‘Dream ticket’ a nightmare prospect, says Carter
2008-06-05 11:01:00 Sudhan @11:00 CET Jonathan Freedland | The Guardian, June 5, 2008 Carter described the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket as ‘the worst mistake that could be made’. Photograph: Getty Images Barack Obama should not pick Hillary Clinton as his vice-presidential nominee, former president Jimmy Carter has told the Guardian. “I think it would be the worst mistake that could be made,” Carter said, adding: “That would just accumulate the negative aspects of both candidates.” The former president, who formally endorsed the Illinois senator late on Tuesday, cited opinion polls showing 50% of US voters with a negative view of Senator Clinton. In terms that might discomfort the Obama camp, he said: “If you take that 50% who just don’t want to vote for Clinton and add it to whatever element there might be who don’t think Obama is white enough or old enough or experienced enough or because he’s got a middle name that sounds Arab, you could have the worst of both worlds.” C...

Obama And Lieberman In Heated Conversation Today
2008-06-05 04:00:00 By- Suzie-Q @ 7:00 PM MST Obama In Heated Conversation With Lieberman June 4, 2008 12:24 PM Update: Obama and Lieberman had a heated conversation on the floor of the Senate later today. Details below. Senator Joe Lieberman, serving aptly as John McCain’s foreign policy attack dog, jumped on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday to rip holes into Barack Obama’s stance on Israel. Playing off of Obama’s address to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the Connecticut independent acknowledged that he hadn’t heard the speech — and urged for a “civil and constructive” presidential campaign — before taking Obama to task for not being consistently tough on Iran. “I appreciate many of the very good intentions to Israel and Israeli security that Senator Obama express today,” said Lieberman. “I thought in the speech there was a disconnect between things Senator Obama said today, particularly in regard to Iran...

Failed Leadership, The Edge Of Oblivion Is Here…

On top of that 28 million American live on food stamps. Last week, Brian Williams showed an 18 percent rise in food bank use by middle class Americans. According to America’s Second Harvest, one of the nation’s largest hunger relief organizations, 36 percent of the 25 million people served live in a household where someone works. “The working poor increasingly have to choose between rent, electricity, medicine and groceries,” said Ross Fraser of America’s Second Harvest. “When new hunger figures are released, the numbers will be much worse: a loaf of bread costs 15 percent more now than this time last year, and the price of milk has risen 13 percent.” “To meet demand, one food bank in Maryland installed a commercia...

Clinton: “Obama will be good friend to Israel”
2008-06-04 22:06:00 by Geezer Power…1:06 pm Can you believe the unpremeditated gall of this presumptive Senator in a pants suit? Instead of admitting defeat, and calling for unification of the Democratic party, she is speaking to AIPAC about Obama when he has already shown that he speaks very eloquently for himself. The very idea that she has mentioned her willingness to be Obamas running mate makes me nauseous and p*ssed off at the same time. I can only hope that she will lose her position as a so called Democratic Senator…G: Clinton address AIPAC Wednesday.

Pelosi, Reid, Dean To Go Public: Democrats Need To Declare Their Presidenti

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night, top figures in the Democratic Party are set to go public, urging all uncommitted officials to declare their presidential affiliations. Sources have confirmed that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DNC Chairman Howard Dean, and an official with the Democratic Governors Association are planning to release a public statement on Wednesday morning requesting that the party close its ranks and prepare for the race against Sen. John McCain. The move, which had been anticipated but seemed unnecessary following Obama’s clinching of the nomination on Tuesday night, is an indication that few figures beyond Clinton’s utmost loyalists are willing to stomach a prolonged vacation period for the New York Democrat to make up her mind.

Obama: “The End Of One Historic Journey With The Beginning Of Another
2008-06-04 16:00:00 By- Suzie-Q @ 7:00 AM MST From: Carpetbagger Report Yes he did Posted June 4th, 2008 at 7:45 am It’s hard to overstate how exceedingly unlikely this was. When Barack Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007 — it seems like years ago — he was a candidate to be taken seriously, but hardly the likely nominee. Obama not only faced a popular former senator who was the VP candidate one cycle earlier, but was also launching a challenge against the overwhelming favorite — a popular senator with an impressive background, universal name recognition, and the best name in Democratic politics. If you took a poll in all 50 states the day Obama announced, he would have trailed in 49. Nationally, Obama started out with less money, fewer endorsements, less institutional support, and a smaller, less experienced staff. He started off trailing Hillary Clinton by about 20 points. By the late fall of 2007, it was about 25 points. He was too young. Too inexperienced. His name soun... More About: Journey , Historic
Hillary Clinton and American dynasties
2008-06-04 12:32:00 Sudhan @12:30 CET Gerard Warner | Telegraph.co.uk, June 4, 2008 The sun setting on Hillary Clinton ’s presidential bid also represents a setback to the dynastic character of American politics. Since the Founding Fathers so ostentatiously renounced monarchy in 1776, dynasties have frequently flourished in the Land of the Free. By the time America’s second president John Adams died in 1826 his son, John Quincy Adams, was occupying the White House. A family affair: Chelsea, Hillary and Bill Clinton Presidents Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt were, of course, cousins. Only a relentless campaign of assassination prevented the institutionalisation of the Kennedy dynasty. If Hillary Clinton had won this year, by the end of her first term in 2012 the United States would have been governed by alternating members of the Clinton and Bush dynasties for 24 consecutive years. The illness of Senator Edward Kennedy signals the demise of another American quasi-royal line. Anomaly is no strang...
