Let’s get this straight. If McSame makes allusions to Barack’s heritage, it’s not racist. If McSame’s surrogates make allusions to Barack’s race, allusions to his religion (Based on his middle name), makes allusions to his qualification for office, based on his popularity, makes allusions to his color based on his electability, it’s NOT racist, but if he defends himself against those self-same allusions, he;s playing the race card? This is republican politics at it’s best. If you answer the question, when did you stop beating your wife with anything, then you are apparently admitting that you beat her at some point. If you don’t answer, then you must be beating her or else you would answer. Gotta love ‘em. No substance, just smear.

Apparently in a nod to the worldwide disdain for and dislike of Bushie are the new gold standard for President. McCain’s camp has released a new ad that implies that Obama’s popularity, both at home, and in the rest of the world are a bad thing. Guess the less people, both here in America, and even more so abroad, the better a President you would be. Thanks for putting that belief in focus for us McCain. This must be why Cindy McCain came back stateside, she sensed the “death-smell” of her husband’s campaign.

As he is traveling abroad, Barack Obama seems to be hearing a slightly different line that Bush and McSame are shouting over here. While Bush and McSame are touting our need to stay in Iraq indefinitely, Iraqi President al-Maliki has been quoted in a major German newspaper, Der Spiegel as supporting Obama’s vision for troop withdrawal, and virtually any other Iraq will tell you the same thing, they would much rather be allowed to run their own country. Only here in America, in the land of Bush, is there the opinion that we know what’s best for Iraq and we should continue to run their country for them. Amazingly enough while on the one hand, Bush and McSame claim that the "surge" has worked, that we have "won the war", any call to exit the country and let it run itself is answered with, "Leaving will cause us to LOSE the war". Either we have won, or we haven’t. and if we haven’t even after our mighty "surge" then maybe we need to decide how many Iraqi’s we need to kill, and how many US soldiers we are willing to sacrifice to get that job done. Either do it right, or don’t do it at all…

Wow.. Really? From a "Reverend"? Boy. Whooo. Weird. Jesse said that? Jesse Jackson?

Well, as D.L. Hughley put it, Once Obama wins the Presidency, Jesse Jackson will have to go back to selling insurance for a living. He is afraid that his days of living off the specter of disenfranchisement are just about over. Additionally, he’s apparently been drinking the Haterade. Add in the fact he’s still sensitive about Obama’s Father’s Day Speech about Fatherly Responsibilites, when we all know Jesse has a kid  "on the side". and the fact that Obama is doing what Jesse apparently couldn’t, and to make it worse, is doing so while appealing to, and striving for the presidency of ALL of America, not just certain parts and tight demographics like Jesse did. All in all, thst will help Barack. Among the Black community, we are well aware that Jesse has pretty much lost his relevancy, and we all know he’s gone a bit soft in the head with age, but among white voters, Jesse saying what he did just goes to show that

1.) Barack isn’t in league to take over America for blacks, and
2.) Barack must not be quite as far left liberal as many thought he was.

Go Jesse. Help Obama.

Update: 

In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."

Though a Fox spokesman confirmed to The Associated Press that Jackson used the slur, the network declined to release the full transcript of the July 6 show and did not air the comments.
