Hillary Falls Behind In New Poll

What candidate ‘would be best able to lead the country out of Iraq?’

Obama: 27.87%
Edwards: 24.84%
Kucinich: 17.18
Richardson: 12.26%
Clinton: 10.7%

Sen. Hillary Clinton, the current favorite to win Democratic nomination, lagged behind her most of her competition in a poll taken after a virtual town hall meeting over Iraq.

Hillary Clinton You Tube Parody

Let the games begin.  In the most brazen political attack so far this election season, an unauthorized Internet ad for Barack Obama was submitted to the popular You Tube website.  The ad for the Illinois Senator is a parody of the 1984 Apple Computers Super Bowl commercial.  In the ad, an ominous Big Brother figure drones to a mass of zombielike followers, but this time Big Brother is Hillary Clinton.

Obama - Please apologize for apologizing

“We now have spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted.”

These were the words spoken by Barack Obama during his 1st press conference as a Presidential canidate.  Immediately afterward, he apologized for the remarks, commenting that:

‘’I was actually upset with myself when I said that, because I never use that term, their sacrifices are never wasted. . . . What I meant to say was those sacrifices have not been honored by the same attention to strategy, diplomacy and honesty on the part of civilian leadership that would give them a clear mission.”

Obama, if you believe the war’s a mistake, that we are worse off now than before the war, then you believe anyone who dies in this effort is a life wasted.  Saying that is not a slight towards our troops, not derogatory in anyway towards our brave men and women, it is a remark towards our foreign policy. 

Obama, if you’re partly running on a platform that the rules in Washington need changed, I hope you don’t choose to continue playing their games, where ”it is all about who makes a gaffe.”
