Obama can do basketball!

When he can use 20 seconds of an impromptu interview, to punch home the message about the needs of that school.

That’s a politician! John major demonstrated his cricket skills, but as a politician… As they say, that’s another story.

Hilary under fire in Bosnia?

You have to see this.

Can you believe that someone in the media spotlight would tell an outright lie or is it mis-remember? So what happened to the advisers, were they just missing-in-active?

Keep that in perspective, when the current death toll of US soldiers reaches 4,000 and Iraqi civilians exceeds 1 Million.

Will this prospective president tell the truth? I missed a spoke when fixing my bike as a kid!
Draw your own conclusions!

Richardson Endorsement for Obama

Good news comes like buses. New Mexico speaks ” You are a once in a life time leader”.

Now the focus is on Super delegates.

The Obama Factor: The Politics of Race Baiting

There is a lot of things that can be said in regards to what the Democratic Party Presidential primary process is all about, but one thing it’s not is democratic! The whole institution of the Super Delegates was created by the Party, to prevent those possible contenders who are populists (or who like Obama campaign on a populist platform), from obtain the nomination (see here for details). Ferraro intention was not to make a “racist” comment as such, but a calculated, strategic move (by the Clinton campaign) to explain (complain) why the populist sounding Obama was still in contention. The truth is if he was white, “he would not be in this position” to win the Democratic Presidential nomination because the Party establishment would have shut him down long ago! (I am not too sure about her view that if he was a Black “female” candidate who was doing just as well, that “he would not be in this position”. Hillary and the Democratic Party establishment would then have to contend with both race and gender, a much taller order to try to defeat. But I digress).

Obama. One day at a time.

I just had to link in to a post because the article it pointed to, was, most excellent!

What’s the picture that emerges from these four impressions?

Smart, normal, curious, not radical, and post-Boomer.

If you were asking me to write a capsule description of what I would look for in the next President of the United States, that would be it.

Having met him and then having watched him for the last 12 months run one of the best-executed and cleanest major presidential campaigns in recent memory, I have no doubt that Senator Obama has the judgment, bearing, intellect, and high ethical standards to be an outstanding president — completely aside from the movement that has formed around him, and in complete contradiction to the silly assertions by both the Clinton and McCain campaigns that he’s somehow not ready.

If you are following this election as I am from UK, then this is a; must read.
