Who won the week?


The Obama Campaign provides some clarity on their agenda.

Obama Aide Concedes 'Dollar Bill' Remark Referred to His Race
Obama Strategist Calls.

Sen. Barack Obama's chief strategist conceded that the Democratic presidential candidate was referring to his race when he said Republicans were trying to scare voters by suggesting Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."...

Playing the Race Card


says a Massachusetts Institute of Technology technical paper.

I'm shocked and horrified because if you listened to the Congress over the last two years, there was no Federal Funding for projects of this nature.

The idea is to use the energy from solar photovoltaic panels (or another electricity source [aka wind power]) to crack water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Those gases would be stored and used later in a fuel cell to make electricity when the sun is not shining.


Apparently the "People's House" is now the Village of Pelosi as "special interests" hold up the People's business. And since FISA is now off of the table, what issue is so terrible that it once again pushes the Majority to abandon transparency?

Simply put, it is $4.00 a gallon gas combined with the public observation that Congress is part of the problem (or Congress is the problem).

The "Exotic Rodent" The Brand Manager and the Selling of the Empty Suit


The Obama Brand is premised on two key drivers.

First and foremost, is that Obama is not a politician bur rather a messenger of change. That is the response of the mob is simple and straight forward to every Obama utterance, “Yes. We. Can!”.

Seoond and related, words and principles have little meaning, the campaign is all about personality.


Apparently, the Dems are going to send the homeless to feed the ducks at City Park.

Obama makes an artful statement and then retreats


the "Stable Iraq" caveat followed by the yelping of his base and it is back to the withdrawal timetable.

Whoever is elected president this fall will face a stabilizing Iraq ( link and link) and an emerging Middle East democracy. An inartful statement here (similar to Truman on Korea) or an inartful action there (a premature withdrawal of Amercians) and poof devastation both domestically and geopolitically.

Is Barry's (Obama's) real middle name


"waffle"? Simply put, it certainly fits.
