Obama and Context

New York Times: A excellent article by David Brooks on how come Obama has not gotten a double digit lead over McCain. The answer is simple, what is the context of Obama. As stated I was an early supporter of Obama on this Blog and other Media. But the context changed, the post racial candidate became the African - American Candidate who was the Democratic Nominee not the other way around. He was not Hillary Clinton that was a major bonus, but as of now he has changed his mind on so many polices its hard to see what the difference was between the two, just that Obama wanted to win more at the end. If Obama's moves on Iraq, this blog will support him but his refusal to move and to pander to the left has moved this blog to more critical and also more supportive of McCain. It all could have been so different if had had not been for Pastor Wright. Read of the Day.

The Note ?

Politico: Reports on an allegation that the Bush White House forged a note that was meant to show that a link existed between the events of 9/11 and Iraq. The author, Ron Suskind wrote a very interesting book on the Bush Administration, The Price of Loyalty in 2004. I found that book interesting if not agreeing with its direction. Its interesting as Iraq has improved the elite media has to go back in to the past, they really want Obama to win in 2008.

Left Wing Zealots and Blogs

New York Sun: Reports that Liberal that support Obama are trying to close down right wing blogs. Lets see, the Obama Camp has used the race card against the McCain Camp when McCain has not gone any where near race as an issue, and now we have left wing zealots who do not care about the freedom of the press or bloggers, they are trying to close down blogs that oppose Obama. Senator Obama is better man and candidate than to have these people as supporters. I call on the Obama Camp to say Just No, Freedom Matters, and come out and denounce those that try to curb free speech, this is a test for Senator Obama and the Obama Camp. By the way if there is lack of posts on this blog over then next few days you will know that this blog has become a target of those that oppose the 1st Amendment.
