The New York Times: A very interesting article how the McCain and the GOP are out to define Obama before he can define himself. The Tag, Weak ( over Iraq and Iran ), Liberal ( pandering to the left over Iraq and the surge ) and Arrogant ( he thinks he is President ) seem to be working at the present.
A look at the Politics of the United States and the UK. The Foreign Policies of both countries and how they behave in the International Community.

Negative Press Works
Politico: Looks at how Senator Obama has gone from post racial, transformational to The One by the McCain Camp or The O by this blog when he goes all Hollywood. How the tag of Liberal, Weak and Arrogant has been helped by the Obama Camp itself. As the Politico points out the Arrogance of Obama has started to be sent up, that should warm the Obama Camp, they are running for President they are not in the White House yet, people have to vote for you, its not some Liberal Wet Dream like the West Wing. The Obama Camp had smart politics to defeat the Clintons but this is a new game, smell the Coffee, move to the centre and dump this left wing racist crap.
The Race Card ?
CBS News: The McCain Camp has gone nuclear, it has accused Obama of using the race card. The Senator has stated that Bush and McCain will use as way to defeat him. This is a risky move by Obama, its easy to see why he is using this ploy, the trip to Europe was not on the whole a great success and he is seen as weak, arrogant, and Liberal. Thus Obama is using the trick that worked in the Democratic Race, closed down all attacks on Obama and accuse those that state differences as being racist, a very low move, it might work, but have my doubts, the US voter is not the left wing voters of the Democratic Race. It can be argued that they just might take offence at being called racist because they don't fawn over Obama. This could really hurt Obama if he is not careful, he is moving more to the left and not the centre, McCain just might be the next POTUS.
Ducking Edwards ?
NewsObserver: Senator Edwards is ducking reporters who want answers to the alleged and rumoured affair between him and a former Campaign worker. The more the Senator ducks the the press the more they will draw their own ideas, would a married man with a wife who has cancer have an affair that leads to a child. Also would an honourable man not stand up and admit or sue the press if the story was not true. I think the American people have the right to answers, the elite media cant cover for Edwards.
