“Ironically, given that he first won over so many independents by speaking his mind, the case for Mr McCain comes down to a piece of artifice: vote for him on the assumption that he does not believe a word of what he has been saying.” – from The Economist’s endorsement of Obama for president The [...]
I don’t know who took this photograph of Barack Obama and a beautiful girl, but it’s one of my favorite photos I’ve seen from the Obama campaign. To me, this expresses the feelings that so many of us feel. It’s the starry-eyed sense of hope for a better future. Barack Obama delivered a very powerful [...]
We’re coming down to the wire, as this very intense presidential campaign will all be over one week from today. Here’s a few things I’d like to share today… Thanks to BarackOblogger.com, I learned that the McCain Girls from the “It’s Raining McCain” video have seen the error of their ways, and are now calling [...]
Today, I’m sharing two very funny political videos, for those that haven’t seen them yet… First, do you remember that silly “Wassup” Budweiser commercial from a few years ago? Here’s the 2008 sequel, with a message I approve, courtesy of 60frames. Second, do you remember that 2004 JibJab video “This Land,” that funny little cartoon [...]
In the past few days, Barack Obama put his presidential campaign on hold to visit with his ailing grandmother in Hawaii. This was certainly not an easy task to do, as he had to change course in the final weeks of a very intense campaign, be confined on an airplane for 9 hours, get a [...]

You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril [...]
Last Sunday, when Colin Powell made his endorsement for the Obama candidacy, he reminded us of what the United States of America is all about- the freedom to worship as one feels fit. Freedom of religion, as well as freedom of speech is one of the guiding principles of the American dream. “Is there something [...]
Some very entertaining Obama endorsement videos by iconic comedians have been posted to the internet. Ron Howard is the latest star to voice his support for Obama, and he did it alongside his old costars Andy Griffith and Henry Winkler in a video for Funny or Die. Watch him strip down, trim his nose hair [...]
The Republican Circular Firing Squad continues to do a lot of really outrageously stupid things. With the economy in the dumpster and a massively expensive quagmire in Iraq, who would have guessed that Sarah Palin’s wardrobe could be the proverbial nail in the coffin? $150,000 for Sarah Palin’s wardrobe, all paid for by the Republican [...]
I know John McCain is looking for more support of his candidacy, but somehow I don’t think this new endorsement is something he’ll appreciate: Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency. _ The [...]
