Obama’s Challenges in the Campaign’s Final Days, from A to Z
The video. This is a radically different version of my earlier video, for which I forgot to put in a disclaimer that I was not buying into the criticisms, but merely listing them. The same goes for this one, although it is more upbeat in tone. Here is the script: “A” is for [A]CORN, a group which gets out the vote. Right-Wingers have (falsely) ...

IT'S ALL ABOUT COLOR!
This presidential race is all about color! How easily we forget history! How quickly the hard lessons of the past are faded away. McCain and Palin's ''disagreement'' is nothing more than a tactic to steer those not able to think on their own, away from what is really happening. The color issue. Trust me...it's all about color. RED, ...

C is for ''dealing with Hillary Clinton'', now there's a sticky wicket! Can he assuage her supporters without ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away.

Noah's double standard; skinny= racist; wrinkly & scarred=OK
This article is so patently absurd, it's barely worth responding, but I'm compelled to point out the blatant hypocrisy of Slate for printing this joke because even insinuating Chozick is racist is a very serious accusation. In this article, Noah claims that because race is so intertwined with his appearance, calling any attention to appearances ...

Sorry, but I don't agree
Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.'' We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...
