That ticket would be the least experienced ticket in presidential history.

This stuff sucks way worse than having too wide a stance or getting a blow job from an intern. And it has been going on way tooooo long!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 01:24 PM) This whole thing is just sad, whether true or not. Either Edwards gets raked, or Mrs. Edwards gets raked. Either way, it's just plain sad. Totally agree.

Why can't Team Obama answer this most simple of questions? From ABC News: The campaign would not answer if Obama was denied outright from visiting the base. The Pentagon is calling them out on it: Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman denied they tried to discourage Obama's visit and denied the Pentagon rebuked the campaign about the appropriateness of the planned visit. "We learned a few days ago of the interest in Sen. Obama going to Landsthul and all we did was simply remind people just to remember our longstanding guidance with respect to policital campaigns in an election year," Whitman said, "And remind them that Sen. Obama is a sitting senator or has an interest and is welcome to visit an installation, to include something like Landstuhl, but his visit would need to be done consistent with a visit as a sitting senator." However Whitman noted that officials at Landstuhl were aware of DOD's long-standing guidelines to distinguish between the visit of a sitting senator and a visit under the auspices of a political campaign.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) Much would also depend on the age of the baby. If the baby was pre-cancer, he's still a scum bag, but I would not expect him to turn his back on mom and his baby. If the baby was post cancer, he's a scum bag of the highest order and should never show his face in public again. Not even for a public blood letting or shamful apology. But, I am willing to wait until better proof is presented. But, there seems to be no shortage of women for these guys. Again this from the Enquirer, but they claim the baby is an infant because of the car seat in Rielle Hunter's car.

*** UPDATE *** From NBC's Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube A U.S. military official tells NBC News they were making preparations for Sen. Barack Obama to visit wounded troops at the Landstuhl Medical Center at Ramstein, Germany on Friday, but "for some reason the visit was called off." One military official who was working on the Obama visit said because political candidates are prohibited from using military installations as campaign backdrops, Obama's representatives were told, "he could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers." In addition, "Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama's visit." The official said "We didn't know why" the request to visit the wounded troops was withdrawn. "He (Obama) was more than welcome. We were all ready for him."

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 11:06 AM) you are absurd, they make the trips for weeks than the day before, on a trip planned to the hour, they weren't even sure if his plane could land on the base. Grow up. They weren't sure his plane could land there? Meaning? 1.) They didn't have permission. NOOOOOOO! 2.) It was too big to land there. UMMM. NOOO, seeing as the military can land C-17 Globemasters and C-5 Galaxies. So I'm cornfused.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 01:16 PM) How dare Obama use his time oversees to improve American foreign relations! And give the finger to the troops: SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that Obama has canceled a planned short visit to the Rammstein and Landstuhl US military bases in the southwest German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The visits were planned for Friday. "Barack Obama will not be coming to us," a spokesperson for the US military hospital in Landstuhl announced. "I don't know why." Shortly before the same spokeswoman had announced a planned visit by Obama The trip was cancelled when a campaign staffer was told he could not accompany Obama on the trip to visit the troops, only personal and committee staff may accompany a sitting Senator on a visit but campaign staff may not. And if this is true, why didn't Obama tell the pinhead to remain behind?

I know its the National Enquirer but did anyone read about their confrontation with Edwards at the Hilton in Los Angeles. Waiting for coverage from the press.

Israeli Reporter Throws Fastball Down the Middle of the Plate... [Greg Pollowitz] ...swing and a miss: An Israeli journalist called out to Obama: “Can you ensure that there will be no second Holocaust?” Obama walked into the museum’s main building without responding. And there was a second fastball: Once again an Israeli journalist asked the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee how he’d help prevent a second Holocaust. "Senator can you assure Israel that there will be no second Holocaust despite Iran's threat to wipe us off the map?" he asked. Obama demurred, saying that it wasn't appropriate to answer the question there. "This is Yad Vashem!" the journalist responded. Obama said he would answer the question at a later press availability. Strike two...

Watch the closing price for oil next thursday. If Sept crude future can close below 122.27, you will have an outside down month, which is bearish, and technically speaking oil will be broken. Once again, technically you should see some follow through to the down side.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 12:46 PM) The question there is pretty clear. If he doesn't have a criminal record for drug use, he answers no. It didn't ask "have you ever used drugs?" The above answer is not a lie, but Obama clearly lied on TV yesterday: Obama continued: Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don't have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon. But Obama is not a member of that committee.... Those damn teleprompters, I hate when they lie... Full coverage from the MSM to follow.
