Hillary Clinton had a one on one interview with David Brody of CBN News over the weekend. Because of Pat Roberston's history of making hateful statements I disagree with her appearing on CBN. (Since my original draft of this diary commenters have pointed out that Barack Obama did an interview with CBN too. I also disagree with that for the same reasons)

Hillary Clinton Fights On
By David Brody
CBN News Senior National Correspondent
February 26, 2008

Brody: Are you misunderstood? And if you are, why?

Clinton: You know, I have to believe I am because time and time again, people - who have been criticizing me in very harsh and personal terms - once they have gotten to know me, have apologized to me and have even asked for my forgiveness.

More below... including video report that aired on 'The 700 Club' and video of the complete interview with David Brody of CBN News.

UPDATE:

Added Barack Obama's one on one interview on CBN with David Brody from back in early November 2007.

Just heard this on-line at the Michelle Obama rally at Cleveland State University this afternoon. Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson announced his endorsement of Barack Obama as he was introducing Michelle! The crowd went crazy!

Michelle just said that she's glad mayor Jackson did it while she was here.

This is HUGE!

Michelle is knocking it out of the park in her speech, as usual.

Story from Channel 5 in Cleveland: Cleveland Mayor Says He's Backing Obama For President

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said he's backing Barack Obama for president.

Jackson made the announcement before Obama's wife, Michelle, spoke at a rally at Cleveland State University Thursday.

Jackson had said as recently as last week that he had not decided whether to endorse Obama or Hillary Clinton.

UPDATE:

This may have been the best speech from Michelle I've heard so far. Just amazing!

If you haven't had a chance to see this morning's Meet The Press with Tim Russert it is must see TV for anyone who cares about the Presidential nomination process for the Democrats this year. The guests were Senator Dick Durbin (for Barack Obama) and Senator Chuck Schumer (for Hillary Clinton).

The emerging themes of the discussion were winning the nomination based on merit and principle vs. a desired outcome and making that happen at all costs. The discussion included super-delegates and the seating of delegates from Michigan and Florida.

Here is the video link where you can watch for yourself then comment below. (includes the roundtable discussion afterwards: 'Capital Gang', with Margaret Carlson, Al Hunt, Bob Novak, Kate O'Beirne and Mark Shields.)

I have also included parts of the transcript below with a poll.

UPDATE: added video link from Face The Nation (Clinton: Howard Wolfson and Obama: David Axelrod)

Last week senior staff members of the Hillary Clinton campaign attempted to create a controversy for Barack Obama over a potential debate in Wisconsin. The Hillary Clinton campaign even went as far to put out a negative TV ad attacking Barack for not agreeing to a debate before the Wisconsin primary next Tuesday.

View her campaign TV ad here.

Yesterday a diary author here suggested an idea for a response by the Obama campaign. See below for this idea and the new TV ad the Obama campaign is now running in Wisconsin.

Steven Spielberg has decided to take a stand on principle and not participate as an artistic advisor to the 2008 summer Olympic Games in Beijing. He says the reason is China not taking a more decisive role in resolving the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. China is the biggest customer of Sudanese Oil. Spielberg's decision is described as a public relations blow for the Chinese government.

For the past two years many human rights activist groups like Human Rights Watch has criticized the Chinese government over Darfur causing Chinese officials to complain that the Games were being politicized.

More details on this story and quotes from Spielberg below. Also, I've included the story regarding Olympic athletes being required to sign an oath that bans them from saying anything that might be taken as negative political speech against China while in the country next summer.

Over the past few days the Clinton campaign has tried to create a controversy over debates leading up to the March 4th primaries in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont. Today Barack Obama has agreed to two new debates.

The first debate will be at Cleveland State University and hosted by NBC News and WKYC, the local NBC affiliate in Cleveland. The second debate will be in Texas, but no details are available on that event yet.

The open question... will the second debate to be held in Texas be on Fox News?
