So the title of this article is a little overzealous. This is really a response to a single article, the article Obama Looking Very Short on Changeat newmatilda.com. You can read the whole article here. However, I find the criticisms made against Obama in this article representative of things I have been hearing from my ultra-leftist friends, and, oblivious to the irony, the right-wing pundits. The latter not out of conviction but out of a desperation for arguments against Obama that could stick. The former out of a desire to cling to the almost tantric sense of disenfranchisement imposed by George W. Bush.

Thank you for being here. I know you all have jobs and families to get back to so if you want to go ahead and leave now, and just not mention this whole thing, feel free to do so.

I wanted to start following the recount in real time because I kept reading it was getting closer and closer, under 100 vote margin even. So you can imagine my surprise when I go to the statewide vote results page at the MN Sec. of State to find Franken down 40,000 votes. Here is where the small margin is coming from.

I am in Australia watching World News Australia, and I am watching an election panel with Clarence Page a pathetic college sophomore 'Republican Strategist' and an Australian commentator. The Australian commentator dropped a bomb, saying that he has heard from inside Obama sources that McCain will be tapped for Secy. of Defense. And that if he does not accept it will be offered to Chuck Hagel. I haven't seen this anywhere else. I'll post video if I can get it.

Sorry for the caps, but I thought this was pretty salient. John McCain met (without preconditions) with mass murderer Augusto Pinochet. The story is exclusive to HuffPo. This contradicts even the fleeting farcical terrorist/naive-meeting-brutal-dictators-without-preconditions final straw arguments that McCain was making.

John McCain's Campaign sent illegal fundraising letters soliciting donations from Russia. The Russian UN Mission has made these requests public. This comes to light as the new line of attack from the McCain campaign is to make unfounded accusations that Obama is illegally accepting foreign contributions. The McCain campaign has demonstrated a level of schizophrenic projection unparalleled even by George W. Bush.

McCain Campaign Manager Rick Davis made some pretty damning remarks on the economic crisis today. From First Read:

"There’s very little a candidate for president, and frankly after watching today, very little even the president can say about what’s happening in the stock markets other than to hope that they correct themselves..."
