I was feeling so great this morning after months of being intensely involved in Obama's campaign. I volunteered, gave money, and spent far too much time vicariously savoring this remarkable candidate's honesty, integrity, and values. I have to admit to myself, however, to being intensely saddened and disappointed after making the mistake of watching Senator Obama's speech to AIPAC.

Interview today: “I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

Speaks for itself. I can't think of anything more to add so apologies for it not really being a diary.

Black people aren't hard-working?

Not a diary really, but I can't see straight after Hillary Clinton's latest impersonation of '72-era George Wallace. She's quoted in USA Today, as everyone here probably knows, saying: "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she then cites an AP article that, as she put it: "found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me." For that matter are people with college degrees somehow not hard-working? I know everyone picked up the white Americans thing, but the media for so long has declared that African-Americans somehow can't be working class, they're just black. Now, they can't be hard-working either. WTF?

Absolutely vile and classic Clinton.

Freddy Nietzsche would be smiling down on Barack Obama, the great hope of this nation.

Chris Bowers has a spot on analysis of the fundamental ideological difference between Obama and Clinton: the Iraq War. It's worth reading.

Here's how Clinton described the war today on the grim marker of 4,000 American casualties:

"In the last five years, our soldiers have done everything we asked of them and more. They were asked to remove Saddam Hussein from power and bring him to justice and they did. They were asked to give the Iraqi people the opportunity for free and fair elections and they did. They were asked to give the Iraqi government the space and time for political reconciliation, and they did. So for every American soldier who has made the ultimate sacrifice for this mission, we should imagine carved in stone: 'They gave their life for the greatest gift one can give to a fellow human being, the gift of freedom.'

Maybe some of you know this already, but I found it shocking that this hasn't been more widely reported.

Barbara Ehrenreich writes today in the Huffington Post that Hillary Clinton has been an active member and participant in "The Family," since 1993. The Family is a cult-like organization that worships Jesus, but refrains from the word Christian. Their recent membership includes, or has included, James Inhofe, Ed Meese, Rick Santorium, and John Ashcroft.

Not really a full diary, but I thought it was worth highlighting. Today, Hillary Clinton lied again about the importance of that 2002 vote to authorize the Iraq War. How she can still claim, without media scrutiny and after months of campaigning, that the war vote was to authorize diplomacy is another sad example of the Alice in Wonderland state of things. Does anyone in the mainstream media even know what the Levin amendment was?

This is what Hillary Clinton said today:

I don't talk about the conversations that I had with my husband in the White House, but obviously I was there for a lot of phone calls at different times of the day and night, and I have a very clear idea of what it takes to be prepared and ready to not only to answer the phone but then to make the decisions that are required depending on what the crisis is.

This is what she said in voting to authorize the Iraq War:

My decision is influenced by my eight years of experience on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue in the White House watching my husband deal with serious challenges to our nation. I want this President, or any future President, to be in the strongest possible position to lead our country in the United Nations or in war. Secondly, I want to insure that Saddam Hussein makes no mistake about our national unity and for our support for the President's efforts to wage America's war against terrorists and weapons of mass destruction.

Not really a proper diary, but I wanted to get this out there. Did Limbaugh win it for Clinton? Scary to ponder, but there appears to be evidence for it.

More proof that screaming loudly works. Hillary Clinton is a candidate whose husband has abused (ex) Presidential powerto facilitate a deal for the uranium mining rights in Kazakhstan with a corrupt regime and the press focuses on a bullshit real estate deal (Rezko) that doesn't even meet the low Whitewater level of corruption and what one economic adviser may or may not have said to a Canadian consulate officer. Meanwhile, the press has given her a pass on releasing her tax returns. God knows what else she's hiding in those tax returns.
