According to White House principal deputy press secretary Eric Schultz

President Barack Obama disagrees with Bernie Sanders: He thinks Hillary Clinton is qualified to be president.

“The president has said that Secretary Clinton comes to this race with more experience than any other non-vice president in recent campaign history.”

He goes on to say that President Obama is proud of Hillary Clinton’s service as Secretary of State.

My thoughts: It was only a matter of time for the President to comment on Bernie Sanders’s remarks. I was surprised when Sanders’s campaign doubled down on his comments about Secretary Clinton being unqualified to be President. I hope he takes back the comments and apologizes.

It’s important to learn our history, so we can understand today and tomorrow. After all, if we are to avoid the cycle of history repeating itself, we must know our past.

Today, I've decided to concentrate on the influences of fascism. Interestingly, it seems that elements of fascism are attracted to March 23rd, so let us hope that history does not repeat itself. However, among the sea of fascism there is a hint of liberty. It is a hint of hope and emulation.

Kudos and props to the various campaigns that made a statement of good wishes concerning Elizabeth Edwards.

This gives me hope that no matter the bickering in the political campaigns, ultimately we are decent human beings that can come together when a fellow person is in need and trouble.

I've compiled various statements and pictures that the campaigns sent concerning Elizabeth's recurring cancer. If I missed any, please post them below. The various statements is below the flip.

In this day and age where facebook and myspace dominates the social networks of young people, especially college students...more and more politicians are trying to show that they have a strong contingent of young people supporting their candidacy.

For example, a facebook group called " Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack)" has over 145k members http://cornell.facebook.com/...

A short time after Barack's one million facebook group popped up, other supporters of different candidates decided to mimic this strategy to presumably show that they have large support from young adults.

Example:
The facebook group, "Hillary Clinton for President - One Million and Beyond for Hillary" created a similar group to challenge Barack Obama's strong support among the facebook crowd. Currently they have about 20 (granted the group was formed yesterday) members

Biden says he's seeking Democratic nomination
So said Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., who spoke about the Charleston Harbor Operation Center (known as Project Seahawk), port security, the war in Iraq, and his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination during a visit to Charleston on Wednesday.

Personally, I don't think Biden has a chance, but who knows...But interestingly he seems to place his bet on South Carolina

"I'm looking for the nomination," he said. "I think South Carolina will determine the next (Democratic) candidate."

Kos has always been a Sherrod Brown supporter...neutral? HA!

Kos has been wishing for Hackett's demise from the beginning. He fervently hoped that Hackett would drop out.
For example: http://www.dailykos.com/...

If Sherrod Brown loses, we the netroots will rightfully blame Kos for the failure of winning DeWine's seat. Today, I am ashamed how a cabal of bloggers-Kos and Jerome helped to end a bold and courageous person, Hackett's run for political office. He would have been a person of integrity and dignity.

Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks has died, Local 4 has learned.

Parks, 92, reportedly died around 7 p.m. Monday, a city source said.

Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 landed her in jail and sparked a bus boycott that is considered the start of the modern civil rights movement.
