It's amazing what people will do to smear Hillary. Isn't suspect that this movie has been out as long as it has and yet not one single person picked up on this quote? Of course it is -- that's because the most inflamatory part of this quote was not said. Go to min 4:38, that's when it starts and turn up the volume - "WHITE NI**ER" is not coming out of his mouth, just look at Kantor's lips:

In this clip you'll see that Obama is amused that farmers in Iowa weren't asking him about corn, but they were actually asking him about other issues. Believe it or not, this happened all across Iowa!

Obama's ability to strike a conciliatory tone was completely absent in yesterday's press conference. It was clear that answering questions that deal with controversial issues are outside of his comfort level. Why didn't Obama answer the questions head on? Why did he run away from questions that were asked by those most familiar with the Rezko case? Moreover, why did the Obama campaign release information about the Rezko land deal to Bloomberg News instead of releasing it to the Chicago news outlets like The Tribune?

The Obama campaign seems intent on pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. On the eve of a huge election, it has been discovered that a member of the Obama campaign met with Canadian officials to reassure Canada that Obama's rhetoric against NAFTA is just "political positioning." When this story first emerged, Canadian officials and the Obama campaign denied that there was a meeting. Now that that there's a memo proving that a meeting did take place, the Obama campaign has adamantly denied that the official was on campaign business and stated that the individual was out there on matter related to his work.

For those that have heard about Michelle Obama's thesis titled "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community," it has been obtained exclusively by The Politico. You and find the document here.

Thoughts?

I remember there was a post on the rec list that claimed that Obama's real-estate deal with Rezko was completely legit. Well, let's revisit. Apparently, what many of us didn't realize was that the Obama campaign was filtering the e-mail to the media.

The campaign declined to share the sellers' e-mails with the Tribune or elaborate on the Bloomberg story.

They WILL NOT release the text of the e-mail. So much for transparency. I wish this was the extent of it, but it's not.

Obama has recovered from his selective amnesia! Praise the Lord! When Obama was previously asked how Tony Rezko found out about the adjoining property in question, Obama used to use the "I don't recall" answer given by politicians who don't want to lie:

It's not clear why Obama had not previously divulged Rezko's tour of the house with him. In 2006, he told the Tribune he recalled talking to Rezko and his wife "either at an event or some conversation we had where they mentioned to me that they either knew the property or knew the developer or something like that.

When this story first came out, I, like Barack Obama, shrugged off off the story as no big deal. However, the more that the Obama campaign tried to sweep this under the rug, the more fascinated I, as well as the rest of the media, became with the story. Apparently, Jake Tapper has found yet another moment when Obama "borrowed" Deval's lines:

Patrick in June 2006, at the Massachusetts Democratic party convention: "I am not asking anybody to take a chance on me. I am asking you to take a chance on your own aspirations."

Obama one year later, as quoted in USA Today: "I am not asking anyone to take a chance on me. I am asking you to take a chance on your own aspirations."

How many more of these "borrowed" lines are going to surface?

Isn't this always the case? What is Obama's current position on seating the Florida delegates?

"Whether it is Barack Obama’s record, her position on Social Security, or even the meaning of the Florida Primary, it seems like Hillary Clinton will do or say anything to win an election. When he is the nominee, Barack Obama will campaign vigorously in Florida and Michigan to put them in the Democratic column in 2008."

However, in September of 2007, he sang a slightly different tune:

"Barack Obama hinted during a Tampa fundraiser Sunday that if he's the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, he'll seat a Florida delegation at the party's national convention, despite national party sanctions prohibiting it."

At one point in this article, he fails to realize that he's not supposed to be talking to Florida reporters:

Great news for Hillary! Recent polls show her winning by pretty substantial leads in OH, TX and PA.

Rasmussen
TX: Clinton 54% - Obama 38%
OH: Clinton 51% - Obama 37%

Quinnipiac
OH: Clinton 55% - Obama 34%
PA: Clinton 52% - Obama 36%

This is definitely welcomed news for the Hillary campaign. There appears to be a series of events that are stacked in Hillary's favor: the Texas debate and the March 3rd Rezko trial. (That's right, the Rezko case starts exactly one day before March 4th voting!) The trial will show whether or not he has truly been vetted.

Democrats had a great night yesterday. As a Hillary supporter, I think she had the greater night and that was apparent when you compare and contrast her speech with Obama's. Typically, the winner takes a positive tone and the loser tends to get somewhat negative.

Hillary thanked Obama:

I also want to congratulate Senator Obama for his victories tonight. And I look forward to continuing our campaign and our debate about how to lead this country better off in the next generation, because that is the work of my life - that is why I started my career fighting for abused and neglected children, children who have drawn the short straw in life, because this nation gave me every opportunity and we can do the same for every child.

However, after Obama congratulated Hillary for her victories, he didn't stop there. He employed a very negative tone :

I remember reading a diary about this topic in the late morning. I didn't make much of it because it had no link and it claimed that Hillary Clinton was attempting to smear Obama. After I got back home from work, I decided to google: Obama, Gavin Newsom. And as plain as the nose on my face, I read that Obama refused to have his picture taken with San Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsom because the good mayor was in favor of gay marriage:

"I think he has harbored this resentment for years," Brown said of Newsom, adding that Obama was reluctant to be seen appearing in San Francisco altogether, much less side by side with the gay-marriage mayor. "I would guess that is part of the rejection of the Obama campaign."

Unfortunately for the Illinois Senator, this isn't the first time he has raised doubts about his support to the gay community:

The Retail, Wholesale & Dept. Store Union (RWDSU [UFCW Affiliate]) (UFCW) has just issued the following press release:

She has stood with us and has been and continues to be supportive of our efforts to call attention to Wal-Mart's business practices that hurt working families. And she has lent her voice to calls for the giant retailer to change its ways.

Hillary was the first woman and therefore had to pick and choose her fights more selectively than her male counterparts. During her time on the board, Hillary advocated for hiring practices that employed more women and minorities and she advocated for more environmentally friendly Wal-Mart policies.

Now, about that Rezko character...
