In the past I have seen and heard him speak in both prepared statements and off the cuff and have noticed that he seems to suddenly be choosing his words VERY carefully.

Can you blame him? Could you imagine being the lead character at the Inquisition and putting just one word or thought out of place?

I agree with the misrepresentation, but that's a "Dog bites Man" story. In all honesty this tax proposal is one of the dumbest things I have heard, and for Hillary to jump on it is embarrassing.

The average savings to each American might be about $30-$40, times the M3 multiple for reinvestment in the economy, minus the loss to the economy from the additional tax revenue reinvestment = 0.

Hyperbole.

The windfall profit tax on the Oil Companies issue has been frequently raised and legislatively it has been a non-starter.

My question is?

Would the MSM please direct this same argument toward the congregations and supporters of the churches of any of the right wingnut (get it?) pastors that they should have left the church upon discovery of the questionable remarks.

Or any other affiliation for that matter.

. . . and maybe making some room for an insanity defense.

Actually from an intellectual (elitist?) perspective, my first thought yesterday was that Wright was going over the top to give Obama room to completely distance himself and take the issue off the table.

Perhaps Chris Matthews appears a closet "Bitter White" who seems to relate a little too well to the fear of an end to the white dominance.

Apartheid Lite?

WRONG!

This is a contest for delegates, and that's how the score is kept. You win more delegates - you win the contest.

Ask President Al Gore.

For one thing - Indonesia is not anywhere near the middle east it's in the far east. So from the obvious complete lack of geographical context this must be originated by the not so elite, "education is a bad thing", Republicans.

I just had a thought. (Pick yourself up off the floor now)

Consider the nuclear option: Obama could threaten the SD's with a third party run which would guarantee a Clinton defeat.

Talk about hardball politics!
