Obama Meets With Edwards
From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic:
CHICAGO -- CBS News has learned that Barack Obama met with John Edwards in North Carolina today, according to a Democratic source.
Edwards has yet to make an endorsement since dropping out of the presidential race last month.
"I don't think there's any imminent news," Obama told CBS affiliate WISC-TV this afternoon.
"We were exchanging views, he was giving me some thoughts, and obviosuly he's gonna be a big force in the Democratic party for many years to come."
Campaign officials would not specify whether the meeting included a promise of an Edwards endorsement."
Questions arose about a potential Obama-Edwards meeting roughly a week ago, after Hillary Clinton met with Edwards on Feb. 7. Obama was supposed to meet with him the day after Clinton, however that meeting was abruptly canceled. The only explanation was that the meeting would be rescheduled.
The Obama campaign has been particularly secretive about a potential Obama-Edwards meeting since then. Obama flew to North Carolina unbeknownst to the traveling press, who flew to Chicago with the Senator early this morning.
Obama praised Edwards during recent campaign stops in Wisconsin. “I think that John Edwards is someone who has lifted up the party,” Obama said in Racine on Wednesday.
“I want him involved in partnering with me to move this country forward.”

What is Obama picking a VP already? Edwards. lol. Edwards will end up being President then.
John Edwards doesn''t need to support a candidate that has this type of problems.

BTW, McCain will be a perfect TKO for
Barack. He''ll then pick him up off the mat and start to work.
Looks like Hillary is calling up Rove''s mystic spirit hotline. Don''t even bother with this as nobody else will. I wonder if the Clintons will pardon the telecommunications co.s like they pardoned Marc Rich? Scooter Libby used to work for Rich as an attorney. Pardon Bush next? Truthbesold?

So somebody can find something even barely questionable and she''ll have to spend campaign time defending it!
Obama is NOT above dirty politics...and certainly has some skeletons in his own closet that really need to be looked at closely.

-Now this looks like some desperate benefitors form an eventual Clitorn nomination, are panicking seeing Barrack taking energetically the lead in the Democratic campaign, recoursing to reputation smearing. Oh pleaeaeasee, spare us such a disgusting trash smearing BO, the future president of the United States of America.
-This Sinclair is so disgusting, looks like a slimy human being if at all. Hard to believe such a trash... good luck you idiot benefitors. This is a low, disgusting way only you, Repukons, AIPAC-apologists can take.
Did you really expect someone who would be doing these things with Obama to be some clean cup yuppie from Yale?
Don''t blame him. If he decamps the wrong way, he''s definitely out!
Why are you ruling out Obama-Dr.Phill as the dream team for making America wonderland?

-You''re right RowdyTexan2, only filthy scumbag can do that!
Don''t believe me?
You shouldn''t. Random weirdos can claim anything- it doesn''t make the claims true.
No, that actually would be Dr.Phill, Britney Spears and George W. Bush. America has already seen this utopia. "I believe that we should support President Bush and not question his decisions" (more or less), Britney sounds a lot like Hillary. Hillary blindly voted for an illegal war not questioning the false intelligence that got Scooter Libby prosecuted for...Lying to the
F...B...I Anyone who voted for this war, anyone who supports this war, and anyone who believes this war is going to end before our children will pay it off before they die is well behind.
If Sinclair is working for the Clinton slime, this is the time to smear Obama however possible.
On the other hand if Sinclair is working for the GOP slime, he should wait until after the convention to achieve the optimum swift-boating effect.
Also, the Sinclair people should not forget to say that Obama was Muslem and selling Afghan heroin while having gay *** with child slave prostitutes. This way the mainstream media will be sure to pick up the story and keep it alive for months.
Slam Dunk! Kerry thought he had it bad??? Obama will be toast.

-The right-wing neo-cons Christian version truth needs to be told. What was his name yet? Ted Hugghard, Mark Foley, ...
It takes Bill Clinton apart in a way that John McCain and the Republicans could only wish they could.
It is a must see for all those who want to innoculate their teenagers from the impact of future "Bimbo" irruptions, fits of lying and other attractions sure to come our way with another Clinton presidency.

Edwards needs to support Obama because seven million more people are backing him now... with Hillary taking Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and even Florida and Michigan voters, Obama would still lead in the popular vote... A break going into Denver will leave America with another Nixon in the Whitehouse. Can America start saying "Iraqgate?" Hillary is trailing and needs a true miracle; or more Diebold voting machines for help...

Mr Barack Hussein Obama! When he changed his religion?How he was raised in Indonesia?Why his dad had 3 wifes at the same time?Who financed his house and land deals?Who is his neighbore (Mr. Luis Farrakahn)That is the man you want in the WH?
Just a little bit of his resume
read this for a change!!! http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/obama.htm An opportunist who knows where and when to stepp in?His marrieg?He had a white girl friend just like his father but he decided to end that because it was not working for him in the future!What about his white grandma and grandpa ? Now he don%u2019t want to talk about them anymore.
I understand that change is difficult, Obama didn''t have to debate because he is leading in Wisconsin. Hillary just wants to play it like she''s the Chuck Norris, Arnold, Rambo, tough chick that is going to somehow put Barack on the shelf and expose this ''impostor'' to the world.
"VOTE WISELY AND PRUDENTLY.
God Bless America!!!!"
Come on H.W. Sr, I understand you''re a civilian negotiator now, but wouldn''t it be nice to leave the comment board to the general public... A little worried hugh?
That''s understandable.
Here is an article on Obama at Snopes.com, a website devoted to fact-checking and exposure of "urban legends"--

Here is another Snopes.com article on the most common rumors about Obama--

McCain--
Here is a news article on John McCain at abcnews.com, detailing his "offenses" against the Bush GOP--
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/02/limbaugh-mccain.html
Any fact check will show McCain is more conservative, according to the Heritage Foundation, than Bush. However, McCain votes as he views the issue, not as Bush does (does this make Bush less conservative / more "liberal"?).
Clinton--
Here at Snopes.com is the best means to track down pesky urban legends about Hillary--

Affordable health care for all, bring our troops home and bring our economy up and the optimism of the American people to say, "Yes we can".
VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

- First you say be "realistic" and vote for Clinton because Obama''s position lacks substance. Then you say think for yourself and don''t believe everything you hear. I''m thinking for myself and think Obama''s positions have substance and he''s debating her this Thursday. Sounds to me like you''re repeating sound bites you heard in the Clinton campaign and calling it reality.
