Obama Continues Courting Working-Class Voters in Indiana
(CBS)
EVANSVILLE, IND. -- Barack Obama continued to court working-class voters this morning, a demographic that has become critical in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries. As he and Hillary Clinton remain in a dead heat in Indiana and she appears to be closing in on his lead in North Carolina, Obama realizes that he can’t take anything for granted.
“We’re working as hard as we can and I desperately want every vote here in Indiana and in North Carolina,” Obama told reporters this morning during a stop at a local construction site.
As he toured the site, Obama spoke to workers about the economy and the gas tax holiday, an issue which has become a sticking point in this election. He called the proposal by John McCain and Hillary Clinton a political “stunt” and said the issue comes up every two years during an election cycle. Obama said a second stimulus check would be a better alternative for short term relief.
“That would help people immediately relieve some crisis and that’s money that you know won’t be sopped up by oil companies.”
He said he is going to be bouncing back and forth between North Carolina and Indiana today and tomorrow.
The gas tax holiday is nothing but a big give away to the oil companies. The consumer will get little or nothing and fuel prices more than likely will rise as a result.
My vote is for Obama.
Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America
is and will face very critical "Challenges" in coming,
months, years, and decades. It is very essential that
we pick out next President on following criteria.
1. A candidate with "Vision and Statesmanship".
2. A candidate with " Stable Character and Morality" .
3. A candidate with "Presidential Temperament" and
"sound Judgment".
4. A candidate with "little Washington exposure" and
"connectedness with New voters".
5. A candidate who "Inspires us up" rather than
"Tears
us down".
In my professional opinion there is only one candidate
left, who bears all the above qualities aand that is
Honorable Senator Obama.
I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President. let
us not get dragged down into racism and sexism.
Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of
family, fellowships, friends, faith, funds, fun,
future with fairness and freedom and without fear or
favor.
We can not afford to lose any of above. Let us stand
up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand Nation for
centuries to come.
God Bless our Great grandNation, its diverse people.
Our future needs stability, security, safety,
sustained progress and restoration of our due status
in this perilous Global World at all levels.

Krauthammer Revisits the ''Race'' Speech

The Barack Obama campaign is desperately hoping that most Americans are dumb hicks with the memory retention of soap dishes; because if they start to compare what he said in that Philadelphia %u201Crace%u201D speech last March with what he said last Tuesday, he%u2019s sunk: The %u2018Race%u2019 Speech Revisited.
%u201CI can no more disown him [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown my white grandmother.%u201D
%u2014 Barack Obama, Philadelphia, March 18
Guess it%u2019s time to disown Granny, if Obama%u2019s famous Philadelphia %u201Crace%u201D speech is to be believed
What do you know right now?
Is not the time to reconize "The Emperor''s New Clothes"
Is not the time to end this drama?
These same Republicans are conducting a subversive election ploy lead by Rush Limbaugh to disrupt the Democratic Presidential Primary. This tactic shows us that Republicans aren%u2019t very moral and the principles they stand for are seditious.
Are there reasons that Republicans can%u2019t seem to run off the results of their own actions?
Voters in Indiana and North Caroline, the country depends on you. Do the right thing and vote for Hillary.
HILLARY IS COMING ON STRONG...OBAMA IS FADING FAST.
HILLARY WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!
And for the Article: non-partisan on judges. This from the same party that said the dems could no longer fillibuster judged. Go To H-E-LL

- Chris Mathews was great tonight when he talked in contempt of the ditto heads of operation chaos, saying, "That all those that suffered and died for the right to vote now have to live with the embarrassmnt that is themselves."
