So You're Thinking About Voting for McCain Ay?

As much as I am a partisan for Barack Obama I am in no way disilluioned about a choice between Clinton v. McCain.

This has probably been discussed before and we should remind ourselves of this over and over again.  Here is why Hillary supporters MUST vote for Obama if he is the nominee and Obama supporters MUST vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.

Obama: Intellectual Heavy Weight for President

So is he a Senior Lecturer? Professor (large P) or professor (small p)?  Here's my take, when I went through college and graduate.  I always referred to whomever taught my classes as "professor." I never referred to anyone as "Lecturer Obama."  These finer points about his actual title is really for division of labor and disbursement of benefits purposes with university administrators.  Furthermore, If University of Chicago considers him a professor then that is the FINAL word.
Lost in this silly controversy, however, is the fact that Obama is quite the intellectual HEAVYWEIGHT!  Given that the Bush Administration has continuously raped and pillaged the U.S. Constitution for the last eight years, I find it comforting that we have a Constitutional Law professor (small p) running for president.
If the very presitigious University of Chicago Law School (a Top 10 law school) has given him several offers over the years of full tenure-track professorships, that says ALOT about Obama.
Also...having been through law school myself I can tell you that Constitutional Law classes are usually reserved for higher profile tenured professors.  It's interesting that an elite law school allowed him to teach Con-Law back in the mid `90s when he was still relatively an inexperienced lawyer fresh out of school.  Being President of the Harvard Law Review probably had alot to do with that.
Having read his books and listened to the speeches he mostly writes, and given who we have as our president right now, I find very comforting that someone of his intellectual capacity has a better then even shot at making it to the White House. NOW THAT's CHANGE!

Terrorist Attacks During the Clinton Years!

So she wants to take credit for her husband's administration.  She wants to take credit for any foreign policy achievements during the Clinton years, she wants to claim the national security mantle, and she claims to be fully vetted.  She claims there are no more SURPRISES in her and her husband's background.  That remains to be seen!!

But who says all the other baggage we know about can't be effectively re-used, re-hashed and re-manipulated for political advantage?

I can just see the Rethugs coming out with a commercial (visuals and all) outlining a string of terrorist bombings that effected U.S. interests, property and persons during Bill Clinton's administration.  Shall we list a few here:

1993 - The first World Trade Center bombing
1995 - Attempted crashing of plane on White House
1995 - Oklahoma City bombing
1996 - Khobar Towers bombing - Saudi Arabia
1998 - U.S. Embassy bombings Kenya/Tanzania
2000 - USS Cole Bombing - Yemen

With Hillary as the nominee...it's going to be UGLY!

The "Change We Can Xerox" Debacle

We wouldn't know it from reading the comments from HRC's choir on this blog, but it is turning out that the media narative give just as equal amount of attention to Hillary's awful and poorly delivered quote attacking Obama.

MY CONFESSON: I Plagiarized Bill Clinton

Here is the story...

HILLARY CAUGHT PLAGIARIZING!

This topic was posted by Iconoclast Cat on Daily Kos but thought I'd help spread the word by putting here as well to get the word out.

Here is a link to Mark Halperin of Time with the Obama press release citing examples of Hillary stealing lines from Barack Obama.  But unlike Barack, Hillary never got permission to use these lines.
