Ludacris/Obama
I just read this on Tapped...

Ta-Nehisi Coates titles a post "Ludacris attempts to make Hip-hop more irrelevant" but it's hard to see how it's ever been more relevant. Nas is protesting FOX News on behalf of MoveOn, Ludacris gets a personal chin check from Bill Burton and when and Obama's choice to listen to Jay-Z's Black Album is an issue of "serious" political importance.

So while we're here ... did any other random black people who like Barack Obama say something that offended you today? If so, you should call Bill Burton so he can issue a denunciation. I hear that one of the goals of the transition team is plans for a new federal agency that will deal exclusively with issuing apologies on behalf of Barack Obama for anything black people do that offends you.

Don't ever forget, Obama's Mama is dead. No other conclusions can be drawn.

134 Forrestal sailors are dead and are all connected to McGrampa.

August 1967 list of casualties

The US Navy would never cover up something like that.

It's not like the McCain Admirals weren't influential now were they.

In new polls, Obama leads in FL, PA, and OH.

Hmmmm....that didn't take long.

Jobs, energy, healthcare, education, the environment, Social Security, infrastructure, housing...gee...is there ANY mainstream issue that the GOP is on the correct side about???

They are good at creating fear, hate, and foreign and domestic terrorists.

Gallup: 30% of Democrats Say they’ll Vote for McCain

Quinnipiac: Obama’s lead in swing states continues to shrink

Gallup: Nearly Half of U.S. Adults Now Applaud the Iraq Surge

Bureau Of Economic Advisors: Still no recession

The bloom is off the rose.

The trend is not his friend.

Paris?.... jail. Britney?....insane. Shit happens.

According to a post over at Kos, relying on an article at Business Week, McCain's campaign had an ad ready to go if Sen. Obama did visit the injured troops in Germany. It was going to say that Sen. Obama used the troops for political reasons.

They were going after him no matter what decision he made.

Biggest quarterly profit in US history http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ but the 2 dishonest and corrupt oil men in the White House would have you believe the Democrats not allowing drilling in ANWAR is why we are paying $4 at the pump!

this is something the obama campaign needs to be wary of. of course, the reliance on polling has reached a level of absurdity.

and, you forgot to include some of the "results"... in regards to the "surge" (see, escalation):

Bottom Line
In what could be Gallup's final assessment of the U.S. troop surge in Iraq that started in 2007 and ended earlier this month,
Americans credit the surge with bringing about some progress in Iraq -- but not enough to convince them that the war is
going well for the United States, or that sending troops there initially was the right course of action.
(from the gallup link you provided)

not to mention how silly and predictable the recession link is...

lots of smoke dennis, no fire though

I guess the spineless dems have subscribed to the broken government ideology.

But, princess, you love your polls...Americans believe there is a recession. But, glad to see though you picked up on the latest White House/Faux "news" talking points that the economy "trend" is so "bloomy" and "rosie". We wouldn't have expected anything less, princess.

From Roanoke Times:

(July 31) Questions linger in death of Webb aide

Investigators were still working to determine whether foul play or suicide was involved.

Authorities investigated the mysteries surrounding the death of U.S. Senate aide Fred Hutchins on Wednesday, a day after his body was found beside his sport utility vehicle on U.S. 220 near Fincastle.
..
A handgun was found beneath Hutchins' body early Tuesday, but law enforcement officials said they still weren't able to conclude whether the incident was a suicide or the result of foul play. Hutchins' body was discovered by a sheriff's deputy just after 7 a.m. Tuesday on the shoulder of the southbound lane of U.S. 220. Hutchins' vehicle was pointed south. Authorities have confirmed that he had a gunshot wound to the head.
..

(July 29) Webb staff aide Hutchins is found shot dead

..
Fred Hutchins grew up off Read Mountain Road and was heavily influenced by his grandfather Guy Slusher, a die-hard Democrat and railroad union man. By grade school, Hutchins was watching C-SPAN, and by age 12 he was already working phones and going door-to-door for candidates.

"It's hard to believe, but Freddie Hutchins at age 26 was a grizzled veteran of politics," said Dave "Mudcat" Saunders, a Roanoke political consultant who was a close friend and mentor of Hutchins'.

But though he may have been seasoned, Hutchins avoided the cynicism that often accompanies political experience. During his 14 years working as a Democratic Party operative in local, state and national elections, friends say he remained enthusiastic about his job and showed passionate loyalty to those for whom he worked.

Saunders said that last year he even offered Hutchins a higher-profile job paying more money, working as the deputy senior strategist for rural affairs for presidential candidate John Edwards of North Carolina.

"A deputy senior strategist at age 25? That's stuff Harvard kids dream about," Saunders said.

Hutchins, however, turned him down, opting instead to stay with the freshman senator.

"He had absolute loyalty to Jim Webb," Saunders said.
..

So we've got a choice in this election. We can either choose a new direction, or we can keep on doing the same things we’ve been doing. Now my opponent, John McCain, thinks that we’re basically on the right track. [Boos from audience.] He does. He’s said our economy has made great progress in the last eight years. [Laughter.] He’s embraced the Bush economic policies and promises to continue them. Same policies as George Bush -- he wants to continue the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, and he wants to put another $300 billion in tax cuts on the table for corporations. [Audience member yells: "why not small businesses?"] Well, why not small busineses? Because he thinks it's okay the way things are going right now. Let me tell you, we can't afford to keep on doing more of the same and that's why I'm running for President of the United States of America. [Standing ovation.]

Samson- @ 17:

obama has a chance to really repair some frayed relations with the left.

he has given support, pre-campaign season, to the people of ecuador in their fight against chevron. the Ecuador-Chevron dispute is an abomination--in a sane world there would be NO dispute, chevron would have to pay for causing cancer and birth defects in their effort to cut costs, skirt environmental laws and live up to their evil-incarnate reputation.

i think obama's vocal and unflinching support, again, for the people of ecuador, and the ecuadorian justice system would do a lot--at least for me.

and, really, it would be difficult for obama's detractors to make political hay out of obama's support for justice. you put poor, cancer-ridden, peasants on one side and chevron (condi rice's chevron) on the other and you see where the majority of support goes.

please senator obama, make the fight against corporate crimes and support human rights a main aspect of your campaign. you might find that it is also a very winning issue--especially with the amount of grass root support you already have.

Princess and the reich-wing obsess over Britney and what a single poll says, that's why they'll lose the White House, Senate, and House this year

Obama 292 McCain 195 Ties 51
Senate Dem 57 GOP 43
House Dem 240 GOP 195

i think i missed something... what is this britney nonsense about?

Not really a Dr. Hussein Matt @ 29:

Obama is hitting 50% in the polls now....according to Democracy Now (D).... cough, cough.

The bloom is off the rose.

The trend is not Obama's friend.

Gallup Daily tracking poll: Crumble- Obama's lead now down to just a single point

E. coli conservatism strikes again!
