Mary Katherine Ham makes a great point about this Obama plagerizing story, which is getting a bit bigger today but I will get to that in a moment. First MKH:
[W]hat the story takes a whack at, effectively, is Obama’s authenticity, which is his No. 1 selling point. Hillary’s camp is smart to play up the fact that the supreme orator, the Messiah of American politics, the man of change above all else, could really just be another politician with a flair for speechifying, a calculating player with no compunction about inspiring with rehashed copy if it suits his purposes.
This incident will prompt much closer looks at Obama’s words from here on out, which will naturally be rougher than the positively orgasmic reviews he’s been getting up until now. This is good for Hillary and good for the GOP in the general if he ends up being the nominee.
Now if it was just the one incident between friends many could dismiss it all as one time thing. Not anymore: Read the rest of this entry »
Lanny Davis, a longtime Clinton supporter and Democrat, was on the John Gibson show today discussing the Hillary and Obama showdown and it was quite an informative discussion on the differences between the two candidates. Both of them are all wrong for this country but one of them has a few accomplishments to name. Accomplishments which she should be ashamed of but at least it is something for her to hang her hat on unlike Obama who has none, zero, zip.
John Bolton on why those who want to throw our country to the Democrats are espousing a view that is quite similiar to Lenin’s saying “worse is better”
Ahhhhh, the sound of those open minded liberals squawking once again: (h/t Newsbusters)
David Suzuki has called for political leaders to be thrown in jail for ignoring the science behind climate change.
At a Montreal conference last Thursday, the prominent scientist, broadcaster and Order of Canada recipient exhorted a packed house of 600 to hold politicians legally accountable for what he called an intergenerational crime. Though a spokesman said yesterday the call for imprisonment was not meant to be taken literally, Dr. Suzuki reportedly made similar remarks in an address at the University of Toronto last month.
Toward the end of his speech, Dr. Suzuki said that “we can no longer tolerate what’s going on in Ottawa and Edmonton” and then encouraged attendees to hold politicians to a greater green standard.
