Obama Pulls Ahead; Deaths Mount in Iraq
As the first website below indicates, the past few days have brought Obama more or less even with Clinton in PA — and double digit ahead nationally with Democrats. One anticipates that this race will soon be over and the big one will begin. I assume that without some major gaff, Obama should be able to beat McCain simply by treating him with respect as a person while demonstrating the nonsense of his positions, if you can really identify much in the way of a stable set of them with this changeable guy.

The sad news lies with the next website which shows an uptick in deaths and wounding in Iraq this month. The word that the al-Sadr is being goaded into ending his truce is not good news. One cannot conceive of a breakdown in his truce which will not entail a brutal series of slaughters of all involved and even more Iraqi disenchantment with our occupation of their country.

Iraqi Army Takes Last Basra Areas From Sadr Force
By JAMES GLANZ and ALISSA J. RUBIN
Despite the apparent concession of Basra, the cleric
Moktada al-Sadr threatened to declare “war until
liberation” if fighting against his Mahdi Army militia
continued.

As a personal footnote I would add that our Democratic family is more or less in accord on the policies, domestic and foreign, that need to be implemented by a new president, as are the Democratic candidates. We are, however, sharply divided along gender lines as to whether that president should be Clinton or Obama. We shall have some personal healing to do when the choice is resolved, as will Democrats at large who have been passionately backing one or another of the candidates.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI now declare Mrs. Clinton dangerous for America’s interests. She is laughing stock abroad and has too many favors to return.
How can I trust someone who promises anything to anyone and manages to avoid debates on issues by focusing endlessly on pins, “bitter”, “elitist”, Rev. Wright, … At least Sen. Obama had the decency to not mention Peter Paul, pardons for a fee, financial “support” from powerful foreign “friends”, Whitewater, …
PA: save the Democratic Party, vote Obama or, if you do not wish to do so, abstain.
Role Model for Children – Obama
A few days ago Obama gave the ‘finger’ to Hillary on national television and smugly laughed about it with his audience. Is this type of malicious immaturity what you want your children to learn: lack of tolerance, vengeance and the bully mentality? After that one event, besides the mindless and uneducated, how could anyone seriously consider this Obama for any office?
Also, Obama’s state-senate candidacy was launched at Weather Underground bombers Ayers house in 1995. Ayers who advocates the violent destruction of America may have much more to do with promoting Obama than we know. The organization MoveOn has aggressively intimidated delegates to vote for Obama and to shun Hillary and is likely closely connected with Ayers. Ayers finally got his bomb – Obama.
Obama also rigged his election to become senator by unfairly disqualifying his opponents. He did this by meticulously finding fault with each of the other candidates signed petitions until each of the contenders had to drop out, Obama was the last one standing, there was no election. This was another finger gesture towards the American public by Obama.
If this isn’t enough, look at Obama’s affiliations:
Wright
Meeks
Ayers
Abongo “Roy” Obama
Rashid Khalidi
Robert Malley
Hamas
McPeaks
Rezko
Auchi
And the list goes on…
This may be the time of the Anti-Christ, but do you want to be on the list of people who voted for him?
