Sen Obama Snubs Hillary Clinton at SOTU Speech...

In a blatent display of childishness at the state of the union speech, Senator Barack Obama refused to make himself available to greet Sen. Clinton. here is how the sequence of event unfolded, When members of the Senate entered the chamber, Obama came in before Clinton. He went out of his way to greet as many House members as possible and walked halfway across the chamber to greet members of the Supreme Court, the president's cabinet, the military joint chiefs.
That made what happened next even more striking. Obama returned to stand by his seat next to Sen. Edward Kennedy who endorsed Obama today in a widely watched event that reverberated across the political world.
As Clinton approached, Kennedy made sure to make eye contact and indicated he wanted to shake her hand. Clinton leaned towards Kennedy over a row of seats and Kennedy leaned in towards her. They shook hands.
Obama stood icily staring at Clinton during this, then turned his back and stepped a few feet away. Kennedy may've wanted to make peace with Clinton but Obama clearly wanted no part of that.

As president, Obama has said he would meet with the U.S.'s enemies without precondition. But making nice with Clinton apparently is another mattter after the increasingly angry fight the two have waged, with charges and countercharges, for the Democratic presidential nomination.

This again just show how petty senator Obama can be,He exhibited the same petulant behavior after the Nevada caucus when he lit out without congratulating Hillary and without even thanking his workers there.And, honestly, even if it wasn't a deliberate snub, I find it hard to believe a politician as talented as Obama didn't know that everyone would be watching him when Hillary approached to see his reaction. even if you don't like your oponent you don't turn your back on your rival when everyone is watching, it makes you look small and petty Not attractive and not the characteristic of a leader or a "uniter.he is the one always claiming to be to be the great uniter, the one who is supposed to be able to get everybody to play nice together, he is showing his true colors,It is petty, childish and frankly immature and it shows Obama's lack of diplomacy to put it delicately.

John Gibson of Fox noise have done it again...

Fox News host John Gibson opened his radio show on Wednesday by mocking the tragic death of 28-year-old Australian actor Heath Ledger. The actor was found dead Tuesday in his Manhattan apartment, facedown at the foot of his bed with prescription sleeping pills nearby, police said.
At the opening of his program, Gibson led in with funeral music behind audio clips from the Oscar-nominated film Brokeback Mountain, in which Ledger played a gay cowboy. After the final clip—featuring the quote by co-star Jake Gyllenhaal, “I wish I knew how to quit you." Gibson said, “Well, he found out how to quit you. Gibson mocked the actor again when he played another clip from the Brokeback Mountain, in which Ledger said, “We’re dead.” Faking a country accent, Gibson repeated "we're dead" and then played the clip again.Beyond his mockery of Ledger’s role in Brokeback Mountain, Gibson called the actor a "weirdo" with "a serious drug problem.

Heath Ledger(1979-2008)
Rest in peace.

Here is the full audio clip of John Gibson mocking the actor.



Even if John Gibson and fox news did not like the fact that Ledger played a gay cowboy on the silver screen, at least they should have the decency to respect him in death.his comment was rude, cruel, and insensitive and frankly hurtful to some us who are big fans of the actor.exploiting Ledger’s tragic death to promote his hatred for gays at a time when family and friends are grieving shows a level of cruelty that is beyond comprehension.He is really a sorry excuse for a news man, shame on you, and your Fox noise network.

More fire at Dems debate......

An old African proverb say do not stay in the waters and tease the sharks, how true that was at last night democratic debate in south Carolina. Sen Obama came, it seems to me ready to rumble, and Sen Clinton give him what he wanted. The confrontation between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama became more heated at monday's debate when each attempted to undermine the credibility of the other's stand on social issues. As the host tried to move on with voters' top concerns including economic stimulus package, housing crisis, healthcare and the Iraq issue, the debate was frequently dragged to heated clashes and charges among candidates. "There was a set of assertions made by Senator Clinton as well as her husband that are not factually accurate," Obama said. "Think that part of what people are looking for right now is someone who is going to solve problems and not resort to the same typical politics that we've seen in Washington." In response, Clinton insisted "your record and what you say should matter.

After trying to start a fight it was announced by the Obama campaign that they will be forming a truth squad to counter the false statement from the Clinton campaign. Sen Obama to me has done more harm to the the democratic party, by splitting the party along racial line, and this is going to be hard to recover from.

Clinton and Obama clash over race and civil rights movement.......

Bob Johnson, the nation's first black billionaire and founder of the BET cable television network, and One of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most prominent black supporters said Sunday he was insulted by the characterization by rival Barack Obama's presidential campaign of her remarks about the civil rights movement.While introducing Clinton at Columbia College on Sunday, Johnson criticized Obama's camp. he said Obama's campaign had acted dishonestly and had distorted Clinton's remarks about Martin Luther King Jr.

Clinton was quoted just before the New Hampshire primary as saying King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Some black leaders have criticized senator Clinton's remark as suggesting Johnson deserved more credit than the slain civil rights leader for the passage and enactment of major civil rights legislation.

Johnson also said Obama's own record should give voters pause.
"To me, as an African American, I am frankly insulted the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues - when Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood; I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in his book - when they have been involved," To say these two people would denigrate the accomplishments of civil rights marchers, who bled and some died, and to expect us to now say they are attacking a black man? I mean, that kind of campaign behavior does not resonate with me, for a guy who says I want to be reasonable. Johnson said.

I don't in any way see how this will help Senator Obama in the long run, if he continues to use the race card like he is doing now, it will hurt him especially with the white vote down the road.

it seems to me that this is clearly a black candidate using race as a way to inflame passion to get more black vote by intellectually dishonest means. it’s clear that Senator Clinton’s remarks were simply pointing out that the blood, sweat, tears, and grassroots movement of Dr. King required political allies to help effect the change. To dispute or spin that in any way is utterly dishonest.

Hillary wins New Hampshire...............

After Iowa's bitter defeat last week, Clinton and her aides seemed resigned to a second straight setback. But polling place interviews showed that female voters — who deserted her last week — returned to her column in New Hampshire . and i could not have more more happier, i lept for joy when i heard the news, "I come tonight with a very full heart and I want especially to thank New Hampshire," she told a jubliant crowd at her campaign headquarters in Manchester. "Over the last week I listened to you, and in the process I found my own voice. "I felt like we all spoke from our hearts and I am so gratified that you responded," Clinton said in victory remarks before cheering supporters. "Now together, let's give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me. with all the odds against her, Hillary won New Hampshire's Democratic primary, pulling out a stunning victory over Sen. Barack Obama in a contest that she had been forecast to lose. she like her husband before her, is truly the come back kid tonight.
