(read the New York Times piece here)
Much of Obama's popularity was built on his stance against the Iraq war and his timetable for withdrawal.
I imagine his detractors will be...

From politico.com comes the story of two Muslims who were banned from sitting with Obama during photos or television interviews so their headscarves wouldn't appear in the pictures.

Most of us have friends, but where those friends are found, and who those friends are can sometimes come back to haunt us. I like Obama, as a person, though he and I don't share political views, and I don't think his ideology is not as extreme as some of the friends he's...

I do not like Hillary Clinton. I disagree with 99.99% of everything that falls from her megalomaniac driven piehole. I believe she is a socialist who would like to see everyone(with the exception of her and her family)in America in the same boat. Her ideas genuinely frighten me as do most short...

Question: Is it Democratic?
Look, all the states vote to pick delegates at your Nat. Convention presumably to pick the best Democratic candidate and then out of the 4000 or so have about 800 of those delegates to be picked by the party. How is that Democratic?

Barack Obama had Rev. Jeremiah Wright marry him and been his spiritual advisor for years. He consulted him before his Presidential run and also relied on him for his state runs.

Bill/Hill vs. Barack.
It's been the chatter of cable news the past two days, that they're trading swipes etc.
TV pundits have focused on whether it's been good or bad for (the) Clinton(s) to go negative.
Certainly they're savvy enough to have accounted for an ugliness backlash.
Is the shift...
