Campaign Notes

It's no surprise Ret. Gen. Colin Powell has endorsed Obama. This was in the works for a long time.

Marc Rubin cuts through the bullshit with this great post. It shouldn't surprise ANYBODY someone like Obama would get the support of Powell:

To be endorsed by the Secretary of State who served, up till this point, the most unqualified and disastrous President in history, and the man who made the most dishonest, erroneous, and fact-less case for war in American history, a case that was rejected by every country except the UK, is an endorsement of nothing the country needs or wants. In fact as everything else that relates to Obama it represents the opposite of everything the country wants and why, when it comes to real change, there is the need to go forward without Obama, who, when it comes to incompetence and lack of qualification to be President, represents more of what we've had to endure the last 8 years with Bush.

So given Obama's embrace of Bush policies when it becomes politically convenient for him to do so, and now an endorsement by the man who made Bush's case for war in Iraq as to Obama's judgement and qualifications, this election is becoming, as Alice would say, curiouser and curiouser. Maybe Alice Palmer would say that too. Because in many cases Obama is the most Republican Democrat that has ever run. And certainly the most unqualified. Which is why Obama supporters would best be described as Obamacans.


Is it any wonder many Democrats like myself have doubts about the Messiah of Hyde Park's real political loyalties?

So-called Democrat Obama continues to raise obscene amounts of cash, yet he is still basically statistically tied with McCain. There is something wrong with this picture.
