Fox Ambushes Bill Moyers

At the National Conference for Media Reform 2008. Fox personality Bill O'Reilly producer, Porter Barry ambushes PBS Bill Moyers to pepper him with questions regarding his political affiliations and his "refusal" to appear on O'Reily's show. Moyers disputes Fox's "facts."

Biggest political rally in History!

There are very little comparisons to be made here. A report of 75,000 in Oregon rally for Obama. This is a record. The closest in contemporary memory is FDR. But he didn't attract such crowds until he was an incumbent. This is a first and a record for a first time candidacy for the presidency. Check out the arial shots of this crowd!

Hillary endorses Obama

"We need to help elect Barack Obama our president."

Hillary talks unity

A letter from Hillary to her supporters:

I wanted you to be one of the first to know: on Saturday, I will hold
an event in Washington D.C. to thank everyone who has supported my
campaign. Over the course of the last 16 months, I have been privileged
and touched to witness the incredible dedication and sacrifice of so many people working for our campaign.

Every minute you put into helping us win, every dollar you gave to
keep up the fight meant more to me than I can ever possibly tell you.

On Saturday, I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my
support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought
campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama
are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and
the Republicans.

I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support
Senator Obama if he were the Democratic Party's nominee, and I intend
to deliver on that promise.

When I decided to run for president, I knew exactly why I was getting
into this race: to work hard every day for the millions of Americans
who need a voice in the White House.

I made you -- and everyone who supported me -- a promise: to stand up
for our shared values and to never back down. I'm going to keep that
promise today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life.

I will be speaking on Saturday about how together we can rally the
party behind Senator Obama. The stakes are too high and the task before
us too important to do otherwise.

I know as I continue my lifelong work for a stronger America and a
better world, I will turn to you for the support, the strength, and the
commitment that you have shown me in the past 16 months. And I will
always keep faith with the issues and causes that are important to you.


In the past few days, you have shown that support once again with
hundreds of thousands of messages to the campaign, and again, I am
touched by your thoughtfulness and kindness.

I can never possibly express my gratitude, so let me say simply, thank
you.

Sincerely,
Hillary

The Journey

Obama declares victory

"Let us begin a new journey"

Iraq's children 'among the most miserable in the world'

The Iraqi Women's League has started a new campaign demanding that Iraq's government and parliament take action to protect Iraq's children.

The danger which threatens Iraq's childhood, in its present and future, has become greater than ever before. The devastation inflicted on children by the wars and militarization of society by the dictatorship, was further aggravated by occupation. As a result of war and terrorism, in addition to the intensified struggle among the forces fighting over power and wealth, the suffering of children has been exacerbated on all levels. ...

Poverty has forced families to make their children leave school and seek food in waste dumps, work as street vendors or turn into beggars. Children toiling to earn a living has become a commonplace scene in the streets of Iraq. Under these tragic conditions, children are subjected to murder, kidnapping and rape, in addition to being exploited in acts of terrorism. ...

400 children become orphans every day ...

The overall tragic situation of children in Iraq makes them among the most miserable children in the world. ...

And an Iraqi writer in Baghdad reports:

Recent statistics ... reveal that the number of orphaned Iraqi children has reached 4-5 million and that there are some 500,000 street children. ...

A further study conducted for the UNDP [United Nations Development Program] by the Fafo Institute for Applied Social Science, found that “acute malnutrition among Iraqi children has almost doubled since the US invasion despite UN efforts.” The study based on a survey of 22,000 Iraqi homes said that approximately 400,000 Iraqi children now suffer from malnutrition and said that acute malnutrition has increased to 7.7 percent since March 2003 for those aged between six months and five years.

The horrible legacy of the war based on lies.

McCarthy Light

Here is a blog called No-Bama. This person has posted a long list of links "showing" Obama's communist and socialist history.

Obama's Communist and Socialist Roots

I actually read a post on a news site yesterday that stated, "Obama takes his marching orders from the CPUSA!"

Enjoy for an easy laugh.
