Jon Favreau isn't Obama's only speechwriter--he, like Clinton, has an entire team.
However, he does fine solo as when he wrote his two best selling books without a ghost writer.
Clinton used a ghost writer for all of her books, and for It Takes a Village was criticised for not properly giving credit to her ghost writer.
Just sayin'.
When Hillary Clinton, was in Los Angeles last Saturday I was able to hear her speak at Cal State LA. I took a video of the event and placed it on, You Tube.
Senator Clintons talk only reaffirmed why she should be our next President!
I really feel the news media did a major disservice to the Democratic Primary by all of the negative press they pored on Senator Clinton. I found it amazing to hear night after the same negativity against Senator Clinton. Dear God, it was relentless Hardball, Wolf Blitzer, Scarbourl these are only a few.
I also found it disgusting how the Kennedy's whom I always admired came out with such force, let me be specific, Ted, Caroline, Ethel, Rory, Maria Shriver amazing, it really was!
I found it the most uplifting of moments when Ma. went for Senator Clinton. Sweet, sweet, moment!
Now regarding Senator Obam he has not been vetted and there is the matter of a trial starting the beginning of March, a very important trial. Obama was friends of Mr. REzko for nearly twenty years. he benefited greatly from this friendship, Money, helped with the financing of his 1.6 million dollar home. Obama wrote about 15 letters to various Illinois agency's helping Rezko get funding for Rezko's Slum properties. This money went into Rezko pocket and not into the properties, so they remained slum properties. Where was Obama, didn't he even check these properties to see if they were being managed properly. Obama won't talk.
Let me tell you if he is the Presidential contender come November, the Republicans won't hesitate to ask the questions.
This will be the Republicans Swift boating of our chance to take back the White House , in 2008 and you know they will use it.To be honest I want to understand that relationship and I don't care who brings it up!!
I was a fervent Obama supporters. But yesterday in NYC, I casted my vote for Hillary.
My vote was a protest vote against mainstream media's evident bias towards Clintons. Based on my eyes and ears, they have received ongoing beating from mainstream media while Obama, the darling of the mainstream media, has simply given a free ride or been praised so highly that he can do no wrong.
This doesn't sit well with my sense of fairness.
As long as the mainstream media and Clinton haters keep violating my sense of fairness, I will keep defending and supporting Clintons.
Obama should be done by now. That was the Clintons strategy from the start. Anyone paying attention knows that. At this point in the race she is out of money and out of racists,I mean, latinos. Better start crying earlier next time.
Brazilian,
Nobody is spinning. It is you who is spinning.
It wasn't I who brought up the snub in this thread. It was you, apparently feeling vanquished in the previous thread, you now resort to Anonymous. But that is not what gives you a bad name. Your problem is that you lack reading comprehension of the very link that you posted. Nowhere in that link does it say that Hillary Clinton refused to shake hands with Obama in a public sphere. Maybe you should read the entire article, including the correction appended at the end.
My original discussion on Obama and the SOTU snub outlined how that sort of lack of manners toward an older woman and former first lady could actually politically hurt him in the South and Southwest among voters who take manners seriously.
Now I shall respond no further to you since you are not on topic in this thread and since you continue to bait me as an anonymous poster.
It's been interesting to read how little pundits have been talking about the Plains states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. States like Oklahoma and Missouri are almost *Southern* but without a large African American population.
It was fascinating to see Kansas go overwhelmingly for Obama while its neighbor to the South, Oklahoma, went overwhelmingly for Clinton. The two states share so much; yet no two bordering states have this wide a disparity.
The history of race relations in these two states seems to trump issues of gender here.
As a Native Oklahoman, I am convinced Oklahoma's difficult racial history affects the state's ability to *see* Obama as a legitimate contender.
I actually write about this in my post yesterday on The Weekly Rader: http://weeklyrader.blogspot.com/2008/02/reading-plains-close-look-at-oklahoma.html
a super feeling after super tuesday!
a competitive race (albiet too influenced by race right now - i hope this too passes the way of the idea that any candidate would be cornated this early. i guess howard dean was right again). with candidates on both sides dedicated to public service in the best sense of the word. i say the party has started for all of us, and promises to end well.
great stuff!
including record veiwership of a televised debate (right up there with Law and Order SVU - go figure)? i guess the idea that voters prefer candidates whose positions can be packaged into 30 second commercials is a mistaken notion. its seems voters, when given the chance to be informed by substantive debates, say "yes we can!"
ideally our demonstration of the depth of our ability to pay attention will be rewarded with increasingly substantive debates, in increasingly interactive formats, that promote real discussions of leadership and policy stances, all, punctuated by comparisons of results, positions, and ideas, past, present, and future.
the cherry on top; that exchanges to come, will take place in a manner that exemplifies mutual respect, with recognition of the imporatance of being willing to engage as many folks as possible in the excitement of the political process.
now if hillary has a plans that sound like this… …thas my kinda party!
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
