Obama now riding on Oprah's mother's coattails
Sure would have been nice to hear a little about the other Democratic candidate in the race besides Barack Obama. What does it say about him that even with nearly all press outlets in the United States doubling as Obama campaign satellite offices, that he still has to drag out his endorsement from Oprah Winfrey's mother to get votes? (Incidentally, Oprah just gave away a million free copies of a Suze Orman book online - interesting timing...)
Besides that, the G.O.P. has been organizing massive crossover campaigns of Republicans voting in Democratic primaries to keep him neck and neck with Clinton. (Wisconsin is an open primary so he should win big tomorrow.) He's got the brother of Fox News VP David Rhodes writing his speeches. And he's got Karl Rove's dirty tricks apparatus (including bogus polling outfits) churning out Hillary-demise and Hillary-hatred round the clock ("the voters don't like her", "she's so polarizing", "Bill's out of control", etc. etc.) And not a single former democratic presidential candidate in the last eight years has come out and endorsed Clinton, even though they all know Barack spent one year in the U.S. Senate before launching his presidential campaign, and how absurd is that? For more on the Rove strategy and and Obama controversies that are not being reported, please see the article I've posted at thecityedition.com or click on the screen name below.
