Hi everyone! The blog has been updated with the June 14th *morning* news content.

For those who don't know, my name is Cris and I'm a Cuban-American who supports Barack Obama.

I run a blog that compiles pretty much every major news article and commentary that comes out each day about Senator Obama. My hope is that it's a useful tool for those who want to keep up with everything going on in the campaign.

I hope this is helpful to everyone.

HI Chris!

And please add this link which clearly shows that Sen. Obama's tax plan will actually give more tax relief to those who need it most than Sen. McCain's. The Republicans cannot continue to spread the lie that Sen. Obama's plan is the largest tax increase in history and won't benefit the middle class. That is EXACTLY who it will benefit... unlike McCain's plan which is most generous to the top 0.1 % of income earners in this country!

I just saw this on CNN Politics. I was living in Texas when that happened and EVERYBODY knew about it. It was a major scandal and I don't know how McCain could have missed it! And oh, yes, women were horribly offended and yes, he was soundly defeated by Ann Richards.

Perhaps someone on here who has access to Hillary's website could post the link? Please? I want ALL our sisters to know who McCain rubs elbows with. I know they (some of our Democratic sisters) are disappointed, but McCain is just not an option. Maybe McCain's site needs a link as well... heck share it with every woman you know.

This wasn't funny when he said it and it isn't funny now. Some voters weren't even born yet, so please spread the word. Those folks don't respect women and are not likely to represent us well. If indeed they represent us at all.

Re: Please share | Report to Admin

Greg-- for myself, I am uncertain which is worse --

a) Senator McCain doesn't employ anyone who can do a simple google search (I am an internet beginner and I can google search); or,

b) Senator McCain does employ someone who can do a google search, found out this information and did NOT care.

As a woman, the second seems worse, but as an American the first is truly unimaginable -- a President who does not even bother to hire someone who can google search?

where are all the questions about McCain's mental state... someone really needs to ask this question. My Nephew returned home from Iraq two months ago and I can tell you that he is not the same kid that left a yr ago. This should be spoken of since Mccain DID NOT VOTE IN FAVOR of the GI bill. WHAT IS McCain's mental state??? P.O.W,yes. What has he actually done before joing the military? Did he ever hold a real job because if he has NOT,then how can he relate to the condition of the economy????

Re: Gets OUR PEOPLE HOME>>>>> | Report to Admin

By Grandmama4Obama Jun 14th 2008 at 7:00 pm EDT

He was educated in a military academy and had a military career before entering politics. He has not studied law, unlike Barack, who is a constitutional scholar and lecturer. And, I think, that explains a lot about his (McCain's) tirade over this week's Supreme Court decision. I believe that Barack will respect and defend the Constitution, not try to twist and modify it to suit his personal preferences. The difference is mind-boggling!

As far as I know, he has never had a job other than being in the military or in government. I believe he went straight from college into the military and straight from the military into the House of Representatives and from there into the Senate. My opinion is that his famous bad temper is a symptom of mental instability as it has been displayed so frequently and inappropriately.

Re: Gets OUR PEOPLE HOME>>>>> | Report to Admin

By ★Holly♐HH Honored to Have Helped with This Historic Campaign! ★ Eugene Jun 14th 2008 at 7:53 pm EDT

I disagree with some of this line of thinking here. I dislike the implication that because he is a veteran his mental health is suspect. Tons of his medical records have been released and my understanding is there is NO support for this inference. As far as his health goes, the skin cancer is a much more meaningful issue, I believe.

Apparently (according to Wikipedia, Link ) McCain has always had a hot temper, even as a child. Rather than a sign of instability, I think it is a very stable aspect of his personality. There is nothing abnormal about having a temper.

Not having firm control over one's temper, however, can definitely be a problem in life and in the presidency. That's a different issue, and I definitely think Barack's cooler and calmer temperament is an asset compared to McCain's "hotter" temperament.

No, Gore has not endorsed Barack. It is my understanding that the two men have had an ongoing dialogue throughout the primary season.

But I cannot see Al Gore, who already served 8 years as VP, who won the presidency in his own right in 2000 (although he was not allowed to assume office) consenting to run for VP again. Perhaps, some know something I do not, but for me the idea just will not fly.

What I don't understand is what do they want? None of them has offered any plans that would be better than BO has proposed. Our country is in a huge mess caused the lack of plan of any kind for the last 8 years. At least he's honestly confronting the issue!

Anytime I hear anybody repeat these canned lines I will challenge them to offer something better!

After watching so many reruns of Tim Russert today, it's tough to watch the clowns on CNN. They all look uninformed, phony, and ridiculously biased. It's too bad that those in the news business aren't taking note of the fact that Tim Russert was loved because he possessed so many of the qualities that these people lack. He was smart but humble, hard working but his family was his top priority, and a great interviewer but also a great listener.

HEAR, HEAR!

Unfortunately, there is no one on the horizon who has Tim's qualities. Tim could pursue the truth with fairness and without becoming disagreeable. He asked the really tough questions, yet I've never seen him "attack". He was always pleasant and at the end of the interview he was smiling.

I think the Obama Nation should anytime it is dealing with the MSM, we should challenge them to do the right thing and get the truth out there like Tim Russert did. Maybe they will start doing a better job. Hopeful thinking anyway. After all we are HOPEFUL!!

These ridiculous slurs against McCain have really got to stop. They have no place on a website devoted to a new kind of politics and are an insult to everything Obama stands for.

Re: Old MaCcain. | Report to Admin

By ★Holly♐HH Honored to Have Helped with This Historic Campaign! ★ Eugene Jun 14th 2008 at 8:02 pm EDT

I agree. If we don't like the politics of smears we shouldn't engage in it. Period.

There are plenty of policy issues to talk about between McCain and Obama.

Re: Old MaCcain. | Report to Admin

By Nashfan for Obama in Phoenix, who has had "ENOUGH!" Jun 14th 2008 at 8:32 pm EDT

I agree. We can criticize McCain's views/policies on issues, but it is totally uncalled for to write these demeaning things about his age, mental ability, etc. Barack has always taken a high road. He wants to run a clean campaign. Please help him do that.

Re: Old MaCcain. | Report to Admin

By stroud00 Jun 14th 2008 at 8:42 pm EDT

I agree. That kind of disrespectful talk is rude and crude. And I do not want others to come here and be able to read it. We have to follow Barack's lead in promoting a new kind of politics that is issue-oriented and does not resort to the old politics of personal destruction.

While some folks might find that funny, I have to say I did not. But then right now, I am still feeling low about Mr. Russert's passing.

Jordan -- when you have a moment, could you set up a little profile? It helps us get to know you. It doesn't have to be bunch. When I first came here I had no idea what it even was. At the top of this screen, you'll see My Dashboard, you just click on that, and then go from there.

Of course it is !

All the Europeans leaders, as for an example, are in their 50's, with ministers in their 30's.

What he hell is grandpa doing upon the pictue.
He is totally disconnected.

Barack fits, and you know how much we are wainting for him.

On top, may I add, he is extremely handsome, and brilliant, and smart, and charismatic, and compassionate, and a regular guy who made his way up by himself, and........everything we dream for you and for us.

TIM RUSSERT!! | Report to Admin

By Doreen D IOWA Jun 14th 2008 at 7:43 pm EDT

I am just signing on after the death of Tim Russert, I know many of you were sadden, I am as well, I had a lot of respect for Tim, just a week ago, I pointed him out to my 21, and 22 year old, and told them he was a very respected man in the news I love how he approach everything, its him, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rathers, and Brian Williams who are the most honest people in the business. When Tim has something to say everyone listens. I remember the night of the NC, and Ind primaries when Tim said we now know who our nominee will be, Barack Obama, I knew he was telling the truth. I know we all will miss him, our prayers are with his family. You all have a great evening.
