"This week" on Fox News McCain tells Americans that their problems are psychological. Do you agree or disagree with him?

Hi everyone! The blog has been updated with the June 16th *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.

I would like to see a link of Senator McCain telling us that America's problems are all psychological -- I suppose our growing national debt and trade deficit are simply figments of our own imagination and the price at the pump is just something I think I am paying.

Re: Gore to endorse Obama | Report to Admin

By Kim, part of the Greatest lobbying force Washington has ever seen Jun 16th 2008 at 4:38 pm EDT

It is true. Senator McCain did say that a lot of our problems are psychological.

Link

Wow! I guess he really does think that a 35% increase in the price of gasoline is only a "psychological" burden.

Link

Here is another moment -- apparently, Senator McCain thinks that his "gas tax holiday" will give us a "little psychological boost" and that most of our problems are psychological.

I hope Senator McCain doesn't plan on handing out many more placebo pills during this Campaign, especially not the kind that cost us 200,000 construction jobs doing highway/freeway repair! (like Senator McCain's gas tax holiday does).

Re: Gore to endorse Obama | Report to Admin

Re: Gore to endorse Obama | Report to Admin

By Hope Won Jun 16th 2008 at 5:34 pm EDT

Excerpt from above article:

"The ad cited a vote Obama cast as an Illinois state senator against a bill mandating the death penalty for gang-related murders -- a bill the state's Republican governor later vetoed for being overly broad, vague, discriminatory, and for lacking any deterrent effect. The spot's narrator concludes, "When the time came to get tough, Obama chose to be weak. So, the question is: can a man so weak in the war on gangs be trusted in the war on terror?" The closing shot is that of the rubble at New York's post-9/11 ground zero.

Not surprisingly, Factcheck.org found it to be a mendacious hodgepodge of distortions and misrepresentations. Of course, what Brown is after is not veracity but the generation of emotion in his audience, principally anxiety. As he had successfully done with Dukakis, the aim is to emasculate Obama and thus to induce in the electorate a fear that the Democratic nominee will be unable to function as a manly protector."

These people are out for blood.

Re: Larry Sinclair on NPC - TAKE ACTION IMMediate | Report to Admin

By wendynyc Jun 16th 2008 at 5:38 pm EDT

email National Press Club: mbsibley@earthlink.net

I received this important e-mail this morning from an Action Group regarding Larry Sinclair's appearance at the National Press Club this week:

This morning a group of volunteers delivered nearly 11,500 petition signatures to the National Press Club asking them to check the facts of Larry Sinclair's story before giving him the stage.

But it looks like we need to keep pressure on the National Press Club getting the message yet.

Friday, as news was getting around Washington about our petition, the president of the National Press Club, Sylvia Smith, defended the event to the Politico, saying, "I'm not aware that we've ever turned anybody away for content."

It's up to us to convince her to do just that.

Please give a call to the National Press Club at 202-662-7500, and politely, but firmly, ask them to deny their stage to someone bent on slandering a public figure.

Their own code of ethics states, "I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service." (emphasis added)

Sinclair's lies about sex and drug use don't even come close to meeting that simple criterion. Hopefully a gentle reminder to review their own code of ethics will be enough to get the National Press Club to cancel the event.

Thank you for taking action,

Jane Hamsher and the Firedoglake Team

P.S. Please be patient when calling, their system isn't designed to handle too many simultaneous calls, so you might take you a couple tries to get through.

Obama camp sees possible win without Ohio, Fla. | Report to Admin

By Nov. 5th 2008 "Mission Accomplished," Ben from Monroe, NY HAPPY ELECTION DAY!!!! Jun 16th 2008 at 7:55 pm EDT

Obama camp sees possible win without Ohio, Fla.

Barack Obama's campaign envisions a path to the presidency that could include Virginia, Georgia and several Rocky Mountain states, but not necessarily the pair of battlegrounds that decided the last two elections — Florida and Ohio.

In a private pitch late last week to donors and former supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe outlined several alternatives to reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House that runs counter to the conventional wisdom of recent elections...

Obama's campaign has spent heavily on time and money in Virginia, where a Democratic presidential candidate hasn't won since 1964. In recent elections, however, high-profile Republicans have lost there. And in a sign of how serious Obama is taking the state, Plouffe dispatched to Virginia many aides who helped Obama stage his upset win in the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3.

The key, Plouffe told supporters, will be to register new black voters and new young voters in Virginia.

Thats the campaign's way of saying they are not picking Clinton. Pattis is very capable and was a manager not a strategist. Its impossiblye to run a winning campaign with a losing strategy. She was one of the ones pushing for Hillary to be more candid; run like she did at the end. She was told no they weer going to to do cold robotic Hillaryand put the tenderness in when needed. She did a good job given the people she had to report to; Ickes, Penn etc. Axelrod has known her for years, she is aa Chicago insider (notice how Chicago is the new Washinton-I LOVE THAT)She is very talented and capable in an organization that is not fueled by drama and warring insiders. This is an asset to the team and prepares the Clinton team very early on to know they are choosing her as VP.

I have to say that if any of the horrific press accounts of Patti Solis Doyle's performance for HRC were true, I'm EXTREMELY bummed about this. She did not sound like someone that should be running anything. I guess I'll have to just get over it, but his is upsetting.

I read that some of the mad HRC supporters are even MORE mad now because of Patti. I guess she is no longer speaking with the CLintons and since she is going to be working with the VP, then HRC supporters are taking this as HRC will not even be considered for VP.

thats just whats floating around out there.

They fired her like she was the problem. They kept the chief strategist Mark Penn and got ride of him only because of his double deal/talk with Columbia trade.

Ms Solis Doyle was certainly blamed, but it seemed to me from the financial reports that the blame game was mis-directed. It looked to me like Senator Clinton used a great deal of money trying to have as many people on the ground organizing in Iowa and New Hampshire to counter the large number of people volunteering for Senator Obama. Personally, I think this was the right campaign decision for Senator Clinton to make at the time, but this decision also was very expensive (and left her Campaign close to broke). This is clearly a strategic decision, however, and Ms Solis Doyle was the money-person, not strategy.

Re: here is a list of the new hires today by the obama camp! | Report to Admin

By Kathleen O'Bamacan Jun 16th 2008 at 5:19 pm EDT

I am sure you are right. Penn indicated it was $25 mil pi$$ed away:

That’s a huge amount, 25 million. Do you think there’ll be some awful scandal about where it all went?
No.

Was it just ineptitude?
I just think it will be very high. [He means the amount of money that was pi$$ed away.]

But it didn’t go to you?
No. No. But you know, budgeting campaigns like this is a big management responsibility that required people with experience at doing budgets.

Who was in charge of the budget?
Again, you know, the manager—the adviser to the manager.

So, Patti Doyle.
She kept a very close hold on the budget—and the budget team, you know, met by themselves. And so they managed the budget. Now, again, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that structure. I asked to be part of that team and was told no. I personally manage a half a billion dollars in budgets [at Burson-Marsteller]. I understand what it is to manage budgets and to make the tough decisions in order to do what you need to do.

JAKE TAPPER INTERVIEW WITH OBAMA TODAY | Report to Admin

By jovie sullivan Jun 16th 2008 at 4:17 pm EDT

Obama Interview Excerpt: Reaching Across the Aisle
June 16, 2008 3:46 PM

We got a few minutes to interview Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, today. Here's one exchange. More of it will air tonight on World News and tomorrow on Good Morning America.

TAPPER: You and Senator John McCain are both talking about the need to reach across the partisan divide.

OBAMA: Right.

TAPPER: It's not difficult to look at Senator McCain's record and see examples of times when he reached across the partisan divide at great political risk to himself: immigration reform, Gang of 14, campaign finance reform. I know that you have worked across the aisle.

OBAMA: Absolutely.

TAPPER: But have you ever worked across the aisle in such a way that entailed a political risk for yourself?

OBAMA: Well, look, when I was doing ethics reform legislation, for example, that wasn't popular with Democrats or Republicans. So any time that you actually try to get something done in Washington, it entails some political risks. But I think the basic principle which you pointed out is that I have consistently said, when it comes to solving problems, like nuclear proliferation or reducing the influence of lobbyists in Washington, that I don't approach this from a partisan or ideological perspective. And the same is true when it comes to the economy. The same is true when it comes to national security. You know, this administration, the Bush administration, has made, for example, the war on terror into a sharply partisan issue. But the truth is, is that I admire some of the foreign policy of George Bush's father. And I've said so before. I think that there's a tradition of us working together to make sure that we are dealing with the threats that are out there and that we are building a consensus here in the United States. That's the kind of approach I intend to take when I'm president of the United States.

Many other VP ideas sound great but, Gore would bring it home I think. People like him, he has experience, we need to focus on the environment so that will be up front, and last but not least many people would like the idea that Gore could still possibly one day be president after having it stolen in 2000.

Re: gratuitous repost | Report to Admin

By Kimberly Helen Hussein Jun 16th 2008 at 5:08 pm EDT

Obama/Gore is a BOLD ticket, but I'd prefer him in a cabinet position.

I think Obama needs a known, but not TOO well-known VP. I think Gore would off-set the balance. It might look like Gore/Obama to some.

That's my two cents.

Re: gratuitous repost | Report to Admin

By Czarina CarolforObama Jun 16th 2008 at 5:11 pm EDT

Are there term limits for vice presidents?

Besides, I don't think Gore will be interested.

Re: gratuitous repost | Report to Admin

By S v K Jun 16th 2008 at 5:38 pm EDT

Why not? 16 years as VP and another 8 years as Prez......Would make him, one of the most famous Prez's in history.....

You are going to cal me crazy, but Pat Buchanon is too objective for FOx. He opposed the war, he opposes more 35% OF Bush's agenda and "eternal campaign mindset". He is a TRUEEEE conservative wants little to no government, no racial preferential treatment (wants everybody to stick with their own); but he will call a good strategy a good one and says often "obama has outstrategized everyone of his opponents". As radical as he may seem Tim Russert saw objectivity in him and wanted him on MSNBC. Fox can't turn Buchanon into one fo their talking heads. He talks right wing crazy..but to the beat of his own drum. He angers me sometimes, but he knows his political and historical stuff even if I don't agree with him on his social stances.

No matter what his policies, I think his brother George pretty much ruled out the serious possibility of a Jeb Bush presidency.
At least, I'll always hope so!

Larry Sinclair at National Press Club - TAKE ACTION | Report to Admin

By wendynyc Jun 16th 2008 at 5:35 pm EDT

Please all protest. TAKE ACTION NOW!

Send email to: mbsibley@earthlink.net

I received this important e-mail this morning from an Action Group regarding Larry Sinclair's appearance at the National Press Club this week:

This morning a group of volunteers delivered nearly 11,500 petition signatures to the National Press Club asking them to check the facts of Larry Sinclair's story before giving him the stage.

But it looks like we need to keep pressure on the National Press Club getting the message yet.

Friday, as news was getting around Washington about our petition, the president of the National Press Club, Sylvia Smith, defended the event to the Politico, saying, "I'm not aware that we've ever turned anybody away for content."

It's up to us to convince her to do just that.

Please give a call to the National Press Club at 202-662-7500, and politely, but firmly, ask them to deny their stage to someone bent on slandering a public figure.

Their own code of ethics states, "I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service." (emphasis added)

Sinclair's lies about sex and drug use don't even come close to meeting that simple criterion. Hopefully a gentle reminder to review their own code of ethics will be enough to get the National Press Club to cancel the event.

Thank you for taking action,

Jane Hamsher and the Firedoglake Team

P.S. Please be patient when calling, their system isn't designed to handle too many simultaneous calls, so you might take you a couple tries to get through.

Re: Larry Sinclair at National Press Club - TAKE ACTION | Report to Admin

By Sharon from Texas Jun 16th 2008 at 5:50 pm EDT

I did this and had no trouble getting through. They tried to tell me he was not actually a speaker but simply there with a number of groups presenting their ideas. I reiterated my opposition and was finally put through to leave a message.

Please call! This guy is a total sleezeball. His claims have nothing whatsoever to do with "news".

Tired on anlayst downing young voters | Report to Admin

By Tori from Greenville,SC Jun 16th 2008 at 5:47 pm EDT

I just wanted to choke that lady on Chris M insinuating that young people will not show up to vote in November. In their dreams. I think that the Republicans hope that young voters will not show up but deep down they are scared to death. They should realize that young people have never been as engaged in politics as they have been this year. Just look at our Obama fellows. I consider myself young as I am 30 and I reject the notion that young people will not vote. This is a different year and I am predicting record turnout on the Democratic side in November from all demographics.

All Women who currently do not know who to support...

Although John McCain has canceled his fundraising event with Oilman Clayton Williamns, it has been reported that McCain will not return money raised by Williams. About $300,000.00 so far.

This is the ultimate disrespect to all women.

Clayton Williams and rape comment:

It is not enough to NOT be seen with Williams at a fundraising event, taking the money raised by Williamns proves MNcCain a hypocrite and not a supporter of women's rights.

If you don't know who this Frank Sinclair guy is, I will just say briefly that he makes the most vile and disgusting lies about Sen. Obama...I would not repeat any of them...It would be appalling to give this man a platform..he has failed lie detector testing and is a criminal. PLEASE CALL NOW...202-662-7500

or email National Press CLub( go to their website) or the person bringing him:

And contrary to the propaganda from the oil industry that you're parroting, there are not enough oil resources anywhere on American soil to make that much of a difference. The resources available would take roughly 10 years to even get to your tank and even then, would help for approximately (only) three months.
Additionally, the second largest problem after speculators is the availability of refineries on domestic soil. We don't have enough and no one wants one in their community (do you?). So the long and short of it is that we need to be doing more toward switching to alternative fuels (witness Brazil where filling their tanks costs the equivalent of $1 US because they don't import any oil. They make their own biofuel from sugar cane).

I think if you want to charge people with name calling perhaps you need to look at your own party. Personally, I find it despicable how Michelle is treated by the right. Surely, you will find what many in the right are doing to her abhorrent?

Also, I am curious as to how John McCain will effect change and bring us out of the horrific constraints President Bush has binded us to?

Obama camp sees possible win without Ohio, Fla. | Report to Admin

By Nov. 5th 2008 "Mission Accomplished," Ben from Monroe, NY HAPPY ELECTION DAY!!!! Jun 16th 2008 at 7:55 pm EDT

Obama camp sees possible win without Ohio, Fla.

Barack Obama's campaign envisions a path to the presidency that could include Virginia, Georgia and several Rocky Mountain states, but not necessarily the pair of battlegrounds that decided the last two elections — Florida and Ohio.

In a private pitch late last week to donors and former supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe outlined several alternatives to reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House that runs counter to the conventional wisdom of recent elections...

Obama's campaign has spent heavily on time and money in Virginia, where a Democratic presidential candidate hasn't won since 1964. In recent elections, however, high-profile Republicans have lost there. And in a sign of how serious Obama is taking the state, Plouffe dispatched to Virginia many aides who helped Obama stage his upset win in the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3.

The key, Plouffe told supporters, will be to register new black voters and new young voters in Virginia.
