Barack Obama's 'Diplomacy'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyI'm going to start this post by telling you that I agree with something Barack Obama said in Berlin last year: "America has no better partner than Europe. Now is the time to build new bridges across the globe as strong as the one that bound us across the Atlantic. Now is the time to join together, through constant cooperation, strong institutions, shared sacrifice, and a global commitment to progress, to meet the challenges of the 21st century." Now, the question is whether or not he has lived up to those objectives, and at the moment he appears to be failing miserably. I genuinely think ...
Gibbs on 'Never Waste a Crisis'
By Dave - Politics DailyRemember, "Never Waste a Crisis" is a synonym for fear-mongering, which is something we were told that the Obama administration was hoping against and changing. So see if you can figure out if the Obama administration is for or against using crises to push policy based on the Gibbs answer above... I admit I'm stumped, but I think a dodge and weave answer is probably answer enough. He didn't exactly denounce Hillary did he? ...
Now We Know Why Bill Kept the Donor List Secret
By Dave - Politics Dailyvia the IHT:A developer in New York state donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton's foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman's mall project. Hillary Clinton helped enact legislation allowing the developer, Robert Congel, to use tax-exempt bonds to help finance the construction of the Destiny USA entertainment and shopping complex, an expansion of the Carousel Center in Syracuse. She also helped secure a provision in a highway bill that set aside $5 million for ...
Hillary Supporters Raise $8M for McCain/Palin
By Dave - Politics DailyA veritable who's who of the PUMA wing. The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com The reception for former Clinton supporters, which also was attended by Rick Davis, the McCain campaign manager, was spearheaded by Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a former telecommunications entrepreneur and "Hillraiser" who brought in more than $100,000 for Mrs. Clinton's campaign; Calvin Fayard, also a former Hillraiser and longtime Democratic donor from Louisiana, and Miguel Lausell, a former senior political adviser to the Clinton campaign from Puerto Rico. Hmmm... I was pretty sure I was told that somewhere along ...
What Did You Think of Hillary's Speech?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAs I wrote yesterday, the dramatic tension between Barack Obama and the Clintons made for nifty little page-turner. But Hillary's big speech, to my mind, gave Democrats the moment of denouement they've been yearning for, and vanquished the notion of party strife to a mere footnote to the campaign of '08. Yes, there will be the rather insignificant squabbles as to whether Hillary "did enough," but that media narrative was already getting pretty tired before the convention even began. I have but one quibble with Clinton's powerful remarks: Due to an excess of negatives, the literal meaning of ...
Hillary Rocks the DNC
By Dave - Politics DailyWell, that's more like it. After the previous night's warm and fuzzy--dare I say tepid--affair, Hillary brings the red meat and delivers it full throated and raw to a waiting Democratic audience. She had two or three goals in this speech and she met them all.One goal was to wind up the audience and deliver a stinging attack on George Bush and John McCain. Done and with gusto, saying that it was interesting they were going to be together in the twin cities, since they seem to be twins themselves. Nice line and got big applause, but it won't sell in the public just yet, as the media has spent ...
Damned if She Doesn't
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAs anyone who teaches creative writing will tell you, in order for your story to capture the attention of a reader, it must contain an ample amount of conflict. Furthermore, that conflict must lead someplace, preferably toward a resolution of some kind. Say what you will about the apparent friction between the Obama and Clinton camps at the Democratic National Convention, but it has made for an interesting plot line. The questions that remain are about said resolution. Are we looking at a happy ending? A cliff hanger that segues into a sequel? Will Hillary's words, yet again, be overshadowed ...
No Edwards: Hillary Wins
By Dave - Politics DailyDid the Mainstream media's lack of followup in the Edwards/Hunter affair last November keep Edwards in the race and ended up kicking Hillary out? It was around then that the first Edwards rumors started kicking around. The mainstream media angle is my addition, but it's the logical conclusion to this thinking here exhibited by Howard Wolfson: "I believe we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee," former Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson told ABCNews.com. Clinton finished third in the Iowa caucuses barely behind Edwards in second place and ...
Rove: Hillary vs. Uncommitted
By Dave - Politics DailyKarl Rove, Super Evil Genius Extraordinaire, on Hillary's performance, or lack thereof in Michigan. "I want you to look at the results of last night's primary in Michigan," said Rove. "Sen. Clinton's name was on the ballot and none of her principal opponents were. Fifty-five percent of the people turned out and voted for her. She got 328,151 votes, but 236,723 people turned out for the Democratic primary to vote for 'uncommitted'." "Think about that," Rove continued. "If you run against nobody, and nobody gets 40 percent of the vote. The other 5 percent of the vote went for three other ...
