Ik ben echt bang dat Obama nog steeds niet genoeg voorsprong heeft.

Ik vrees dat een groot deel van de mensen die nu zegt Obama te gaan stemmen zich op het laatste moment alsnog bedenken en toch een veiligere, vertrouwde keuze maken voor een blanke, ervaren man ipv iemand die grote veranderingen bepleit.

Ook is er altijd het gevaar dat als Obama té goed in de peilingen staat dat mensen te makkelijk gaan denken en niet meer de behoefte voelen om te gaan stemmen of het gevoel hebben dat hun stem de doorslag kan geven.

Daarnaast vrees ik dat er weer grote groepen kiezers niet zullen mogen stemmen door futiliteiten.

Dus ik hou angstvallig de peilingen in de gaten, en de nacht van 4 november op 5 november zal het nagelbijten worden, want Amerika maar ook de wereld is wel weer toe aan een president die de wereld samenbrengt en motiveert en inspireerd ipv een president die de wereld verdeeld en er een grotere puinhoop van maakt.

CNN) -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden ripped into recent comments by his Republican counterpart that suggested that some places in the U.S. are more "pro-America" than others.


Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin holds a rally Friday in West Chester, Ohio.

"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation," she said.

"This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans," Palin added.

On Friday, Palin clarified her comments.

"It's all pro-America. I was just reinforcing the fact that there, where I was, there's good patriotic people there in these rallies, so excited about positive change and reform of government that's coming that they are so appreciative of hearing our message, hearing our plan. Not any one area of America is more pro-America patriotically than others," she said.

At a rally in Mesilla, New Mexico, on Friday, Biden responded to those comments in a vociferous tone.

"I hope it was just a slip on her part and she doesn't really mean it. But she said, it was reported she said, that she likes to visit, 'pro-American' parts of the country," he said to loud boos.

"It doesn't matter where you live, we all love this country, and I hope it gets through. We all love this country," he said. "We are one nation, under God, indivisible. We are all patriotic. We all love our country in every part of this nation! And I'm tired. I am tired, tired, tired, tired of the implications about patriotism."

Obama Camp Connects ACORN Probe to US Attorneys Scandal
By Zachary Roth - October 17, 2008, 3:01PM

Add the Obama campaign to the growing list of players who think that DOJ's election-eve investigation into ACORN is a repeat of the politicization of the department that we saw in the US attorney firings scandal.

"With this voter fraud [investigation], we're seeing an unholy alliance of law enforcement and the ugliest form of partisan politics," Bob Bauer, an elections lawyer with the Obama camp, said on a conference call with reporters just now. Bauer compared the decision to launch the investigation with the US attorneys scandal, in which several US attorneys were fired for their unwillingess to pursue politically charged cases, including voter fraud, with sufficient aggression to satisfy the Bush administration.

Bauer released a letter sent to Attorney General Michael Mukasey calling on him to have the issue taken on by Nora Dannehy, the prosecutor he appointed to investigate the US attorney firings.

Bauer went on to accuse John McCain of "trying to create a much greater doubt about the electoral process altogether," by alleging that ACORN voter fraud could threaten the fabric of our democracy, as McCain claimed in the debate Wednesday night.

House Judiciary chair John Conyers, as well as David Iglesias -- whose firing as US attorney was a direct result of his reluctance to pursue GOP-pushed claims of voter fraud, according to the recent OIG report -- have also connected the FBI's ACORN investigation to the kind of politicization exposed in the firings saga.

quote:

"What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or Anti-America? I think the American people would love to see an expose like that."

Tell Congress to Censure Michele Bachmann

updated 10/18 2:00 a.m.

On the October 17 episode of MSNBC's Hardball, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota claimed that Barack Obama and other members of Congress share anti-American views.

Bachmann thinks that anyone who disagrees with her personal political agenda is unpatriotic. But she is the one who has a lot to learn about what it means to love America.

Her fellow members of Congress need to take a stand and tell Michele Bachmann that her disgusting accusations have no place in our country. Tell Congress to censure Rep. Bachmann.

Hoewel Powell een van de meest gematigde personen in deze neoconservatieve regering was, wordt ook hij gezien als mede-aanjager van de oorlog tegen het terrorisme en de oorlogen tegen Afghanistan (2001) en Irak (2003).

View of the U.S. war in Iraq

In July 2007 Powell revealed that he spent two and a half hours trying to persuade George W. Bush not to invade Iraq but that he did not prevail. At the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado[39] Powell stated, "I tried to avoid this war. I took him [Bush] through the consequences of going into an Arab country and becoming the occupiers."[40]

Powell went on to say that he believed Iraq was in a state of civil war. "The civil war will ultimately be resolved by a test of arms. It's not going to be pretty to watch, but I don't know any way to avoid it. It is happening now." He further noted, "It is not a civil war that can be put down or solved by the armed forces of the United States," and suggested that all the U.S. military could do was put "a heavier lid on this pot of boiling sectarian stew".[41]

Mr Obama leads Mr McCain by 48 to 44 per cent among likely US voters in the Reuters/Zogby four-day tracking poll, which has a margin of error of 2.9 points.

Mr McCain was backed by 91 per cent of Republicans in the poll, while Mr Obama drew support from just 88 per cent of Democrats.

But Obama still enjoyed a 16-point advantage among independent voters, which many analysts expect to be a deciding factor in the election.

Pollster John Zogby said: "If (Mr McCain) maintains his edge with Republicans, he stays competitive. But he's going to have to increase his share of independents."

Mr Obama, 47, has seen his lead widen in recent weeks amid the global financial crisis, with voters consistently giving him higher marks on economic management.

The 72-year-old Mr McCain now leads in only one age group - those aged 35-49 - while Mr Obama has the edge in virtually all others including the most elderly voters.

"That has got to be the impact of the economy on those who are nearing retirement or in retirement," Mr Zogby said.

Fairfield Neighbors Upset Over Anti-Obama Ghost

Last Update: 10/17 10:55 am

Racist Anti-Obama Display Hung From Tree in Fairfield

Surprise, shock and some fear in a local neighborhood, after an anti-Obama display is hung from a tree. The display is at a home at Symmes and Hicks Road in Fairfield.

And the person who put it there says the message isn't political, it's racist. Shawn Ley spoke with the man who isn't shy about his views.

There it is, right above the "McCain-Palin" sign: a make-shift ghost, hanging from a noose. A Barack Obama sign attached upside down. Obama's middle name: "Hussein" spray painted and misspelled above.

Mike Lunsford hung the ghost in his yard. He spoke to us off-camera, saying his views could hurt his employers business ... but he says make no mistake: He doesn't want an African American running the country.

Lunsford says he believes Barack Obama is not a "full blooded American." And he says the United States is a white, Christian nation - and only with white Christians should be in power. With Lunsford not willing to share his views on-camera:

"It's like whoa. He's definitely anti-black."

His neighbors are. Vickie Crowe lives next door. She's an Obama supporter.

"What did you think when you first saw that?" Vickie Crowe/neighbor: "Well actually my 5 year old son says Obama's hanging upside down. He's what? He's hanging upside down. It's the neighbor's ghost. I took it as a little bit of a racist statement because my grandson's mixed and it hurt a little bit."

Mike Lunsford says he got the idea after an Obama supporter in New York put up this display of a Obama mannequin being chased by a figure of John McCain wearing Ku Klux Klan robes.

Here - new mom Megan story says this symbol makes her more than uneasy it scares her. Megan Story/neighbor: "He's been a really nice neighbor but it's one of those you question and wonder, you know, if he's that forward about something will he be forward enough to do something else, too. it is scary at times but we live in a scary world."

Lunsford also says he's motivated by the national media which he says is pro-Obama. The McCain KKK image is being celebrated as a "hit" on the internet. Lunsford expects a negative reaction to this, although he hasn't gotten any complaints.

Voorsprong Obama slinkt in nieuwe peiling

WASHINGTON - De voorsprong van de Democraat Barack Obama op de Republikein John McCain in de race om het Amerikaanse presidentschap is geslonken tot 3 procentpunten. Dit blijkt zondag uit een nieuwe opiniepeiling in opdracht van het Britse persbureau Reuters.

Volgens een van de opinieonderzoekers moeten na deze peiling bij Obama de 'rode lampjes' gaan branden. De Democraat was volgens sommige waarnemers al verzekerd van een overwinning op 4 november. „Er is zonder twijfel iets gebeurd”, aldus onderzoeker John Zogby.

quote:

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is urging the FEC to investigate whether the Clarion Fund, a shadowy non-profit organization that distributed DVDs containing “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West,” is really a front for an Israel-based group seeking to help Sen. John McCain win the U.S. presidential election. (No information about a board of directors, staff or even a physical address is offered on the fund’s website.)

In its complaint to the FEC, CAIR wrote in part:

“The Clarion Fund recently financed the distribution of some 28 million DVDs containing the film ‘Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West’ in what many political analysts describe as ‘swing’ states in the upcoming presidential elections. Those same analysts say the distribution of the ‘Obsession’ DVD was designed to benefit a particular presidential candidate, namely Sen. John McCain…

McCain's other problem is that the polls in battleground states have not really tightened at all. Obama gets good numbers today, for instance, in North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Florida.

As such, this may serve as a hedge against any improvements that McCain is able to make elsewhere in the country.
