Obama Campaign Rushing To Lower Expectations For The Amount Of Hope ‘N Change The One Will Bring Us
Say Anything — Barack Obama making campaign promises he can’t possibly keep? I’m shocked.

Obama's Message Getting Out
Politics Daily — Filed under: Democrats, Barack Obama, 2008 President, Viral VideoAll political campaigns fret from time to time that their central message is not getting out. So candidates often repeat their proposals and promises numerous times in an attempt to make sure that voters connect with the campaign's purpose and the candidate's vision. If the following supporter of Sen. Obama is any indication, however, the Obama campaign has no reason to worry. This supporter, interviewed at a Florida Obama rally, understands clearly what Sen. Obama and his campaign have been trying to communicate. And she has a perfectly clear idea of ...

The Winner In The Election Was Peggy The Moocher*
Say Anything — It wasn’t Joe the Plumber, who didn’t want to be punished with new taxes for buying a plumbing business, or Tito the Builder, who wants to be free to live his life with as little interference from the government as possible, who won in this election.
