HD-99 Democratic Challenger Launches Blog; Endorses Obama

Obama is politics as usual .. NAFTA memo obtained by AP (0.00 / 0)

ABC News Nafta Shafta - http://blogs.abcnews.com/polit...

The memo obtained by the AP was widely distributed within the Canadian government. It is more than 1,300 words and covers many topics that DeMora said were discussed in the Feb. 8 ''introductory meeting'' between himself, Goolsbee and the consul general in Chicago, Georges Rioux.

Goolsbee ''was frank in saying that the primary campaign has been necessarily domestically focused, particularly in the Midwest, and that much of the rhetoric that may be perceived to be protectionist is more reflective of political maneuvering than policy,'' the memo's introduction said. ''On NAFTA, Goolsbee suggested that Obama is less about fundamentally changing the agreement and more in favour of strengthening/clarifying language on labour mobility and environment and trying to establish these as more `core' principles of the agreement.''

Can we expect a regular one? (0.00 / 0)

I'm wondering whether we can expect a regular spam-like anti-Obama comment every morning until the primary is over.  Or maybe it is just until Texas votes?

probably (0.00 / 0)

one anti-Obama spam comment per story, and 5-10 anti-Clinton spam front page stories per day seem to be the MO over the last 2 weeks.

Now that Barack Obama resigned to his seat as Senator of Illinois, State's governor Rod Blagojevich has ruined and had gave Illinois a bad name. The American political climate, which had been so optimistic of late, has started to get ugly again. Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has likely seen his last payday for awhile, along with his chief of staff, John Harris. Both were arrested by the FBI on federal corruption charges on Tuesday morning. Normally, a person in such a high position getting busted for something that big is shocking enough, but it gets worse in that he is the second governor if Illinois in a row to get arrested on federal criminal charges. His predecessor, George Ryan, was arrested a few years ago, on corruption charges as well. Blagojevich evidently assumed that he was King of Illinois and was trying to literally sell the Senate seat recently vacated by Barack Obama. According to Illinois law, the governor determines who fills the seat, and Blagojevich figured that it was a quick way to make a buck or two. Well, it would be an understatement to say he got a little greedy. The FBI compiled a 76 page indictment against Harris and Blagojevich. He was caught on wiretap last month, and the FBI waited to get even more evidence against him, which they did. He claims that everything he did and said was legal. Residents of the state of Illinois will just have to wait and see. The climate in DC appears to be hopeful for now, but darker clouds are on the horizon for Blagojevich and his buddy, Harris. It's likely they've seen their last paydays in office. Click to read more on Blagojevich courtesy of Personal Money Store's Payday Loan News.
