Portrayal Of Obama As Elitist Hailed As Step Forward For African Americans

John McCain 3 am Ad

It's must be confusing for conservatives, who have based their whole point of view on the fact they believe that Hillary is a blantant liar...,to now embrace and nod their heads in agreement with her in the current McCain ad...maybe they will demand McCain choose her for his V.P.

Latest Poll Reveals 430 New Demographics That Will Decide Election

The most qualified candidate for McCains V.P.

Last year, the biggest oil companies made almost $150 billion in profits

—an all-time record.¹ But our friends at the Center for American Progress just released a report showing that John McCain wants to give them even more—$39 billion in tax cuts and subsidies.²

It's a stark choice: we can invest in solar panels on our roofs. Wind farms powering our homes. Plug-in hybrids that use barely any gas. New, green jobs revitalizing our communities. Or we can follow John McCain's plan, and keep giving billions of our tax dollars to oil companies.

On Tuesday, we're holding rallies across the country to call for a shift to a clean energy economy—and to make sure voters know John McCain would rather give our tax dollars to help Big Oil than invest in cheap, clean alternatives to oil.

 

John McCain plans to continue supporting Big Oil profits over clean energy progress—new data for California shows how many millions of our state tax dollars McCain would funnel to Big Oil, and just what that money could do if we used it locally on new clean energy projects. How many windmills. How many houses we could weatherize. How much of an investment we could make in geothermal energy. How many jobs we'd create.

Right now, before the major campaign ad spending starts, may be our last chance to help people see through the rhetoric to the truth: John McCain is on Big Oil's side, not ours. We can have a clean energy future—but not if we elect a candidate who's committed to the policies of the past

Mukasey rules out prosecutions from hiring scandal

Reuters – U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey speaks about the Administration's legal approach in the conflict 

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Former U.S. Justice Department officials who improperly used political criteria in hiring decisions for career lawyers and immigration judges will not be prosecuted, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said on Tuesday.

The department recently issued reports detailing misconduct in hiring practices mainly by top aides to former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who resigned last year. While there was wrongdoing and "a failure of supervision by senior officials in the department," the conduct was not criminal, Mukasey said in a speech.

"Where there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, we vigorously prosecute," he told the American Bar Association annual meeting in New York. "But not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime. In this instance, the two joint reports found only violations of the civil service laws."

The Justice Department's internal investigation concluded that high-ranking officials injected politics into what should have been nonpartisan hiring decisions. Both department policy and federal law bar the use of politics in making decisions on hiring for career jobs.

Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine has previously told Congress he did not see a sufficient basis for prosecution of the former officials, saying the violations did not involve criminal laws.

Mukasey also said on Tuesday he disagreed with critics who have suggested that people hired through the flawed process should be fired or moved to different jobs.

"Two wrongs do not make a right," he said. He said it would be "unfair, and quite possibly illegal given their civil service protections, to fire them or to reassign them without individual cause."

The new rebumblingcon talking points are: no decisions about leaving Ireq will be revealed to the press until we know the facts on the ground...Bush is mumbling about not offering a time line...but he will talk about a horizontal increment of numeration determined by the progression of activies....based on facts on the ground...

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama played down a controversy in Germany over whether he should speak at Berlin's historic Brandenburg Gate, saying he did not want the venue to distract from his message

 

Obama's tentative plans to hold a speech in late July at the Brandenburg Gate have exposed simmering tensions in the German government, an uneasy alliance between the main conservative and centre-left parties.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman said on Wednesday that she frowned on any speech at the gate, a symbol of German unity.

Asked during a flight to San Diego on Saturday night whether he wanted to speak at the Brandenburg Gate, Obama said the message was more important than the venue of the speech.

 

"We had been trying to coordinate with folks on the ground in terms of finding an appropriate site, but we didn't have a particular site in mind," Obama said. "I want to make sure that my message is heard as opposed to creating a controversy."

 

"Our goal is just for me to lay out how I think about the next administration's role in rebuilding our trans-Atlantic alliance. And so I don't want the venue to be a distraction," he said.

 

Obama, a first term Illinois senator, is planning a trip to Europe and the Mideast this summer to bolster his foreign policy credentials -- one of the strong points of his Republican opponent, John McCain, in the November election.

 

The German government has denied that Washington put pressure on Merkel to block the proposed Obama speech. German newspapers reported Bush administration officials had signaled their reservations about Obama speaking at the landmark.

 

A conservative ally of Merkel said on Saturday Obama should not speak at the Brandenburg Gate because he played no role in German unification.

A focal point of Cold War tensions, West Berlin was kept free during a Soviet blockade six decades ago by a U.S.-led Air Lift. Since then, American leaders from John Kennedy to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton have delivered major speeches in Berlin.
