Kudos to Barack Obama:
“Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And ifI thought there was somebody in my campaign who was involved in something like that, they would be fired.”
Whether or not this is a political calculation or not, this is the right thing. If the candidate doesn’t bring his or her family into the issue, the press should not do so.

Why you should never talk to the police:
When I was chairman in ’94 I introduced a major antiterrorism bill–back then. I drafted a terrorism bill after the Oklahoma City bombing. And the bill John Ashcroft sent up was my bill. Joe Biden, October 2001 discussing the Patriot Act.
He got the year wrong, it was 1995, but he has claimed similar things at other times – that he should be given credit for the Patriot Act. And he supported the “Real ID Act” which makes the Patriot Act look bland in terms of privacy violations. Nationalized, electronic record, government controlled health care will make both Acts above look like sweet little bunnies in comparison.

Memphis police beat someone and it is caught on tape in booking area. Thugs in Memphis, looks like the SS in Germany. Those officers should be in jail, not just fired:
“If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun. Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
Candidate Barack Obama, June 13, 2008, Philadelphia, PA.
Senators Mel Martinez and Diane Feinstein along with 11 co-sponsors include Barack Obama have authored a bill creating a national finger-print registry according to analysis of the bill. Yet another step towards asurveillancesociety. And another hint of the type of “Change” that Barack Obama will support – fewer freedoms.

This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America. – Barack Obama, June 3, 2008
