DISQUS

I've only seen a brief clip on HuffPost but LOVE the dress. It really suits her.


And Craig, I'm a big tennis fan. What's your blog address? Thanks.

Just got DirectTV today and the first thing I did was set the DVR to record tomorrow's View!

Obama sure has a lot of fair weather friends here.


You can disagree with his sentiment, but he's said this numerous times in numerous venues. Why the surprise? Why didn't you call him on it before? And how is it political pandering if he's been saying the same thing for years?



Disagree with him all you want, but don't act like it's a sudden, horrible change in him that has you reconsidering your support.

I just wanted to acknowledge the fact that Obama is working his ass off.


I think he took Sasha's birthday off, and since then he's been all over the map, holding one-on-ones with families, visiting hospitals, attending fundraising dinners, and taking over the DNC ;-)



I am more impressed by him every day.

A really nice tribute to Michelle at dailykos:

Don't know if the campaign will be addressing this type of stuff here, but Obama's web site now has a section called "Fight the Smears":

Sorry to be off topic, but did you see this:


http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/11/21256/4677/594/534342



Fox News calls Michelle "Obama's baby mama," slang for an unwed mother.



What can we do? This is total BS, completely unacceptable.

Folks, folks, folks, did you see this:

This is fucking BS. What can we do?

Hey, this is a sort of housekeeping request. Could you put a link on the left to your awards (Cosby award, et al.) so we can remember what the categories are in case we want to make a nomination?

The (young) Baldwin award:

I have to say I think it was a decent speech. I agree with Chris Matthews, she gave a pragmatic, steely speech that sent a message to her supporters that they need to elect a Dem, no matter how pissed off they are that that Dem is not Clinton. If she telegraphed the message that she'll be back in 2012 or 2016, that's OK, because the overt message was that in the meantime we need to elect Obama. This speech had to be about converting her supporters. Now we'll see if she campaigns as hard for Obama as she promised.

Michelle to guest host The View, June 18:

And Craig,



I musta been channeling you when I was watching that smug little snot Tucker Carlson.

rikryah,


In case you're not familiar with this:

You'll be able to see front pages from all over US, world, tomorrow. I can't wait to check them all out!

He and Michelle looked incredible.

Wow! That list coming out while he's speaking reminds me of the scene in The Godfather, while Michael is at his child's baptism, all of his enemies are being elminated ;)))))

If only HRC had been anywhere near as gracious ...

I will never forget this night.

Best line of the day;

I've got a solution:


Donna Brazile for president!

Thanks anon for Webb explanation.


I should read up more on MCaskill because I've been so impressed by her every time I've seen her acting as an Obama surrogate on the news. She's unflappable, knows her stuff, and never lets someone get away with saying shit about Obama.

McCaskill is very impressive when she speaks to the press, but that's all I know about her.


Forgive my ignorance, but can someone tell men what Webb has done to piss off feminists ... that't the second time I've read that and I'm clueless.



TIA.

Over at TPM, Josh Marshall has a post -- titled "Toxic" -- about how Hillary is trying to convince her supporters that this nomination is being stolen from her -- even though her own words and actions makes clear she doesn't believe that. How more divisive can she get?!

He is one of the smartest, hardest working members of Congress. My prayers are with him.
