John Edwards - Pro Obama; Elizabeth Edwards - Pro Clinton?

POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC TICKET????

So, John Edwards finally threw his endorsement to Barack Obama yesterday.  Perfectly timed to steal the thunder from Hillary Clinton’s mega huge winning margin in WV I’d say.   Showboating his way in for a possible Democratic ticket in November, perhaps?  

Mr. Edwards could potentially help Mr. Obama with that group. A Southerner, he had directed his candidacy at the same white and working class voters Mr. Obama is trying to woo.

“I’ll just point out the obvious,” Mr. Edwards told one audience when he was campaigning in Iowa last year. “In the last — can I do the math, 45, 50 years — what is it, the last two Democrats who actually got elected president? Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton. Both of them talk like I do.”

 While John Edwards promises to help with the working class whites (you know, the ones that are bitter and clinging to their guns and religion), where is his wife, Elizabeth? 

Missing from the event was Elizabeth Edwards, Mr. Edwards’s wife, who has been a passionate proponent of universal health care. The Edwardses were said to be split on the endorsement, with Mrs. Edwards said to favor Mrs. Clinton because of her preference for parts of the Clinton health care plan.

Mr. Obama, who accepted Mr. Edwards’s endorsement with praise for the speech and the man, also praised Mrs. Edwards and her commitment to health care. Asked if she would endorse him, he said, “I would not speak for Elizabeth.”

Wonder how this will effect the Edwards household…

OBAMA + HAMAS = Yet Another Advisor Under the BUS!

Robert Malley, one of Obama’s Middle East Policy ADVISORs, admitted that he has been in constant contact with Hamas.  He has now been tossed under the bus…it’s getting pretty crowded underneath there, eh?

Robert Malley told The Times that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, which controls Gaza and is listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organisation. Such talks, he stressed, were related to his work for a conflict resolution think-tank and had no connection with his position on Mr Obama’s Middle East advisory council.

Under the bus you go…

Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr Obama, responded swiftly: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.” The rapid departure of Mr Malley followed 48 hours of heated clashes between John McCain, the Republican nominee-elect, and Mr Obama over Middle East policy.

Apparently this happened Friday afternoon…and no one is watching…except a few of us like Michelle Malkin!

WEDDING PICTURES: Jenna Bush & Henry Hager 05/10/08

As the nuptials drew near on Saturday, tour buses loaded with wedding guests began rolling through downtown Crawford, past souvenir stores that earlier in the day had sold out of Jenna and Henry coffee mugs and mouse pads. An 18-foot rusty metal sculpture of an angel, a gift to the town after Bush’s re-election, was adorned with a white veil and bouquet of white flowers. Plastic geese ornaments on a lawn were dressed up with white knit hats and draped in tulle.

Millie Martin Bratten, editor-in-chief of BRIDES magazine, said the wedding was a letdown for some who craved a Princess Diana-style event. But she said Jenna’s wedding - her classy Oscar de la Renta gown and all - might even set a trend for future presidential weddings. Bratten foresees future first family weddings that mix protocol and formality with creative individual touches from the bride.

Officiating was the Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, an influential minister from Houston and longtime spiritual adviser to the president, has endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

“Our little girl, Jenna, married a really good guy, Henry Hager,” Bush said, standing next Mrs. Bush at an airport in Waco where he boarded Air Force One for his flight back to Washington. “The wedding was spectacular. It’s just - it’s all we could have hoped for.”

“The weather cooperated nicely,” Bush said about the wedding at his 1,600-acre Texas ranch. “Just as the vows were exchanged, the sun set over our lake and it was just a special day and a wonderful day and we’re mighty blessed.”

The post-wedding party ensued. The more than 200 family and friends were entertained by the Tyrone Smith Revue, a 10-piece party band from Nashville, Tenn. The musicians gave the newlyweds what Smith described as a “get down” party.

 Bush and Jenna glided across the dance floor to “You are so Beautiful” - a ballad made famous by Joe Cocker. The newlyweds danced to “Lovin’ in My Baby’s Eyes” by Taj Mahal. 

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S  TO THE NEWLYWEDS!!!!!

Congratulations and Well Wishes to Jenna Bush and Henry Hager on Their Wedding Day!

Jenna Bush decided to stay true to her roots and declined a White House wedding, opting for a mere intimate family affair at the Crawford Ranch.  It would have been an international extravaganza for sure at the WH.  Kudos for them for wanting this day to be about them and family.

Jenna told Vogue that she considered a White House affair, but felt it was too formal. “Henry and I are far less glamorous than the White House.” Citing her and Hager’s love of the outdoors, she told Vogue, “It means a lot to Henry and me to be outdoors. We wanted something organic and low key.”

To avoid the Texas heat, the 200 guests will gather just before sunset at 7:30 p.m.

They will be married at twilight in front of a limestone alter and cross that Dubya had build especially for this momentous occiasion.

Jenna’s dress is organza with embroidery, beading and a small train. Barbara, serving as maid of honor, will wear a moonstone-blue silk gown with an open back. Fourteen friends will serve in the house party, wearing custom gowns of cocktail length in shades of Texas wildflowers.

“It will be really beautiful,” Laura Bush said. “This is the time when the wildflowers are all blooming. And I think it will be a very, very lovely wedding, and it will be very like Jenna and Henry. And, of course, that’s what we want. We want what she wants.”

What did Dubya had to say about the weddinig…? 

 ”I have nothing to say about it. They let me spend money.” Last month, while on a visit to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the President had joked, “I had to face some very difficult spending decisions and I’ve had to conduct sensitive diplomacy. That’s called planning for a wedding.”

Yet Another Email Campaign - LET’S BOYCOTT GAS COMPANIES

…this time with an added twist!!  LOL

Since apparently the first campaign failed miserably, someone must have sat all night to analyze what went wrong.  hmmm?   (well, maybe it’s more like  boredom?)  Anyway, could it perhaps be that we NEED gas?  Perhaps, people stocked up on gas prior to the boycott days?  Purchased more than their normal amount (since they were running on empty) the day after?  I mean, we did all participate in this boycott, right?     LOL

Well the solution came in this new email campaign with instructions to forward to 10 other people…to achieve the final goal of 300 MILLION PEOPLE in 8 DAYS!!   You know, the you tell 10 and they tell 10 and so on and so on theory!!  EEK!!  Here it is…(exactly as how it was presented in the email…crappy spacing and all)

THIS IS NOT THE ‘DON’T BUY’ GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

 

 

 

 

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.

 

 

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. 

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the ‘don’t buy gas on a certain day’ campaign that was going around last April or May!

 

 

It’s worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

 

We need to take some intelligent, united action.

 

 

 

The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn’t continue to ‘hurt’ ourselves by refusing to buy gas

 

 

.

 

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

 

 

 

BUT,

 

 

whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can Really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you’re probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.49 for regular unleaded in my town, Seattle.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers.

 

 

 

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

 

 

 

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit

 

 

 

someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

 

 

 

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can’t just stop buying gas.

 

 

 

But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

 

 

 

Here’s the idea: For the rest of this year, DON’T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one),

 

 

EXXON

and MOBIL.

 

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

 

 

 

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It’s really simple to do! Now, don’t wimp out on me at this point…keep reading and I’ll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

 

 

 

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) … and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x

 

 

10 = 3,000)… and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers .

 

If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!

 

 

 

If it goes one level further, you guessed it….. THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

 

 

 

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That’s all!

 

 

 

(If you don’t understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people…. Well, let’s face it, you just aren’t a mathematician. But I am . so trust me on this one.

 

 

 

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!

 

 

 

I’ll bet you didn’t think you and I had that much potential, did you!

 

 

 

Acting together we can make a difference.

 

 

 

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

 

 

Keep it going,

considering that mobil sells foreign, not domestic oil, this should be a no brainer!!

um…okie dokie.     maybe it’ll work?   

Top 10 reasons McCain should repudiate the National Council of La Raza

By Michelle Malkin

I told you yesterday about John McCain’s plans to speak to the National Council of La Raza (The Race) in July. Here are the top 10 reasons he should repudiate the radical open borders, speech-squelching group that he has long embraced:

10. La Raza supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.

9. La Raza supports in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding US citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.

8. La Raza opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state, and federal authorities.

7. La Raza sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars, including the “Aztlan Academy” in Tucson, AZ, the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, AZ, and Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn.

6. La Raza gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), which the late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized as “a radical racist group…[and] one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.”

5. La Raza opposes a secure fence on the southern border.

4. Former La Raza president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton’s Hispanic outreach advisor said this:

“US English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks.” He was referring to US English the nation’s oldest, largest citizens’ action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States.

La Raza also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms “illegal” and “amnesty.”

3. La Raza is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable TV networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves–in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes.

2. La Raza has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.

1. The National Council of La Raza means The National Council of “The Race,” for God’s sake.

Their signature slogan, chanted at pro-illegal alien rallies from coast to coast, is “La raza unida nunca sera vencida.”

“A united [Hispanic] race will never be defeated.”

What possible good will come out of a GOP presidential candidate giving legitimacy and credibility to a sovereignty-undermining, assimilation-rejecting, law-defying group that calls itself “The Race?”

***

Victor Davis Hanson:

I agree that John McCain should not attend any conference of a group called “National Council of the Race.” In a multiracial society, Rev. Wright’s “rich white folks,” Obama’s “typical white person”, and clingers comments, and the idea of “The Race” will eventually doom us all. And it’s time no one gets a pass any more.

Jonathan Martin cluelessly suggests that McCain is “trying to show that he’s not George W. Bush by going into the lion’s den and taking hostile, unscripted questions from adversarial groups.”

Hostile? Adversarial? Do your homework, MSM.

McCain was honored by The Race in 1999, keynoted The Race’s 2004 conference, and has championed their agenda for years
