We are all keeping an eye on our checkbooks and wallets. Historically, how taxes are handled always comes into play in politics at every level. Obama’s proposed handling of taxes reflects on both parties’ history: the Democratic ticket will result in lower taxes for lower and middle income groups, with cuts DECREASING as the income [...]
Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign has stated, the American people don’t care whether Sarah Palin can answer specific questions about foreign and domestic policy.
According to Wallace in an appearance this morning on Joe Scarborough’s show “The American people will learn all they need to know (and all they deserve to know) from Palin’s scripted [...]
DURYEA (CNN) – Obama continued to slam the McCain campaign on Friday for manager Rick Davis’s comments that the election would be more about the candidates’ personas, not the issues. The Illinois senator said he’s not running for president for his “pretty good personality” and that it’s a sign Republicans intend to scare voters away [...]

When Obama announced his choice of Biden, much was made of how it showed his insecurities and that he was looking to fill in the gaps in his foreign policy experience. Yes, Obama has chosen someone who has been critical of him and who does have the hindsight of many years of life and senatorial [...]
So much has been said about Vice Presidential picks. How quaint that the raging comparison seems to be that between Senator Obama and Governor Palin. That comparison is between apples and oranges, or perhaps an apple tree and a single orange. In Anderson Cooper’s interview of Senator Obama (aired on Sept. 1, 2008), Obama highlighted [...]
Throughout his presidential campaign those surrounding Obama have heard him repeat the same thing time and time again "I need to get better". Those words were spoken after his candidacy was announced and also following the debates, defeats and victories.
Obama has learned to prepare himself for this competition. At times he seems as much [...]
“There’ve been times that I thought I couldn’t last for long/But now I think I’m able to carry on/It’s been a long time coming/But I know a change is gonna come.” Sam Cooke, the great R&B singer, wrote those words in 1963 following a visit to a civil rights event in what was then Jim [...]
