American journalists are not getting better, but worse. Blogs and YouTube are even more trustworthy and spot on than the Main Stream Media(MSM). There is nothing new to know about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Most of the reports on them are from the recycle bin. The American news media had the chance to promote the anti-war protests to end the war in Iraq, but the chance was abandoned to sensationalize the American presidential campaign. If only you can publish the cover story of every American soldier killed in Iraq and propel the motion to impeach President George W. Bush, Americans will be happier and merrier. If Bill Clinton was impeached for his private sex life, then George W. Bush should have been impeached for misleading America into a suicidal war in Iraq. It is not too late for the American news media to launch the "IMPEACH PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH!" campaign before the presidential election, except you want the GOP to remain in power in 2009. The number one pr...

I thank God Samantha Power, resigned with apologies and regrets for her terrible utterances against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton . Samantha Power is brilliant without doubt. But you cannot blame Bill Clinton for the Rwandan Genocide as you cannot blame President George W. Bush for the the genocide in Darfur happening before our very eyes. I am 100% Black African who is committed to the efforts to end the Darfur Crisis and communicated with the former UN Special Envoy to Sudan, Jan Pronk and my own insider in Darfur on how to stop the massacre of innocent people in Darfur. But the Sudanese government and the rebels have continued to pour fuel in the fire of the conflict in Darfur and they are both guilty of the genocide. The African Union and the UN are guiltier than the former President Bill Clinton on the Rwandan Genocide. I do not think there is anything Bill Clinton would have done to stop the genocide in the hellish circumstances if the UN failed to do so. America cannot ...

Samantha Power Samantha Power , the senior foreign policy adviser to Senator Barack Obama , called Senator Hillary Clinton a "monster" Thursday night, whilst talking to some Scottish reporters. This could be the beginning of the negative attacks planned by the Barack Obama Camp since losing in three states to Hillary Clinton last Tuesday. They are now scared of losing woefully in the Pennsylvania primary next month. Negative attacks will only worsen the chances of Barack Obama's quest for the White House . "She is a monster, too - that is off the record - she is stooping to anything," Samantha Power said and added more abusive remarks. "You just look at her and think: ergh. But if you are poor and she is telling you some story about how Obama is going to take your job away, maybe it will be more effective. The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive," she added...

Dear Orikinla, This is a hard-fought campaign. You and I both know it. And now the Obama campaign has upped the stakes again. In just 24 hours, you closed the $1.3 million advertising gap with Obama this week. In response, their campaign has bought another $1.9 million worth of airtime. For Hillary to win on March 4, we must close this gap -- and we have to do it quickly. We cannot let this race be decided by Obama's spending advantage on the air. Help Hillary make up the $1.9 million spending gap in 24 hours with your contribution today. The ads we put on the air matter. The number of phone calls we make matters. The rides we give to the polls matter. And most important of all, what you do right now matters. We have the best candidate with the best ideas -- and she's a fighter. She's knows that you are standing with her every step of the way. So let's show the Obama campaign that they can't win this race just by throwing more money at it. Let's match that $1.9 ...

I enjoy reading Ann Coulter and I am entitled to my view of her, regardless of whatever bias others have against her. I believe we should be entitled to our peculiarities as long as such peculiarities are not dangerous to the lives of others. Ann Coulter has no apologies or regrets for her polemics and even if I do not agree with her all the time, I can tolerate her. She is not hypocritical. I believe is the freedom of speech and the freedom of thought. I received the following article from Media Matters on why the MSNBC should no longer tolerate the "hate speech" of Ann Coulter against Barack Obama, the Clintons and other personalities in America. ............................ MSNBC still doesn't "get it": hosts Obama-bashing hatemonger Ann Coulter ... again A month ago, after Chris Matthews made a forced (and ridiculously inadequate) apology for one of his many sexist comments about Hillary Clinton, MSNBC colleagues Joe Scarborough, David Shuster, and Mika Brze...

Hillary Clinton, Tony Rezko and former President Bill Clinton The Drudge Report has just posted an official photograph of smiling Clintons with the notorious Chicago Slum Landlord, Tony Rezko. The ulterior motive of posting this photograph online is to signal the launch of a derogatory and retaliatroy campaign against the Clintons after Senator Hillary Clinton cited the relationship of Senator Barack Obama with Tony Rezko since 1990. To get the facts, read 8 things you need to know about Obama and Rezko . Barack Obama and his slumlord patron Why didn't City Hall stop him? Obama's letters for Rezko Rezko cash triple what Obama says Obama: I didn't know about Rezko problems Obama ducks the questions City should have cut off Rezko: aldermen

Dear Friend, By now, you may be familiar with this recent exchange between Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews: Sen. Clinton: "I don't know what to do with men who are obsessed with me. I honestly have never understood it." [...] Matthews: "It's not obsession." If you have ever watched an episode of Hardball, you may find Matthews' above statement a bit suspect. After all, as Media Matters for America has previously documented, after The New York Times published an article on Hillary and Bill Clinton's marriage in May of 2006, Matthews asked at least 90 questions on the subject over the course of seven broadcasts on his two programs (Hardball and The Chris Matthews Show). One of his guests during these broadcasts, Washington Post reporter Lois Romano, called Matthews out after he repeatedly inquired about how many days the Clintons slept under the same roof. "[W]hat is your obsession with logistics here?" s...

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton The Political Hypocrisy of Barack Hussein Obama’s Demagogy in His Desperation to Win South Carolina Democratic Primary I have been seeing and reading reports of the misguided insinuations of the Barack Obama camp on the remarks of the Clintons on Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr and the history of the Civil Rights Movement. I am not surprised, because I know the hypocritical political tactics of Senator Barack Hussein Obama and how he is going to manipulate racial sentiments among the African Americans in South Carolina and other states to turn them away from voting for Senator Hillary Clinton.
