Obama's values

Hillary's agony
Is She a Trojan Rabbit? By MAUREEN DOWD, NYT Op-Ed Columnist, May 11, 2008 If Hillary Clinton were to become Barack Obama’s vice president, would she take the back seat or would she just always be plotting, draining him of his magical powers? My own two cents, not Ms. Dowd’s? Yes, she will. Hillary, if…

Road to oblivion
Party Like It’s 2008 By FRANK RICH, NYT Op-Ed Columnist, May 11, 2008 ANOTHER weekly do-or-die primary battle, another round of wildly predicted “game changers” that collapsed in the locker room. Hillary Clinton’s attempt to impersonate a Nascar-lovin’, gun-totin’, economist-bashin’ populist went bust: Asked which candidate most “shares your values,” voters in both North Carolina…

What we sow

of Class Struggle in the Wall Street Journal opinion editorial page. Some people think Sen. Barack Obama does not understand poor working people. I am not one of them.

Noonan: 'Damsel of Distress'
I am sorry to say this but I hate Peggy Noonan. She helped propagate evil policies under the elder Bush. She continues to play a corrosive role in American public life with her column on the Opinion-Editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. But, in today’s paper, she rightly excoriates Hillary Rodham Clinton for her…

Their true colors
(Mark Lennihan/Associated Press) The New York Post’s Wednesday morning headline. I do not want to waste any more breath on that beautiful dream (before the winks and nods to racist tactics, the say-anything-do-anything strategy to win) that was the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign for the Democratic Party nomination for president of the United States.
