Race for President
This won't help: "Typical white person". I'm not sure, but I don't think that's transcending. And I'm all for reaching as many people as possible, but perhaps it would be a good idea to take a pass on the morning sports talk shows. And just as the odd spectacle of Obama's foot-in-mouth disease takes another turn, there's a competing storyline! From the Washington Times: Two State Department employees were fired recently and a third disciplined for improperly accessing electronic personal data on Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, Bush administration officials said today. The Obama campaign is outraged, and rightly so. It goes without saying that Sen. Obama is due the same privacy of these documents that is due every American. But, at first reporting, this does seem to indicate that the systems put in place to catch unauthorized access of this information worked properly. We'll have to see if it has any political legs, as it's certain to have a court-room drama attraction. Charges against these two seem likely. Serving to further extend the Jeremiah Wright narrative, this new picture has surfaced:  President Clinton and Rev. Wright at a White House prayer breakfast. The New York Times makes this note: In providing the photograph to The New York Times, the Obama campaign appeared to be trying to divert some attention to the Clintons after a week in which Mr. Obama's relationship with Mr. Wright has left him facing one of the biggest challenges of his campaign. There is nothing in the picture or the note that addresses whether Mr. Clinton had met Mr. Wright prior to the White House meeting or whether he or Mrs. Clinton knew anything about Mr. Wright's views. And finally, a report from CBS 2 Chicago's Mike Flannery. He's reporting on the media reporting on a story he reported two years ago. Follow that? Without permission from CBS 2, the Fox News Channel ran Wednesday evening parts of a 2- year-old story by CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery on language used by State Sen. James Meeks, who is now a delegate pledged to Obama. Wow, all this in a story on problems plaguing the Barack Obama campaign, and I didn't even say Tony Rezko once.
