Glenn McCoy on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

Dick Morris has it RIGHT.

By the time the August Denver Democrat Convention comes around Hillary will be tanned and rested waiting for the draft.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., hugs Pamela Cash-Roper after she spoke at his economy speech, Monday, June 9, 2008, at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, N.C. Roper, a lifelong Republican, told the crowd that she and her husband are struggling because of medical problems, losing their jobs and the high price of gas and prescription drugs.

Barack Obama has been accused of flipping on his Iran policy and now is he adopting Hillary Clinton’s health care plan with Elizabeth Edwards as the spokeswoman?

Obama’s speech in Raleigh launching his economy tour is underway, and towards the end, during a discussion of health care, he drops a surprise aside that wasn’t in the speech’s prepared remarks:

“By the way, I’m going to be partnering with Elizabeth Edwards, we’re going to be figuring all this out.”

As you recall, Elizabeth Edwards was critical of Obama’s plan a few months ago.

Edwards said she believed Clinton’s health-care plan was more inclusive than that of Obama’s.

“You need that universality in order to get the cost savings. … I just have more confidence in Sen. Clinton’s policy than Sen. Obama’s on this particular issue,” she said.

So, who is flipping here?

1. Barack Obama

2. Elizabeth Edwards

3. All of the above

Much of his convention speech, and the subject of his 1995 memoir “Dreams From My Father,” focused on his diverse family. Born in Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961, Obama was the son of a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya who left to study economics at Harvard, and then returned to Kenya, seeing his son just once afterwards. Obama was raised by his mother’s parents. In 2006, he visited his father’s mother in Kenya.

Since Team Obama hounded Cindy McCain to release her tax returns at the very least Team Obama should be willing to release Barack’s Hawaii birth certificate. They are not public in Hawaii.

And, he could place these rumors to rest:

• Obama was born in Kenya and not a “natural born citizen” as the US. Constitution requires for the Presidency

• Obama’s middle name is not “Hussein” but “Muhammad”

• Is his REAL name Barack or Barry?

In all honesty, releasing and publicly disclosing a certified copy of your birth certificate should be routine when running for the Presidency.

Why the delay?

There REALLY is no excuse.

Michael Ramirez on Hillary Clinton

Michael Penn, a chief strategist for Team Hillary wrote yesterday that the campaign was about money and Flap said it wasn’t.

And, it isn’t.

Eighteen million votes: $212 million. Some 1,926 delegates: $109,823 a pop. Blowing the biggest head start in presidential history: priceless.

From anointed to also-ran, Hillary Clinton spent more money to lose a primary election than any candidate in Democratic Party history.

That is alot of scratch…….

In the first week of the general election Presidential race where do the candidates stand?

• Barack Obama – 304 Electoral Votes

• John McCain – 234 Electoral Votes

270 Votes wins the Presidency

The battleground states are clear. Should John McCain win Michigan (17 Electoral Votes) and Ohio (20 Electoral Votes) on the map above he wins 271 Electoral Votes and is the next President of the United States.

Flap thinks McCain will be campaigning in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania where Hillary Clinton beat Obama, especially with white working class voters the majority of the time. And, this may be an indication as to why McCain chooses Mitt Romney as his Vice President – Michigan.

Stay tuned…….
