In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya.
Jim Geraghty suggests that Malik be investigated by Obama’s FightTheSmears.
Indeed……

Barack Obama Watch: Flipping On Iraq?
Barack Obama on April 5, 2004
Obama: Don’t Bring The Troops HomeSo, has Barack Obama opportunistically flipped on the Iraq War when war events went sour after 2004?Or is his Iraq War policy a LIE or an inconsistent NON-TRUTH?
So I guess what I’m getting to… is that Obama hasn’t been consistent… but that consistency is not the coin of this realm. The Obama campaign claims that Obama has made an evidenced-based assessment of what to do and will continue to do as president; as the facts on the ground change, he won’t stubbornly stick to preconceptions about what to do.
Me thinks this will be Town Hall and/or candidate debate fodder. Obama should explain what his policy WILL be regarding the Iraq War. Obama already flipped on his Iran preconditions for negotiation pronouncement.
Words have meaning, Senator.

Ron Paul Watch: It’s OVER Baby
Congressman Ron Paul, R-Texas
Ron Paul’s campaign for the Presidency is over.Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul will end his campaign Thursday night and announce a new effort to help elect libertarian-leaning Republicans to public office around the country.
Campaign spokesman Jesse Benton said the announcement, expected during a rally coinciding with the Texas GOP State Convention in Houston, was “not a disappointment at all. I think this is really exciting.”
Paul’s announcement will be a formality.
And, Paul will NOT endorse John McCain for President.
It was apparent that Paul would have NO role at the GOP Convention in September and he had already planned a mini alternative convention for his followers.
Paul’s impact on the GOP this fall = NONE.

Representative Paul E. Kanjorsk Admits Democrats LIED About Iraq War to be Elected
Congressman Kanjorski doesn’t apologize to anyone
Key Graph (besides the Congressman being an As**ole):
The man was trying to question Mr. Kanjorski about his remarks that Democrats had overpromised during the 2006 congressional elections by implying they could end the war if they controlled Congress.
“Now, anybody who is a good student of government would know that wasn’t true,†Mr. Kanjorski said at an Ashley town hall meeting in August. “But you know the temptation to want to win back Congress — we sort of stretched the facts, and people ate it up.â€
The Democrats can run but they can’t hide…..
How about an apology?

Will John McCain Support New Oil Drilling?
Michael Ramirez on the Democrat Plan of a Windfall Profits Tax on Oil CompaniesWill Senator and presumptive GOP candidate for President John McCain take the initiative, accept and then contrast GOP Congressional positions on oil drilling and increasing the supply of domestically produced oil with that of Barack Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress?American voters are pissed at the high gasoline prices and our dependence on the Middle East and dictators like Venezuela’s Hugh Chavez. So, what does McCain propose?
A summer gasoline tax holiday.
While this will provide some relief, the American people want a REAL plan.
The question is: Will McCain step up to the plate and grab this issue?

Barack Obama Watch: Birth Certificate Posted At Daily Kos
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.
Kos this morning posted a copy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate (“certification of live birth”). Flap’s and Geraghty’s questions have been answered.Flap continues to be surprised why Team Obama did not release the document when Obama first filed for office.
One would think…..

Barack Obama Watch: Another Obama VP Mistake – Eric Holder
Former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and Pardon Attorney Roger Adams testify on the pardon that former President Clinton gave to Marc Rich during a Senate Judiciary Hearing February 14, 2001 in Washington DC
Now that James Johnson has resigned as a member of Barack Obama’s Vice President search committee, Flap wonders why a character like Eric Holder continues to serve in the same capacity?In a new book about Bill Clinton, Clinton in Exile by Chicago author Carol Felsenthal, Holder — then the No. 2 man in the Clinton Justice Department, with responsibility for pardons — was seen as “so ambitious to be attorney general in the expected Gore administration” that he “played ball” with a Gore confidant, Jack Quinn, who was Rich’s lawyer. Felsenthal wrote that Holder ”adamantly denies there was any secret deal.”
Several people I talked to in Obama’s orbit were surprised that Obama tapped Johnson. For a candidate running on a change platform and against Washington, Johnson is an insider’s insider. He vetted vice presidential contenders for Walter Mondale in 1984 and John Kerry in 2004.
Alex Conant, spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said if Obama “is concerned his campaign’s ties to special interests are distracting from his VP search and message, why is Eric Holder still on his search committee,” adding “Obama’s hypocritical attacks show he can’t stand up to his own standard — and that he just isn’t ready to make change.”
As Chris Muir said in an earlier comment, PLUS CA CHANGE.

Jodie Evans of Code Pink – Another Left Wing Radical for Barack Obama
Jodie Evans being arrested at the Republican National Committee, September 2, 2004
Shocker!Another LEFTY RADICAL is raising money for Barack Obama.
A co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, which has made a name for itself by interrupting hearings on Capitol Hill, is a fundraising bundler for Barack Obama.
Jodie Evans has pledged to raise at least $50,000 for Obama, according the Democrat’s campaign site.
According to research being circulated by GOP sources, Evans has a record of inflammatory statements such as saying that women were better off in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, “Men are dying in their Hummers in Iraq so you can drive around in yours” and, my favorite, that the invasion of Iraq amounted to “global testosterone poisoning.”
Ed Morrissey has a lot MORE.
Listen to Evans on Osama Bin Laden:
Is this type of radical Obama wants associated with his campaign? And, raising money for HIS CAMPAIGN?
Obviously, the associations are starting to pile up for the Senator who is the “most liberal” in the United States Senate.
Look at this photo:
Cindy Sheehan, Jodie Evans, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Medea Benjamin, January 28, 2006
Maybe Obama should just form a campaign group – VIOLENT RADICALS FOR OBAMA and be done with it?
What does this say about Obama’s character and judgment. Is this who the American people want cavorting around the White House with the President of the United States?
