For those Napsterites in the USA

Obama in Berlin:

"I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality...we've made our share of mistakes."

What a perfect place to badmouth the U.S. - Berlin - heart of Nazi atrocities and later America's Berlin Airlift. Not that the stupid fucks cheering him would have a clue, or a lot of the imbeciles here, but the irony is just so immense.

Being honest is never 'bad mouthing', it's admitting to the mistakes of our nation.

Like electing a moron to the Presidency, twice. Obama will be a welcome relief.

A bit of contrast for you:

Obama gives a speech in front of 200,000 Europeans chanting 'Obama' and 'USA USA USA!'

McCain gives a press conference in front of the cheese display bantering blatant bullshit..

I don't think Obama is going to win so easy , if at all
by all accounts he looks like he should win and win easily

The big butt is, Hillary's butt actually
if he doesn't choose her as a running mate it could open up a big hole for McCain
I wonder who else would he choose. Edwards?

Even if he does choose her.. I still have this feeling the Republicans have an ace up their sleeve or something.. that what looks like should be a romp in... will become too close to call ,and with more clever manipulation like the past elections they will somehow pull off the impossible. It's because he is such a cardboard cutout.. he is somewhat a perfect replacement for Bush and there's something about the neoconservative/military complex's agenda that reeks of unfinished business

I hate to be a pessimist because I hope Obama will win..
I just get the impression the whole system is so corrupt ,a genuine candidate that would bring about real change would never be allowed to win.

Clinton would be a massive mistake, but one he may take against my better judgement.

The main reason it would be such a mistake: the Republicans want him to choose her.

he should stay VERY well clear of her and her baggage and her husband.

I think so too.. I dislike her because she is a obviously a sell out to big money..but distancing himself from the Clinton admin legacy will give voters the sense of the 'unknown' and the Republicans will play it for everything they have got.

[Ðiego]

That's fine by me. Most of the country, when asked what they want from this election cycle, replied 'change'. Hillary isn't change any more than McCain is.

The people of the US believe, rightly [sic], that the country is headed in the wrong direction, and that isn't solved with an order of McSame w/cheese.

Ben Smith at Politico has a good story on McCain -v- Clinton:

Dept. of fake news: McCain defeats Clinton

A sharp-eyed Democrat sends in a rather surprising page from John McCain's site (screengrab here),which, in the form of a news story, offers quite a bit of detail about how McCain beat the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton.

In fact, it's from an email the McCain camp sent supporters last year.

Still, it's fun to read, if only for a reminder of how unpredictable this season has been.

the McCain campaign has now removed it from the site
