"Today, President Bush gave a news conference about the economy, but he stubbornly refused to say the word 'recession.' He would not say the word 'recession.' Instead, President Bush said our country is headed towards something with three syllables that rhymes with refression." --Conan O'Brien

Subject: Obama
Hi Lisa,
[yesterday] you wrote:
"Last month, Obama called Wright his "crazy uncle" when
presented with the crazy quotes by Wright. ( see cartoon below by Daryl Cagle on
March 17, 2008 ) But yesterday, almost a month and a half later, he said he was
outraged by Wright. It sure takes Obama a long time to be outraged. Poor Obama,
the GOP is going to eat him alive."
You are so right about that. After his stupid "bitter" comment the guy slinked
out of PA before they even counted the votes. And Wright is going to follow
Obama wherever he goes, the Repugs will see to that. If Obama gets the
nomination, this will be a very close election.
Hang in there,
Rick
Poor Barack, the GOP Smear Train is getting ready to run him down.

Swift Boating Obama
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) today praised Sen. Barack Obama for denouncing his former pastor, but warned that Republicans will use the association to try to "Swift Boat" the Illinois senator if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee this fall.

"Let me
ask you a question. Are you sick and tired of the Democratic presidential
primary? I mean, well, Hillary, of course, wants another debate. ... That's
right. You heard me. Wants another debate. She says she got nothing more to say
really. She just wants to show off a new pantsuit." --David Letterman

"The president was also at the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend. He did a little comedy routine there, too. And, he grabbed the baton and conducted the Marine Corps band [on screen: video of Bush conducting the band]. The man leading that band is also leading this country. And I think he did a better job with the band." --Jimmy Kimmel
