Another day, another lie by Bush. Click here to see him playing golf in 2003, months AFTER the war began

Subject: Hillary was right

Lisa,

Hillary was called a racist for saying Obama was losing votes among white working people. She was right. West Virginia proved that.

230+ super delegates are waiting in the wings.

This is the best primary ever and thanks for keeping me "laughing through political turmoil."

Jackson

You are very welcome, Jackson.

Those who threw the Clintons under the bus for Obama, media included, didn't affect the people of West Virginia. Or maybe it did.

Obama needs Hillary as much as she needs him. He has only won 2 out of nine primaries since Rev. Wright reared his ugly head.

Yes, this is the best primary ever and I'm enjoying it. Because once the general election begins, the GOP smear machine is waiting in the wings with Rev. Wright videos or Hillary Clinton "imaginary sniper videos". Or both.

And then the news will be really racist and sexist.

I think we're in for a wild ride.

Burning Bridges

Many in the Barack Obama camp, having outfoxed the apparently not-so-formidable Hillary Clinton machine, can't seem to get the hang of winning gracefully. They feel a need to drive a stake in Hillary Clinton's reputation, then dance. If they were smart, they'd heap praise on Clinton and let her finish out the race, however she chooses to do so.

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, right, greets Honda's ASIMO robot after it conducted the Detroit Symphony Orchestra as it performed 'Impossible Dream' during a concert in Detroit, Tuesday, May 13, 2008. Honda Motor Co. designed ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. ASIMO can run, walk on uneven slopes and respond to simple voice commands, but Honda says this is the first time ASIMO has ever conducted an orchestra. ASIMO can't respond to the players, but mimicked the actions of a conductor who was videotaped beforehand.
