They've finally figured out that their beloved health care "reform" is going to remain a huge negative for them politically.
Noteworthy:
"Looping back to Mr. Obama's political advice, his government takeover of health care is unpopular because it is arguably the worst legislation since the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, and the voters know it. Still, it's amazing to see Democrats now pretend for election purposes that the bill they said would be an achievement for the liberal ages is something other than what they passed. Voters should demand DNA samples, aka, Democratic voting records."

Obama and the Race Card: Inexperience and hubris
The self-destructiveness of Obama is evident:
"Inexperience and hubris—the same overconfidence that makes him say we need a Pentagon-sized new civilian aid department, to inflate our tires to avoid drilling, and must stop merely talking about reparations and starting doing something about them. His handlers need to return to the teleprompter, since all these incidents have in common the impromptu moment."
-- Victor Davis Hanson

My My! Guess who handled security for Barry O'Bama's World Tour segment in Iraq?
NO!
Say it wasn't those evil killers at BLACKWATER!
Noteworthy:
"What’s more, Obama was overheard saying: 'Blackwater is getting a bad rap.'"

800 billion barrels of oil are waiting
The cache is three times larger than the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia.
Available domestically.
On federal land.
"...enough to meet U.S. demand for oil at current levels for 110 years."
Let's get started on this, and on other projects that will ease our dependence on foreign oil, and lower our oil costs NOW.
Excerpt:
"The reality is, should Congress overturn its offshore-drilling moratorium, those very same speculators are gonna start selling crude-oil futures contracts and price declines will filter backwards from the longer-term contracts to the cash market. In other words, what can be bought will be sold. If drilling expectations change on the hope that future oil supplies will rise, prices will adjust lower and it will happen fast. "

The Cone Project for 6-12-08: Obama and the tax treatment of capital gains
Over at Cone's, a discussion of tax policies of the two presumptive presidential nominees has revealed several things.
First, most of the Dem/Lefty/"Progressive"/Libthink /Alternately Clued crowd obviously does not understand why capital gains tax and ordinary income tax deserve different treatment. Here's a prime example.
Second, our pal Ed should know (or refuses to acknowledge) Obama's 28% figure for capital gains.
Third, none of the Obama cheerleaders/apologists have acknowledged Obama's HUGE proposed payroll tax increase by eliminating the income cap for Social Security taxes. It's the scheme he proposed before recent back-pedaling, but sure to find its way back into the deal should he fool enough people into voting for him in November.
Noteworthy excerpt from the Cato link:
"This reminds me of a conversation I had years ago with an economics professor from an Ivy League university. He told me that he once asked his left-wing colleagues whether they would support lower tax rates if they knew that tax revenues would rise. Most of them, he said, shared Obama’s viewpoint that punishing success was more important to the statist ideology than increasing revenue for government."
