Picture of the Day
One of the things that has really made an impression on me is the very different, more modern way that the Obama team is crafting the images of their candidate.
While the Clinton team tries to show her supporters constantly, adoringly behind her, "the tried and true method," the Obama team seems to prefer to have their candidate surrounded and walking among the people. Notice how often you see Obama thronged while the Clinton events, even the handshakes, are orderly lines.
It's a very interesting presentation that coveys a different feeling towards the subject. In the visual metaphor, Clinton is a leader who we should listen to and follow while Obama is more "of the people."
Just something I've noticed. Something to watch.

Bobby Kennedy. For some reason when I see and hear Barack, I think of Bobby.

I keep getting Kennedy flashes, too although most of mine are JFK. (primarily because I know next to nothing about Bobby.)
Somebody different, a figure supported by the young. A figure of hope.....
But maybe those Kennedy echoes are semi intentional. Maybe that's what they're going for.

They're both bought and paid for by AIPAC. You can lose your boners, nothing will change if any of those two gets into the oval office. The only difference I see is that there are more potential jokes for Clinton (and perhaps some Jewish clerks under the table) than Obama.

Wow, didn't take long for the Jew-hating types to show up, did it? Is that what passes for "discourse" now?

Who said anything about hating Jews? If you're so damn fool to not see what AIPAC is doing, too bad for you and your countrymen. Just do me one favour, join the army, fight for America and die for Israel. We all win!
