Saunter To The White House 100 ; McCain Advisor Goes Back To Terror To Win

John McCain's chief campaign advisor has said that a further terrorist attack on the United States would give his candidate a "big advantage".

Despite the fact that this is the bleeding obvious, it shouldn't be said, by anyone in the campaign and especially by anyone who's the head of a campaign. Senator McCain has distanced himself from the comments by Charlie Black.

Tell The Truthiness ; Just for once in this millennium, can the GOP not campaign on scaring people into voting for them, the 'vote democrat and die' strategy belongs in the past.

Saunter To The White House 99 ; 15 Points - The Obama Bounce

A Newsweek poll has Barack Obama at a 15% lead nationally over John McCain.

Wow.

Yes, it is only June, but this much shows either how things haven't really kicked into gear yet or how much better organised Barack Obama's campaign is compared to John McCain.

Tell The Truthiness ; The only numbers though that really matter are the votes on the 4th of November.

Saunter To The White House 98 ; Bush/McCain No Differences Ad

Here's the MoveOn.org advert for trying to tell the differences between President Bush and John McCain with John Cusack :



Plus, here's John Cusack's interview with Keith Olbermann from Friday evening :

Holding Them To Account 17 ; CBS News Chief Correspondent Slams War Coverage

Its now an open secret that the pre invasion coverage and the current coverage of Iraq has been restrained by the networks and other media. Here is an interview with CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan in which she tells us all that we had know, but much of which has been unsaid on mainstream TV.



Tell The Truthiness ; We need an avalanche of insight like this to get the coverage to truly reflect was is going on in Iraq and why we are still there.

War On Reality Part 93 ; It's All About The Oil First, Iraqis Second

As we reported over a year ago, the plans to get control of Iraq's oil reserves into the hands of Western corporations, were detailed before the invasion and have quietly been advanced in the last five years.



Now, 36 years after Iraq nationalised it's oil industry, Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total and BP are coming back in to pump oil and make billions. Iraq has the fourth largest oil reserve in the World, after Saudi Arabia, Canada and Iran. The four companies have been given 'no bid' contracts because, as an Iraqi Oil Ministry spokesman said they had been advising the ministry without charge for two years before being awarded the contracts.

What a coincidence.

Tell The Truthiness ; So, congratulations to Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total and BP for acting like a greedy heir spending time with a rich elderly relative for no good reason to get their hands on the assets at the opportune moment. Like we said, it's a total coincidence.

Saunter To The White House 97 ; Back Off Barack's Family

The GOP has been told by it's own, Mike Huckabee, to lay off Barack Obama's family. The former presidential candidate said that trying to "demonise" the Democratic nominee wasn't the way to go and would not work.

Meanwhile, Obama said that he wouldn't consider making Cindy McCain a campaign issue.

Finally, Michelle Obama guest hosted on The View on ABC and did her bit to fight the fluff about her fist bump, by bumping with all the other hosts when she arrived on set. Further, she said how much of an admirer she is of First Lady Laura Bush. The video is below.



Tell The Truthiness ; Families are off limits, will John McCain and the Republican Party adhere to this?

Saunter To The White House 96 ; McCain For Offshore Drilling, Like Brother Bush

The President is going to make efforts on Wednesday to overturn the ban on offshore drilling. Which is handy for some, since John McCain is in favour of this, despite changing his mind from previously being against this.

Tell The Truthiness ; A vote for McCain is a vote for a third Bush term? Seems pretty accurate.

Saunter To The White House 95 ; Jon Stewart Calls Out The Insane Media On Obama

You have to watch this on how un-dangerous Barack Obama really is ;

Saunter To The White House 94 ; Al Gore Endorses Obama Shocker

Ok, so it's not a huge shock, but it took him a while and maybe could have had a greater impact if it had come sooner.

Still, it's good Al Gore has done it.

Tell The Truthiness ; We can see Gore and Obama doing a SNL sketch together, someone contact Lorne Michaels.

War On Reality Part 92 ; Bush Bin Laden Hunt, Catch The Pigeon

Never one to underestimate the effect of a big announcement or arrival, George Bush is to try and catch Osama Bin Laden.

The President insisted on flying into London's Heathrow airport, because of the maximum media coverage. This was despite the huge disruption it caused. Well, today he's reported to have asked UK special forces to assist in a final push to find Osama Bin Laden.

You may remember at the back end of 2001 the President was meant to get him and never did, because he got distracted by shiny things and invading Iraq. Well now, Bush wants to give it one last go before he's ran out of Washington on a rail in January. This is despite the thin 'proof' that Bin Laden is directly responsible for the September 11th attacks. Shown here with his 'wanted' page not reporting him responsible for the attack. Plus, the cosy relationship between Bin Laden and US government agencies. So much so that he received US medical treatment in July 2001.

Tell The Truthiness ; If Bush did 'catch' Bin Laden, it'd pretty much secure McCain winning the election, as long as he doesn't fall asleep.

Keith Olbermann's Effect On TV News

Here's an interesting article from The New Yorker about Keith Olbermann, his style and the effect he's having on news.

Tell The Truthiness ; Interesting to read about impartiality on news being virtually impossible to achieve and possible damaging.

PS We love the caricature of Keith.

Saunter To The White House 93 ; Obama Fills Sandbags In Illinois

With a disaster that some are calling "our version of Katrina", Barack Obama got himself stuck in, filling sandbags in Illinois.

Tell The Truthiness ; We don't know where John McCain was, but he wasn't doing this.

The Lame Duck Goes For A Waddle

With little to do at home, President Bush has gone for a jolly to Europe and this afternoon meets Prime Minister Gordon Brown to talk about his favourite subject ; Iraq.

Bush is in London for two days at the end of a six day tour of Europe. He is trying to shore up the UK effort in Iraq.

Tell The Truthiness ; Hope Mr Bush enjoys his time out of the Washington Pond.

Saunter To The White House 92 ; The World Is Waiting On The US To Change

The World can feel change in the air, how about you USA? That's the results of a poll showing that the World wants change in the US and it wants Barack Obama to do it.

Tell The Truthiness ; The people have spoken, it's up to you US.

Holding Them To Account 16 ; Bush Detainee Game Is Up

The US Supreme Court has said that prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are entitled to challenge their detention in court.

This seems to be the time that everything President Bush has championed since 2001 is coming home to roost.

Tell The Truthiness ; The cracks are getting bigger, wait for the collapse.

Holding Them To Account 15 ; A Hero Stands Up & Says "Enough"

It came from an unexpected person and without warning. But was welcomed by a large number of people.



Conservative MP David Davis, the shadow home secretary, resigned yesterday afternoon to protest against the Labour government plan to detain terrorist suspects for 42 days without charge. His resignation will trigger a by-election, which he plans to fight on the issue of civil liberties.

He made a speech on the steps of the House Of Commons in which he rallied against ID cards, CCTV cameras and the increase in the length of detention without trial or charge for terrorist suspects.

Tell The Truthiness ; It only takes one person to stand up and say "no", but we know it will take more individuals to stand up, as Mr Davis leads the way. We are not going to surrender our common law rights, no matter how much some people try and scare us into submission.

Holding Them To Account 14 ; Scott McClellan To Testify For Committee

Scott McClellan, former Press Secretary, is to testify to a House Judiciary Committee.

The date for his appearance is 20th June.

Tell The Truthiness ; And there were people saying that this guy was going to fade into the background, doesn't seem like it.

Switching Off The Fluff & Switching On The Race, Networks Coverage Wins

An interesting piece here about the huge upturn in viewers for the primary season. It's from Entertainment Weekly, but it's a really good piece.

Saunter To The White House 91 ; See Hillary Clinton's Speech Ending Her Campaign, Endorsing Obama

Saunter To The White House 89 ; McCain/Bush, What's The Difference?

John McCain has been getting a pretty easy ride with everyone's attention being on the Democratic campaign for nominee.

Well, not anymore.

John McCain has flipped his position on warrantless wiretapping of the public, making him look like an identikit of the President's position. All this, just a few days after he tried to dismiss suggestions that a vote for him was a vote for a third Bush term

Tell The Truthiness ; We can bet that this is just the start of McCain's switching of views, as he tries to get support from the far right-wing.

HISTORY IS MADE

Barack Obama will tonight become the United States first black nominee for president. With just 11 delegates left to reach the count and Hillary Clinton being tipped for the Vice President position, tonight, history is made.

Tell The Truthiness ; For our 500th post, we could never have imagined this would be the story. The future is here.

Saunter To The White House 88 ; Obama Countdown - 12 Delegates To Go

Barack Obama is 12 delegates away from the nomination.

Saunter To The White House 87 ; Obama Countdown - 14.5 Delegates

Barack Obama needs just 14.5 delegates and/or superdelegates to gain the required number for the Democratic nomination for President.

Tell The Truthiness ; At this rate, Montana and South Dakota's delegates won't be needed.

Saunter To The White House 86 ; Obama Countdown - 20.5 To Go

Barack Obama is now 20.5 delegates/superdelegates away from winning the nomination as Democratic candidate for President.

Tell The Truthiness ; And to think, the polls in Montana and South Dakota haven't closed yet!

Saunter To The White House 85 ; Clinton Open To Being VP

Hillary Clinton, according to the Associated Press, has told New York congressional colleagues she'd be open to being the Vice Presidential candidate if it helps unite the Democratic party.

Tell The Truthiness ; Fancy that!

Saunter To The White House 84 ; Obama Countdown - 27.5 Delegates Away

Barack Obama, according to MSNBC, is now down to only needing 27.5 delegates or superdelegates endorsement to gain the nomination.

Tell The Truthiness ; Waiting for that 0.5 to endorse, can't wait!

Saunter To The White House 83 ; Clinton To Accept Obama Has The Number, But Fight On?

How the heck does this work?

Hillary Clinton is going to accept that Barack Obama is the nominee, but they're going to not give up?

Tell The Truthiness ; Terry McAuliffe isn't in the same state he was after that 'lively' appearance on Morning Joe is he?

Saunter To The White House 82 ; AP Goes All Out To Scoop Everyone

The Associated Press is reporting through discussions with delegates, Barack Obama now has enough to be the Democratic nominee.

Tell The Truthiness ; Is someone from the Clinton campaign going to come out now and declare this incorrect?

Saunter To The White House 81 ; Obama Countdown - Needs 32.5 delegates

After the latest endorsements by Ohio House Democratic Leader Joyce Beatty and Maine superdelegate Jennifer Dechant, Barack Obama now needs 32.5 delegate and/or superdelegates to get the required number.

Tell The Truthiness ; Who is the 0.5 and are they less functional than other members of the DNC, because they're half?

Saunter To The White House 80 ; Obama Countdown - Needs 37.5 Delegates

Barack Obama needs 37.5 delegates to have enough for the nomination as of 8am this morning Eastern time.

Tell The Truthiness ; Is it especially painful if you're the 0.5 of a delegate?

Saunter To The White House 79 ; Obama Countdown - Needs 42 Delegates

Barack Obama needs 42 delegates to clinch the nomination.

Word is that his campaign team is working furiously to get as many uncommitted superdelegates to make their choice before the end of tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.

Tell The Truthiness ; We are in the end game.

Saunter To The White House 78 ; Clinton Chair Starts Self-Parodying

Clinton campaign chair Terry McAuliffe has slipped into self-parody this morning on Morning Joe.

Does Hillary know that McAuliffe appeared like this, has she seen this video?

For the one and only time we're going to say this, Hillary Clinton is the only sane person left in her campaign!

Tell The Truthiness ; But when did Hillary's campaign chair become sponsored by Tommy Bahamas?

Saunter To The White House 77 ; Hillary Calls Meeting For Tomorrow, Planning To Suspend Campaign

A meeting has been arranged for tomorrow night by the Hillary Clinton team during which she's expected to suspend her campaign.

Tomorrows meeting in New York is different to others as major campaign backers and donors have been invited, which is increasingly being seen as a sign that Hillary Clinton is to announce that she is not going to contest her position.

Other reports are saying that staff are being laid off and staffers are being asked to hand in their expense receipts by the end of the week.

Tell The Truthiness ; Get those Clinton '08 signs on ebay now!

Saunter To The White House 75 ; Puerto Rico Goes For Clinton, But It Doesn't Help

Puerto Rico went for Hillary Clinton in today's third to last primary, but it won't really matter.

After yesterday's decisions made by the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, Hillary Clinton may have gained delegates that she fought for, but it's not really helped. Barack Obama is 66 delegates away after the readjusted nomination number to 2118.

Tell The Truthiness ; Hillary Clinton - The Campaign That Just Won't Die! Now Playing For Two More Days Only!

Half & Half ; What's Good Enough For Florida Is Good Enough For Michigan

Sources once again are saying that a deal is close on seating the Michigan delegates in pretty much the same way as the Florida delegates.

The day-long DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee meeting is to seat the Michigan delegates, giving them each half a vote, just like the Florida solution. No word yet though on how the delegates are going to be awarded between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Tell The Truthiness ; In the future, will today's goings on be referred to as The Florida Solution/The Michigan Solution? Guess it depends on how it's received by party members, democrats and the voters.

BREAKING NEWS GUESS? ; Michigan To Take All Day?

The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee's decision on Michigan, compared to the decision just made on Florida, is a whole other kettle of fish.

The idea of splitting the delegation in half between Clinton and Obama has been rejected by the Clinton camp. To make matters more confused, Senator Carl Levin is due to speak at the meeting on behalf of Michigan and demand the seating all the delegates and full votes for them.

Tell The Truthiness ; Florida, piece of cake. Michigan, this could take all night. Should we ring for a pizza?

BREAKING NEWS ; Florida Delegates To Be Seated At Half A Vote Each

Sources inside the discussions on what to do about the Florida and Michigan delegates have said that an agreement has been reached for the Sunshine State.

Floridian delegates will be seated at the Denver Convention, with half a vote each, this gives Hillary Clinton a gain of twelve delegates.

There is no mention of the superdelegates, or yet, on what the plan is for Michigan.

Tell The Truthiness ; We'll update you as it happens.

MSNBC Gets It From The Left & The Right

Here's an interesting report on MSNBC being accused of bias in coverage of the race for the white house and the bush administration.

It's interesting to point out that for the last few years Keith Olbermann has defended himself from being called liberal by saying that when he covered the Monica Lewinsky story he wasn't accused of being right wing.

Here's a Bill Moyers interview, in three parts, with Keith Olbermann. The second part begins with Keith talking about that moment in the Bill Clinton presidency.

Part 1 ;



Part 2 ;



Part 3 ;



Tell The Truthiness ; When things are skewed to one side, you have to create a rebalance by moving across to the other side of the spectrum. That's what's happening in US media and politics right now. It's a natural rebalance.

Holding Them To Account 13 ; Bush Whacked On Iraq By Former Press Secretary

Excerpts from former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's book have been published and they slam the President's case for war with Iraq. He talks about Bush using propaganda to push the case for war and the media going easy on the administration in its justification for the invasion.

Tell The Truthiness ; Well done Scott McClellan on revealing the truth from someone who was on the inside.

Saunter To The White House 74 ; 7 Days Left, What's In Store?

Just seven days is the duration left before the primary season ends for the Democrats.

June 3rd is the date that Howard Dean said he wanted to see the nomination contest finish.

Tell The Truthiness ; Over a year has been a long contest, but a week is a long time in politics and who knows just what these next seven days will reveal... if only Hillary had a flux capacitor and a DeLorean.

Saunter To The White House 73 ; Obama Plans The Endgame With Superdelegates

With the primaries entering the last three contests, Barack Obama is lining up endorsements from superdelegates from those states to bring the nomination to a close.

Saunter To The White House 72 ; Obama 'Too Many Supporters' To Be Proccessed

The Federal Election Commission is struggling to cope with the number of supporters that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that have donated money to the campaigns.

A sense of how big and different the Obama campaign is and has been was shown when their fundraising report wasn't able to be processed by the 'off-the-shelf' applications such as Microsoft Excel.

Tell The Truthiness ; An amazing case where the current governments functions and methods of operation are being made outdated by the future government. We are seeing history in the making.

Saunter To The White House 71 ; Clinton's Assassination Reference, The End For Her?

Hillary Clinton has got herself into a bottomless pit by invoking the notion that 'anything can happen' including the assassination of a candidate the race for nomination.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama's campaign and the certainty of his nomination has become clearer with him gaining five superdelegates, while Hillary Clinton lost one.

Tell The Truthiness ; When is someone in the Hillary Clinton camp going to step-up and tell her it's over?

Saunter To The White House 70 ; 65 Is The Magic Number

65 delegates is the number that Barack Obama needs to reach the 2,026 to get the democratic nomination for President after last night's primaries.

Yes Clinton won Kentucky, as everyone expected, but the number of delegates she got, once again for her, are practically pointless.

Tell The Truthiness ; 65 delegates, that's all it takes and Puerto Rico's next.

Senator Ted Kennedy Has Malignant Brain Tumour

Such terrible news for a man who is the nearest person US politics has to a founding father.

Here he is in fine form in January with the Kennedy's Obama endorsement and that almost prophetic phrase, "I feel CHANGE in the air, what about you?!"

We are thinking of you Ted.

Saunter To The White House 69 ; Teetering On The Brink Of Certainty

Today, it's predicted that Barack Obama will get a majority of pledged delegates in this long race to the democratic nomination.

Oregon is expected to go heavily for Obama, while Kentucky goes for Clinton. But the number count for Obama will not yet hit the nomination number.

Tell The Truthiness ; How close will Obama get to the number and how much more a hint does Clinton need? Perhaps 80,000 hints?

War On Reality Part 91 ; Bush Compares Obama To Nazi Appeasers

Yes, you read it right. Despite the fact President Bush refused to get drawn into the race to find his replacement, he changed that today when talking about his favourite subject, terrorism and how to deal with it.

Tell The Truthiness ; After recent revelations about the President's opinion of playing golf and how that relates to war in a distant country, executed by him, this news should be dismissed as the chatter of an irrelevant man.

The post-Bush era has already arrived.

Saunter To The White House 66 ; Edwards Endorses Obama OFFICIAL

The Obama campaign has confirmed that tonight's 7pm endorsement of the Senator will be from former Presidential candidate John Edwards.

Saunter To The White House 65 ; Clinton West Virginia Win Is Too Little & Late

Yes, Hillary Clinton won the state of West Virginia by 67%, but at this point in the race, is practically unusable.

If Senator Clinton had been winning the early states at the start of the year, by this majority and with the consistency that Barack Obama had, then she wouldn't be deluding herself right now.

Tell The Truthiness ; There's a point at which it's brave to stay in the race and there's a point where it simply becomes cringing to stay in. Hillary Clinton is baring down on the latter with the force of a train racing round a bend far too fast.

She's about to jump the tracks.

Saunter To The White House 64 ; Edwards To Endorse Obama, Tonight?

There will be a "major national endorsement" for Barack Obama tonight at 7pm Eastern.

John Edwards has been dropping hints, such as his use of the word, well, "him", in this video.

You could skip to 9 minutes 45 seconds, where he drops the word, if you're that impatient.



Tell The Truthiness ; Is this going to be the final act in Hillary Clinton's campaign if it is a John Edwards endorsement?

Saunter To The White House 63 ; By How Much Will Clinton Win West Virginia? Not THAT Much!

Some Clinton supporter didn't do the Senator any favours when they got rather excited at a rally and said she'd win West Virginia by "80-20".

It got worse, they then went right over the top and said "or 90-10".

Tell The Truthiness ; Some reality came out of the campaign after that when they rebuffed the prediction with, "we appreciate his exuberance, but we're pretty sure this race is going to be much closer than that.”

Now if only they'd been realistic like that back in January Hillary's future might have been different.

Saunter To The White House 61 ; But There Is A Slightly Ironic Silver Lining For Clinton

Hillary Clinton can dismiss the news about the campaign debt by feeling consoled at the polls which show her ahead in tomorrow's West Virginia primary.

Tell The Truthiness ; It's called the Bradley Effect, which there is debate about, because it may be 'reversing' during this primary season, it's an interesting subject to read about.

Saunter To The White House 60 ; Clinton Has Big Debts

The Hillary Clinton campaign is faced with a debt of $20 million according to reports.

Meanwhile numerous rumours continue that even more money may be lent to the campaign by Senator Clinton.

Tell The Truthiness ; How's this money going to be repaid?

Saunter To The White House 58 ; Obama Takes More Superdelegates

In another numbers story (well, an election really comes down to just the numbers in the end), Barack Obama has overtaken Hillary Clinton in the number of committed Superdelegates.

The above video gives a good description of the maths, but isn't specifically about the superdelgates, however, it's great seeing simple whiteboards to explain this mammoth contest. Well done Tim Russert!

The Illinois senator now has 267 to the New York senator's 265 after the support of an additional three superdelgates was announced since this weeks primaries.

Tell The Truthiness ; Three for none, it's a good score.

War On Reality Part 90 ; Talk About Delayed Reaction

The US government has finally removed all terrorist and terrorism references to Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) party on databases.

Even having been released from prison in 1990 and elected to office in 1994, Nelson Mandela and fellow members of the ANC had to obtain a special waiver to allow access to the US.

Tell The Truthiness ; Well done to Condoleezza Rice for pushing for this to be finally changed, but if this is the way the administration treats democratically elected leaders, it makes you shudder to think how they treat everyone else.

The Reverend Wright story seems to lose any sort of effect when, just hours afterwards, more superdelegates move for Obama. This shows just how much, as the primaries rumble on, that the numbers are what it is all coming down to.

Tell The Truthiness ; As the delegate count is tipped in Obama's favour, so the same is happening for the superdelegate count.

War On Reality Part 88 ; Five Years Later From Mission Accomplished

This date marks five years since President Bush stood beneath a huge banner emblazoned with the legend Mission Accomplished. He said that major combat operations had finished in the country and that the US had won.

How wrong he was and how wrong he has been continually ever since. Some people rally against the critics of the current government headed by a guy who would be out of his depth in a puddle, but they forget to see the bigger picture. In decades, in centuries to come, historians and students will analyse this period in our history and say one thing.

"What the hell were the people doing to stop him and hold him to account?"

Tell The Truthiness ; President Bush is still the President and will be until January, as such, our current obsession over the presidential campaigns should not make Mr Bush any less accountable for his actions, whether they are from five days or five years ago.
