New Obama Ad 'Dignity'
The ad will run in 18 states -- some of them longtime GOP strongholds that the Obama campaign is now apparently going to contest: Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia.

DLC National Conversation
The DLC meeting is on Chicago, a block from Obama Headquarters and Obama is a no-show.
What is more important here is that the DLC have decided to back Barack Obama. Yeah, like they had another choice?
Harold Ford, Jr. is the captain of this ship, that is just floating away.
The DLC meeting took place just across a small courtyard from the building that houses Obama's headquarters. While the campaign didn't make any overt effort to woo the group, senior Obama aides did meet with members during the conference, "many of whom are elected officials who have been involved with the campaign for a long time," said spokeswoman Amy Brundage.
Obama won the nomination without help from top DLC leaders, but that isn't stopping them from taking a little credit.
Yawn, and I mean a big one.
The DLC was a big proponent of the Clinton Adminstration. This is their core belief:
The Democratic Leadership Council was formed in the wake of Walter Mondale's huge loss to Ronald Reagan in 1984. The goal was to change the party's image and focus by stressing such issues as welfare reform, charter schools and business opportunity.
The group helped Bill Clinton win in 1992, although critics say it ignores Democratic principles and the poor and vulnerable who need the party's help. The group's president is a former Clinton aide, and Hillary Clinton heads its "American Dream Initiative."
Overall, the DLC has lost it. It has been lost it.
With none of the Democratic presidential candidates in attendance at last year's meeting either, it's fair to say the DLC has officially lost its mojo.

President George W. Bush Has Gall
George Bush had the gall to be grateful about the GI Bill and said thanked McCain. John McCain voted AGAINST THIS BILL. He of ALL PEOPLE should know what this bill means for our troops coming home from the war called Iraq. But Bush THANKS McCain for supporting this bill? This is a bunch of "you know what", Jim Webb looks like the VP we need, more each day. Video below:
