Dinesh D'Souza is a PIECE OF SHIT. Straight up. His logical thinking in putting this Obama 2016 movie together vears from basic logic. Bill Maher tore him a NEW ONE when he categorically destroyed his premise for this movie.
And the AP Factchecking states: "Anti-colonial" Obama not plausible"
Seriously, there is so much bullshit out here that is incorrect, you seriously got to dig through it to find the truth, IF YOU CAN.
There was a diary on the Daily Kos rec list earlier today about how Bill Moyers was specific and on point about health care in America. (note: the video was not available at that time)
Moyers was not shy, afraid, scared but he took the Democratic Party to task.
The main issue that stood out for me, Moyers blasting of the money and its influence that is running all through the Democratic Party.
Moyers took Rahm Emmanuel to task, as a corporate Democrat. He explained and exposed that the money Obama will need for re-election is from the very entity that we are fighting against.
If we don't pass meaningful health care reform, don't put Ted Kennedy's name on it. If what we get because of the influence of heavy money in our party a very watered down bill, that is not health care reform. And the ones that voted for Barack Obama and the Democrats will know it.

This video says it all, because we do have "two corporate parties, the Republicans and the Democrats". And the money that influence bad legislation in D.C., always tend to win. Let's not let that happen this time.

Yes, discussion on Bill Maher and even on ABCs This Week about John and Elizabeth Edwards is fodder at this point. An issue that should be done with has been reopened by Elizabeth Edwards appearance on Oprah last week and her book that she is pushing. Along with re-opening this can is the examination of the truth of what both, John and Elizabeth Edwards has said on this matter and how it is not stacking up. But the biggest question here is why? Why even go down this road? And this question, again is for Elizabeth Edwards. Tomorrow she is on the Today Show and I don't see the questions getting nicer, but in fact harder for her to answer at this point. This is what you get when you re-open a can of worms. It is all pretty nasty. Can we just wipe our brow and be glad this bullet was dodged?

Folks, Michael Eric Dyson is another one you don't f*ck with if you don't have your facts straight. The smack down he gave Andrew Braitbart was classic. Bill Maher didn't have to say a word, Dyson said it all.

Democratic Voter Registration Up, Republican Down
With all the hoopla around Sarah Palin, let's remember to keep our eyes on the prize.
One thing about the Obama Campaign, if you have been following, is upon conception this campaign has committed resources to state building. Barack has followed the lead started by Howard Dean of 2004. Building up our states to bring more competitive races with strong candidates, a presence of the Democratic Party, and the ability to perform massive GOVT (Get out the vote).
As Barack built ground operations all across this country, you saw activity awaken. Many people who had given up on grass roots activities in states like North Carolina, Georgia, Montana, etc. started to get involved again. With the candidacy of Barack, many new voters stepped up and came forward. You saw the results of this hard work by Barack's initial win in Iowa. Many did not believe he would win, but it was the ground operation, which was stellar and I was there in Cedar Rapids, which brought that victory.
Through all these months, wow it seems like years, the main focus was voter registration drives. From the grassroots operations across this country, the Obama Campaign made voter registration their number one focus along with building state operations. Now we are seeing massive numbers.
Five days a week, Linda Graham trolls tattered neighborhoods of this once thriving steel city outside Pittsburgh for unregistered voters she can sign up as Democrats — one of thousands of unknown volunteers whose work outside the limelight has already altered the basic arithmetic of the November election.
The epic nomination battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton helped put millions more Democrats on the voter rolls while Republican registration declined. Now Graham, 45, has taken three months of unpaid leave from her job at Pittsburgh's Central Blood Bank in the hope of adding to those gains before the presidential vote.
She's encouraged by the response here. "They're all feeling the crunch" of lost jobs and a sagging economy, Graham said. "But people are feeling empowered. They're feeling like, you know what, I hold a little bit of power in this."
To counter this effort, the Republicans are counting on a formidable, high-tech get-out-the-vote operation that has helped them win the past two presidential elections.
Since the last federal election in 2006, volunteers like Graham combined with the enthusiasm generated by the Obama-Clinton struggle to add more than 2 million Democrats to voter rolls in the 28 states that register voters according to party affiliation. The Republicans have lost nearly 344,000 thousand voters in the same states.
The Democrats hope their voter registration efforts can boost Obama to victory in competitive states like Pennsylvania, Nevada and Florida and perhaps even give him a shot at winning traditional Republican states like Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. continue
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., hit a couple swanky Garden State fundraisers this evening, starting at the house of Democratic National Committee treasurer Phil Murphy and his wife Tammy.
“Are you guys fired up?” bellowed Gov. Jon Corzine to the $2,300-per-person crowd. “You better be, because I think you’re liquored up!”
Obama again said that the GOP convention didn’t discuss solutions to problems facing ordinary Americans, unlike the Democratic gathering.
“The Republicans had a different approach to their convention,” he said. “They had a different theory, which was that ‘We are just sarcastic. We spent a lot of time talking about John McCain’s admittedly compelling biography, and we spent a lot of time lying about Barack’ -- that, somehow that’s a political philosophy or an economic theory.”
Obama told the appreciative crowd, “They don’t have a record to run on, so what they’re going to do is they’re going to try and just tear me down. Because it worked four years ago, and it worked eight years ago, you can’t blame them for trying it again, but I don’t think it’s going to work this time.” continue
