Things just aren't going too well for Sen. Obama lately and the poll numbers are showing the trend, as are the favorability numbers. Electability is the only game in this town. Everything else pales in comparison. Hillary is coming on strong as the best candidate for the fall election against Sen. McCain.

It isn't just one thing with Obama, it's a bunch of things. Right now, though, the media just happens to be concentrating on one thing--Rev. Wright. Once they get tired of that one, there are a bunch of other issues to focus on. That's why he can't be our nominee. Someone like Rove would have so many goodies to choose from.

ABC News is reporting that the prior statements of Barack Obama is which he denies having met with Iraqi-born billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, contradicts the testimony of the federal government's star witness in the trial of indicted political fixer Tony Rezko.

The Obama campaign has maintained that Obama had no recollection of meeting Auchi "at any time or occasion," but today a Chicago Sun Times columnist reports that a source claims Obama had not only attended the April 2004 event but also "made a few toasts."

AND THIS IS THE MAN THAT WANTS TO "CHANGE AMERICA". He can't even be honest with the voters. Why is the Obama campaign having a representative sitting in on the trial and taking notes, does Obama have something to hide from the voters? apparently he does. In America we don't take a liking to people that lie and deceive in order to gain support.

Senator Barack Obama has been welcomed by America's mainstream media with open arms, due in part to a sincere desire in the hearts of a majority of Americans to get beyond race and move this country into a new era of understanding.  Sadly, I believe they have anointed the wrong person to take us there.

Whatever conciliatory words were spoken in Obama's recent speech to bring us together, there is a lingering unease that somehow we are being hoodwinked. Bamboozled. You know, the old okie-doke.
