A really interesting article on Obama's tax plan and how he has re-defined "tax cut" beyond the obvious meaning. There appear to be some real problems with his approach.
Quoted: For the Obama Democrats, a tax cut is no longer letting you keep more of what you earn. In their lexicon, a tax cut includes tens of billions of dollars in government handouts that are disguised by the phrase "tax credit."

Christopher Hitchens outline his thoughts on voting for Obama. In a nutshell, he's over-rated but McCain has shown erratic judgment (especially in his selection of Palin as a VP pick) and recent dishonesty. McCain doesn't appear to be learning much from his errors.

I'm actually a bit surprised to find the conservative "Economist" coming down on the side of Barack Obama and his plans for the economy.

click to playBarack Obama gave a great speech at the Jefferson Jackson Dinner yesterday in Iowa. In it, he gracefully snipes at his competitors without ever naming them, and gets the crowd riled up. I hope we see more of this Barack, because this one's a contender, and much more inspiring, personable, and conscience-driven than Hillary Clinton.
Quoted: Obama Fired Up and Ready to Go at the JJ Dinner

I wasn't aware that Obama has frozen out Fox News for reporting on him inaccurately and in a scurrilous manner. I think that's great.
Calling Fox's echo-chamber "news" is horribly inappropriate.
There is also a video on this page showing Barack's coverage on Fox to date.

Barack Obama meeting with the "New Yorker."
Quoted: The softspoken Obama, who during an appearance on Meet The Press yesterday admitted he would consider a run for the White House, openly criticized the Bush administration in front of 500 or so magazine executives during a wide-ranging, 45-minute discussion, occasionally with Remnick's prodding. "This is the most ideologically driven administration in my memory, so obstinate in resisting facts, dissenting opinions ... [They entered the White House] with a set of preconcieved notions." Obama said. "I think this administration has done great damage to this country."
