- I caught Senator Obama's stump speech today in Montana, and I think he’s been very effective at countering President Bush’s remarks in Israel suggesting that anyone who wants to sit down and talk to people like the Iranians are appeasers. He is punching back with good arguments and doesn’t sound at all defensive. Kerry and Gore always sounded defensive, and therefore weak, whenever they tried to fight back.
- All media may be lame but TV is the worst. NBC makes me crazy. First Tim Russert, blowhard extraordinaire, interviews Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) on Meet the Press Sunday, and practically nominates him for Vice President. What a wet kiss, softball exchange. This morning “NBC-medical-correspondent-Dr.-Nancy-Schneiderman” diagnoses Ted Kennedy from the video of him being loaded into the ambulance (by several strong men). What is the point? Finally, Richard Engle had an “exclusive” interview with President Bush. What does that mean, exactly? That no other network was interviewing W. at that exact moment?
- Senator Obama is warning the Republicans to “lay off my wife” after the Tennessee Republican party ran this ad: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YmWEaqxkGtU
What do you think? Is the ad fair or not?

Michelle Obama: the new Hillary
Think of an Ivy League lawyer with a corporate job that pays more than that of her Ivy League lawyer politician husband. Imagine maybe she thinks that since she’s higher paid, maybe he isn’t so much. She certainly thinks he gets a little too much love from everyone because he’s just so cool, and maybe he needs to be taken down a peg every now and then.
Mrs. Obama ’08 reminds me a lot of Mrs. Clinton ’92 and if she doesn’t reel it in a little that’s what a big hunk of America is going to think, too. Hillary upset a lot of people when she said she wasn’t about to “stay home baking cookies while she stands by her man.” How do you think those same folks are going to feel about Mrs. O’s remark that "For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
Not well, I’ll wager. This is going to come back to bedevil the Obama campaign for quite some time. She could do with a little dose of humility.
