James Baker: Talking to Enemies not Appeasement

James Baker, obviously a weak-kneed liberal (who was Chief of Staff to Reagan and Secretary of State to George H.W. Bush) noted recently on Faux News that talking with your enemies is NOT "appeasement".

He went on to discuss his 16 trips to Syria (which was a state sponsor of terror at the time) during the first Bush administration and the fact that the administration -- via diplomacy (remember diplomacy?) -- was able to get Syria to tacitly recognize Israel's existence.

Here's the video:

Obama's Speech on Race and Politics

Sorry the posts have been so thin over the last few days -- I've been out of town. I just watched Obama's speech on race and politics in America. It's amazing. See the video below:

MSNBC Biographic Episode on Obama - Video

I just found this fantastic video snippet from an hour-long MSNBC show today, which went into enormous detail on Obama's background, rise to prominence, and his candidacy. I find it to be well-researched, thorough and fair.

The show also included a great history of his candidacy for President thus far (for those of you who haven't been following the race nearly as obsessively as me) :).

Update: I just realized the video below is only a snippet, if any finds the full show online, please let me know. Otherwise, keep an eye out for it on MSNBC.

Pass this around!

New Obama Video - We Are the Ones

Here is the new video by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. I like the first one he put out, Yes We Can, better but this one is good too.

"Ringing" - New Obama Ad in Texas

I am so impressed by how effective the Obama camp has become in quickly diffusing the Clinton campaign's fear and pity tactics. Check out this new Obama ad currently running in Texas, which is a response to Hillary's earlier fearmongering ad, looks familiar no?

¡Si se puede!

Update: Reggaeton para Obama

"The hits that I took in this election"

I feel almost guilty for posting an item on this because the silliness of the plagiarism charge against Obama, that Hillary pushed again last night at the debate (for which she got booed), makes me cringe.

It's especially silly because Clinton herself borrows lines from her husband's campaign without attribution.

Case in point (as first noted by John Marshall at TPM) -- you be the judge:

Clinton, 92: "The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of this state and this country have been taking for a long time."

Hillary Clinton, tonight: "You know, the hits I’ve taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country."

Just to be 100% clear, there's nothing in the least wrong with this. And it's a great line. But I think it shows the silliness of the 'plagiarism' charges based on a few borrowed lines. Politicians borrow good lines and catch-phrases. Happens all the time. There's nothing wrong with it.

Compare these two speeches:

In light of this common practice among politicians, can everyone now drop this non-issue?

Obama Video - A Chorus of Millions

Here's a new video put out by the Obama campaign. It features Barack Obama speaking in Chicago on Super Tuesday and highlight moments from the Obama campaign across the country.

My favorite quote "[This campaign] is different -- not because of me, but because of you."

Obama Wisconsin Primary Victory Speech

See below for the video of Obama's rousing victory speech after winning a double-digit victory last night in Wisconsin (and before the news came out that he won Hawaii by 52 points).

His best line of the night: "Houston, I think we've achieved liftoff here." And how!

Defending Hope

Here's the last ten or so minutes from Obama's speech last night, in which he defends the idea of hope from Hillary's recent round of attacks. Are we really going to nominate a person who is running on an anti-hope platform?

Great Meet the Press Today for Obama

I just watched today's Meet the Press. The whole show netted Obama a series of great quotes and analysis. I posted the video below for you to watch.

Consider the first portion of the show where Chuck Schumer (Hillary supporter) debates Dick Durbin (Obama supporter) on the superdelegate and Florida/Michigan delegate questions. Dick comes across as MUCH more forthright.

Also consider the round table's discussion of Obama and Clinton's only executive experience: running their respective campaigns. Guess who they thought is proving himself to be a better executive.

Video of Obama's Speech in Wisconsin

Here's a short clip of a recent Obama speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He does a great job of rebutting Clinton's silly line of "speeches don't put food on the table". He agrees that speeches, by themselves, don't put food on the table.

Why Vote Obama

This is a great example of the wisdom and judgment of Obama. A woman in Virginia asks him why he should get her vote. Here's Obama's reply:

Obama Virginia Jefferson Jackson Speech

Here is the video of Obama speaking last night at the Virginia Jefferson Jackson dinner. Every time I listen to a new speech of Obama's, my heart soars. He makes me hope and dream for better times. This is how I've always wanted to feel about a true leader.

Lessig: Why I'm 4Barack

This video makes a great case for Barack and was put together by Lawrence Lessig:

Lawrence Lessig is a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and founder of the school's Center for Internet and Society. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, he was the Berkman Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and a Professor at the University of Chicago. He clerked for Judge Richard Posner on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court.

Obama's Super Tuesday Speech Video

Obama got a nice amount of free airtime to deliver a great speech last night after everyone else had chimed in. He was positive, confident and I think reached a wider audience than before. I thought it really capped off the night well:
