A couple of memorable snippets from conversations about Sen. Barack Obama with Republican political operatives over the last few days:
- "In his high school yearbook he was known as, 'Barry' - there is certainly something there to explore. There's just something wrong with this guy and America is going to find out about it."
- "His middle name is 'Hussein', no one knows about that, game over."
Republicans are banking on a something they hold as a simple, self-evident truth - that scorched earth politics will destroy Sen. Obama because of his "lacks" - in foreign policy, in DC experience, in politics...because they are absolutely terrified about the prospect of dealing with his positive vision.

"No one has mentioned that Mrs. Clinton's team is the one that started the attacks against Obama regarding his muslim background." Foolish lies. Lies, lies. Stopping listening to stupid lies.
Which lies might you be referring to Susie?
The lies about Clinton's camp starting the Obama smear. .. those lies.
Even Fox admitted (belatedly and with little shame) the Insight article was bogus.
The "Clinton-smearing-Obama" campaign was actually spread by Fox News. So it was really more of a "Fox-smearing-Clinton" job. And now for something completely different...
