"What I would like understood as a black American is that black Americans loved and had faith in this country even when this country didn’t love and have faith in them — and that’s our legacy."
Democrat presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama? Hardly. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

Can’t resist. Another sick one. But only in the sense that Dems who never served–like Hilarity, the wife of a shirker–have this deep yen to be combat veterans. So she lied about being under sniper fire in Bosnia. But it could have happened!
Crayon Physics Deluxe. Or, as I think of it, kinetic doodling. Obviously not just for kids.
In a nutshell:
"there [is] nobody else … who could be trusted not to surrender"
Via Jessica’s Well, which has the source of the quote and the explanation.
Barry’s supposed "empty slate" is filling up fast. From his evil, racist pastor to his finaglin’ past:
"It’s not quite eight in the morning and Barack Obama is on the phone screaming at me. He liked the story I wrote about him a couple weeks ago, but not this garbage…[Obama’s] is a lengthy record filled with core liberal issues. But what’s interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire [26-bill] legislative record in Illinois in a single year."
Politics and crime. Reporters live and die by that stuff, and the politicians and the cops, well, they live and die by the stories.

I confess that I was among the first intrepid Texas reporters to ask then presidential candidate Ronald Reagan if he was too old to be president. He was properly indignant. It was not my unique concern, of course, but merely the start of months of journalistic sheep baaing the quibble at him. He was, if I recall, just sixty-nine at the time, while I was a callow thirty-six or so. Thus John McCain, who at seventy-two would be, next January, just two years older than Reagan was on his Inauguration Day, is already being hammered about his age by contemporary callow youth. Fortunately there are plenty of folks who know better.
