This guy is sick. I actually thought that Obama’s visit to his ailing, perhaps mortally, grandmother would be sacrosanct. Not so apparently. More damage control for the GOP.

Jon Stewart can be stinging. Lesson to politicians: never try to win with a comedian.
MacDailyNews – Apple surpasses goal of 10 million iPhones sold in 2008; outsells RIM in September quarter
“‘I can’t believe the hype being given to iPhone… I just have to wonder who will want one of these things (other than the religious faithful)… So please mark this post and come back in two years to see the results of my prediction: I predict they will not sell anywhere near the 10M Jobs predicts for 2008.’ – Richard Sprague, Microsoft Senior Marketing Director, January 18, 2007”

Absolute comedy.
What Will Wall Street Look Like in the Fall of 2009? — New York Magazine
What Will Wall Street Look Like in the Fall of 2009? — New York Magazine:
“And while any president will be an improvement over the current one, there is a growing belief on Wall Street that Barack Obama has the capacity to lead us out of this wilderness while John McCain does not. I’ll go a step further: Obama is a recession. McCain is a depression.
Wall Street usually favors Republicans when it comes to managing the economy, but this time around the financial community is skeptical. John McCain has done everything he can to avoid talking about the economy, lest he be tarred with the brush of George Bush’s ineptitude. And when McCain has attempted to step into the fray, he’s been far from reassuring. First, he insisted that the fundamentals of the economy were sound; then he turned around and told us it was the end of the economic world as we know it, and suspended his campaign to scramble back to Washington and save the day on the bailout bill—only to have little visible effect. For all his talk of being a maverick, McCain looks an awful lot like President Bush on the credit crisis: He doesn’t seem to understand Wall Street or Main Street, he is dogmatically anti-regulation, and his economic team is a joke. “

Boo yah!!!
Powell Drops a Bomb
`Anti-American’ comments hurt Minn. rep’s campaign – Yahoo! News
`Anti-American’ comments hurt Minn. rep’s campaign – Yahoo! News:
“Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann spent months building her profile through appearances on ‘Larry King Live’ and other TV talk shows. It took only a few minutes of airtime, and one disparaging remark about Barack Obama, to undo it.”
(Via Yahoo! News.)
She walked right into it on Hardball. Too many interviews with a net on Faux News, I guess. But Powell, in the following video, crushes her comments. Ouch.
What Kind of Red are We Talking About?
Incoherence – Swampland – TIME:
“John McCain had a fabulously loony weekend, flipping out charges and attacks like a mud tornado. The truly remarkable thing about McCain’s attacks, especially on Obama’s economic policies, is that McCain, in each case, is ‘guilty’ of supporting some version of the policies he’s attacking”
(Via Swampland – TIME.)
In these cynical times, it’s easy to expect hypocrisy from our politicians. It’s a bona fide occupational hazard. But there are times when even a politician has broken faith. This is a great piece slamming some of McCain’s more egregious hypocrisies of late.

The market has spoken and Powell along with it.
