So, what does Team Barack think about John McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his Vice Presidential running mate.

Well, Obama's spokesperson, Bill Burton, says:

"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.

Burton also criticized Palin as a vice presidential pick for her support of oil drilling in the Alaskan wilderness and her anti-abortion stance, referring to the 1973 Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in the United States.

"Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies. That's not the change we need, it's just more of the same," he said.

So, that's what they say.

What do U say????

That John McCain sure has been making a lot of smart, strategic moves this week!

The Republican presidential hopeful has just released a video congratulating Barack Obama on securing the nomination from the Democratic party. And, McCain also uses the opportunity to remember Martin Luther King, Jr. historic "I Have A Dream" speech and reflect on that occasion, which happened 45 years ago yesterday.

This is gonna be one interesting race!

So what did bug supporter Oprah Winfrey think of Barack Obama's acceptance speech last night????

"I cried my eyelashes off," she says. "I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever experienced."

The talks show queen called Obama's words "transcendent."

She adds, "He's not an African-American candidate. He's a candidate for Americans."

Yes we can!!!!!

You'd think if you were running for President that you would have the support of your entire family.

That doesn't seem to be the case with John McCain's sister-in-law.

The half-sister of McCain's wife, Cindy McCain, is speaking out about the Presidential hopeful and her support of Barack Obama!

The sis, Kathleen Hensley Portalski, says "I'm not voting for McCain. I have a different political standpoint."

She adds, "I'm voting for Obama. I think his proposals to improve the country are more positive and I'm not a big war believer."

Hensley went on to say in a different interview that she felt "like a non-person" after her half-sister, Cindypoo, described herself as an only child.

Looks like someone is out to get back at their sis.

She doesn't have mean remarks to say about Cindy, instead she says "She'd kinda cool, standoffish."

But as far as any reconciling attempts with Cindy, Hensley adds "She never has, and I doubt that she ever will," try to reconcile.

Hensley's son is also voting for Obama, stating "I wouldn't vote for John McCain if he was a Democrat. I would not vote at all before I'd vote for him. I question whether Cindy is someone I'd want to see in the White House as first lady."

What do U think of the remarks by Cindy's "half" family?

Sounds like a smart woman to us!

As we mentioned yesterday, Presidential hopeful John McCain has an endorsement from Puerto Rican Reggaeton musician Daddy Yankee.

Though we've since come to find out that the McCain lover had originally offered to endorse and perform for Barack Obama.

Now, Daddy Yankee's rep is denying the reports of any initial Obama support.

Mayna Nevarez says that the story "is completely false. Our camp never approached the Obama camp. The Obama and Clinton camps were calling our office before the Puerto Rican primary, trying to get Yankee to endorse them. The McCain camp approached us, as well."

We find it hard to believe that Obama's people would want to be associated with Daddy Yankee!

Nevarez adds, "Yankee considered all the proposals and he liked McCain's. That's why he decided to endorse him. There was never an offer to endorse Obama. That never happened."

Spin spin, sugar!

There he goes again!

Bill Clinton is planning on embarrassing Hillary Clinton again by NOT showing up to Barack Obama's acceptance speech on Thursday.

Bubba, your wife just called for the Democratic party's unity.

You Clintons gotta practice what you preach!

Don't be a bitter Betty, Bill!

So unbecoming of a former President of the UNITED States of America, don't you say?

Better safe than sorry!

Thankfully, the crazies who triggered an assassination investigation did not pose a 'true threat' to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

A U.S. Attorney named Troy Eid describes the men as "meth heads" who weren't capable of such an attack.

We think they def have a "meth head" look to them!

The idiots HAVE been charged with drug and weapons offenses.

Have fun in jail!
