Absurd.....

Report: Jimmy Carter to Meet With Hamas Leader in Syria

Former President Carter has repeatedly stuck his neck out and gotten involved in sensitive politics that often directly clash with the efforts of sitting administrations. I think some discourse with enemies can be good if there is a plan, or if there is any potential for reasoning. Hamas has proven to be an irrational, religiously driven organization that can not be bent. Jimmy Carter is a fool (Not to mention, I'm convinced he's getting senile).

Clinton: Bush should skip Olympic opening ceremonies
Not that I disagree with this gesture, however I find it laughable if not nauseating coming from Clinton. After all it was the Clinton Administration that gave China favored nation status.... of course the left was largely silent on China's human rights record back then when their hero Bill was running the show.

Now to be fair, it had some bipartisan support, largely due to money. Companies across the board lobbied D.C. knowing this gesture would help them increase profit margins if it meant more business (manufacturing dirt cheap) was conducted with China. The left could satisfy their conscience with the notion (which is correct... to some extent) that increased trade could bring capitalism... and maybe one day Democracy into China. The problem that many critics of Bill's new found love for China went well beyond a couple Nike plants. China's human rights were abysmal, they were a threat (and continue to be) to long time ally Taiwan. They had supported the rouge North Korea. They were (and are) building the world's most powerful military force. Bill Clinton gave them additional military technology (remember... China invaded Tibet.... which is the current problem at hand)
I think it is Hillary's effort to remove leftist support from Obama that is the motivating factor behind her newly discovered disapproval of China. (Seems like yesterday her and Bill were renting out the Lincoln bedroom to them for Campaign cash....) Also the new left leaning Hillary supports an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, as revealed in today's questioning of General Petraeus. Ironically, Obama took the more moderate stance of adopting a time table. Which brings me to the next point:

Obama Catching up to Clinton in Pennsylvania
"Less than a month ago, Hillary Clinton appeared far ahead in Pennsylvania, enjoying a 17 percentage-point lead over Barack Obama. Not today, as the latest poll averages from Real Clear Politics show that Obama has cut Clinton’s lead to just 6.1 percentage points in Pennsylvania with two weeks left before the primary."

Winning the delegates and popular vote was already a statistical improbability at the end of Super Tuesday, even when she was ahead in the polls in Pennsylvania. If the race is even close in Pennsylvania, this could finally be the end..... although with Hillary, I wouldn't put it past her to try and steal away all of the super delegates. The irony is her arrogance may finish her political career if it doesn't damage the Democrat Party further. I see it as a win win situation.
