Obama: Don't just 'get rid of one guy'
ESPANOLA, N.M. - Democrat Barack Obama said today that he was "ahead of the curve" in calling for more regulation of the financial industry and hammered Republican rival John McCain for being a longtime opponent of government intervention. Appearing under a warm sun in this battleground state, Obama also mocked McCain's call today for the firing of the chairman of the Security and Exchange Commission and encouraged supporters to set their sights higher. "In the next 47 days, you can fire the whole trick

Obama mocks McCain’s call to fire SEC chairman
AP - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama promised new ideas Thursday to calm America’s financial meltdown and help struggling families avoid mortgage foreclosure, saying that "this is not a time for fear, it’s not a time for panic."

A Daily Show Addition- Rob Corddry's Wife Is Expecting
 Rob Corddry, political correspondent for the Daily Show, isn't just waiting to see the outcome of the election in November. He is expecting changes in his own house. He and his wife are expecting their second daughter in November, and they are letting their two year old name her. Just kidding, could you imagine what she would want to name her? Rob said she is pretty set on either Freeka or Laurie Berkner. At least that's better than what he wanted to name her. He said that they may go wit

Is Palin Falling Into the Obama Trap?
It wasn’t long ago that all sorts of voices on the right, not to mention from John McCain’s campaign itself, were shrieking about the media’s disproportionate coverage of the two major presidential candidates. It was an utterly disingenuous ploy. Yes, the press was devoting vastly more ink and air-time to Barack Obama than John McCain, but they were merely feeding the public’s appetite: The guy with the fresh face attracts curiosity, which translates into big audiences and newsstand sales. Some of

Obama and the 40-Year-Old Virgin
Regrettably but predictably, the success of Barack Obama has revived traditional knee-jerk racism on the American far right – and the latest examples are more blatant than latent. In Michigan, right-wing operatives are seeking to aggravate white Democrats by linking Obama to Kwame Kilpatrick, the disgraced mayor of Detroit who leaves office today in a deal with prosecutors that included pleading guilty to two felony charges of obstructing justice. A brief clip of Obama praising Kilpatrick last year, lo

On the Drilling Issue, the Democrats Are Still Losers
All spring and summer gas prices soared and the debate over energy policy played out on the front pages of newspapers across the country, with the Republicans unquestionably getting the better of it. They deserve some credit for their strategic craftiness, but they wouldn’t have been nearly as successful in reducing so complicated an issue to the catchy slogan “Drill, baby, drill!” had it not been for the ample cooperation they received from tone-deaf and incoherent Democrats, who first failed to rec

Obama Back On Top
Barack Obama has regained his national lead after a ten day post-convention bounce for John McCain. In the all-important Real Clear Politics average (which averages national polling), Obama has regained a lead of 1.7%. McCain had held as much as a 3% national lead over the last week. At the height of Obama's convention bounce he held a respectable 6% lead. Whether or not McCain's bounce faded naturally, is the result of the continuing horrible economic news, or is because of Obama's freshly

Obama & McCain on ‘60 Minutes’
‘60 Minutes” is taking the unusual step of devoting its entire broadcast on Sunday to profiles of John McCain and Barack Obama with fresh interviews. Scott Pelley plans to interview McCain in Wisconsin today, at the same time Steve Kroft is interviewing Obama in Nevada. The separate, 20-minute pieces will mix profile material with a snapshot of a moment in the campaign.

Bill Clinton: Obama rides 'change' wave
The crisis on Wall Street could be helping Democrat Barack Obama regain some momentum in his race with Republican John McCain. So says Bill Clinton, the former president who presided over some good times. "The latest polls had Senator Obama up a little bit,'' Clinton said in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on CNBC's Closing Bell. "I think partly that's a function of the current distress, economic distress because I think the more people worry about the current set of circumstances, the more likely they
