Hillary Clinton

After Florida Primary, I watched “Hillary The Movie” with a group of friends. I was astonished at how objective the movie was. It laid out all factual scandal with reports from first-hand witnesses. Be cautious, however, as this documentary could very well increase any dislike you have about Hillary Clinton. Although my friends and I tend to lean towards the left, we loved how objectively this movie was made, we thought it was objective enough and worth the watch. Will “Hillary The Movie” ruin Clinton’s chances at being elected? Probably not. But whether you support her or not, it’s well worth the hour and a half it takes to watch.

It’s hard to tell which way this product could be taken. Is Hillary a “nut” waiting to be cracked by Obama or McCain, or is she the nut cracker, a perhaps sexist portrayal of her emasculating male politicians. However you take it, the Hillary Nutcracker is a hilarious addition to any kitchen as well as a collector’s item that is sure to become valuable over the years. It’s available for $19.67 at Amazon.com.

Bloomberg has an interesting piece about a recent attack against Democrat Barack Obama from John McCain, who said Obama has gone back on his word by promising to accept public financing during the general election and then opting not to. On June 19, Obama announced that he would not take public financing for his presidential campaign, stating that he could raise far more than the $84.1 million he would get in government funds.

The McCain camp has accounced that on Monday, Senator John McCain will unveil his new plane, which will carry the same name as his current bus, The Straight Talk Express. The airplane in question will be modified Boeing 737-400, and will seat 95 people. “The Straight Talk Express” will be visible on the side of the plane.

The Straight Talk Express is famous for being all McCain, all the time. The campaign bus, famous from his past campaign, is centered around promoting the Arizona Senator and giving him a way to travel around the country.

The Rev. Mike Pfleger, a Catholic priest who was suspended for ten days for making highly offensive and controversial remarks regarding Hillary Clinton, has returned to his duties today. Catholic priests are generally not allowed to discuss politics while on the pulpit, so his remarks came as a surprise to many Catholics. Commenting on his situation, the priest said,” Let this time be a teaching moment for us to hear the Lord, to grow closer to him and become even stronger to build a kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven,”

Despite having endorsed Obama several days earlier, many Clinton supporters have vowed not to support Senator Barack Obama, who is likely to be the Democractic nominee for the ‘08 election. This lack of support behind Obama for Clinton is bad news for the Democrats. These voters could very well either end up not voting in the election, or cast their ballot for McCain. Look back in history, and you’ll see that there has never been an election where the Democrats were divided and their candidate won.

There are literally hundreds of different news sources out there. With things heating up in the 2008 election, more and more people will have their eyes glued to the TV and Internet. If you haven’t found a good group of websites to read election news yet, here are my favorites:

Google News
Drudge Report
CNN

I also like to check international news sites. Such places will report on things often not covered by American media and tend to be very neutral in their reporting.

BBC
Al Jazeera
