Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination

WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.

I like what William Bennett says about Obama and the Democratic Party:

[T]he Democratic party is about to nominate [has nominated] a far left candidate in the tradition of George McGovern, albeit without McGovern’s military and political record. The Democratic party is about to nominate a far-left candidate in the tradition of Michael Dukakis, albeit without Dukakis’s executive experience as governor. The Democratic party is about to nominate a far left candidate in the tradition of John Kerry, albeit without Kerry’s record of years of service in the Senate. The Democratic party is about to nominate an unvetted candidate in the tradition of Jimmy Carter, albeit without Jimmy Carter’s religious integrity. . .

But Obamessiah will bring us all hopiness and changitude! When he is President we will all have free health care and be able to ride our unicorns to our jobs at the peace factory!

He's pretty generous regarding Carter's "religious integrity"...

Great quote though.

Pastor T,

I agree with your Carter comment; too generous.
