It’s hard work… defending Bush:
Chris Matthews managed to ridicule “George W. Bush for leaving office with one of the lowest presidential approval ratings in the nation’s history, for creating an economic mess that President Obama had to clean up, and for leading a foreign policy based on “truly frightening” rationales.”
Whew that was some serious fireworks [...]

On Wednesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the economic sanctions that have been imposed by the U.S. and “other Western governments had failed to pressure the repressive Burmese government,” thus pointing to a potential shift in U.S. policy on Burma.

For those long term DemDaily readers they know that we don’t generally cover any foreign news other than Iraq. The reason I’ve run three stories in a row on foreign issues is simple.
Barack Obama faces, perhaps, the worst foreign policy set of issues since LBJ. He’s in a nearly no win position. We need to [...]

While most of us couldn’t find Guinea on a blank African map, it is one of the former colonies, this one French, that achieved independence 50 years ago. As noted below in a news report, it is one of the poorest countries in Africa. [When a corespondent calls a country 'one of the poorest in [...]

Barack Obama is leading in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida according to polls conducted by Quinnipiac University (one of Nate Silver’s preferred pollsters so they’re good enough for me). The gains are due to independents moving toward Obama after the debate, the economy turning overall voting confidences to him and Sarah Palin’s declining favorability. I’ll be honest and [...]

John Kerry, our 2004 nominee, tore into John McCain tonight in his convention speech. He left no stone un-turned, he left as he pilloried John McCain with the “strongest language yet uttered from the convention podium.”
Seth Colter Walls notes on the HuffPo:
Kerry describes McCain as “insulting” and “desperate’ for questioning Obama’s patriotism, and “pathetic” for [...]

I’ll continue the concept of Pamela’s excellent article with another long shot possibility that may have been made by Barack Obama. I agree with Pamela that all this smoke may be a screen for another VP pick. With that as a basis I’ll bring another name to the list. A name I know very well.

John Kerry’s new ad running in Massachusetts highlights the work he has done in the Senate on veteran’s rights and issues. The legislation that Kerry has had passed in the Senate that benefits and helps veteran’s doesn’t just affect veteran’s in Massachusetts, but all across the country. And that’s why I am supporting John Kerry for Senate. Watch [...]

In a nutshell: “Over the past several weeks there has been perhaps no better surrogate for Barack Obama than Senator John Kerry.”
In the past week alone, Kerry delivered a major address on counterterrorism in which he systematically ripped apart John McCain’s foreign policy depth and understanding. He took to the airwaves to defend Obama against [...]

Ed Rendell had the best quote of the day: “Speaking Tuesday on MSNBC, Rendell said he has not been vetted by the Obama campaign, indicating he’s not a focus for their search.
“I haven’t been contacted by anybody — showing that the Obama campaign has good sense,” Rendell said, adding that Obama would do well to [...]

A quick thought on John McCain’s bad weekend… Let’s hope it’s a trend for McCain. Because John McCain doesn’t really know what Iraqi’s or American’s want. Barack Obama knows American’s want out of Iraq and he’s in Iraq scoping out the facts on the ground.
