“When I am this party's nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq; or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; or that I supported Bush-Cheney policies of not talking to leaders that we don't like. And he will not be able to say that I wavered on something as fundamental as whether or not it is ok for America to torture — because it is never ok… I will end the war in Iraq… I will close Guantanamo. I will restore habeas corpus. I will finish the fight against Al Qaeda. And I will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century: nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. And I will send once more a message to those yearning faces beyond our shores that says, "You matter to us. Your future is our future. And our moment is now.”

— Barack Obama, Des Moines, Iowa, November 10, 2007

Shame on you George .W Bush! I'm not used to comment on the US presidential statements or on my own blog here, but this one cannot be ignored. He said at the Israeli "Knesset" that it's ridiculous to think that we can, or we're able to talk with terrorists..So how about the free world? They think that you Mr George .W Bush are a terrorist though they are talking with you! And saying that a particular regime or government is a terrorist or supporting terror Only because the US foreign policy does not like it, is really the lowest level of political stupidity even for the Bush-Cheney government.

   After eight long and deadly years of presence at the white house, We may have been saying that we're used to hear odds incoming from the oval bureau now...but here, the statement is coming from the Knesset, by an US president, attacking an US political candidate for the presidency, and we may find on internet what Israel thinks of Mr Barack Obama...so a question comes in my mind: Who's governing the United States of America?

This comment is personal, and has nothing to do with Mr Obama

John Edwards' Full Remarks from Grand Rapids, MI

Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama is to be backed by former rival John Edwards, his campaign says.

Mr Edwards, who was John Kerry's running-mate in the 2004 presidential race, has been one of the few senior Democrats yet to endorse a candidate. Correspondents say his endorsement will damage Mr Obama's one remaining rival, Senator Hillary Clinton. The endorsement comes a day after Mrs Clinton won the party's primary in West Virginia by a wide margin. Mrs Clinton, like Mr Obama, had actively sought Mr Edwards's influential endorsement.

'Tricky case'

So far in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, Mr Obama has won more of the delegates who will choose the party's nominee at the Democratic National Convention this summer. He has also raised more money than Mrs Clinton.

The Clinton campaign has been hoping that she could pick up more endorsements than Mr Obama from the so-called "super-delegates", who get an automatic vote at the convention by virtue of holding a senior position in the party.

The BBC's Justin Webb says that with Mr Edwards's high-profile endorsement, Mrs Clinton's already difficult case has just become even trickier to make. Mr Edwards was expected to make his endorsement alongside the Illinois senator at a rally in Michigan later on Wednesday.

Keeping Our Faith With Veterans

We just won a decisive victory in North Carolina thanks to people like you.

Indiana remains too close to call. But what is clear is that we did much better than all the pundits predicted, despite Republicans changing parties to support Senator Clinton, believing she would be easier for Senator McCain to defeat.

Here's where we stand.

As of Tuesday morning, we needed just 273 delegates to clinch the nomination. When the votes are fully counted Wednesday morning, we will have gained more than a third of them in a single day.

We have a clear path to victory. But now is the time for each one of us to step up and do what we can to close out this primary.
