Being stubborn isn't a foreign policy ...

So says Bill Richardson in this ad.

But what will the press do with a candidate who talks sense? There's all kind of things they can write about. His hair, his barber or stylist. His tailor or his lack of one. His accent or lack of one. They could make fun of him for speaking more than one language. The list is endless. I'm sure those university journalism classes taught them much about tearing the good people down and raising bumbling fools up. They must have learned this skill somewhere. They are so good at it.

Presidential Townhall ...

This is the full question and answer session at MoveOn.org's Presidential Virtual Town Hall video at PoliticsTV.com.

I found it interesting that Obama did not say in this video that if Bushie vetoes the bill the Senate would just approve a version of the bill without the constraints that the administration does not want in the bill. In fact he says something very different, though also very involved, than has been discussed around and about (like at dailyKOS).
