So Barack H. Obama has claimed enough delegates to be considered the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.
Isn’t that just peachy!
For a conservative like me, it actually is.
You see, Obama, a liberal’s wet dream, is the worst possible candidate the Dems could put up against John S. McCain, III, the presumptive Republican nominee.
Obama is a [...]

Sen. Barack H. Obama (D-IL) has said he’d meet with Iran’s president without preconditions, if he’s elected President of the United States.
The naive Senator was called on his position by an experienced Senator, John S. McCain, III (R-AZ)…

Obama leads Clinton in the delegate count.
Obama leads Clinton in the popular vote.
Obama has won more states than Clinton.
But Obama [...]

Funny!

Now, I don’t care for Senator Clinton (D-IL-AR-DC-NY) one bit. But she’s more qualified than Senator Obama (D-IL).
But still not as qualified at Senator McCain (R-AZ).
But, yeah. This was funny.

Fox News reports that the Obama camp is upset by comments made by Representative Steve King (R, IA-5).
King told the Spencer (Iowa) Daily Reporter:
“I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than [...]
