Obama to Return to Iowa
Amy Chozick reports on the presidential race from Eugene, Ore.
The long Democratic presidential primary season is coming full circle.
The Obama campaign announced Saturday morning that it will hold a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, Tuesday.
It was in Iowa nearly five months ago that Barack Obama captured a come-from-behind first place victory in the caucus, dealing the first big blow to rival Hillary Clinton and convincing voters and Democratic superdelegates that he had the potential to win the nomination.
On Saturday, campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor sent out a release saying the candidate and his wife, Michelle, would hold an event in this “critical general election state that Democrats must win in November.”
The event comes the same day Oregon and Kentucky hold their primaries.
As Clinton campaigns rigorously through Kentucky, Obama is looking to pick up enough delegates in Oregon to give him the roughly 2,025 needed to officially secure the nomination. The Illinois senator currently has what appears to be an insurmountable lead in the all-important quest for delegates.
The children of the corn fields might not like him so much this time.
I left some pantsuits at a dry-cleaners in Davenport, I wonder if one of his people could pick them up for me. I’ll try to pay them back …
This 73 yr old woman, along with supporters from ages 18 to 80 and older, is thrilled to welcome Obama back to our cities, our towns, and, yes, the cornfields of Iowa. Now we say, “Yes we can” elect Obama in November.
Welcome back home…..Obama. Welcome to Iowa.
I must admit that Obama’s strategy regarding the caucus states was absolutely brilliant. He outmaneuvered a great political machine. I doubt his abilities as President, but I will not question his ability to campaign. His Iowa victory was well-executed.
I saw this on Michelle Malikin’s website and thought it was a funny tidbit of political humor: “Obama reminds me of a pure socialist society…..No class.” C’mon, we can toss around a few lighthearted jokes, can’t we?
“Some (insert Barack Obama)seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is – the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.” Obama = Neville Chamberlain on steroids.
To 4:16, what makes you so sure that negotiation is never an option. I’ll give you a scenario:There is a wayward school kid who cherishes to cause trouble. Every type of punishment was tried but to no avail to stop him. In fact, the more the threats of a punishment, the more ingenious he became in causing trouble. The principal then decided to befriend this boy. Two things became eminent- the boy realized that the school administration did not hate him but rather his wayward habits; also he found it difficult to engage in those bad tricks of his, because he did not want to hurt his new friend. So trouble causing was minimized.
Now to my point- those people you call terrorist also call the USA a terrorist. If there is a way to converse peacefully, there will be a better understanding and hence a solution. That to me is an option, though not the only one.
President Appeasement is a cone of President Bush. One is foolish to trust in only one way to resolve a dispute. Before entering a war, if possible, a president should consider speaking to the opponent in order to save thousands of lives serving in our armed forces, conserve money and avoid future loses.
Obama did not state that this is the only means by which conflict can be resolved, but it is one form of diplomacy that could be useful in some situations.
I am a Democrat. I love the party.
Because of the manipulation of Senator Obama in this primary season, I will be voting for McCain.
This man and the press have embarrassed me and my community.
Millions of other Democrats will run to McCain now that the race according to the press “is over”
The superdeligates that support Barack Obama will live to the day to see what a terrible mistake they made, and the danger and injustice there decision has done to sweet America and its people. May they be held accountable. God Bless America.
Obama has to get the point.That these people Iowa.Are hard working middle class people.Just like the small town people in America.Obama even with all of his Private colleges he has attended.I just dont get it.How can he relate to these kind of people?Cling to guns religion bitter.I just dont get it.How doze some one like Obama can tell amercia how to lead.We the people what are we thinking.It just goes to show how gullible we are.
