Barack Obama's historical election to the highest office of the land while globally acclaimed has also brought out a wave of racism both within the United States and overseas. Recently, Al-Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has used a racial slur to demean President-elect Barack Obama implying he does the bidding of whites. Now, UK Telegraphreports that the Polish Foreign Minister (FM), Mr. Radek Sikorski, an Oxford educated politician who has lived in the US, has joined the company of Al-Zawahir with a latest racist smear, against President-elect Barack Obama, which rivals that of the Al Qaeda leader's:

Palin: "Special Place in Hell for Women who don't Support Me"

Straight fromHuffington Post:

At a rally today in California, Gov. Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women," the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

The statement came after Palin had recounted a "providential" moment she experienced on Saturday: "I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, ok? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State [crowd boos] and UN ambassador. ... Now she said it, I didn't. She said, 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"

Actually, Albright didn't say that. The real quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women." (Sources made the same point to CBS's Scott Conroy.)

First he does a good job explaining the context in which he, like all other Clinton's supporters perceived Obama.

I know everyone on both sides of the political spectrum is excited at the prospect of the general elections match between senator McCain and Obama, especially given Mr. Obama's groundbreaking candidacy and inspirational underlying message. I wanted to take the time, in the midst of all the frenzy, excitement, to reflect on what happened to Angel Torres, a 78 year old man now in critical condition at Hartford Hospital and paralyzed from the neck down after a hit-and-run incident that was caught on tape.

It is painful to watch the image of a helpless old man lying in the middle of a street in a major city in the United States of America while indifferent bystanders just drive around - at some point in the video there is even a car that stopped few meters from the old man, made a u-turn and just drove off. It also appears, and this is even more heartbreaking, that absolutely no one called the police to help the man in distress as the Hartford Police came upon the old man only because they were responding to an unrelated call for service.

I am so surprised, like many of you,w ith the Clinton's gaucheness in their efforts to secure a VP slot on an Obama ticket. Their approach totally cornered Obama, put an undue amount of pressure on him and will force him to say no. I would have expected something else from somebody as smart as Hillary.

I came across today's Gallup polltracking presidential nomination preferences in the democratic party. According to this poll, Obama should have no problem uniting the democratic party behind his candidacy. Here are a couple of interesting facts from this poll:

Barack Obama's lead over Hillary has increased from four percentage-point in early May (O:49% C: 45%)to 16 points from May 16-18 (O:55% C:39%).

The latest superdelegate endorsement is that Obama gets endorsement of Texas DNC member John Patrick,who cited Obama's record on trade and fighting for working class.

Time and MSNBC also report that Sen Obam is expected to pick up three prominent Illinois supers — Mayor Daley, House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie and Cook County Board President Todd Stroger — as the state finishes filling out its delegate slate.

I have embedded the complete video of KO's countdown interview with Hillary. I sure do hope voters in Pennsylvania do not fall for the fear mongering argument that Hillary is so regrettably using. She has truly totally discredited herself as a true democrat --no wonder she has some major disagreements with MoveOn.org --and yet prove again that she would say and do anything to get elected.
