The Obama campaign -- which finally has Hillary Clinton reeling thanks to his whine, whine, whine rejoinder to her "Boy's Club" crack -- violated THE cardinal rule of campaigning today: Never step on your own story.
They did just that by unveiling a complicated new Iran strategy, predicated with negotiating face-to-face with the mullahs, on a day when the storyline would probably be devoted to Clinton's missteps, clarifications and obfuscations.

RE: Obama is the The Media Made Man
Has anyone ever considered what experience this fella has???
I mean, All Obama was two years ago was a "State Senator" from Illinois.
All Obama did was Street Namings, Baby Seat Protection Laws and Playground Dedications....
I mean, He is "Wet behind the Ears" and clearly a "Liberal Media Made Man"

There is a rumor that a candidate - and it must be a Demo - is trying to get a private plane to take him to Iran so that he can "address the Parliament" (and in a sense carry on his OWN FOREIGN POLICY, which is illegal). I will bet that this is Obama.
