It looks like the new Hillary Clinton movie will have to wait. The US Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of a conservative group, Citizens United, who wanted to show an ad painting the Senator under a bad light.

According to the said group, the ad was more akin to expose reporting like “60 minutes” or “Nova” rather a smear campaign against Clinton. This however was rejected both by the Lower and Supreme Court. According to the 2002 McFain-Feinhold law, electioneering communication broadcasting during the election or primaries is not allowed.

On the Citizen United’s side, they say that they’re freedom of speech rights are being violated and therefore the ad needs to be shown immediately. They’re now planning on making an ad regarding the other Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

Nevertheless, the ad will be shown in nine theaters and can be viewed in the internet through their site.

His historic win of the American presidency has captivated people all over the world but the arena he is about to enter is a truly dirty one. Left to deal with an economic recession, two wars and many other problems the American people are dealing with in the country and around the globe, all eyes remain on him. Many who supported him count on his promise for change which he oh so elaborated on but words are very different from reality and as he takes office this coming January, he will have to face fact in the reality of things.
The election race was that of words and speeches but the American people are desperate for change in this troubled world of ours. Life has gotten a lot worse for most Americans, an almost defunct public health system, a financial market that is in shambles and billions in budgetary deficit due to the wars and bailout offers for the crumbling industries. Many say his first 100 days would define him as the president he wants to be. Just hope he can fill the shoes of the forefathers of America who have stood the test of time.

Joe Lieberman believes that it would take a very well prepared and ready president to be able to face the numerous attacks that the Islamic groups have been throwing their way. With another possible attack on the United States on the new presidents first year of administration, Lieberman believes that it is best to be prepared by military forces, and security for whatever may come.

Retired General Wesley Clark who is backing up Sen. Obamas running for presidency believes otherwise. Of course it is good for a standing president to have a good, celebrated military background, however, his efficiency as president will not only be based on that. What the country needs is someone who has good judgment, of which Sen. Barack Obama obviously have shown the American people ever since he has served the country.

And I think what we need to do, Bob, is we need to stop talking about the old politics of left and right, and we need to pull together and move the country forward. And I think that’s what Barack Obama will do.” Clark told Scheiffer on Face The Nation.

60 vehicles in Orlando, Florida, have been trashed all over by hate words that would like to send a message to running president Obama. Over 10 US Dollars have been the estimated cost of damages done to these cars. Happened just outside the Orlando City Hall, the cars have been streaked with hate words towards Obama and McCain, however, support messages for Hilary Clinton have also been written.

With lines like, “Obama smokes crack,” the vandals seemed like people who wanted to bring Obama down, not only politically, but as a human being as well. Police officers believe that the vandalism was done Saturday afternoon and by people who had no fear, for the City Hall was just across the street.

The campaign has decided to act on the recent rumors leading to certain false facts, about Sen. Obama being things that he is not. The campaign has been spread out all over Ohio, where the rumors have been started, and educates the voters at least five months before election time.

In some places, however, it may be too late. The campaign must think of more innovative ways to get these already-decided people to change their minds. And some people who would want to make sure that their vote would be for someone worth it, only has these questions to ask himself, “Do I believe in the commercials that sell him as someone whom I can trust with my life, with my country? Or do I believe the rumors (which could possibly have some tad bit of truth in them)?”

These people are not bad people, they only want to vote for the right man to be leader of their country. They cannot be blamed for being so ever-critical about this. They only need to believe in their hearts that they will choose the one who deserves to be in that position.

Sen. Joe Lieberman sees a pattern in US history that it would most likely be attacked by terrorists once again in 2009. He believes that the Republican’s nominee for presidency is more prepared than that of the Democrats’.

Lieberman feels that the new president will be put to a test in his first year at the White House, he tells Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. Two previous attacks have led to that conclusion – the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened during Bill Clinton’s first year as president, while the bombing of the Twin Towers happened during the first year of George Bush as president. These two occurrences have led Lieberman to believe that it could happen again, once a newly elected president has taken his seat at the White House.

As in everything in this world, there are two sides to a story. Two different opinions, views, yet only one truth. Possibly, there could be some truth in both views, however, it is the one that is the lesser evil that we believe in.

On US news, and the world of politics, Sen. Barack Obama has been recognized to be one abiding citizen, a Christian family man, with very high regard to law and responsibility. However, once you enter the web pages of the internet, you are faced with a whole new look on him. He is said to be someone who is a gay Muslim-hater and someone who refuses to abide by the law. Which part do you believe?

Last time, we reported that Hillary Clinton would “obliterate” Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear missiles. Most were wondering how Obama would use this in his campaign and how Iran would react top such comments.

Obama minces no words and compares her to a Republican President:

“It’s not the language we need right now, and I think it’s language reflective of George Bush. We have had a foreign policy of bluster and saber rattling and tough talk and in the meantime have made a series strategic decisions that have actually strengthened Iran.”

Is George Bush a boogey man now?

Iran strongly condemned Clinton’s comments, calling her comments as “provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible” and “a flagrant violation” of the U.N. Charter.

Only time will tell whether Clinton said the right thing or not.

I wonder how Iran will react to this? According to the aspiring Democratic Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton, she is willing to totally obliterate Iran if it ever uses nuclear missiles against Israel.

The statement was mentioned during an interview with a morning TV Show.

“We should be looking to create an umbrella of deterrence that goes much further than just Israel. Of course I would make it clear to the Iranians that an attack on Israel would incur massive retaliation from the United States. But I would do the same with other countries in the region … . You can’t go to the Saudis or the Kuwaitis or UAE and others who have a legitimate concern about Iran and say, well, don’t acquire these weapons to defend yourself unless you’re also willing to say we will provide a deterrent backup.”

Obama may pay for his comments about Pennsylvanians. 

On a recorded speech in San Francisco, Sen. Obama commented the following regarding people from Pennsylvania: 

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. … So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

This may even further alienate blue-collar voters and affect his campaign to be the Democratic Candidate for the Presidency. How will Clinton and McCain react? No doubt, these two will jump on this issue like a wolf jumps on a sleeping sheep.

Here’s the transcribed and recorded speech.
