I-P and Gaza: Queen Noor tells it like it is

Through Glenn Greenwald's post "A real discussion on TV regarding U.S. policy towards Israel" earlier today, I got to watch the video of Queen Noor of Jordan's appearance on "Morning Joe" this morning. She was impressive in laying out facts and strong arguments concerning the ongoing Gaza incursion and the way forward, and effective in countering some talking points by Richard Haas (of the Council on Foreign Relations). To his credit, Haas also made some good points on how to effectively re-frame the debate on a future peace process as being beneficial to all sides involved.

I am posting youTube versions of the video below the fold, but the full segment can also be watched at this MSNBC.com link. I looked for a transcript of this segment for the benefit of those that are unable to watch the videos, but I could not locate it (if you are able to find the transcript, please post a link to it in the comments section.)

With all of my heart (AND head), I want to see Obama win -- the country/planet simply cannot have it otherwise -- but I need to get something off my chest: in his thundering and historic speech, Obama glaringly made no mention of Al Gore.

I prepared this spreadsheet using the data from pollster.com's OH GE polls page.

Here's a chart of Obama's leads (Obama minus McCain for each poll, +ve or -ve) generated by the spreadsheet which compares Rasmussen Reports (RR)'s numbers with trends from all other pollsters:

The blue curve (a so-called "polyline") is the 5-poll moving average (i.e. it's the average of the 5 most recent polls) for non-Rasmussen polls. The red polyline shows RR's trends (the big red dots are RR's poll results) while the green polyline shows those for Non-Rasmussen pollsters. The light pink line is the 3-poll moving average.

Update: (H/T to turneresq) Huckabee issued an apology.

Huck Apologizes.

During my speech at the N.R.A., a loud noise backstage, that sounded like a chair falling, distracted the crowd and interrupted my speech. I made an off hand remark that was in no way intended to offend or disparage Sen. Obama.

I apologize that my comments were offensive. That was never my intention."

Here is what Obama said about Clinton and McCain's pandering on gas tax suspension for the summer:

Clinton-McCain gas tax holiday slammed as bad idea

"It would last for three months and it would save you on average half a tank of gas, $25 to $30. That's what Senator Clinton and Senator McCain are proposing to deal with the gas crisis," he said on Tuesday in Winston-Sal

And he's absolutely right.

That's right.

Excluding Michigan and Florida, Obama has a popular vote lead of 610,000 votes.

Including FL's beauty-contest result and an exit poll based estimate in MI (which improves it from a non-contest where Obama wasn't on the ballot to sort of a FL-type beauty contest where no one could campaign), Obama currently has a 251,000 lead in the popular vote.

On the sad occasion of the fifth anniversary of the commencement of the Iraq war, I am posting an updated version of a diary of mine from a fortnight ago.

To begin with, most of us know that Obama opposed the invasion of Iraq and gave a stellar and what proved to be a prescient speech against it. But, not many seem to know that Obama continued resisting the invasion all the way through March 2003 while his opponents in the presidential race, John McCain and Hillary Clinton, did otherwise.

That's a key distinction between the candidates to keep in mind and tell others about.

MAR 2003: Obama Said It's Not Too Late To Stop The War. "State Sen. Barack Obama (D-Chicago) told the crowd, `It's not too late' to stop the war." (Chicago Sun- Times, 3/17/03)

Hillary Clinton denigrated Obama's lifetime when she said:

I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002," Clinton says.
