Obama arrives in Santa Barbara for Oprah fundraising bash Oprah Winfrey was rolling out the red carpet Saturday, not for a celebrity but for a celebrity presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The most powerful woman in show business was set to celebrate her favorite candidate with a private gala fundraiser at her palatial estate in the coastal enclave of Montecito, just south of Santa Barbara. Stevie Wonder was scheduled to perform for the guests, who are expected to include Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and Halle Berry. Visitors were to be bused to Winfrey's home. Meanwhile, the Democratic presidential contender made a quick lunchtime stop before the party to speak to a crowd of about 1,000 eager supporters who gathered on a hillside overlooking the sparkling blue Pacific at Santa Barbara City College. It was his only public appearance of the day. Obama arrived wearing his trademark white shirt with an open collar and rolled-up sleeves, shaking his way down a line of outstretched hands as the song "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" blared from speakers. He spoke for about 20 minutes, hitting his core themes of optimism and accountability. "What's called for is a level of responsibility and seriousness that we haven't seen in a very long time," he told the cheering crowd, which ranged from college students in short sundresses and big sunglasses to older couples decked out in peace symbols. mercurynews.com

Why does Edwards think we need an organization------is this not redundant of alliances already? "Using the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks as an opportunity to outline the policy he pledged to implement if elected president, Mr. Edwards announced he would form a Counterterrorism and Intelligence Treaty Organization (CITO). CITO would be made up of nations committed to sharing financial, police, customs and immigration intelligence that would enable authorities to track and shut down terrorist cells, he said." mj
