That makes me want to hurl. Rock, star, hmmmm. If someone hit Hillary with a rock upside the head she would see stars. That is the only way I can use her name and those two words in the same sentence. If she were not so evil she would be the star witness in a trial that would soon leave her behind bars breaking rocks. I retract my earlier limiting statement.

The Chicago Sun-Times has a surprisingly tough editorial on Barack Obama: >Pin Gate? by Tom Bevan, The Chicago Sun-Times, Oct 5, 2007 Oh for Pete's sake, Sen. Obama, pin the darn American flag to your chest and tell people you're as patriotic as anyone. You don't even have to feel like you're "faking" it. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama is going to catch a world of hurt for his comments to an Iowa TV station on Wednesday. When asked why he doesn't wear an American flag on his lapel, the Democratic presidential candidate gave an answer that was right in one way but wrong, wrong, wrong in so many others. We believe in candor and honesty. But a presidential candidate should choose his words carefully, and Obama's latest spouting off makes us question his judgment. Is this what we can expect when he diverts from his meticulous talking points? Obama has worked hard to stake out a centrist position, but his polarizing comments make him sound like a hardened leftist. In Illinois, we're proud that one of our own is making a bid for the White House. We even moved our presidential primary to give him a boost, and then in one unscripted moment, he undermines his whole campaign. Stuck behind Hillary Clinton, Obama's national popularity rating among Democrats is bobbing at 20 percent. His campaign can suffer no more gaffes. If this pin flap doesn't deflate Obama's bid, he'll have to think before he speaks next time.<
