He has challenged Sarah Palin to a game of basketball.

And even here she has more experience than he does!

Anyone think he can win the basketball game?

fully in the Olympics due to China's human rights atrocities, Barack offered this response when asked:

Obama said in a TV interview earlier this month that he was "of two minds" when it came to full U.S. participation in the Olympics.

Why does Obama get to take both sides of the fence on this issue?

Wall Street Surges on UBS and Lehman Brothers Stock News, Better-Than-Expected Economic Data

NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street began the second quarter with a big rally Tuesday as investors rushed back into stocks, optimistic that the worst of the credit crisis has passed and that the economy is faring better than expected. The Dow Jones industrials surged nearly 400 points, and all the major indexes were up more than 3 percent.

Financial stocks were among the big winners after Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Switzerland's UBS AG issued new shares to help bolster their balance sheets. With that upbeat news and a fresh quarter ahead of them, investors appear quite willing to make some bets that the worst of the damage from the nation's credit struggles has been felt. Moreover, the banks' moves buttressed the view that financial services companies are taking aggressive action to improve their capital bases and stave off the potential of a collapse

when it was even lower in the mid 90's, and came back. The mid 90's saw a rate of 85 ¥ to the dollar, where now it is only 99 ¥ to the dollar.

can anyone continue to support him? He is the desired candidate for all the Middle Eastern groups that want to harm the US.

From Yahoo news:

An Iranian political analyst, who declined to be identified, said that while the authorities were publicly keeping their distance from the U.S. election campaign, their preference appeared to be for Democratic candidate Barak Obama.

"I guess they look at McCain as some sort of continuity of the present situation. I can't say for sure, but from their positions, I gather they will not like a repetition of Republican rule," the analyst said.

"(McCain) has confirmed the American intention to keep American troops in Iraq. This is something that is against the wish of Iran. They want the Americans to be gone, and the issue to be sorted our regionally, in which Iran will play a big part," the analyst said.

A Palestinian gunman bravely opened fire in an Israeli schoolhouse, killing several children. Hamas called the attack "heroic" and Palestinians were seen cheering, dancing, and praising the attack.

The Palestinians must have been disappointed no babies were killed in this brave attack.

They attack him personally, call him names, demean him, and state their hate. What they never do is argue against what he has said.

Is this a perfect case of attacking the messenger when you can't attack the message?

Obama may be Christian, but why do his followers dismiss his strong Muslim ties? His brother is an acknowledged radical Muslim, and they communicate often. One of his biggest supporters and confidants is Louis Farrakhan, and acknowledged hater of Jews and Whites.

I've said all along that OSU has not faced a top rated team, and that their defensive numbers are based on playing weak teams.

ESPN is reporting that a Plus-1 format with top four seeding is being considered. Here is a quote from the article:

the SEC, ACC, Big East and Big 12 are open to discussing the "plus-one" format. The Big Ten and Pac-10 have been opposed to it.

Isn't it strange that the two conferences that avoid adding schools so they don't have to play a conference title game are against the Plus-1 concept?

It's a shame when you play in the NC game without playing a top 20 team all year, and do not play a conference title game. Looks like they still want to win by avoiding competition.

All rah-rah aside, Hawaii showed how playing non-competitive teams hurt against a top 20 team. Are any of you OSU fans concerned that this will be the first game for OSU against a top 20 caliber team this season?

Hawaii didn't belong in a BCS bowl and it showed tonight. Teams who don't play any competition should not be rewarded.

since their big win were against Boise St. and 4-9 Washington? Boise St. just lost to East Carolina.

Hawaii was given a gift of a BCS game. They simply do not belong with the big boys.

That it has been reported and verified that he was seen in Baton Rouge the week before the SEC title game talking with LSU Alums and board members about the possible coaching position that would be available if Miles took the Michigan position? Didn't you commit to him for $32 million even if he left tomorrow?

Take your best shot; we can handle it! We don't hide behind weak schedules and weak conferences. We play more top rated teams than anyone else. Just remember, when taking shots at us, most of you are still shooting up!

It seems some openings will happen in the head coach position at major schools. Two I immediately think of are Nebraska and Texas A&M. Who do you think is in line for these positions. And has Lloyd Carr saved his job?
