"Perhaps more troublesome for Clinton is that 52% have an unfavorable opinion of her in the poll, versus 45% who have a favorable view. By comparison, Obama has a 52%-27% fav/unfav rating.
In the GOP field, Giuliani is at 35%, McCain at 22%, Fred Thompson at 10%, and Romney at 9%. Moreover, the poll finds that just 36% approve of Bush's job; only 25% approve of Alberto Gonzales' job; and just 26% believe the troop surge in Iraq is making the situation there better."
From the Post-Chronicle
"Many civic and government leaders called for Imus's resignation or termination. Many will give Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson credit. Truth be told, they had nothing to do with it.
If it were not for the words of Democratic Presedential hopeful from Illinois, Sen. Barack Obama, Imus probably would have kept his job. Sharpton and Jackson's credibility is shaky at best and their theatrics are well documented.
No, it was the word of a soft-spoken man, a black man, vying for the most powerful post in the world that is responsible.
Sen. Barack Obama is the only 2008 presidential hopeful from either party to say that radio host Don Imus should be fired over the racial slurs. Sen. McCain, a regular on the Imus show in the past, simply accepted Imus's apology and thought the issue should die there. Rudolph Giuliani said the same after basically being hunted down like a dog.
Hillary Clinton caught flat-footed as usual, said basically nothing. She simply stated that she was never on his show and never would be.
Obama On Wednesday told ABC News he thought Imus should be fired and that he would never appear on the "Imus In The Morning" show again. Obama said Imus' remarks fed "some of the worst stereotypes" his own daughters face in America. Obama called the comments "degrading."
Obama is the new voice of Black America and the Democratic Presidential candidate just flexed his muscle."
