George Dubya makes his dad look less bad...

Quote of the Day:

...George W. Bush has done his father a great service by making him look like a greater President than he probably was.

Jon Snow, Channel 4 News, commenting on today's historic power lunch at the White House, the first such gathering of all living Presidents of the United States for a generation. It was the idea of President-Elect Barack Obama, hosted by Dubya and also attended by President George Bush senior, President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter.

Four white men. One black man. No women.

How Americans exploit u-tube in race for White House...

Fascinating to see how the latest technology is quickly exploited in American campaigning. Here, Barack Obama attempts to shore up his support by emailing his supporters with clips of a TV debate with other front runners for the Democrat ticket.

He was trying to clarify his controversial comments on intervention in Pakistan to deal with terrorists in Pakistan which angered many hard-line Democrats.

Obama, campaigning to be the first black President, came out fighting after slipping further behind Hillary Clinton, who is campaigning to be the first female President.
