No time to rest
Sen. Barack Obama isn’t expected to be done with the Democratic debate at Cleveland State University until sometime after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, but with the Ohio primary campaign in its final week, he won’t be stopping for the night just yet.
After the debate with Sen. Hillary Clinton, Obama will go to a Cleveland area company and meet with workers who are members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt. The union endorsed him on Wednesday.

If Obama gets the nomination to run for president on the democratic ticket, I’m going to write in Larry The Cable Guy ! They both have about the same running credentialsBy Christine

I am concerned about Obama’s truthfulness! “Senator Obama’s insistence on repeating attacks that have been demonstrated to be false by independent entities proves once and for all that his speeches about the new politics are just words. That’s not change you can believe in.” —Clinton spokesman Phil Singer On Sunday, Sen. Obama said the following: And yesterday, Senator Clinton also said I’m wrong to point out that she once supported NAFTA. But the fact is, she was saying great things about NAFTA until she started running for President. This is false. Hillary criticized Sen. Obama for sending out a mailer that claimed she said NAFTA was a “boon to the economy” when she never did. FactCheck.org concluded “We do judge that the Obama campaign is wrong to quote Clinton as using words she never uttered, and it has produced little evidence that she ever had strong praise of any sort for NAFTA’s economic benefits.” Hillary has been critical of NAFTA long before she started running for President. For example, here’s Hillary in March 2000: What happened to NAFTA I think was we inherited an agreement that we didn’t get everything we should have got out of it in my opinion. I think the NAFTA agreement was flawed. The problem is we have to go back and figure out how we are going to fix that. [Working Families Party, 3/26/00] Sen. Obama touts his consistent opposition to NAFTA. But speaking in Illinois in 2004 Obama said the United States “benefited enormously” from exports under NAFTA and talked about the need to continue to pursue trade agreement like NAFTA that support “a system of free trade in this nation that allows us to move our products overseas.”
