Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is making preparations to visit Casper and Laramie this week, sources close to the campaign say. An official at Natrona County International Airport, who spoke on condition that he not be named, confirmed that Obama plans to come to Casper within the week. Information about where the candidate may speak was not available. Meanwhile, the Obama campaign and the University of Wyoming are expected to announce Wednesday morning details of the candidate's appearance at the Arena-Auditorium in Laramie. Neither the Obama campaign nor UW officials would confirm the Wyoming visit. A source close to the campaign said the candidate is expected to speak in Laramie on Friday night. State Democratic Party Chairman John Millin of Cheyenne said he didn't think the Obama campaign had made a final decision about a visit to Wyoming, where Democrats will hold county caucuses on Saturday. But he said he knew that the campaign had been "exploring possibilities" with UW officials about an appearance there. "It's a lot easier to cancel at the last minute than to put something together," Millin said.

REAL News you won't see on TV:
Obama is the pre-packaged "New & Improved Chocolate Flavor" Presidential candidate being Marketed like a PRODUCT - hyped & PUSHED by GE and its WHOLLY-Owned subsidiaries NBC & MSNBC...along with Westinghouse & its subsidiary CBS...while slamming the Clintons all day every day. (Assisted by...CNN/FOX/ and a lot of newspaper & radio media dependent on advertising$$.)
GE is the 2nd largest corporation on the planet.
Obama is IN with the Nuclear Industry: Excelon Corp of Illinois has been one of his largest contributors from his entry into politics to the present. Excelon is the largest nuke operator on the planet;owns Con-Ed of NY; more nukes in Illinois than any other state.
GE, Westinghouse, Excelon & 3 consortiums of other companies are planning to build 29 new nuclear power plants. Their Wholly-Owned & Wholly Influenced "News" media are selling the Obama Product because Obama is in favor of Nukes.
In 2005 Obama Voted FOR the Cheney Energy Bill (H.R.6) which ENABLED the nuke industry to make its Plans to build 29 new nukes-by Guaranteeing Taxpayer Payback of any nuke loans that default. (No nukes were built for the past 30 years because the banks wouldn't loan the money - too risky)
Obama Voted FOR the Cheney Energy Bill-despite the fact the Congressional Budget Office rated the risk of default on the nuke loans at 50% or greater. (Does that sound like...GOOD...JUDGMENT to You?)
[NY Times has several articles about the nuke plans & a map showing all 29 locations; Wikipedia covers the subject]
Clinton Voed AGAINST the Cheney Energy Bill and said her Energy Plan does not include nuclear.
? "Its about the FUTURE...Turn The PAGE" ?
Nope. ts about Turning the PAGE BACK to the PAST: Obsloete 50 yr old nuke power plants-the dirtiest most expensive kind/centrally-controlled MONOPOLY POWER-instead of inventing New, Clean, Green De-Centralized inexpensive Energy.
An ad campaign has already begun on the TV media to re-package & re-name nuclear power plants as: GREEN & CLEAN -for-everybody too young to remember the 1970's anti-nuke movement and all the Bad News about nuclear energy.
Don't be taken in by the ad campaigns-Google:'nuclear waste dumps' & read about the hundreds of BILLIONS of gallons of nuke waste at the Hanford Washington dump; 140 tons of plutonium stored at Rocky Flats, Colorado; Barnwell, South Carolina; leaking into groundwater and rivers; plutonium released into the air around Denver from 500 instances of fires at Rocky Flats; stored on-site at every nuke reactor in America...presenting hundreds of potential "dirty bomb" targets for terrorists.
Is it true that Obama takes No Contributions/NO MONEY from Registered Federal Lobbyists?
Yes. It's a LawyerSpeak/Trick of: Speaking a Small truth covering up a Big Lie.
Nope, doesn't take money from REGISTERED FEDERAL Lobbyists.
DOES take money from STATE Lobbyists, Not Registered Lobbyists, AND the wives, husbands, law partners, aunts, uncles cousins...of Registered Federal Lobbyists. Gets money from the same big corporate donors as any other candidate.
Obama's campaign finances are involved in the prosecution (by Patrick Fitzgerald)and trial of his friend of 20 years Antoin Rezko. Some of the funds... allegedly...extorted by Rezko went into Obama's campaign coffers. Curiously, Iraqi Power Plants amd fraud are also involved in Rezko's trial. (Google: Obama -Rezko- Alsammarae-Auichi- IRAQ POWER PLANTS)
GE & the same wealthy people who sold the "new & improved vanilla flavor" Presidential PRODUCTS: Reagan & Bush/s 1 & 2 - are behind the massive ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN to sell you OBAMA.
At the beginning of this campaign season a large majority of voters were looking forward to electing Clinton. Then Obama stepped in and started the dirty campaigning that has created the DIVISION he so hypocritically decries. Obama played "the race card" so he could win in South Carolina. He was caught red-handed playing that race card-but the media blamed it on Clinton-even though they all knew they were pushing the Big Lie.
With nearly ALL "the mainstream media" pimping for Obama & slamming, smearing, and lying about the Clintons-it is truly amazing enough voters have seen thru the Media-Created Obama "movement"-for Clinton to STILL be in the race.
The only way a very small minority can CONTROL a very large Majority is: DIVIDE & CONQUER-Exactly the same Republican Strategy/Deception they have successfully pulled for most of the last century And ALL of this century, so far. . .
GE, the nuke industry/wealthy have hedged their bets & they will get Billions of your money via 29 new nukes IF either Obama or McCain is elected President.
Ladies & Gentlemen, Dads & Moms buy nothing GE & Westinghouse are selling - not Obama, not a washing machine, a dishwasher, 29 nuke power plants, or a garbage disposer .... because there is no garbage disposer for Radioactive Nuke Waste. Do not allow them to poison the earth and your children anymore.

You didn't lose - yet. Isn't it amazing that you won both major states yesterday, and you're still no closer than you were March 3rd.
Of course, expect for the gap to widen this week after WY and MS. But that's nothing to worry your smarmy, unsightly head about. After all - Americans in WY and MS, and 26 other states don't matter. Essentially no one who votes against you matters.
Should you somehow weasel this nomination away from the voters - you will lose BIG, and America will lose even bigger. But again, don't worry - after all, you'll be fine.
Obama will be the nominee now - or in '12. I'd rather skip the four years of pain in between. However, if Hillary feels that President McCain sounds better than President Obama, please proceed with your plan to destroy the democratic party and America.

If you have done your research on Obama's voting record, you should already know about his "oops" and "present" votes in the Illinois senate and him dodging the Iran resolution vote in the United States senate. He has been planning to run for president for several years and has been basing many of his votes on how he wants his actual voting record to read. It is well known that senators have a difficult time running for President because opponents can go after their voting history.
If Obama gets the presidency, one of his personal goals will be to win a second term in 2012. ALL people who vote for him should take the responsibility to speak out if they see a pattern emerging of his decisions being based on what he wants his record to read instead of what is best for our country.
I heard Oprah say that she is supporting Obama because he is brilliant. His "oops" votes in the Illinois senate indicate he's not brilliant. It indicates he knows how to manipulate his voting record.
"I was not aware that I had voted no...I intended to vote yes.""I was trying to vote yes, and I was recorded as a no." It ended up that he voted present."I pressed the wrong button on that.""I pressed the wrong button by accident.""I'd like to be recorded as a no vote...I mistakenly voted for it.""I was not aware that I had voted no on that last piece of legislation."
The rules allow state lawmakers to clear up a mishap if they suffered from a momentary case of stumbly fingers or a lapse of attention. But some lawmakers say the practice also offers a relatively painless way to placate both sides of a difficult issue. Even if a lawmaker admits an error, the actual vote stands and the official record merely shows the senator's "intent".
You can read the entire Los Angeles Times "oops" article at:www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-obamavotes24,1,7079399.story
The article ends with Illinois Senator Hendon saying he is supporting the senator all the way. He said, "it happens" that senators press the wrong button. But he was quick to add: "I've never done it."
Recently he stayed on the campaign trail and dodged the important IRAN resolution. Later, he apologized for that and changed the subject. He was against that resolution but obviously didn't want a vote against it on his record.

It won't stop with Iran. We'll just keep on going and our country will be less safe over the long…"
Obama had been dismissing Clinton's recent ad as fear-mongering. Some people may not think what he said s fear mongering. I do. People in Chicago and parents of our college graduates and non-college young people may be fearful because of what he said.
These videos are titled, (Obama yells at elderly Iowa voter), and (Barack Obama Answers National Security Questions).

Obama maintains his relationship with Rezko was "above board and legal" but has admitted bad judgment, calling his decision to involve Rezko "a bone-headed mistake."
Rezko's behind-the-scenes connection in the Obama house deal became public as Rezko revealed personal financial details as he sought to post bail.
While Rezko's wife paid the full asking price for the land, Obama paid $300,000 under the asking price for the house. The house sold for $1,650,000 and the price Rezko's wife paid for the land was $625,000. "

In short, he is a politician and nothing more. He gives great speeches which is a major change from our current President. However, he is just too green for the job. This country is at a crossroads, and it is not the time to gamble on Obama. Please THINK before you vote...don't just HOPE Obama will mature while in office into the person we all want him to be.

Wyoming gets a chance to make history. I have read his blue-print for change . . .and it is detailed.
As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Obama passed legislation to improve care and slash red tape for our wounded warriors recovering at places like Walter Reed. He passed laws to help homeless veterans and offered an innovative solution to prevent at-risk veterans from falling into homelessness. Obama led a bipartisan effort in the Senate to try to halt the military's unfair practice of discharging service members for having a service-connected psychological injury.
Don't believe the mud thrown by the Clinton - "the most secretive politician in America"
Show America that we can read in Wyoming. Obama has the charisma to win in November, AND the plan. "

Get real. If you want the Chicago scoop on Obama, read the Chicago Reader article from 1995, BEFORE he was running for a national office.
http://www.chicagoreader.com/obama/951208/
I'm from Chicago, born and bred. The Chicago Reader is the free paper that takes pot shots at EVERYONE, Daley, Stroger, Madigan, police, anyone who deserves it. Very well respected paper.
The smartest voter is an INFORMED voter, who does their own research and is open to ALL sides of the story.
What I liked about the article is that it explained his community organizing. I had never seen detail on that before, including the part where he gave up a lucrative job offer to earn $1000 a month to better people's lives. Read the article. It's interesting.
What I like about him over Clinton, is that he actually HAD to work for a living.
Clinton got out of law school, paid for by her parents I guess, she never mentioned student loans or scholarships, worked for the Children's Defense Fund for a year as a lawyer, went on to impeach Nixon, married Bill and moved to the governor's mansion. She never even had to run a household let alone a country. And she bankrupted her own campaign fund. How scary is that? Reminds me of Bush bankrupting every business he ever touched, then bankrupting the country. "
