CHICAGO, IL – Senator Obama today announced the formation of his Senior Working Group on National Security, a group of advisors that he will consult on a regular basis between now and the election. Obama will meet with the group for the first time today in Washington, DC for a wide-ranging discussion of the immense challenges faced by the United States in the wake of the disastrous foreign policies of George Bush.

“Each individual here today has provided extraordinary service to our nation in the executive branch and Congress. Several have been advising my campaign for some time. We’re also honored to be joined by some of Senator Clinton’s senior advisors. In the months to come, we’ll be reaching out to others, as well as leaders in Congress,” Senator Obama said. “The stakes in this election could not be higher. John McCain wants to continue George Bush's foreign policy which has made us less safe, less respected, and less able to lead the world. It's time to change course. It's time to end the war in Iraq responsibly, refocus on Afghanistan and al Qaeda, and renew our global leadership so that we can tackle the huge challenges of the 21st century.”

Later today, he will also meet with a group of nearly 40 retired Admirals and Generals to discuss the state of our armed forces, and the challenges facing our military in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world. This meeting is part of an ongoing dialogue between Senator Obama and current and former military officers of various ranks and views.

"At O'Reilly, we always say 'Create more value than you capture.' All successful companies do this. Once they start capturing more value than they create, their market position erodes, and someone displaces them."

Crooks and Liars » Colbert Issues John McCain ‘Green Screen Challenge’

Stephen Colbert’s first “green screen challenge” back in 2006 was so successful, he’s decided to issue another one to the citizens of Colbert Nation. This time around, Stephen is asking his viewers to turn their creative sights on John McCain and his horrendously boring speech earlier this month in front of that now-infamous lime green screen. Enjoy!
