As we post each morning, here are the political buzz stories headlining the newspapers and blogs before you head to work today:

• IRAQ President Bush is threatening to veto any attachments to his $108 billion Iraq bill.
• WEDGE ISSUES Vice President Dick Cheney tried resurrecting the Jeremiah Wright controversy this week: "I thought the controversy over Reverend Wright was remarkable. Ithought some of the things he said were absolutely appalling. And, youknow, I haven’t gotten into the business of trying to judge how SenatorObama dealt with it, or didn’t deal with it, but I really — I think,like most Americans, I was stunned at what the Reverend was preachingin his church and then putting up on his website."
• 2008 ELECTION/PRESIDENTIAL The Teamsters Union is rallying around Obama and is trying to help him win by pointing out his longstanding criticism of NAFTA.
• 2008 ELECTION/PRESIDENTIAL Democrats nationwide (Gallup): Obama - 50%, Clinton - 42%.
• 2008 ELECTION/PRESIDENTIAL Democrats nationwide (Rasmussen): Obama - 48%, Clinton - 41%.

These are sad times in the history of this country.what president Bush and both sides of the isle have done to this country is appalling.The president has treated the Bill of Rights and the constitution like toilet paper, and congress has gone right along with him.The result is indeed as Senator Obama Barrak has stated and gotten much flak for, the middle class working Americans are indeed frustrated and mad.If anyone thinks that putting the democrats in power would solve things is as sick as the incompetents trying to run the show now.Both parties are corrupt to the core with no one in mind but corporations and themselves.What all of this is leading to is financial disaster for many Americans and the US Treasury.We citizens break the law , we go to jail.when the president or congress does it nothing is done, where is the morality of this thinking.The best thing that could happen to this country is to vote out of office every single incumbent and start over fresh.God bless the people of this country.
