Bring Obama Barack is Back

Sorry for the hiatus, I haven't written about Barack Obama in over a month. Summer time and the livings easy...

But it hasn't been easy for dear old Barack. His honeymoon as the underdog in this race seems to be over. He's now listed as a "front runner" but he's still behind Hillary in most polls.

Barack kicked up some dust over Pakistan this week. He basically said that if he was POTUS and he had concrete evidence of al Queda being protected in Pak, he'd bust in there to get them anyway. Hillary scolded him for being politically insensitive. The rest of the Dems tried to stay out of it.

The real story for Barack this month is Unions. More specifically union support - which he desperately needs. So far most unions seem to be supporting Hillary Clinton or John Edwards, and Barack is finding himself in the middle, which is a terrible place to be for a primary election. He needs to win over some of the big unions to secure grassroots support, and he needs to do that fast.
