loves Jesus, loves America too

It’s fun to watch Barack Obama slither toward the center, isn’t it:

In case you missed it, Barack Obama’s American flag lapel pin is back. How long it will stay on is anyone’s guess.

If you blinked, you missed John Edwards’s endorsement of Obama earlier this week.  In that case, you also missed Edwards’s lavish praise of Hillary Clinton [e.a.]:

Mr. Edwards spent several minutes praising Mrs. Clinton, which was met by loud boos by the largely white crowd who had filled the arena with no knowledge of the endorsement to come.

He called her a capable senator and a stalwart campaigner who deserved respect for tenacity and service. “We are a stronger party because Hillary Clinton is a Democrat, we are a stronger country because of her years of public service, and we’re going to have a stronger presidential nominee in the fall because of her work.”

Hmmm. What ever could he mean?
