The DNC's Terry McAuliffe mind-set ruined the campaigns of Algore, John Kerry, and Senator Clinton, and now the legions of McAuliffe-ites who have surrounded Barack Obama are doing their best to undermine the possibility of his presidency. Terry McAuliffe and his operatives have infiltrated the Obama campaign for the express purpose of sabotaging it. There's a well sourced rumor of Machiavellian proportions running around that what's going to happen is that his base support, Obama's, will be so demoralized, they won't have the vital conviction they'll need this August to withstand a McAuliffe push to persuade disenchanted delegates on the floor of the convention to make a resurgent Hillary Clinton the party's nominee. You couple this with Obama's plane, Fort Marcy Airlines having to take a detour to St. Louis for a mechanical problem, you get the left-wing kooks out there who are just convinced as they can be that the Clintons are not out of the picture, that they're still mobilizing behind the scenes to take down Obama, and believe me, they do believe this. So a ripe opportunity here for Operation Chaos.

Iran, the second-largest oil producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, has been sending mixed signals over its nuclear programme and the possibility for conflict in the region amid an escalating war of words with Israel. An aide to OPEC-member Iran's Supreme Leader was quoted on Tuesday as saying that Iran would hit Tel Aviv, U.S. shipping in the Gulf and American interests around the world if it is attacked over its disputed nuclear activities. Oil prices are up 42 percent this year, boosted in part by investors seeking a hedge against inflation and the weakening dollar, or fleeing a downturn in equity markets, but the latest recovery in other markets walloped commodities on Tuesday. Overall commodities including oil, gold, copper and corn are seen weakening with the dollar gains," said Ku Ja-Kwon, chief researcher at Korea National Oil Corp. Later on Wednesday traders will shift focus to weekly U.S. oil inventory data expected to show a 1.8 million-barrel decline in crude stocks, a fall of 200,000 barrels in gasoline supplies and an increase of 1.9 million barrels in distillates.
