If it did not happen, then why did the Obama campaign refuse to deny the call had been made?

Where there is smoke there is fire.

Can anyone say cover-up? Amazing that the MSM continues to cover for Obama. Incredible bias!

This comment will probably not even be posted. ABC

I am sure I will get blasted for this comment - but it is meant to be thought over first, then trashed if it has no merit:

It has become very plain - the masters behind the news readers and their networks have a plan - now if that entails shafting Experience in favor of Incompitent Amateurism - or if it entails ridding the mix of anyone who’ll recognize sinister intent and block it, I don’t know. But it is obvious to me, those that own the media or moving things in a deliberate way, to put the least qualified, most out-matched, and frankly defenseless victim in office.

And this proves yet again, that throughout the last half century, we have been deliberately dumbed down, fattened up, drugged out, and indebted to the point we cannot runaway nor can we rebel. We are too slow, too lazy, too distracted, too poor, too ill, and too dumb to take action - and that is exactly the way they want it. Sort of like Communism, with frosting.

The Russians made the very stupid mistake of crowding their tired, poor, cold, and hungry population into one room, in one small apartment, in the dark, and without distractions or the pretenses of choice.

The New America, that controlled utterly by hand and fist and wallet, is still without true choice or effect on the real blockages in their lives. It is a lot like a Russia in that some electoral college, behind closed doors somewhere, votes in our leader (Politbureau?), or the high courts, appointed by said leaders for life, choose them for us. Anyone ever see a college course to take to become a member of the Electoral College? Ever met someone who was a member? Ever seen a job opening for such a position? Ever been to a meeting? No, chances are you haven’t.

We have nice homes, cars, Internet, plenty of excess food available (whether we can afford it, that is another story). The point is, we have all the accoutrements of luxury available but with just as little truth in the media, and just as little power as any communist worker, in any Soviet-Style Factory. We are just given distractions to keep our mouths shut. When you have a flat screen jumbo plasma TV blathering Girls Gone Wild and ESPN who’s complaining? When you are 300 pounds on a 5 ft. frame, and the supermarket is open 24 hrs. with even more calories waiting - who can complain? And when you vote one way, but the media and your courts and your system choose someone else for you - who can complain, so long as you have all the goodies (and the HUGE debts that go with them) at hand?

The debt is a form of control through covert realms. The loss of freedom and privacy is paraded as the cost of protecting the nation from attack that might have been allowed or sponsored by that same nation. You create the problem, you wait for the demand to fix that problem, and then you impliment the very solution you wanted before the event.

I feel we are in danger of being passified by material goods, diverted from science (so we don’t recognize impossibilities occurring in front of our eyes) and from math (so we can’t use that perfect language to prove we are being taken for a ride). We are bombarded by idiocy for the Idiot Boxes we languish in front of. The media spoon-feeds us like vegetables in half-comas. We believe what we are told and we act on it, like sheep in a herd, with no minds of our own, but rather the herd mentality that says ‘follow the ass in front of you’, even if it is off a cliff.

This deliberate, painstakingly direct movement to place Obama in a position of power is such a cliff. They have one-upped W. Bush this time. You see, the imposter we have actually BELIEVES he is compitent and not out of his league. He actually BELIEVES he can do something about things no genius or general has been able to do since Lincoln 143 years past. Obama actually BELIEVES he is a sort of ‘Messiah Of The People’, like an arabic blended Evita. But he is without the talent to create his own voice. She said ‘I shall return and I shall be millions’. She knew who was in control, and for her brief life, she went right at them, throat and dagger. And the poor for a small time DID get a few things from the Government. But Obama is without the brain to take down the Oligarchy that wants us all robots on production lines. He is being placed their by this Structure, to be controlled from behind like Cheney controls Bush with his fingers up W’s shirt. Obama is dangerous because he believes he is pulling the strings and he is dangerous because he can’t see his own connections to the Puppeteer.

And we can do nothing to stop this. McCain is next to go. Nadar will not be allowed to be a factor. Bloomberg, with his billions, has been told by someone with many more billions even then he, not to enter the race, so today, he tells the world, he won’t enter the race. And all the while, the dumbed down, senseless and fat, uneducated and illiterate masses march along, thinking they are free because they cannot see their chains.

Well thanks for this bit but we will see what CTV has to say in reply to this new piece of information.

The Obama campaign has released a statement that didn't address whether the conversation had happened but did say that the report inaccurately represented Obama's position on NAFTA.

Sounds like spin to me.

It appears that the conversations took place, otherwise, why won't the Obama campaign deny that the calls took place? Why are they dancing around the issue?

Where there is smoke, there is fire. I think there is more to this story than what the Obama campaign and MSM would have us believe.

Just about anyone who follows politics closely knows, the farther afield from which the slander come, the more it names who is the one to beat.

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Gandhi

Obama pointed out how much Clinton danced around, not saying she had anything to do with the Drudge Report pictures, and here we have it AGAIN - what is good for the opponent is never good for me.

Deny. Distort. Dodge. Misdirect. Obfuscate. Distract.

The scary part is, no matter how much anyone comes up with negatives, no matter what the source is, his supporters will never believe it. He could shoot up half his audience with his own machine gun, in his hands, and they would say it was a photoshop moment, or a network trick.

Nothing is going to equal legitimate proof. That is the very essence of a cult; immediately, violently rush to the defense of your leader, without question or consideration of facts. Never even glimpse a shred of anything counter to your beliefs. Only recite proof provided by the leader as true evidence. Attack and threaten anyone in the way of the express train. Destroy anyone's character that stands up to the leader. Blacklist and coordinate groups to apply pressure to businesses and media outlets in order to maintain the leader's perspective only.

This may be lightweight material here, NAFTA Canada Mexico. But there are tons of direct evidence against this man on his voting record, or lackthereof. On his dealings with Rezko. On his Bills he didn't write but says he did. On his origins, both racially and financially. On his inspiration (articles sited that do not and never have existed). On the massive, unending distortions of his life in his books. His wifes envolvement in the unseamly U of C hospital and Treehouse. On his taking massive amounts of money from PAC and Lobbyists - about 47 of them so far.

But all of that is just an evil lie, out to smear the Leader. Commrades, unite and weed out the enemy amongst us.

These people sound like 1984 Party Members and the Party is not even in power yet. Brainwashing won't be required - it has already happened.

This is madness. The Obama camp said it neevr happened, the Canadian embassy said it nevr happened, yet Hillary's insane, illiterate horde says it did. What part of "It never happened" don't you morons understand? It looks like the media favors Obama because unlike Hillary, the man has no dirt. There is no difference between the media coverage Obama gets and that which is given to McCain. They are both good guys, unlike Hillary. Hillary's people, please stop making a fool of yourselves.

Hillary campaign if you are going to pay the price of going negative, throw real punches.

Dont you realise that whatever way you attempt does not work at all. People are full aware.

Sounds to me like another Clinton dirty trick. Bill has developed a lot of contacts in Ottawa since leaving the White House - maybe through one of those people.

Some of you idiots here better get your facts straight. Next week Hillary will bow out of the race (for the good of the party) and Obama will go on to win in November. Did you see the knockout punch Barack threw McCain yesterday. McMore-War hasn't been able to stand up yet. Obama 2008!

PT
Mr. Uniter has splintered the Democrat party so bad that if Hillary drops out her votes are not going to him.

Obama is an empty suit. Did this phone call to Canada happen. I dont know, but would it surprise me in the slightest? Nope.

There doesnt seem to be a real reason for the phone call though. So I doubt it.

What the hell is wrong with you people!! The report is FALSE!! Whether you support Obama or Clinton or McCain, please stop spreading your ignorance virus over the internet. I pray that none of you own a gun, drive a vehicle larger than a bicycle, or have young impressionable children that you are raising.

Did Obama's campaign pull a Lewis stunt on a foreign Embassy?

Why did Lewis change all of a sudden, when a minister said he would campaign for Lewis's seat?

Is this not what had been reported before as a tactic Obama's campaign was doing, like when Obama during each of his prior campaigns did back door dirty politics by having opponents disallowed over rediculous means, and opened up his rival US Senate candidates divorce record that was under seal?

This guy Obama is the dirtiest politician in recent memory and beware those who oppose him, he will turn it into another spin, just as his wife did with former President Clinton calling Obama's stance on the Iraq war a fairy tale, Obama's wife spun it into a racial remark of it being "what a fairy tale that a black man cannot become President"!

I hope one day we do not hear from a foreign country that a candidate threatened them in future dealings if they leaked out information! But with Obama's record and style of politics, nothing would suprise me!

And anyone who thinks his returning Rezko's money to charity was a good thing, think again, he didn't pay for it out of his own pocket, everyone who contributed to his Presidential campaign payed it! Is this change? No a sleeze way to a status quo is still a sleeze when the sleeze is still profiting from the sleezey way he got his present status!

One more thing, got to CTV.CA and see, it is the Canadian channel for Oprah, so has she influenced or will she influence that network to change its story?

Why do we have to be idiots? I am no idiot, but one thing I do know is that this is getting out of hand. Everyday there is something else to try to throw supporters of Obama. We aren't buying into any of this crap, so let's stick to the facts and stop all the name calling, after all we are all in the same party.

The Obama campaign denies this today, but not when asked by the reporter yesterday!The Canadian Embassy today in the U.S. denies this. Then again, did anyone expect the Ambassador's office to come out and say, "yes, I will confirm this tremendously damaging report about Senator Obama several days before contests where he could effectively wrap-up the nomination, and thus ensure that I, my embassy, and my country are on the you-know-what list of a man who is potentially the next U.S. President"?

Give me a break, Chicago politics against a foreign country now too Obama style! What threats did Obama's campaign make towards a foreign government?

US HAS ALREADY BEEN BOMBING IN PAKISTAN!
Only, the STRIKES are supposed to be 'secret'. lol

Anyone in the know, recognizes that those SILENT & 'INVISIBLE' drones that are dropping missiles in the Bad Lands of Pakistan cannot be Pakistani; because the Pakistanis DO NOT own 'invisible' and noiseless air crafts from which to fire missiles!

Therefore McCain is either ignorant or playing politics as usual when he called out Obama over the plant to go after maniac muslims in Pakistan.

New Yorker - there's nothing secret about this. These are U.S. strikes. About a week ago, the U.S. took credit for killing the number three guy inside al Qaeda.

But I do agree it makes McCain look a little silly. I wonder if he now is going to call Bush naive, for actually executing the strikes Obama has been calling for since last summer.

Oh Hillary...your campaign stoops to an even lower level every day.
