Hey, get a load of this.
Today, FoxNews owner Rupert Murdoch ENDORSED OBAMA. Murdoch says that even though he is a Republican and an arch-conservative, he can't possibly vote for McCain, since McCain is "very weak on the economy."
RUPERT MURDOCH PREDICTED THAT OBAMA WILL WIN.
RUPERT MURDOCH IS VOTING FOR OBAMA.
Imagine if FoxNews stops bashing Obama, and begins to support him.
In related news, WARREN BUFFETT, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and the richest man in the world, came out in support of Obama recently. Mr. Buffett said that although he admires Hillary Clinton and has supported her in the past, he feels that Senator Obama will do the most good for America, and positively charge the economy.
Warren Buffett and Rupert Murdoch are worlds apart in terms of political ideas. However, they are both wealthy investors and businessmen, and they both know that of the three candidates, only Obama has was it takes to turn the around the recession, before it becomes a depression.

Clinton hasn't always sided with her friend's clients. In 2006, Ickes represented TransCanada Corp., an energy company whose subsidiary wanted to build a liquid natural gas pipeline in the Long Island Sound. Clinton and Schumer vehemently opposed the idea and joined with New York and Connecticut lawmakers to stifle its construction. Clinton proposed legislation earlier this year that would strip the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of its authority to allow companies to build such facilities in state water. In March, FERC gave Shell and TransCanada permission to build the facility—called Broadwater Energy—in the Long Island Sound.
This weekend, Ickes will be engaged in lobbying of a different sort: He will be a leading advocate for Clinton at this weekend's meeting of the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee where he will try to have the embattled delegations from Michigan and Florida seated in August's convention.
