Presidential candidate Barack Obama wants to become the nominee of the Democratic Party, but in little Rhode Island his campaign is talking about a house party.

Make that house parties -- 21 in all around the state -- leading up to the March 4 primary in which Rhode Island, Texas, Ohio, and Vermont may turn out to be crucial in the nomination battle between Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.

The Obama campaign said in today's news release the house parties are "organized and hosted by grassroots volunteers" and will give the state's Obama supporters a chance to talk with friends and neighbors "about why Senator Obama is the best candidate to unite our country and bring about change we can believe in."

Meanwhile, Clinton is slated to hold one big get-together -- at Rhode Island College for a rally this Sunday.

She will appear at a 1:30 p.m. for thhe "Solutions for America" rally at RIC's recreation center in Providence, her campaign said. Doors open at 11:30 a.m.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is slated to visit Rhode Island on Feb. 28.

OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. WE ELECTED A PRESIDENT 7 YEARS AGO WITH VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE! YOU DO NOT SEND A RECRUIT TO DO THE JOB OF A 4 STAR GENERAL! OUR ECONOMY IS CIRCLING THE DRAIN, FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES AND NOW THEIR VEHICLES. CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATES ARE INCREASING, DOUBLING IN SOME CASES, AS FAMILIES TRY TO KEEP UP MAXING OUT THEIR CREDIT LIMIT. WE NEED EXPERIENCE! THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT ON THE JOB TRAINING! HILLARY HAS THE PLANS TO TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND! VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!

Michelle and Barack Obama have divided the Democratic Party by playing the race card. They knew that criticism towards them would amount to cries of racism. Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean are involved knowing that the PC police would help. The base of the Democratic Party which includes hispanics, women, working class, people over 50, etc., have seen this game played before.

Here is a take on the bamboozling that the Obama campaign has done in this campaign season. The Greatest Hits of Obama's campaign, as you can see not a single original thought comes from him.

Here is Pastor Manning criticizing the AA's on them leaving the Clintons.

Here is California Rep. Maxine Waters, member of the Congressional Black Caucus, discussing the themes of Obama's campaign. She is not conviced by his rhetoric.

Rep. Waters outlines Obama's lack of concrete ideas for solving the country's problems.

Here is State Sen. Kirk Watson when asked by Chris Matthews to name a legislative accomplishment. Watson stutters and is at a loss of words. Matthews says that is a problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU08cYX-7y4

And finally this shows how Obama is manipulated by Axelrod. It shows Obama parroting Patrick who is the Massachusetts governor.

Axelrod is recycling his themes with Obama. He has used this template with Patrick.
