Obama is coming to the Houston Toyota Center this Tuesday. But, he has to finish the work in Wisconsin first. Obama plans on celebrating the Wisconsin primary victory from down town Houston. Hillary didn’t step foot into Wisconsin until Saturday and then she cut her three day plans there to just two. Obama seemed to pick up his pace with her visit to the state which he’s been in all week.

While Hillary was delivering a relatively mild speech with largely indirect attacks aimed at Obama, Barack Obama’s remarks minutes later could easily be labeled far more critical. Sen. Obama, following Sen. Clinton to the podium Saturday night at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Founders Day Gala, even strayed off his prepared comments to dish out attacks he’s recently included on the stump.

Who says this guy can’t extemporaneously let ‘er fly? The Obama tsunami is still on a roll.

Obama introduced a new line, as well, hitting Sen. Clinton for “just recently” supporting legislation aimed at keeping jobs in the United States that he said he’s advocated for years. Obama said the Patriot Employer Act “will reward companies that create good jobs right here in America.” He also accused Clinton, as he has in the past, of participating in the “politics of the moment” by taking certain positions simply because it’s campaign season.

“I didn’t just start criticizing unfair trade deals like NAFTA and China because I started running for President,” Obama said, referring to the North American Free Trade Agreement, a treaty signed into law by former President Bill Clinton. Obama often points out that Hillary Clinton praised NAFTA during her husband’s administration.

After the Wisconsin and Hawaii primaries get out of the way this Tuesday, the focus becomes up close and personal. Texas just could save the Democrats from a convention problem- if they give the vote to Obama. Hillary has been in Texas (particulary South Texs where the Latino vote is big), but Obama comes to Houston next week and you cna rest assured all we’ll hear about for two weeks, leading up to the March 4th Texas primary, is Obama this and Hillary that.

Don’t you just love this stuff!

…climb higher to Super Power status. And you can believe other big money deals will continue ……

Russia, China sign four billion dollars of trade deals MOSCOW (AFP) - China and Russia signed four billion dollars’ worth of trade deals on Tuesday during a visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao focused on securing new energy sources. For Russia, China has always been one of the most important economic partners in the world, and throughout recent years our business ties have steadily grown and strengthened,” Putin said, speaking at the opening of China’s biggest-ever trade fair in a foreign country.
The presidents oversaw the signing of 21 contracts, including an agreement by Russian state oil company Rosneft to supply jet fuel to China and long-term export contracts for Russian steel products..
Among the biggest contracts was a 460-million-dollar (345-million-euro) agreement by Russia’s Novolipetsk Steel to supply 94,000 tonnes of steel to Chinese electrical parts maker Tebian Electric Apparatus Stock from 2007-2011.

Nearly 200 Chinese companies showcased products at the fair, which Putin used to underline Russia’s interest in developing its own high-tech sector with Chinese help.

“We are particularly interested in exhibitions devoted to innovative and information products, aviation, aeronautics and energy, the nuclear industry,” Putin said.

China’s chief interest in Russia, meanwhile, is securing more oil and gas to meet its huge energy needs.

The Chinese president took a step in that direction on Monday by securing an agreement for increased deliveries of Russian oil by rail.

Those deliveries should jump from the 11 million tonnes shipped in 2006 to 15 million tonnes per year, Russian Railways head Vladimir Yakunin told reporters.
