Sunday Morning Mashup of FACE THE NATION:
HOWARD WOLFSON
May 25, 2008
Howard Wolfson Responds to the Obama Campaign's initial overhyping of Clinton's RFK comments...
"I think that what the Obama campaign did on Friday was unfortunate. I think it was unfortunate to attack Senator Clinton's remarks without knowing fully what she had said. That's not what Senator Obama's campaign is doing today. We have a different set of remarks from David Axelrod this morning, on Sunday, than we saw from the Obama campaign on Friday. I think that's where are today, that's a good place to be. I think both campaigns are going to move forward with the twin goals of victory and unity in mind, but there's no question that it was unfortunate, and unnecessary, and in my opinion, inflammatory for the Obama Campaign to attack Senator Clinton on Friday for these remarks without, obviously, knowing the full facts or context."

Sunday Morning Mashup of ABC THIS WEEK:
DAVID AXELROD
May 25, 2008
David Axelrod Responds to McCain's criticism
of Obama's experience...
"And, you know, all the kind of schoolyard taunts and little barbs that you see in campaigns are really meaningless when you consider the struggles that people are going through today. They want real answers, they want new leadership, they want energy, they want direction, a new direction, and Senator Obama offers that."

The Expedition 24 crew on the International Space Station photographed this image of polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by an orbital sunrise. Polar mesospheric, or noctilucent ("night shining"), clouds usually are seen at twilight, following the setting of the sun below the horizon and darkening of Earth's surface. Occasionally the station's orbital track becomes nearly parallel to Earth's day/night terminator for a time, allowing the clouds to be visible to the crew at times other than the usual twilight because of the station's altitude. This photograph shows polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by the rising, rather than setting, sun at center right. Low clouds on the horizon appear yellow and orange, while higher clouds and aerosols are illuminated a brilliant white. Polar mesospheric clouds appear as light blue ribbons extending across the top of the image. The station was located over the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea (near the southwestern coastline of Turkey) when the image was taken at approximately midnight local time. The orbital complex was tracking northeastward, nearly parallel to the terminator, making it possible to observe an apparent "sunrise" located almost due north. A similar unusual alignment of the ISS orbit track, terminator position and seasonal position of Earth's orbit around the sun allowed for this striking imagery of over the Southern Hemisphere.
