"He didn't have reporters with him, he didn't have a press pool, he didn't do a press conference while he was on the ground in either Afghanistan or Iraq."

Andrea, I have read that the military has a journalism school. Most of them are from Western Virginia, the very ones you call rednecks. I know the self importance of you, or your “reality” of how important you are. But, the news outlet you work for is not very “intelligent” . I believe , I’ll be sticking with the military reporters. All you really want is a chance to kiss obamas ssa! Report , and you might become worth listening to. Here is what we really want you to report on, is oprahs fat ssa still dancing?

PRO-MAC   July 22nd, 2008 - 12:03 pm

anyone else notice how that gasbag cris mathews so “smoothly” just skipped over what that reporter was saying and just missed the whole point!!! That Obama was manufacturing the news.

Does anyone at NBC realize that the Military has journalism MOSs? It’s one of the many jobs you can sign up for when you enlist.

Oh wait, who am I kidding. NBC would never know anything about the military.

grik   July 22nd, 2008 - 12:10 pm

Matthews didnt skip over it at all. This is hardly some bombshell. And Andrea Mitchell did not “blast” anything. She just commented on the reporters access to him in Iraq.

If she wants a real interview she should interview this guy:

Completely appropriate for Obama to not give a press conference in Iraq or Afghanistan. If he had- Andrea would have complained about that as being “political”.

Obama’s entire Messiah image is a public relations fabrication. No reporter should be surprised to feel shut out. Obama manipulates and uses others to further his image.

This is ridiculous!

The mainstream media is so smug, they probably think their poop smells good. This is totally a non-story. Just because the elite media can’t perfom the interviews, they conclude the interviews are fake? Ridiculous!

Indep2   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:26 pm

1, Mitchell’s clueless. Obama’s playing it straight as a fact-finding mission, responding directly to McCain’s witless challenge. If Obama had in fact allowed a press entourage to shadow him, or even just given the sniffy Ms. Mitchell her precious interview, she would instead be jabbing at him for openly campaigning on foreign soil. More of the damned if you do, damned if you don’t spin of the so-called liberal press.

2, that was a 3-point shot, not a free throw.

San Diego Military   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:30 pm

Since when do interviews have to be conducted by “professional reporters” to be valid? What is the definition of “professional report”? I would assume it would be an individual who swoons at the mere presence of Obama or gets a thrill up their leg when they hear him speak.

As for the military’s reporters, one thing they are taught is to be objective, non-partisan and to report the facts. Perhaps their objectivity doesn’t make them “professional” in Andrea’s opinion.

Crews2me   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:33 pm

I thought this was politics a contact sport. I say that because I’m hearing a lot of whiners and seeing a lot of political mistakes. The guy who is supposed to be naïve seems to be the smart, brilliant and political astute one. I could hear the frustration in Andrea Mitchell’s voice but she to needs to remember some things are out of our control. McCain’s new campaign ad comes off as childish, reactive and desperate. With all that wisdom the McCain team can’t come up with news worthy material other than bashing Obama and the media?

Whatever   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:35 pm

I happen to know a former miltiary journalist, one of those whom Amdrea accuses of not being real journalists. After he left the service he landed a job as the lead anchor for a local news station in a major media market. So despite her offended self-importance, Andrea should be aware that, wouldn’t you know it, military journalists can be real journalists.

Points for reference on being black or White:

U.S.A. blacks have an average I..Q of 85

U.S.A. Whites have an average I..Q. of 100

BIG DIFFERENCE in Intelligence !!!!!!!

85 at least used to be clinically designated as a “moron”

just below that is a “embicle”

then an idiot

To be P.C. below are the terms that are now used. Figure it out yourselves what the black race is that we White European Americans are dealing with!

“Four categories of intellectual disability have traditionally been used – mild, moderate, severe and profound – based upon I..Q assessments, where an I..Q of 100 is average.”

Isn’t this the same Andrea Mitchell the same one who allowed Hillary Clinton to continually lie about her trip to Bosnia when she was also on the trip and new that it was a lie what Clinton was saying?

MSF   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:39 pm

Has anyone ever explained why black soldiers comprise maybe 10-15% of the armed forces and yet represented 75-80% of the troops shown with Obama in the pictures? I suppose I could just let it drop but it bothers me to think that Obama will come back from his trip and say “the troops support me.”

Darryl   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:41 pm

Indep2,

Obama’s out of his league. He’s doing a whirlwind tour in the reigon to try to convince he knows about matters he knows nothing about. That’s why he has 300 advisors. He’s having to take a crash course in foreign policy.

He’s he’s got lots of experience as a community activist, but that doesn’t map well with negotiating with foreign leaders.

Renee   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:43 pm

The first part of Obama’s trip was supposed to be kept underwraps. No press accompanied him and no interviews were scheduled. Andrea Mitchell went to Baghdad on her own on Friday ahead of the press delegation. She must be upset she didn’t score an interview over the weekend. Lara Logan of CBS managed to talk to him before he left. Obama’s now doing interviews the rest of the week based on published parts of his schedule. And didn’t Ms. Mitchell bump Lee Cowan, NBC’s assigned Obama reporter from taking the trip?

Sounds like sour grapes on Andrea Mitchell’s part to me.

Darryl   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:45 pm

Laura Logan scored the first interview with Obama? Given recent reporting of her proclivities, one wonders if that was the only thing she scored with him.

Eye opener for Rip-political – You have had equal education opportunities since the late 60’s and what do you do? Drop out to sell dope, rob, rape and murder. There is an old saying that a “Lady can still be a Lady in a ‘Ho house”. Since you were intergratded you have not brought anything academically positive, just the opposite, you have lowered standards. Anyone who has to go into the stands to find a white person to read them the name off their jerseys so they know they scored the basket has a problem. The deterioriation of innercity schools are not caused by lack of funding but by the people who go to those schools and fail to obey simple rules. Try again because you are a racist who will vote for the Baraks O’bomber simply because he is back. You certainly can’t read well enough to understand the issues.

carl   July 22nd, 2008 - 2:50 pm

Gosh, even Liberal reporters like Mitchell are starting to catch on that the Media have pre-ordained Obama’s ascension to the Oval Office.

Why is Obama avoiding the private press on this trip? Why didn’t he hold a press conference in Iraq or Afghanistan?

Are his handlers afraid that he will say something stupid, like that he will be President for “8 to 10 years,” or that Jerusalem should be “undivided” or “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today” or that rural white voters are “bitterly clinging to God and guns?” etc. etc. etc.

The reason for this trip is not to listen to Petraeus or Maliki, but to provide film clips of Obama looking Presidential next to them—-as well as showing huge crowds of adoring fans at his rallies—-in Germany or the US does not matter.

MSF – I don’t worry about service personnel support. My brother and I live in different states and have sons and daughters in the Services (2 in Army, 1 Marine and 3 Sailors) and they all tell me that the service vote is McCain since he knows the problems service people face on a daily basis. Karen, (one of the sailors is a LT. in the Navy with 7 years in) says all of her group is for McCain. My bro and I work the net all day going to various states getting in touch with exship mates, and we are being pleasantly surprised by the response we have had from ILLIOIS, OHIO, CALIFORNIA and FLORIDA.

Barrack Hussein Obama is only a stinking first term Senator… and a very poor one at that. He is NOT a president, and he will never BE a president… unless he moves to Kenya, where he’d probably do damn well in that third world country.

The fact is the pinko news media is treating him with presidential dignity, while they treat our real president with disgraceful indignation and contempt.

The democrats have not once provided us with a respectable president, or presidential candidate EVER… Surely this is true within my lifetime, and I am 61 years of age.

The democrat party is a disgrace to the nation. They promoted slavery, fought it’s abolition, used their political influence to establish Jim Crow Laws, and fight segregation during the entire 100 year period following the American Civil War. Ku Klux Klansmen were ALL Democrats (judges, sheriff’s, deputy’s, councilmen, commissioners, Congressmen (both House Representatives and Senators), and various bigoted Democrat party political bosses. Democrats controlled the plantation then, and they continue to keep most Negroes under their control now.

There were no Republicans involved in their murderous plots, as they were hated, and not trusted by Democrats… (Sound familiar?).

Still naively think Barrack Hussein Obama is in physical control of that party?… Time to start seeking the truth about Democrats, fools.

Ciao,
Enzo

Surely someone of your “superior” IQ would comprehend the article accompanying that graph. If you actually read the article, you would learn that the researchers attributed the differences to social/economical causes. ie: wealthy parents tend to have higher IQ children than less affluent parents. It has more to go with economics rather than genetics!

Sen. Obama is the most soul less person ever to run for Presidency in my lifetime. There is nothing to him except performance and so everything has to be carefully staged, nuanced, and managed, to avoid someone asking him a real question and exposing him for the total vapor that he is.

Danzo   July 22nd, 2008 - 3:21 pm

Anyone want to connect the dots? The story was that Obama played hoops with the troops on Friday. Well guess what there was no press coverage of him on Friday. No one was even asking “Where’s Obama?” Why? Because they were told they would GET their dumb interviews if they kept the trip secret for an extra day. And think about it, a member of the media crying about not getting interviews? Who the F cares? The guy is in Kuwait under intense security meeting with our Armed Forces and you’re going to put a negative spin on it because you weren’t invited? Eff off Andrea Mitchell

Darryl,
Who said anything about negotiating, pinhead. What prior experience in international negotiating did Reagan have? No first-time President since WWII had much international experience at all, and none were experts in negotiating, unless you consider Supreme Allied Commander a negotiator. Presidents are Deciders, as GWB so unartfully pointed out. You want them to primarily have good judgment, wisdom even, guided by a coherent philosophy and a prediliction for facts over pansy-faced idealism. McCain was right in suggesting Obama should get a direct view of the main theatres of conflict. Politically stupid to waste his ammo so early in the fight, but logically correct. So, Obama took him up on it. Hat’s off. More critically, however, Obama’s general f.policy stances are those traditionally held by the mainline conservatives(a la Baker/Weinberger/Shultz/GHWBush), reflecting a practical realism and a reluctance to become entangled in foreign affairs except where there is an immediate threat. I approve. In contrast, McCain’s position apes that of the neocon/bush camp, a simpleton view that everyone wants to be like us, an activist mentality that we should convert everyone who isn’t like us, and that you’re never wrong unless you admit it. Frankly, i used to be an admirer, but few of McCain’s decisions have shown wisdom lately; possibly the surge (luck, too, that Sadr stood down), but not much else.

Steve   July 22nd, 2008 - 3:33 pm

Andrea Mitchell’s clear annoyance represents the cracks in the Obama fairytale. She is a journalist, after all, a pretty good one at that, and she knows when a story is being force-fed to the public by its subject. I hope more journalists display her courage.

Elizabeth   July 22nd, 2008 - 3:34 pm

Remember Folks, at the beginning of the school year (general electon) Obama will be required to write an essay :” How I spent my summer vacation”. It will tell of “what a big fish I caught!”, “How I was the favorite kid a camp!”, “How I won my badges in National Security, Diplomatic Exchanges, and Military Tactics!”. And “How I passed the POTUS test in just two weeks.. My camp councelors were really great guys, and gave me A++ on all of my camp-outs.” I am expecting to be promoted to Big Dog at the next meeting of the little people.

I watched the clip of Andrea Mitchell trying to get across to Chris Matthews that Obama’s interview was “fake”. Chris Matthews indeed ignore her comments, and skipped over them trying to change the subject. It is difficult to read some of the emails, which claim that Matthews did not ignore her comments and chiding Ms. Mitchell for explaining what was going on during Obama’s visit. Andrea Mitchell is a first rate reporter, and although I believe she will probably vote for Obama, she at least calls it like it is.

I suppose if too many media are around, somebody might find out that Hamas is calling Americans asking for their support of Obama. Not to worry, Barry O. The liberal media’s in the tank for you and would not report it if they found out. In fact, they’re MORE likely to defend it.

beaupritchard   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:34 pm

Odd … I’d swear I saw Obama on nightline … ABC … even someone from NBC beimg questioned …

Not sure I understand what she’s talking about unless what she means is she Andrea Mitchell cosort to “the” Alan Greenspan … hasn’t been granted an interview.

From what I’ve heard from her she feels his meeting in Israel is the one that is important … maybe she should wait until after the meeting rather than try to fill his head(and ours) with her concerns before hand.

No … on measure … Obama has been handling the press just right.

Gee, no surprise here. Fake news from a fake candidate. But of course, the obamessiah’s cheerleaders – ABC, CBS, NBC, the New York Slime, et all – will breathlessly air the canned footage.

Ben Franklin   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:38 pm

CBS, NBC, ABC’s anchors follow Obama’s every step and accompany him overseas and report on him like he is the Pope. McCain barely gets a mention in his many more trips. The New York Times hangs on Obama’s every word and prints his writings. McCain isn’t afforded the same treatment – his words are rejected by the paper until he constructs HIS thoughts in the manner that the newspaper has set forth! Chris Matthews goes on the Tonight Show and instructs ALL voters that they should be like the youth of America for this election, and vote for change! Meanwhile, you can choose any random time to turn on Keith Olbermann’s “news” show and you will be guaranteed to see Olbermann and his like-minded guest rail against one party with no representation from the other ever. This is absolutely no different than what just occurred in the recent election in Russia or what happens all over the third world. The vaunted American “free” media, with VERY few exceptions, is now giving you only one side of the story, and essentially telling you who to vote for. Most newspapers and most TV no longer report news, they indoctrinate you. And as for the way most moronic Americans get their news: Letterman, Leno and Jon Stewart – well you only have to listen to them to know where they are. This Democracy is not only ill served, but this is treachery of the highest order and the media coverage now violates the law. If the proaganda ultimately guarantees Obama’s election and the country is destoryed by his actions or policies, it will be too late for blame alone. Americans need to wake up to this now and they ARE smart enough to do so. McCain will probably win simply because of this media treachery! It may be for the best, for a free country within!

I can’t watch Andrea Mitchell. Her face is like the surface of the moon. She must have the Bryan Adams gene for acne!

PoliticalWorld   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:40 pm

Where was the covergae Ms.Mitchell when the White House had a phony reporter, Jeff Gannon, in the White House Press conferences. How did a gay prositute get a press pass to the White House? Through Karl Rove’s Office? Did you ever do a story on that, he was in White House Press Conferences for years, asking plantedc questions. Do a story on how he recieved his creditials and who gave him the questions.
Or did you do a story about Bush carrying a plastic turkey to the troops at Thanksgiving.?

Kathleen   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:40 pm

The media fawns over Obama like he is the Messiah. They don’t ask him the tough questions or harass him like they do McCain or any other conservative or Republican. Approximately 85% of the mainstream media is a registered Democrat. So please, don’t talk of fairness when it comes to any of the major networks. The 3 Stooges from NBC, CBS and ABC are following Obama to the Middle East like lap dogs, praising his every move like he is the end-all, be-all of politicians.

Obama is an inexperienced, foolish, ignorant man who has NO business running for President. He has been compared to JFK because he’s young, charismatic and has 2 small kids. Big Deal! JFK was also inexperienced, foolish and ignorant and is only thought of as a great president because he was assassinated. Everyone knows his father paid for his son’s election, and half the dead people of Chicago voted for Kennedy thanks to his father’s money.

Obama cannot be elected. He will ruin this country because he has NO CLUE what he’s doing!

Darryl   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:44 pm

Rob S,

Oh yea, Ahmed Yousef, Hamas leader DID say he wanted Obama to win. Then Obama used a Jewish audience as a prop so he could say something to offend Hamas so Yousef would have to un-endorse Obama.

Andrea Mitchell is pissed because she is on the outside looking in nothing more or less. By the way, for Obama to be so inexpierienced at age 46, naieve, dangerous and unfit to be POTUS, Sen McCain, Pres.Bush, Pres. Afghanistan, PM Iraq and the US State Department have in one way or another validated the wisdom of Sen Obama’s take on Foreign Policy.

Get it Right!

Actually there’s a certain … if I may coin a word … “bangability” to Andrea … Alan must be a happy man.

Having said that … her take on Obama at least in this instance is dead wrong. With all the other pressures on the man I would think she would pick a different time and place to voice her concerns(read try to corner) to him.

Jack   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:51 pm

Jill’s comment above is correct. And that basketball shot is a direct “cheap shot” response to Bush’s basketball performace in Belfast, Northern Ireland a couple of weeks ago. If it wasn’t for his heroic war service or the fact that he is a stand-up guy compared to Obama, maybe McCain would have gone out to the bowling alley and shown Obama’s bowling skills up to an equal level of bad taste! The bloom is coming off the Obama rose now. The great and growing silent Independent majority in the USA is beginning to see this Obama-media bedbuddy conspiracy for what it is!

Quote of the day   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:53 pm

ABC News’ Jake Tapper commenting on the McCain campaign’s “Obama Love” video:

“[I]f there’s any senator who has benefited from a generally friendly media it’s McCain. His opponents in 2000 and 2008, his senate colleagues, and Democrats have been complaining for years that the media gives McCain a free ride.

This is like Britney Spears complaining that the hype around Miley Cyrus far exceeds her talent.”

McCain is off his meds again   July 22nd, 2008 - 4:55 pm

I love how all the devoted drudge/breitbart readers are closely sticking to the latest McCain camp talking points. Failing to find a chink in the armor of REALITY with the Barack-as-Muslim-Nonsense, now the propagandist are saying: “Wow, Obama is ridiculously popular. Lets try to make him out as a modern day messiah-complex freak!” Or, even better: “Obama is the new Adolf Hitler!”

just keep grasping at straws. maybe you might make some hay!

Quote of the Day,

Your assessment is dead wrong. McCain has enjoyed favorable media attention because he was known as “The Maveric”, read: the one Republican willing to criticize other Republicans. Now the mainstream media has abandoned him like a bad habit now that he dares run for president against one of their darlings.

We’re not happy with McCain, but an Obama presidency will be doing much worst. We will vote for McCain as a vote AGAINST Obama.

Gee, the fawning press corp is following Obamarama around like kittens to their mother’s teet, but his handlers won’t let him speak and answer questions on his own. Hmm, I wonder why? Is it because he’s nothing more than a slick-talking, 2-faced, mickey-mouse socialist who has a propensity to put his foot in his pseudo-elitist mouth? No wonder the Obama Victimcrats have been ducking any debates with McCain so far.

Kathleen’s years of wisdom finds JFK was inexperienced, foolish and ignorant. Well, Ronald Reagan disagrees. Here’s what Reagan said about JFK in 1985:

“He knew that the United States had adversaries, real adversaries, and they weren’t about to be put off by soft reason and good intentions. He tried always to be strong with them, and shrewd. He wanted our defense system to be unsurpassed; he cared that his country would be safe.

He was a patriot who summoned patriotism from the heart of a sated country. It is a matter of pride to me that so many men and women who were inspired by his bracing vision and moved by his call to “ask not …” serve now in the White House doing the business of government.”

As to Andrea Mitchel’s report, she criticizes the military for controlling what footage is shown of Obama’s trip and letting military journalists ask Obama questions. Does Breitbart agree with Andrea that the US military is conducting “fake interviews”? Do they feel the US military is slanted in favor of Obama with the selected questions they ask him?

McCain is getting the kind of treatment republicans reserve for people like Alan Keyes … I’ll never forget the guy drove 200 miles to be part of the republican debate and they locked him out … oh well.

Look … this just isn’t McCains time. The press isn’t folowing Obama around because they like him … they are following him around hoping he makes a mistake.

The problem is he hasn’t … and they’ve got to report that too.

In fact … he’s all but sealed the deal on what the majority of americans want … the majority of Iraqi want and what people all over the world think is the right thing to do … getting out of Iraq.

He’s proven he’s not only a risk taker but a man who can deliver against significant odds … case in point that three point shot.

Nobody in his right mind takes that shot knowing 100 million people … a billion people are going to never hear the end of it if he misses … and he nails it.

In one trip waiters who’ve been spitting in our coffee , taxi cab drivers who splash us on rainy days , mothers who use to cover their childrens eyes whenwe walked past … run to shake his hand.

Suddenly its good to be an american … suddenly no one wants to ram a plane through one of our skyscrapers … now isn’t that what you want.

Darryl   July 22nd, 2008 - 5:44 pm

Wow you guys,

reality check. Obama is unqualified. If you look at his resume, it’s easy to see he doesn’t have the job experience doing the things to prepare him to be president. He’s qualified to run a community activist organization, but not president. If he needs 300 advisors just to teach him about foreign policy, how many other advisors does he need to teach him about the other subject matters needed to be a successful chief executive? In one debate, he had to be taught economic concepts by the debate moderator, and he still gave a moronic answer.

Obama is an empty suit. I cannot help if I’m not going to fawn over him like the rest of the world.

To coin a phrase…”The emperor has no clothes”

Manny   July 22nd, 2008 - 5:46 pm

Maybe listen to the anti-American statements of the Arab world and compare that to Obama, humm, their statements and views are similar. I give up…keep running for Prez of the world Hussien. Don’t forget us little people on this side of the pond.

Patrick C.   July 22nd, 2008 - 6:15 pm

Could it be that finally the mainstream media (MSM) is waking up to the real Sen. Obama? They created Obama the political rockstar. Now he is freezing them out, and they don’t like it. Obama is way out of his depth in this campaign, and his unscripted comments and free-form interviews show it.

When he’s in front of a teleprompter, reading prepared and rehearsed speeches, he comes across as lucid and articulate — the Democrat’s “great communicator”. But on the campaign trail, when asked to speak extempore, he “uhs” and “duhs”, stutters and stammers. So is it any surprise, then, that he would seek to limit his exposure to Andrea Mitchell and her colleagues in situations which are not stictly controlled and scripted?

Obama’s inability to think lucidly and speak clearly in impromptu situations is a very good indicator that he is fundamentally incapable of perfoming as the leader needed by the American People in these most perilous times.

verdad   July 22nd, 2008 - 6:20 pm

I do not think this is a complaint by Andrea Mitchell….the headline is misleading. this was not a criticism of Obama…just pointing out that the news releases were DOD.

Also, Obama HAS NOT ever produced a real birth certificate. He must to prove he is eligible to run for the office. His web site put out one that has proven to be faked.

ALSO, his supporters Have Been Told to Not even respond to any mention of Mr. Larry Franklin’s remarks. You can see that in this blog.

Jac   July 22nd, 2008 - 6:36 pm

Perhaps if Andrea Mitchell and all of NBC would start asking the hard questions of Sen. Barack Obama, he might start along with his criminal supporters who are hacking into websites, using Microsoft, T Mobile and Georgia state computers to terrorize citizens start answering some hard questions.

Why is it that Donald Young, an intimate friend of Barack Obama from his church was murdered and the FBI is not involved in investigating this?
At the very least does not Barack Obama require protection as this murderer is still at large?

Why is it Lawrence Sinclair’s intimate details have not been investigated by NBC to either be exposed as fraud or set as fact that Barack Obama is a bi sexual?
If Lawrence Sinclair is a non issue then why is the Obama campaign running a site on Wikipedia to stage information on Lawrence Sinclair?

Why is it now that experts have exposed the Barack Obama birth certificate as a forgery that NBC is not trying to find out why is it that Ann Dunham showed up on Mercer Island with baby Barry visiting a friend when women of that era never traveled with children?
Could it be as the friend stated she was on her way to Hawaii which would mean that Barack Obama might have been born in Canada to match his British commonwealth Kenyan father’s British status?

Why has no one bothered to demand why is it Barack Obama is recorded as born at 2 hospitals in Hawaii and only as a “live birth” recording which means he was brought in already birthed and born somewhere else?

Barack Obama has gotten away with too much of this clever past. His sister is registered as being born both in August and September which leaves the conclusion Ann Dunham has her children out of the United States in the nations of her lovers and then comes in and illegally registers them in America as Hawaii allows late birth registration.

For the sake of the United States as a nation, the press had better start reporting on this as the last thing this nation needs with all the problems we have in finding out in 2009 that Barack Obama is not qualified to be President because he is Kenyan or Canadian and impeachment starts because he had a birth certificate forged covering this all up.

It is bad enough when Bush gets hounded for doing nothing and Bill Clinton’s sexual problems gets him into impeachment problems. The press knew all this before and covered things up. The press must investigate this.
If Sen. Obama is cleared, then fine, nominate him at the DNC and see about electing him, but Andrea Mitchell better do her job because if this is the way Sen. Obama is acting with only nominal power how will he act with absolute power.

I appeal to Obama supporters especially as if you push this through and there is a problem it will forever taint any black person’s chances at being President for a generation.

I know it seems as if reporters are biased in favor of Obama but let me explain. I’m a reporter. Because I am, I can tell you that we know the most about what’s going on because we see everything before you do. And let’s face it,we’re smarter and more educated than a majority of the voting public. Not being arrogant, just stating a fact. Reporters recognize that when Bush was elected the second time, it happened because we didn’t help Kerry enough, didn’t give the public the benefit of our knowledge and experience. So what you’re seeing isn’t bias, it’s just us helping the public, guiding the public in the correct direction. We may be reporters but we’re American first and we are just trying to help those of you who care about our country make the right decision.

Frank-Reporters know he can’t part the Red Sea but we also know he’s the best candidate for America. And clearly we know how to guide the public–check the poll numbers for yourself. We speak in a careful but happy voice and the public falls in line. It’s just the way it is.

This couldn’t be more laughably revealing. The only people currently apoplectic in the media are the mainstream dinosaurs whose 30-year monopoly has been cracked, and barely so. Or have you not noticed that, for example, during the last quarter of a century the only time you’ve heard a conservative point of view on ABC News is when George Will talks for 90 seconds or less every Sunday on This Week With Yet Another Amusingly Biased Clintonista Hack?

If you want to ignore the Obama love-fest currently playing nightly on every network but one, fine, but don’t embarrass yourself further by pretending it isn’t happening.

So what do you liberal hacks have to say about the state of our American news media now? At least it’s now clearly out in the open that the media is no longer relevant and is a shameful disgrace to the people of the United States. CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN CAN NO LONGER PRETEND TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED. There is still one network that actually has real conservatives on along with real liberals. Yes, it’s FOX NEWS. Has Danny Rather found anymore incriminating letters about the President lately? The kind written in 1972 on a MICRO-SOFT printer? You people are truley pathetic dullards. Speaking of dullards, where’s Algore?

Rye/Ice,
Perhaps you should learn to spell imbecile before you accuse an entire race of being what you apparently are (yes, I realize I split an infinite – that was a choice….one I am capable of making even though I am in the demographic that you consider inferior to yourself). Poor guy. Uninformed blowhards like you should probably upset me, but I feel sorry for you. By the way, why don’t YOU look into Larry Sinclair’s history….that is the most ridiculous accusation ever. The reason none of the media has pounced on it is because it is fabricated.
If you need some assistance with furthering your education, I would be more than happy to assist you in that endeavor. God knows, it would do us all some good to reduce ignorance.

Your concerned “embicile” friend,
Shannon

Roger: “Laughably revealing” of what? Of some denial that I don’t see the “Obama love-fest”? Where exactly are you finding such a denial in my message? Of course the love-fest is happening, and even if it’s over the top, I for one am enjoying it. My point was simply that it’s amusing listening to the folks on right-wing talk radio grow agitated over it.

30-year monopoly? The MSM is much older than that, though I’m sure you’ll find that your sense of GOP victimhood dates back about 30 years because that’s what you’ve been told. Let’s not forget that this supposedly left-biased mainstream media is the same media that sold the American public on the Iraq War. Funny how you only complain when they’re *not* serving as unquestioning conduits for whatever right-wing “message” is invented on a particular day.

This is America, and if you don’t like what people are broadcasting, then do something more than chat about it.

Keep pushing the race angle – remember, the country is 72% white. Good luck avoiding a backlash.

And he is not up to the task – it’s not his race, it’s his complete lack of experience, his stupidity (57 states, president for 8-10 years and so on), and his profound love of Marxism. He will lose in a landslide.

And rip-political, you wrote “let see if this negro is good/capable/intelligent/american enough to past the white man test.” Try that again in standard English, if you know any.

Obama asked 3 major news anchors to tag along for interviews and this isnt anything new. You cant have a bunch of cameras in a warzone (I dont care how “secure” they say it is) with the life of the first viable AA candidate (yeah I know you dont care save it) at stake.

Also allow me to laugh my A$$ off at the very thought of a bunch of jealous, angry, ignorant Southerner’s and Nothern Southerners (Ohio & Penn) who watch FAKE News but DARE to question Obama who never said he was being video taped and asked questions from reporters until later in the tour.

If yu really are upset with FAKE News you’d be angry at FOX NEWS which has admitted time and time again it IS NOT a real news channel but rather and ENTERTAINMENT channel.

What a bunch of morons.

Andrea Mitchell, I sure don’t know much about her. Thus, no comments about her
But the hostility and anger that is being exchanged on this site is very interesting. Thank God people can’t shoot one another via the Internet.
Debate and healthy conversations are what makes America the greatest nation in the World.
Reading personal attacks and vindictive comments about each other is similar to watching 2nd and 3rd graders argue on the playground. A vast majority of you all need to grow up.

I must be missing something, I see alot about whining. The only whining I see though is from obvious supporters of Obama whining how anyone can question “their” candidate, even going so far as to call them racist. Barack Obama is HALF-WHITE. Get over it and move into this century.

allen   July 22nd, 2008 - 9:51 pm

Perhaps if Andrea Mitchell and all of NBC would start asking the hard questions of Sen. Barack Obama, he might start along with his criminal supporters who are hacking into websites, using Microsoft, T Mobile and Georgia state computers to terrorize citizens start answering some hard questions.

Why is it that Donald Young, an intimate friend of Barack Obama from his church was murdered and the FBI is not involved in investigating this?
At the very least does not Barack Obama require protection as this murderer is still at large?

Why is it Lawrence Sinclair’s intimate details have not been investigated by NBC to either be exposed as fraud or set as fact that Barack Obama is a bi sexual?
If Lawrence Sinclair is a non issue then why is the Obama campaign running a site on Wikipedia to stage information on Lawrence Sinclair?

Why is it now that experts have exposed the Barack Obama birth certificate as a forgery that NBC is not trying to find out why is it that Ann Dunham showed up on Mercer Island with baby Barry visiting a friend when women of that era never traveled with children?
Could it be as the friend stated she was on her way to Hawaii which would mean that Barack Obama might have been born in Canada to match his British commonwealth Kenyan father’s British status?

Why has no one bothered to demand why is it Barack Obama is recorded as born at 2 hospitals in Hawaii and only as a “live birth” recording which means he was brought in already birthed and born somewhere else?

Barack Obama has gotten away with too much of this clever past. His sister is registered as being born both in August and September which leaves the conclusion Ann Dunham has her children out of the United States in the nations of her lovers and then comes in and illegally registers them in America as Hawaii allows late birth registration.

For the sake of the United States as a nation, the press had better start reporting on this as the last thing this nation needs with all the problems we have in finding out in 2009 that Barack Obama is not qualified to be President because he is Kenyan or Canadian and impeachment starts because he had a birth certificate forged covering this all up.

It is bad enough when Bush gets hounded for doing nothing and Bill Clinton’s sexual problems gets him into impeachment problems. The press knew all this before and covered things up. The press must investigate this.
If Sen. Obama is cleared, then fine, nominate him at the DNC and see about electing him, but Andrea Mitchell better do her job because if this is the way Sen. Obama is acting with only nominal power how will he act with absolute power.

I appeal to Obama supporters especially as if you push this through and there is a problem it will forever taint any black person’s chances at being President for a generation.

Obama said:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

What if John McCain said this at a closed door meeting among conservatives?:

“You go into these large neighborhoods in Philadelphia and, like a lot of large cities in the U.S., the family structure has been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced it…And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna become functional and they have not.

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or gangs or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-snitching sentiment or anti-capitalism as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Barack Obama is like the prissy sissy little boy in the neighborhood.

He taunts the other kids from his second story window.

The other kids are gruff, holes in the knees of their jeans and scuffed elbows.

Obama stays up in his room. Pressed slacks and crossed legs. His
grandmother serves him chocolates. He reads books and imagines himself better than most.

Some day he intends on sharing his gift of I’m-smarter-than-you with
those who need him.

The other kids, the normal ones, are aggravated by his taunting, but
he won’t come out.

He tells his grandmother that he did not in fact tease the neighbors
from his window, but that those kids are ignorant and misguided, and don’t command the intellectual capacity to understand what he really meant with his comments.

His grandmother smiles responding with confirmation that she already knew that he didn’t do anything wrong and that she always knew that her golden boy was smarter than everyone elsess worthless children.

As Obama’s grandmother would exit his room he would often note in his memoirs that she was sadly a misguided micreant typical white woman who clung to raising someone else’s kid because she didn’t have enough money.

paul   July 22nd, 2008 - 10:18 pm

Liberal politicians and ‘journalists’ protect Barack Obama with a personal vigor because it is in fact very personal to them.

They view black people as their children. And if anyone picks on your kids – come on, nothing is more personal.

Liberals are the parents. They garner themselves with a parental role towards the black community.

They offer them welfare and all manner of social programs to ‘take care of them’. Liberals have an emotional investment in the black community. They want to make sure they are ‘ok’. Sort of coming out and checking on them as they sleep, pulling the blanket up just a little higher.

Having tried to influence the greater society to cater to their specific needs their entire professional life – failure at this point would be a ‘personal’ failure. Much passion and time they have poured into raising the black community from infancy.

Like sending your kid off to school. Make sure he has his lunch packed, “call me if you need anything”. And anxiously help them onto the bus hoping they will be ok.

Then finally they get to watch Barak Obama at the ‘graduation day’ of the black population. On stage representing the black population accepting his diploma figuratively by running for president in his tassel’d hat.

The parents are so proud of their child’s accomplishment, wiping a tear form their eye, they marvel and think to themselves that it has all been worth it. All the trials and hardships and their child has finally made it through his difficult teenage years.

Now the parents, Liberals, can sort of sit back and rest knowing that they have done good. But there will always be that little bit of worry that comes along with being a parent.

paul   July 22nd, 2008 - 10:24 pm

Barack Obama.

- He is against photo ID’s for voting.
- He is in favor of early release of sex offenders.
- He is in favor of pornography being permitted on school library computers.
- He thinks school sex education should begin in kinder garden then continue on to the 5th grade.
- He was against a bill that would ban porn shops within 1000 feet of schools or churches.
- He is in favor of tax funded abortion.
- He is against medical care for an infant on the operating table who survived the abortion.
- He is against parents of minors being notified when their daughter is going to have an abortion.
- His wife is in favor of partial birth abortion and thinks it should be protected.
- He favors homosexual marriage.
- He favors drivers licenses for illegal aliens, welfare for illegal aliens, food stamps for illegal aliens, social security for illegal aliens.
- He belongs to a black-separatist church.
- And he wants to immediately evacuate a key battlefield in the war on terror thereby handing it over and empowering our sworn enemies.

The ethical state of the mainstream media has never been lower, even from the age of “yellow journalism”. Almost completely gone is any serious investigative journalism, and often, what little of that type of reporting is done is often blatantly false. Its become almost impossible to separate reporting from straightforward propaganda, and I’m sure that’s just how they like it. I don’t know how anyone could argue against the naked bias being put on daily display, in the coverage Obama is receiving. All you have to do is count the number of stories being accorded each candidate, then from there, examine how they are reported on (which candidate has his own major media entourage?). Gone almost completely are any tough questions that would expose Obama, informing the public. Just consider how little we really know about his background. I’ve heard criticisms of McCain’s class ranking, but what about Obama’s college grades and his board scores for omission to Harvard– was he ever even published in the law review he edited? I’ve heard they are surprisingly mediocre. Why are Obama’s records from Illnois almost completely missing, a very strange circumstance, given his stature and many local connections? And what about his voting record in the Senate? How come so little is said on his radical taxation proposals, which if they were to go through in a hurting economy, could do major damage, particularly on capital gains, which would hurt banks tremendously, not to mention the 100 million stockholders (its not just about the wealthy anymore)?

I’m not impressed by Obama. One can have a gift for oratory and not be intellectually gifted. The same is not as true for writing, as there you often have to bring your own ideas, and be ready to defend them. I’ve not see the promising Obama on paper, either. There are many far more capable black candidates, ones more worthy of attention and respect, who can present records and are not afraid to talk about their own histories and backgrounds. With Obama, I get the constant impression that he’s about the business of image, and projecting outward so as to avoid having to go inward, what we would call “frontin” where I’m from. In that way, he almost defines the times, certainly our media, which seems to have merged with Hollywood in so many ways.

The left wants to constantly belittle anyone that challenges them, particularly their intelligence. Well, take a look around. Do you see honest, equitable debate in the mainstream media? Compare that to the internet, where debate has flourished, at least on those sites that still believe in free speech (I’m convinced the left no longer does). And this isn’t about a race, not as much as you would like to ride that horse. Believe it or not, there are larger issues, and for that, I would have to put the implosion of ethics in the public sphere, especially in government and in media, as a far more telling, and critical issue.

This is like the Beatles and every other tacky fad that aging hipsters lapped up.

The Beatles transcended a band for some and became a movement. How devoid of purpose must you be to have a Senator represent a movement in your life?

Just as Bill Clinton represented passing the torch from the Nixon generation to the Crosby, Stills & Nash generation, so too does Barack Obama represent passing the torch form the Ted Kennedy generation to the Conan Obrien generation.

Obama is going to fizzle. Wait till he gets in these non speech platforms and actually has to think under fire. Uh oh. The news anchor will freeze up like a deer in headlights without his que cards. His brain cells will protest at the situation and form a sit-down-strike, Obama will summons them to work yet they will ignore his call.

He’s gonna make a lot of money giving speeches in the future though, that he can do. Colleges, businesses, banquettes, they can roll him out like Barman Bailey who said there is an a$$ for every seat, or, a politician for every day dreamer.

While Bill Clinton put a smile on the Left’s anti Christian hippie jihad, this guy goes one better and offers you oxycotton. He is a relaxing soothing political date rape drug. And the dealer network is already in place – the mainstream media.

I was shocked that Mathews asked a potentially loaded question regarding the oh so obvious number of blacks in the photo ops with Barry O. The answer is not that they are more thrilled with Barry than with McCain, its that the Obama people stacked the deck to make it seem that a majority of military people are black. This will feed into the notion that a draft is needed to even the playing field so that the uneducated, unconnected blacks do not do all of the heavy lifting in the military. What a crock of Barry O. crap. That guy is slimyer than Slick Willie ever was. Barry is not an empty suit, he is a cardboard cutout. And guess what, he is going to be the next president. God help America because we will not be able to help ourselves with Barry, Nancy, Harry, et. al. in charge.

MikeinPhilly   July 23rd, 2008 - 12:20 am

David White — please tell us, if Obama isn’t good enough, which black would you vote for for president? David, a president is supposed to be able to debate. We’re not used to it because we haven’t seen it for 8 years. McCain doesn’t debate. His strategy is to repeat his mantras: “The Surge was successful and Obama won’t admit it,” and “Obama lacks experience.” What’s so great about McCain’s experience? It doesn’t seem to have benefitted anyone. McCain surrounds himself with lousy campaign advisers, and total idiots (a la Rudy Guiliani and Phil Gramm). Can’t you see that Obama’s debating skill stems from superior intelligence and good judgment? That’s what we need in a president. Ask yourself, which candidate offers the potential of pulling us from the abyss this country is in? There’s only one correct answer: Obama. He will bring respect back to this country, which has been embarrased internationally and defiled by the Supreme arrogant (yet stupid) idiot in the White House. McCain is actually campaigning by agreeing with most of what Bush has done, while singing his empty song of purportedly being his own man who bucks his party when it’s the right thing to do. McCain used to do that, but those days are over. He’ll be beholden to the same monied and powerful interests that Bush has represented for 8 years. Very telling: McCain’s primary campaign point over the last two days is how unfair it is that Obama is getting all this press. First McCain criticized Obama for not having gone to Iraq. Now he’s criticizing him for going. McCain’s foresight ends at the end of his nose. He’s way too old, and clearly declining in some respects. It is unfortunate, because McCain used to be good. But George Bush has f**** McCain over good. First by “swift boating” him in the South Carolina primary a few years back, then by trashing this country and its reputation, so that McCain get tarred with the Bush brush becuase he’s the Republican candidate.

David   July 23rd, 2008 - 12:27 am

I think Americans are tired of the pro mainstream press coverage of Obama. Its apparent that he is losing his “appeal” to both the press and the voters of this great nation. I continue to see Obama slip in the polls and McCain holding his own. Obama, we have you figured out and we DONT want you in the White House!

paul   July 23rd, 2008 - 12:54 am

“Hi, I am multi-racial, I have magic dust inside me to heal this sucky nation, vote for me” … what a FRAUD

This candidacy has been reduced down to an elixir to ‘white guilt’. What about the leader of the free world? He mislead his own children to a hate monger blame cult. Did he get bad intelligence?

“Lets open up the dialog about race”.

Have a conversation about race? Why, so I can risk loosing my job, loosing my home, having my reputation ruined and run out of town for saying the ‘wrong thing’? And what would I get in return for this risk? Nothing. Thanks but no thanks.

I think what people mean when they say ‘lets have a discussion about race’ is ‘lets give a speech to whites about how awful whites are’.

This ain’t gonna play on Main street Obama…

Obama’s claim that since he is part white and part black that only he knows the HEART of both black and white Americans.

So, if there is a person that is really really pale white, then they would know the heart of white Americans much better.

And if there is a black person who is very dark black, then he or she would know the heart of the black population much better. And that very dark black person could lead all blacks out of poverty.

Hmm, I guess Jesus could only lead Jews who would follow him, and no others.

Obama is not the ‘jack of all races’ as he claims, he is NOT part Asian or part Hispanic, or Indian, or Arabic. So Obama would not be representing these segments of the population and therefore would be discriminating against them.

He has no clue about who they are because he doesn’t have part of them in him.

We’ll, since the majority of this country is white wouldn’t it be best to have someone who is pale white and therefore be able to serve the majority the best? Better yet an albino who would be the best choice yet and would probably preceive the majority of the populations HEART better than a Gypsy palm reader.

This albino could lead all white people to a higher destination and all the other people who have mellon in their skin would benefit indirectly.

I think we should find a man and woman who both combined would have every race in them, then commission them to have a baby then raise that baby to become President someday so we can ALL be served!!

This is the sickest election year I have ever seen. It reminds me of Hitler and his Arian race, except this is a multi-racial Bi-racial racists race elated race fest of racial tones, emotions, and drunkenness on lunacy.

Arian Marxist. Idiotic. Demonic, and just plain childish and stupid. Grow up America, you are not advancing your self or your country with all this cry baby “I need attention cause someone’s feelings got hurt”.

This will not advance our standard of living, our production base, our defense system, our economy, the value of the dollar, civil discourse, on and on.

This is the spoiled brat hippies from the 60’s generation whining and moaning insecently about ghost manufactured issues, the past. Boring and an international embarrassment.

Lets all quit our jobs and sit in a big circle and talk about race.

Grow up America.

“If you vote for me I’ll tell you a secret”.

Barack Obama, a bridge backwards to the 1960’s shrouded in car salesman mumbo-jumbo. If you vote for Obama we can move beyond, move beyond the present and into the past. This man has been exposed for who some of us already knew he was, a fraud and a racist.

Sorry Mr. Sorros, your man isn’t gonna make it. A fender of the car Obama was trying to sell us just fell off and crashed to the ground in the middle of one of his distracting tire-kicking speeches. While smoke begins to billow from underneath the hood even as we were about to sign the bill of sale.

Now we get to be told for the next how many years that we are a racist nation because we didn’t crown Obama.

Many say that the sort of talk given by Obama’s pastor is normal for a black church. This is shocking to me.

This would consists of dens of doom that brainwashes the pew sitters that they can ever make it and you may as well get on with the business of hating.

Thank God I have never been exposed and tainted by one of these cults of hate and racism or I would not stand a chance, even in the greatest and most fair country that ever was.

Obama, you are the problem your children may grow up to be paranoid racists like your wife.

Jeremiah Wright, you are part of the problem that your parish never advances like they could, because you are addicted to hate and you are dealing hate and racism to them as to hate whites and hate their home. Regardless of your excuses, you are a small pathetic man and no leader.

If you hate your fellow countrymen and hate your country how could you ever expect to get ahead? Why would you burden your children with this sin?

‘The Audacity of Blame’.

Mr. Wright’s invective. Invective dripping with the black tar hate pumping from the devil’s veins. It is in fact Mr. Wright’s heart and speech that is damned. While the great America remains blessed spreading the salvation of Christ world wide to the oppressed.

Hey main stream media, has Mr. Wright hijacked a peaceful and noble religion?

Cudos to Andrea Mitchel for telling it like it is. Chris Matthews looked seems pissed that she brought up this subject of no reporters being present. Anyone who doesn’t think this trip is a staged media circus is smoking crack. The best clip is of Terry Moran from ABC News asking Obama if he was wrong a year ago when he said the surge was not going to work. Obama flubbed that answer. He is nothing more than an empty suit when his teleprompter is not loaded in front of him. Nice to see the mainstream media is beginning to figure this out. Maybe BHOs true anti-American, pro-terrorist, socialist views will start to come into crystal clear view.

Perhaps you should look up the word “unrebuttable” good luck, it isn’t in Merriam-Webster’s….perhaps you are a wikopedia type…if so, you shouldn’t be throwing stones in a glass house…lol!

Anyhow, please respond, it will be fun to make you look like an even bigger idiot.

I think you hit upon something there!

I vote None of the Above this year.

America is doomed.

I’ve liked NBC’s Andrea Mitchell since she asked tough “unallowed” questions of the president of Sudan and his security people jacked her arm behind her back and forced her out of the press conference. Anyone who’s ever heard Obama answer questions on policy without a teleprompter understands why his handlers erupt stomach ulcers at the thought.

Given that all reporting from Iraq is tightly controlled by ‘embedded journalists,’ i.e. DOD-approved, what do I care if CNBC gets in on it or not? What we get through the news filter is no longer journalism anyhow, and we don’t get the real story from any U.S. news outlet. Wake up.

By the way, I didn’t notice an overwhelming majority of African Americans in the video, that is just distorting the truth but I can see with my own eyes.

The funny thing is I really don’t think Andrea is mad at all. I think she’s just covering the campaign, and like it or not it is a news story that Obama’s over seas interview’s and footage are being controled so closly. Its been along time since that has happened in a presidential campaign. By the way I’m a democrate. I think the fact that people on the left and right are always accusing her of being on the other side( left wing blogs accuse her of being a shill for the right, and right wing blogs accuse her of being a libral.) show that she just reports on story’s, sometime’s positive for one side sometimes positive for the other. People who are angry because she’s doing a story that hurts their candiate always love to point out who she’s married too. So what! Before she met Greenspan she spent alot of time doing radio then TV in philadelphia, helped bring down a corupt poice chief there etc etc. shes paid her dues. And as some of you have pointed out she didn’t rise to her position by being another pretty face like so many other female journalists today. Shes not beutifull, but she still made it.

I don’t know why Andrea is so upset about “fake interviews”. Considering the state of the press in this election cycle, the MSM might as well be classified as “fake reporters”. I have seen media bias before, but this infatuation for a candidate by grown men and women is embarrassing and kind of creepy – I wonder if the day will come when these “journalists” will look back on this time the way one might look back on some mortifying first crush debacle in high school – one that just makes you cringe every time you think about it. Man (or woman) up people, and start doing the job we expect from “real” journalists.

William Bruce   July 23rd, 2008 - 7:28 am

Is she serious? “Haven’t seen a presidential candidate do this, in, well, my recollection?”

What about all the softball, lack of “journalism” coverage they gave G.W. in his two runs for president?

Give me a break: this is why people don’t watch or trust the media anymore: they make comments like this that expect our memory only goes back as far as a few seconds.

We’re the most powerful nation in the world yet we have “journalism” that is more propaganda and opinion that anything else. Non-fiction story telling, not reporting.

Get a clue Andrea Mitchell, go work for Fox News Channel where you are encouraged to make things up.

Alex   July 23rd, 2008 - 7:41 am

Of all the reporters, I think Andrea Mitchell is one of the best. She has class.

In my view, if Senator Obama acheives the Oval Office, it will just take the US down a little faster. He will become the most ineffective, divisive president in my lifetime, leading a country with little life experience, maturity or courage. Obama does not understand the potential dangers this country faces, economic collapse, energy shortages, hyper-inflation, etc.

President Bush has spent us into a pit and Obama will just dig it a bit deeper and faster.

Ken   July 23rd, 2008 - 8:04 am

Finally, a reporter who is not afraid of asking a tough question about Obama’s style of campaigning. This was just a photo op for him and a smart move but a lot of his stategy seems to be based on this type of meaningless opportunism. No tough questions and no debate and no straight answers will lose Obama a lot of votes.

Brent — If your IQ is 150, then you ought to be able to articulate a good reason why you voted for the dishonest, arrogant stooge. Let’s hear it. (P.S. It’s actually shocking that you would admit to that, and give your name.).

BuckFush   July 23rd, 2008 - 9:39 am

Brent — P.S. I meant “irrebuttable.” I would think you would have realized that, what, with an IQ of 150. Oh well.

Bobby Jindal   July 23rd, 2008 - 10:49 am

Sir Winston, that 3-point shot image will help Obama immeasurably. Another reminder that grandpa (through not fault of his own, but it’s a tough world) can’t lift his arm above his shoulder, let alone make a basket.

Yes, the MAINSTREAM news media along with the Germans, French, and English voters will do their best to elect Obama.. The Bush hating news media will never give any credit to anything positive, even if it does damage to America.. Only negatives make it to the MAINSTREAM news mediafor Americans to hear and read.. Maybe enough AMERICANS will be able to see through this attempt to destroy Bush no matter what the cost is to America.. Thank God for BLOGS or otherwise there would be no real news in America… Yes, to all you Dems and Liberals, there is a GOD…
