:thumb: Nice poster of Snobama!

Thanks. I think they really captured the inner Obama, don't you?

More to ponder.

 

McCain has been getting the love from the media and ABC's debate was embarrassing.

While John McCain is popular with reporters, they have clearly chafed as they see him adopt more-conservative positions on taxes and immigration in the past year. His coverage is much less favorable than it used to be.

 

But Mr. Obama, who sports the most liberal voting record of any senator according to the nonpartisan National Journal, has avoided much criticism of that record by implying that any conventional critique of his issue positions represent the tired politics of the past. If he had his way, questions about character and questions about issues would be off-limits.

 

 

Then there is the matter of race. Every American should be pleased that this year a black candidate has eschewed the demagogic appeals of a Jesse Jackson or an Al Sharpton and knitted together a diverse group of enthusiastic supporters. But Mr. Obama shouldn't get gentler treatment than other candidates because of his race. So far he has, as too many commentators tiptoe around him as if they were walking on eggshells. Just look at the late-night comedy shows, where jokes about Hillary Clinton's fibbing and John McCain's age have been frequent and memorable. But until perhaps very recently can anyone recall any comparable jape about Barack Obama's foibles?

 

 

Mr. Obama has said he wants to be judged and treated as any other candidate would be. The hostile establishment-media reaction to ABC's debate shows that he has not been. The presidency is too important to allow that kind of blinkered mentality to govern the rest of this year's election coverage. Bravo to ABC for finally asking a lot of questions many Americans have been talking about.

I'm sick of the whining about who gets treated better by the media. Honestly, I haven't read one bad thing on the internet or seen a bad word said about McCain thus far during the election.

 

Obama and Hillary on the other hand...

:lol:

 

It's an issue, HB. If one candidate is getting treated with kid gloves by the media, it leaves a skewed vision of the others.

 

You must flat out be ignoring whats being said about McCain.

 

What happened to you, I thought you were thinking about voting for McCain? Get swept up in the Obama hype?

:lol:

I still have not decided who I am voting for. How did my last post insinuate otherwise?

 

And it should not be an issue. It is just people whining. No one gets treated any better than the others, people just want something to complain about.

You seem to be leaning towards Obama.

 

Then why the thumbs up to a post claiming McCain got treated with kid gloves?

McCain isn't getting beat up right now because he's running unopposed. That all changes once the conventions are over and general election campaigning starts. McCain will get the snot beat out of him by the media.

What media do you use for your information?

I agree and I'll be curious to see how he handles it when it happens.

Kid gloves? They spent an hour talking about Rev Wright, Flag pins, weather underground, Obama's patriotism, and various other nonsense before asking one policy question. When Fox spends 20 of their 24 unbalanced hours not talking about Wright or Ayers or some other thing to attack Obama I'll believe you. McCain has been getting the love from the media and ABC's debate was embarrassing.

 

The Dude can't answer policy questions, he has nothing to say, or can't figure out what it is he wants to say. Banality is the only thing we have to talk about with this guy.

The drive-by's, just two weeks ago, were trying to convince us that "we can tell something" about Obama's character by the way he plays basketball:

This is the type of milk-toast crap the media has been trying to sell on this idiot, and when he has it force-fed back to him, the Whiner Family members cry about it. C'mon, now.

Bravo to ABC for finally asking a lot of questions many Americans have been talking about.

 

Are they going to ask next if he's a Muslim and attended a Madrassa? Americans are asking those questions because of disinformation. If nothing else, the flag lapel pin question caused me to turn the debate... it caused my Hillary-supporting-liberal-woman-over-50 mother to turn the debate off.

Wasn't Charlie Gibson's question on capital gains tax a policy question? Didn't Gibson get beat up by others in the media for asking that question also? Is it Gibson's fault that Obama answered that question so poorly?

When asked policy questions he answers them. He may not have given a good capital gains answer but I've seen him answer policy questions very well. TV-one did a forum with Obama and Clinton in which they were asked policy questions by community leaders. Obama answered every question very well. ABC spent an hour before asking policy questions. "Does Rev. Wright love America?" isn't the kind of question that gets us anywhere in a debate or as a country. That was something I would expect Karl Rove to ask, not a moderator of a debate on a major network.

And what better way to battle disinformation than in a very public debate? It appears to me that he should welcome the chance to explain or clarify his views on stories that are being circulated unchecked and unverified on the internet. Whether you choose to acknowledge these things or not, ignoring them allows them to move from the realm of legend to fact in some people's minds.
