Dead-on. For almost every issue, you can find John making statements or voting on both sides.

The ''cons whined about BO not going. Now they whine that he''s there. They whine that we don''t know enough about BO. He gets coverage so we know more, and they whine. Fact is, the ''cons are just whining hypocrites.

this is nothing new. all during the campaign it was the same, except for the bad news the media dug out of Clinton''s campaign.

even though he has changed his stance on several of his promises, the media chose to ignore those state-ments. the media and people chose him because of the color of his skin, but that is not racial?.

his autobiography and books should be read by every-one. how many, besides me, are probably not going to vote because of the candidates?

I''m constantly seeing negative or unflattering press about Obama. Meanwhile, McCain is making a million mistakes that go uncovered by major media outlets... the only place I find out about them is on The Daily Show, Countdown with Keith Olberman, liberal talk radio and websites, and sometimes, but not often, on NPR. There are audio and video documentation of these mistakes, but Big Media loves John McCain and are afraid to say anything negative about him. Quite a sad state the major networks are in.

Looks like he is getting a free ride via the press. While McCain has to pay for all his coverage, Obama gets free coverage. This is just a photo op, you can''t learn foreign policy by just flying to a place for a day or 2 and voting "Present".

I think he is getting too much coverage, but it''s not positive. McCain is getting a free ride on dozens of missteps and gaffes. If Obama had done anything that McCain has lately, he would have been raked over the coals by the right wing hack media. For example, if his economic adviser had made a comment at all similar to Gramm, they would have said that is was proof that he was an "elitist". If Obama had called the Czech Republic "Czechoslovakia" like McCain erred recently, they would have said it was proof that he was ignorant in global politics... these are just 2 of literally dozens of recent examples on how the media has let Camp McSame as Bush slide lately.

There''s nothing dishonorable in a person rethinking his or her positions, especially in a constantly changing political context. Barack Obama contradicts and threatens everything I believe about the institution of the family and what is best for the nation. Obama''s radical positions on life, marriage and national security leaves only one choice: John McCain.

To bad the press didn''t point out that many of the stories on obama were negative stories

Any time the media starts an article by asking a question such as this one, "Is Obamba getting too much media coverage?" The answer of course is YES.
