Obama became the man to beat because the media bought his sales pitch without regard to the facts.
CBS forgot journalist standards in their rush to praise and glorify Obama. Katie extolled his "victory" in Iowa. No one check the facts.
Obama got one more delegate than Hillary, but the impressions given by CBS and others is Obama won it all.
Obama actually got about 2.4% of the vote of eligible Iowans. 10% showed up. About 65% of those attended the Demo cacuses. Obama got less than 40% of those which means that over 60% said no to Obama. If you did not know the facts and just listened to Katie and the "reporters" you would think he got them all. In fact the impression given was that the race was over and OBama would be the nominee. You''re substituting "feelings" for facts.
The media has given Obama a free pass on his claims while subjecting Hillary to intense scrutiny. I can only assume the combined you is afraid of being called racists if you ask Obama the hard question.
Isn''t it time that CBS live up to the traditions of past news teams. God thing Walter is still alive or he would likely be spinning in his grave. Edward R is likely spinning!- Reply to this comment
- 41 and 42 are way too close for my comfort.
That weighs heavily on my lack of Hillary support. - Reply to this comment
- The question is: Is America ready for its first black President? If it is should it be a confessed crack and marijuana user? Should it be a guy with an Arabic name so similar to OSAMA BIN LADEN? WAKE UP AMERICANS. This is a nightmare. A nightmare that could last 4 years long.

- Don''t forget all you anti-American Hussein Obama/Osama supporters..........
Muslims started the Jihad.... don''t be pissed when a bunch of patriotic, red-blooded yankee doodle dandy native-born Americans kick their godless butts!
Muslims proudly call Christians "infidels". Well, I got news for you. If you don''t accept Jesus Christ as your savior and follow his teachings and believe in Him, your *** is doomed to Hell...... Ask any southern Baptist preacher if you don''t believe me! - Reply to this comment
- NameVerified,
I almost forgot, get used to the idea that our next Commando-In-Chief of the USA Arm Forces is a black man.

- Thanks to years of PC, conditioning Affirmative action is going to elect an unqualified person simply to fill a quota.

Perfect example of why we have George Bush in office, too many idiots in this country are allowed to vote. Spreading fear and basing their reasoning off of superstitions and steryotypes. - Reply to this comment

Last I heard he is a member of a christian church. Ps I guess it takes hillary backers to be true bigots. They oppose huck because he is a protestant minister and they oppose obama because they think he''s a muslim. I guess they are just anti religious - Reply to this comment

On the other hand, people who refuse to vote for someone because of their religious convictions are prejudiced bigots by definition. I don''t want those kind of people holding any power in government. - Reply to this comment
- 40% of Democrats and Independants in two small states have supported OBAMA. 40%of democrats are less than 20% of the electorate. If you believe that OBAMA will get all democrats or enough independants and Republicans to win in November Id like to sell you a bridge I own. It''s fun to be against our leaders, but what is OBAMA really for? His health plan leaves out 12 to 20 million americans. The old, weak and poor will most likely be left behind in the name of opposing mandates and allowing the young and strong to pot out. Americans are selfish and silly. I fear this nation is quickly becomming lost. I hope Im wrong about this. Still. I''ve never been wrong yet because I underestimated the superficial American public.
