- Last week CBS, and others, reported how people were feeling overwhelmed with all the Obama coverage. Today you run this drivel as well a SECOND totally subjective article about the 7 Things Obama needs to be careful of (or words to that effect).
Do you not read your own news? Who do you answer to CBS "News?" (I think I already know...) - Reply to this comment
- Seems like you are saying here in the article that you are not sure if Obama has been playing nice and now is showing his real colors towards the press.
Maybe he is still not showing his real colors. Is there anything that anyone can point at that shows who he really is? What has he done, in a significant way that shows who he is?
He is playing all those who support him. His hand has been shown but many want to forget who he follows, who he dedicated his book to, the hate for America he has in him. - Reply to this comment
- The ''media'' of today is nothing more than a million paparazzi. Everyone on the ''news'' feels they have to analyze every word, look and gesture.
Tim Russert isn''t dead-he''s hiding. He was one of the last REAL news people. He wouldn''t be caught dead in the midst of the ''new media''.
Rush Limbaugh delivers the news, just ask him.
The so-called MSM has been so busy lately, with the talking heads interviewing the other talking heads, that NONE of them caught the John Edwards'' story. The Enquieror(sp) broke the story! To listen to the media, as they hide behind "free speach", they all want to be MORE IMPORTANT than the news makers.
If YOU in the media are so smart, informed and sin-free why aren''t YOU running for office?
America DOES NOT CARE who''s *** who. We have E and Entertainment Tonight for that. WE don''t want YOUR opinion. We want NEWS, sans B S. from the news people. We want reporters to REPORT not preach.
On election day, I''LL KNOW who I''m voting for-your hype/bs won''t change that.
When nearly every news outlet is owned by a member of one political party, the other party is disadvantaged. I feel if you in the media keep pushing YOUR take of what''s new(s), you TOO make lose in November. When you need "ratings" like a politician needs votes, remember WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, have the power... - Reply to this comment
- The only Problem Sen. Barack Obama has with the MSM is the fact that its corporate controllers are all members of the GOP.

- Always this as you probe him; 4 years ago he was voting present in the Illinois state legislature. No substance to this guy who lacks experience, a record of accomplishment, and the trust of Americans. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

- Oh, look! Another "Obama''s in trouble" story.
CBS is nothing more than a water-carrier for the RNC.
How about covering the REAL news? - Reply to this comment
- I don''t suffer bullies psy_war, or is it sigh_wh@re for the Chicago mob that owns Oba-me? It''s actually pitiful to witness you stalking others posts, and then trying to rock the boat -- not realizing that you''re the only one in it.
Back to Oba-ME: Phase 5 will be when he has a meltdown over having to choose between his innate cowardliness, or standing up to the really bad bullies of our planet. Real Americans don''t suffer bullies. - Reply to this comment
- "...if he loses his composure about something important."
Really? I have never seen Obama "losing his composure" about ANYTHING.
One thing we can count on with Obama is that he keeps his cool and remains thoughtful, respectful, and practical regardless of how stupid his rivals or the media acts toward him...like the ridiculous "Are you patriotic" tripe presented in the primary debates, or McCain''s latest Paris Hilton ads.
Also, Obama was hammered incessantly by the media regarding the misquoted "bitter" statements, his pastor J.Wright, he''s been unjustly described as a fip-flopper, there was the guilt-by-association Rezko thing, and most recently the "arrogant" meme.
The media has not favored Obama.
Although i agree with some conservatives, that McCain needs more coverage. It''d be nice if they decided to cover their sweetheart, McCain- and his confusion and many many foreign policy gaffes. - Reply to this comment
John Mc Cain has a media problem. He cannot deliver one inspiring speech, nor does he enjoy the approval of populations or leaders in potentially allied countries which we could really use at this time..
Personally I do not care if OBAMA is purple. He has a plan to end the war in Iraq, tax the wealthy, and to funds and encourage the use alternative fuels.
Mc Cain wants to build 45 nuclear power plants which will be paid for by the utility customers, us. Nuclear power plants take 4-5 years to construct and the cost is added to your bill at 5 billion dollars per plant or 250 billion dollars.
Like I said, I do not care if OBAMA is purple.- Reply to this comment
- Ok I am tired of seeing article after article detailing Obama''s problems with the media, or with white voters, or with blue color voters or whatever. Obama is ahead in the polls and has been since he got the nomination - so why exactly does Obama have a problem? A five point lead in the polls turns into a landslide victory in the electorial college - so I would say it is McSame who has the problems. Why don''t we see articles titled Why is McSame having problems connecting with voters who aren''t in nursing homes yet?

- Just when one thought the Clintonians had finally got over their *** kicking, here we go again witnessing their continued sense of sour grapes. What a bunch of heifers.

- Could it have been simply that First Lady Michelle and their children had a prior commitment to honor? It really could be really that simple as to why they didn''t accompany the President-elect to Hawaii to visit with his grandmother. Somehow Republicans can always make a mountain of make-believe to anything. Republicans need to give reality a chance--leave those lil'' boys alone in the airport stalls and get a grip on reality...not make believe!

- The only shining that will be connected with President-elect Obama will be his orders to lil'''' Hillary and the other White House chambermaids/housekeepers to do a decent job readying the quarters of visting dignitaries. Face it, terrorist don''''t lob softballs or play powder-puff football either, so lil'''' missy''''s pipe dream had to end the way it did. Don''''t forget to rotate the laundry lil'''' girl.

You give black folk a bad name.
Don''t address obama''s votes, but harp on hillary.
I think you''re fake, and pretty stupid.
Good luck! - Reply to this comment
- If you''re on vacation far away from your home, and your kids and wife have the opportunity to visit their grandmother, why wouldn''t you take them?
Obama traveled to Hawaii, visited for one hour, the 85 yo white grandmother who raised, but his daughters and wife didn''t go.
Why?
Hm. obama voted FOR telecom immunity via FISA; he thinks it''''s OK for telecoms to spy on US Citizens.
HIllary voted AGAINST FISA immunity.
Obama voted FOR *** Cheney''''s "energy plan". Hillary and McCain voted AGAINST IT.
Now, Obama is saying he''''s open to OFFSHORE DRILLING, while most Progressives are against it.
Obama racebaited his entire campaign against Hillary, and I''''m sorry folks, but 20,000 votes SHOULD NOT EQUAL THE SAME AMOUNT OF DELEGATES as 2,000,000 votes, which is EXACTLY what was done with obama''''s caucus wins against Hillary''''s actual VOTES.

Apparenlty "blkpresident" thinks it''s OK to call women hos, ay? yea, that''s really progressive.
Blacks aren''t above women, women aren''t above blacks, etc.
People are equal. A mixed race candidate, i.e. Obama, can be criticized just as every other presidentical candidate, and his perceived skin color will not stop that.
With that said,
obama voted for FISA...with bush.
obama voted for Cheney''s energy plan, with bush.
obama is open to offshore oil drilling, with bush.
Hillary voted on the first two, WITH REAL PROGRESSIVES.
Blacks are open for criticism just like everyone else. That''s what equality is all about...get ready, and shove the "Racism" comments where the sun doesnt'' shine. - Reply to this comment

- Sinclair,
The reason you, old man McCain and the Republicans resort to these tactics is because you wish to detract, confuse and otherwise create doubt in the mind of others; however, unless you or anyone else have FACTUAL evidence, I say get use to President Obama for the next 8 years. What a bunch of F$#%# clowns!
