Political Players: Former Clinton Chief Strategist Mark Penn Argues The Press Has Lost Its Credibility

[timkarsno]

Obama is only thinking of himself and not the people of AMerica .... do you know why he does not want to go one on one with Mccain cause ... he knkows he will lose face down ... it''s called Experience and knowledge!
The people of America knows it .... so ... American''s be wise ... see the truth ... behind this so called man who thinks he is the one for us ...!

NO Obama! NO Obama! No Obama!

What ever hapeen to his middle name HUSSEIN?

Conveniently removed it to hide his real self!

NO Obama! No Obama! All lies! lies! and not facts from him!

But seriously CBS News-- how do you sleep at night? I''m asking as a journalist. How do you sleep at night, knowing what you''re doing to American journalism? Doesn''t it make you feel ashamed? It should. You''ve betrayed your country and you''ve betrayed your (former) standards.

Charlie Gibson interviewed Obama and Palin. Below are the questions. Who do you think is being vetted and who is the media hiding and treating with kid gloves?

Obama interview:
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to %u201Cwin%u201D?
How does your family feel about your %u201Cwinning%u201D breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor%u2019s [Clinton] speech?

Palin interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you%u2019re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren%u2019t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]

UNLESS OBAMA AGREES TO MORE NON-"MSM" HEAD-TO-HEAD TOWNHALLS WITH JOHN MCCAIN, I DONT THINK "THE MORE EXPERIENCED, NON-POLARIZED ELECTORATE" WILL EVER REALLY KNOW:

(1) WHAT OBAMA CAN DO FOR THEM
(2) WHETHER THEY CAN TRUST HIM TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OR
(3) TRUST HIM TO BE THEIR CHIEF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL LEADER.

THEN, OF COURSE, OBAMA COULD PROPOSE ONE OF SEVERAL VERSIONS OF ROSHAMBO TO DECIDE THE ELECTION IF HE MANAGES TO KEEP IT CLOSE OR IF IT GOES 269-269. EITHER MAJOR VERSION OF ROSHAMBO WOULD BE APPROPRIATE:

Next time somebody says something about Palin "standing up to Big Oil" and even taxing their windfall profits, remind them of how it REALLY works and how Palin REALLY gave each and every Alaskan an additional $1,200.

A company is taxed. What happens? They take it out of CEO pay? They take it out of profits? Or do they pass it on?

Is Palin''s "show of force" against Big Oil anything more than a [state] government giveaway to Alaskans that every American must pay for by way of increased heating oil and gasoline costs?

REALLY?

Next time you are at the pump, blow Palin a kiss. She bought her support in Alaska with your gasoline credit card.

Democrats have attacked:
Women who have made it to the top of their field on their own
Single, unwed, young mothers
Young men who have owned up to their obligations
Rednecks in general
Latinos

Are you guys insane? You''ve p!ssed away much of your voting base! You think this is over? The attacks you launch today you''ll pay in November and two years from now, when you lose Congress yet again. Sad, sad state of affairs for the party of the poor, underserved. You''ve shown that the only folks you serve are your hunger for power, regardless of who gets hurt in the process.

Palin not ready for prime time ...

There are a lot of calls at three o''clock in the morning that motherhood can prepare one for, but few--if any--are related to the presidency ...

While Barack Obama has stood firm on employee free speech rights, making sure that those who dare commit the truth on behalf public integrity, the taxpayer and national security are protected, John McCain refuses to commit to real whistleblower protections.

Even now, conservative free speech groups are furiously lobbying him to take a stand, in part to try to neutralize Obama''s leadership on the issue.

I know how important this is, having won the U.S. Office of Special Counsel''s "Public Servant Award"--the highest award given in the federal service to whistleblowers and, in my case, the first one given to a national security whistleblower. [www.osc.gov/documents/press/2001/pr01_16.htm]

More than a maverick and his sidekicks, McCain and his lobbyist crew appear to be the "loan arrangers."

What are his people afraid of?

A little ethical dissent in government?

Character Counts ...

Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel %u2013 even by the standards of modern politics.

%u2018McCain is the classic opportunist. He%u2019s always reaching for attention and glory,%u2019 he said.

John McCain''s top ten temper explosions ...

To ladyesq1: The media turned on Hillary when they fell in love with Obama.

[smurfcrusher]

Have you heard the latest? Palin is falsely claiming she went to Iraq.

In reality, she only went to Kuwait.

But you can SEE Iraq from Kuwait!

By that reasoning, she must think she''s an expert on Iraq.

What an idiot.

The media isn''t harder on Palin than they were Hillary. MY GOD, are you nuts? They personally attacked Hillary''s character, name, her marriage, called her names, mocked her body parts, mocked her "shrill" laugh. Palin is just getting attacked on policy, inexperience, and having kids. Big deal!

Negro-Vote: You sound like an old-style racist, not the modern, the non-bed sheet wearing racist, or do you still wear your bed-sheet on occasion like to work, if you have a job that is

MARK PENN IS RIGHT...AND HE AND I DISAGREE ON MOST EVERTHING, BUT HE IS HONEST. HE SEES THE JOINT SUICIDAL PATH THAT THE DEMS AND THEIR WILLING AIDS IN THE LEFT WING SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST MEDIA HAVE EMBARKED ON.
I HOPE THE LEFT (AND ITS MEDIA WING) CONINUES ITS ASSAULT AGAINST GOVERNOR PAYLIN. IT HAS PUT MAC/PAY IN THE LEAD IN VOTES AND EVs. THE FAR LEFT IS SO PREDICTABLE...NEVER MIND, YOU HAVE HALIBURTAN AND CHENEY''S BUNKER AND WMDS THAT NEVER WERE, EXCEPT FOR THE WMDS THAT WERE DESTROYED, BY US, BEFORE BILL PUNTED FOR SWISS TRINKETS (WHICK HE NEVER GOT). I SUGGEST SARAH AND BARRY, TOWN HALL STYLE, NO NOTES, NO TELEPROMPTER (CHUCKLE, NO WAY FOR BARRY) FOR BARRY AND NO NO EAR PIECES FOR THE MESSIAH. WIPEOUT! 232 YEARS AND WE HAVE NEVER ELECTED A SOCIALIST...WHATS UP FOLKS...MAYBE I''LL WORK 10 MORE HOURS THIS WEEK FOR YOU...NOT. BTW, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SOCIALIST AND A COMMUNIST IS TACTICS. THEY BOTH WANT THE SAME THING...BUT LOOK WHAT MAO,STALIN AND POLPOT DID TO ACHIEVE THEIR ENDS...APPROX 100 MILLION DEAD...NOW READ THE LEFT WING BLOGS...FRIGHTENING.
