The media lies by omission.

June 3, 2008

Did you see he photo of Obama speaking before a group of "supporters" as far as the eye could see ? The truth of that "mass crowd" grouping allegedly for Obama was that the crowd was there due to a band performance that preceded Obama's presence there. The crowd, essentially, was there in such numbers due to the musical event, not due to Obama. Drudge never corrected his earlier enthusiasm of the crowd as photographed -- after Obama took the stage -- and it created (and has maintained) a false enthusiasm for Obama.

Our American liberal media has given up all pretense of being fair and unbiased. Obama has been given a free ride. He is still a "mystery" man hidden from real scrutiny by his fawning liberal media. His background is very jaded.

As Pogo once said, "we have met the enemy, and he is our media."

Drudge, "Liberal Media"? I don't think so. If Drudge is responsible for the pics, he did it that way to scare the hell out of you.

I listen to his speeches and find myself not very impressed by his demeanor and a lack of depth in what he says. I've read others refer to him as an "empty suit", and although I try to be open minded about him, something strikes me as a lack of conviction about what he says, he seems almost bored at times leaving an impression that he is playing to a crowd he would otherwise not give the time of day, in other words, a touch of arrogance. I wonder where is this charismatic, 21st century candidate -- why do I tune out when listening to his speeches sometimes? Some say he is at ease in his role and comfortable in his skin. Is he a laid back candidate or is he just playing the role? Today, in his speech at AIPAC, he sounded like a totally different candidate, just another politician promising the crowd all it expects from a candidate they could endorse.

Just don't see what others do and I cannot understand how his 20 years at white-hating Trinity Church got so little scrutiny and his resignation came only when he could no longer could continue to be part of this church.

I think that his nomination is truly historical, but I do not see a historical presidency this election.

Heres an interesting comment from Liberal Democratic candidate for President of the United States of America.Barack Hussein Obama.
Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama has served in The American Armed Services? From Barack's book, Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' HE DID NOT SAY: 'STAND WITH AMERICANS'!!!!!

The band at that concert, The Decemberists, while indie rock darlings, would not draw 75,000 ANYWHERE. Quick, name one of their songs.


Exactly.
