Obama Shuns Press Conferences, Sits With 'EXTRA's' Mario Lopez

Thank you Gloria. I could not have said it better.

I think the majority of the people posting on here are crazy! Where are you getting your information? Geesh, I have never seen a bunch of idiots in my life talk so much crap. If you're for Obama--you support socialism/terrorism---if you're for McCain...you get the idea. How about just voting for who you're going to vote for without slinging the mud? It's no wonder our children are disrespectful towards each other and their parents if this is what they get at home. For once we have a candidate that is not trying to personally slander another with insinuations about race/religion/ethnicity and past associations. But nooo, we have to have the other guy bring things up that in the long run---DO NOT MATTER! Please! what matters to me, a single mother, a full-time employee, a graduate student, a caretaker for a retired parent and a homeowner who pays taxes while making less than 30K...what each candidate has to offer my parent, my son and myself and if these campaign promises will be kept. I want to make sure that the candidate I pick is for the people who are actually struggling to keep this country afloat. And I do mean..Joe the plumber....GI Joe and Jane....Josephine the waitress, etc, etc. So if this election has any of you thinking beyond that---than I pity this country.

Kind of reminds me of when I was a teenager sneaking behind my parent's backs when I knew I did something wrong. BO has been fabricating stories and answers for so long he is afraid that possiibly, when confronted, he will contradict a previous story or lie. Welcome all of you who have recently awoken to this weird reality before us. We are about to elect a man to the highest office in the world, and we know nothing about him except that he can talk.

How interesting that McCain attacks Obama for being a "wealth redistributionist"! Think about this line of attack for a moment.The corporate/financial elite of this nation have been feeding like pigs at the public tax trough for over a hundred years! No one thinks to point the finger at THEM and accuse HEM of redistributing the nation's wealth into their own profits. The Pentagon has claimed a MASSIVE share of the nation's wealth, collaterally enriching all the huge corporations that supply the ordnance and everything elase that the military buys from them with OUR tax dollars. No one accuses these parasitic companies (often getting contracts without even a competitive bid) of redistributing the public's wealth.

Yet McCain shamelessly and stupidly levels this charge at OBAMA! Freud developed the theory of projection in psychology and psychoanalytic thought. PROJECTION! An individual, or even a group or an entire population can PROJECT onto others the very quality or behavior that the accuser is actually exhibiting or engaging in.

Here we have an obsequious corporate tool like John McCain, who has championed deregulation for decades, who openly proclaims Ronald Reagan to be his hero (the SAME Ronald Reagan who became notorious for his slashing of public social programs while simultaneously cutting taxes dramatically for the very WEALTHIEST of our citizens).... we have this senator from Arizona, who has ALWAYS supported wealth redistribution as long as it went from the bottom to the top, ACCUSING Barack Obama of wanting to "redistribute the wealth".

McCain makes this accusation with a straight face, perhaps UNAWARE of the bitter irony involved! Maybe he's too stupid to realize what a hypocritical stance he has taken. I suppose he and his supporters feel it is perfectly ACCEPTABLE for the wealthy to receive all manner of subsidies from our tax monies and it is criminal for our tax monies to be used to help the poor, the marginalized, and the middle class in ANY fashion. Anything that helps Americans who are NOT members of the wealthy ELITE are branded as ENTITLEMENTS.

All this transparent rape and pilage and plundering of the nation's wealth by the ELITE and the DEFENSE CONTRACTORS is NOT perceived by them or, perhaps even by the general public (thanks to a sycophantic corporate mass media who SHARE in the plunder)as entitlements. The people have been bamboozled in this manner for over a hundred years! McCain and h is masters are simply protecting their positions atop the economy.

Perhaps the electorate will deliver a huge MANDATE on November 4th by selecting the only candidate who might genuinely put the people first! We shall see.

Obama is a Patriot and Islam is a religion of Peace. This is OUR time. Obama 08 and forever.

Littlelee...good to hear it, hope you get the conservative Gov.

Do you think they can call us racist if we vote for Alan Keys, since he is more conservative than McCain...it would teach the republican party to pick a better candidate.

Louise...
No bunker for me. Hold onto those thoughts, though. If Barack wins, a revolution. If McCain wins, a revolution. Either way Babe... leftism will become a think of the past.

Why all the fuss? Human interest stories are what's best for the campaign one week before the election. with all of those scary robo calls going out from McCain, he has to do more things that make him seem AMERICAN and human - not just political. You guys make up your news anyway, so why do you really need to speak with him at all? Get OVER IT.

"Eight years ago and then four, the press gave a pass on GWB. We had to sit and take as the bullets disappeared into the media.

Now I get to watch the other side wiggle. Frustrating, isn’t it?

So, we can look forward to the press bringing out story of obama and cocaine usage (bush dwi coverage?)

or obama and his terrorist pals (bush and awol charges?)

obama and michelle the terrorist (bush and his wife the dwi homicide?)

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMING MEDIA'S COVERAGE OF OBAMA

media is going to get its due it obama wins - as TV stations on the obama ban - they will get put in their place by the obama freezeout policies if they dare to cover the truth.

Obama is a pending disaster for America and the World. He doesn't need to do press conferences, he OWNS the media who believe, like Louis Farrakhan that Obama is THE Messiah. The press are behaving more and more like the countries that control what the people hear and see, the press has created Obama. The press is no longer objective, and 2008 will be the year the press became THE Obama propaganda machine. So, why have a conference? We have the democratic talking points 24/7 on the major networks-

Eight years ago and then four, the press gave a pass on GWB. We had to sit and take as the bullets disappeared into the media.

Now I get to watch the other side wiggle. Frustrating, isn’t it?

I wonder just how deep that tank is the MSM is in for B.O. and the mob because it's going to get real interesting to see if free speech becomes a part of the White House program. Right now those hard questions as Curly Joe and his parner avoid are going to surface big time if they make it to the top. You know sucking up to get on the press staff is a real art.....

I can only hope and pray that folks like Louise earn $250,000 or more and can "spread their wealth," to folks like me who don't earn that type of income.

This man comes with a price tag that no one should have to pay.

funny...he hasn't been able to get Hudson' number...he was able to steall all kinds of information regarding Joe the plummer overnight...again...all talk no substancce.....and these where hard questions Mario asked.....he needs questions like Biden was asked the other day.......and questions Palin is always asked...not how's your day...what's your sign......he is such a phoney ...but there appears many fools who believe this arrogant person....read his books and find out what he really thinks of our great country and the people in it...maybe you would see what others see

The paranoid, pathetic, ignorant and cowardly desperation of the Winguts on this site makes me more confident than ever than all my hard work as an Obama volunteer is paying off. Hel-lo President Obama!

Thanks for making me feel better and for motivating me in these last few days. You guys are SCARY!

Buck up, Righties. You can be good Americans who believe in the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and democracy and give your new president a chance, or you can build a darn bunker and sit things out for the next few years till Caribou Barbie gets knocked out of the GOP primary.

if you remember...he didn't have time to visit the injured soldiers either because the media couldn't go....no photo...no visit.....he is afraid of REAL questions...he gets in too much trouble without his teleprompter...he is too open how he wants to run our great country into the ground

A powerful voice and pleasant words are a sweet salve to the troubled soul. The ears hear the sounds of hope and the heart rejoices. There is a way that seems right and just. Man, woman and child join hand in hand and follow. The words that brought hope and light soon echo hollow and empty, like sound beneath the ground. The truth is revealed. The brilliant glow of pride and self-adoration betray the common man. An honest heart seeking truth and justice soon discovers the false light is only a beacon lighting the path to destruction. The choice is up to you. Choose you must and choose you will. Either you choose it or it chooses you. Be careful how you choose for it may be the last choice you have. Remember, everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination and shall not go unpunished.

Toward the end of Hillary's primary campagin, her spokespeople came out and said they had startling information about Obama and would be releasing it at the appropriate time. It was mentioned a few times and then nothing. She lost the primary and nothing else was ever mentioned. Wonder what THAT was all about? Does anyone else remember that and/or have any ideas?

I would MUCH rather have 8 more years of this administration that 4 years of total disaster under the most liberal and elite Democrat to date in Congress. Drink his Kool-Aid all you like, but in less than a year, this country as we know it, will have totally changed for the worst. Then I wonder how many of you out there will be crying in your beer that you were wronged, screwed, deceived, and lied to by this Pied Piper with Greek columns. He will attempt to strip this country of everything we hold true and sacred in 4 years, and you, the voters for this idiot, will be hurt the most because you believed this snake oil salesman.

What I think is so funny, is that this very network, ABC, is one of many (except for Fox News Channel) networks who are totally in the tank for this guy. After reading all the comments, it's good to know the majority are scared to death of this candidate, and scared enough not to give him your vote. I'm hoping your wisdom will encourage you to vote for a true patriot and one who hasn't ever been fearful of serving his country. And, if your wisdom doesn't convince you to vote for McCain, I pray your fear for Obama does.

To quote Joe Biden on SNL "If Barack Obama is elected, we will have a crisis"

If Obama wins I'll be surprised but very happy. If McCain wins, it'll be the same ol' same ol'. Either way, the country won't fall apart. Even with Bush things move on.
