Whine! Whine! Whine!

Racists Media --

OK when it was sexist ---

So, it's perfectly fine for Obama to have "concerns" but if it's Clinton, it's called "whining?"

I guess then, that's it's fine to have a sexist media, but not a racist media.

There is no difference! Both are terrible and should not be tolerated!

Obama is about to be indicted for his role in the Rezko/Auchi/General Mediterranean/Syrian mafia criminal enterprise. Just check out the chronology of his activities in Evelyn Pringle's series at opednews.com:

Curtain Time for Barack Obama - Part V
(1 comments) If the Combine's plot to get rid of Patrick Fitzgerald and shut down Board Games had worked, Rezko would have landed an office right smack in the middle of the White House.

Curtain Time for Barack Obama - Part IV
(17 comments) The solution to the problems arising from the unsuccessful attempts to shut down Operation Board Games would be for Barack Obama to become president and issue a bipartisan pardon to all members of the "Combine" who funded his seat in the US Senate. The scam worked when Scooter Libby took the fall for the Bush administration.

Curtain Time for Barack Obama - Part III
(11 comments) Three days after the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Aiham Alsammarae, the former electricity minister convicted of corruption in Iraq, put up $2.7 million in property to help raise $8.5 million to free Tony Rezko from jail in Chicago, the Times reported that Alsammarae had contributed six times to Obama's presidential campaign.

Curtain Time for Barack Obama - Part II
(13 comments) If the Combine's plot with the Bush administration to shut down Operation Board Games had worked, Obama would be home free. But it failed and the Republicans are just waiting to air the roadmap of dirt pieced together from Fitzgerald's investigation if Obama is nominated. McCain is in the clear because there is no sign of his involvement anywhere.

Curtain Time For Barack Obama - Part I
(32 comments) Republicans have enough damaging information against Barack Obama to knock him off the ballot before the November election. Those at the top of the Democratic Party know this by now and voters need to recognize that if they nominate him they are throwing the election. Nothing else can explain why they would allow this disaster to happen.

It's all about HOW you do it. These are legitimate concerns and comments. McCain's campaign is rife wife corrupt ties and schemes on public financing and the media acts like he is a long lost buddy. Can't wait for that 1st debate.

Obama is complaining about press coverage? Are you sh*tting me?

ahhhh i love it.. it sure didnt take obama very long, considering he technically isnt the cAnidate yet, to start the "oh poor me" bull##@@. give me a break.. you could have waited a LITTLE longer before you started whining, i mean, what are you gonna come up with when you actually start debatiing him?! dont waste all of it so soon.. thats like starting a one mile race in a dead sprint..

Big people talk about ideas, little people talk about other people

What a joke! When the boyz club at MSNBC was making fun of Clinton and the Obama fan club was selling "bros before hoes" T-shirts, I never heard a single word of complaint from this elitist snob. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, all of a sudden complaints about bias in the media are legit rather than whining? Give me a break. If you can't take the heat "sweetie" get out of the kitchen. This is yet another reason why this Democrat is not voting for Obama.

Of COURSE McCain has received less coverage. He isn't news! McCain is getting a "free ride", partly because the news media has been so busy with the anointing of Obama for the last few months. Any "extra" time on a newscast has been spent tearing Hillary Clinton apart and telling us she's "finished". The media paid attention to the Republican race for awhile, until they helped Huckabee get rid of Romney, the most viable and intelligent candidate. Ron Paul is still a minor worry, but mostly to McCain. If Paul decides to run an independent campaign, it will surely elect a Democrat in November. Otherwise, McCain's chances of election will be greatly increased if Hillary is forced out by the DNC (as they've been trying to do from the get-go). But, for the moment, Old Man McCain isn't especially newsworthy.

well first of all, what do you really expect obama to talk about?? his experience on the issues?? ok, so that takes up a half an hour, then what?? im pretty sure we all already know where he stand s on the issues, and we all know where mccain stands on the issues. so really, it all comes down to the mudslinging and the B.S. that americans really cant stand. who needs campaign reform though right?? i mean, its only going to cost between one and a half and two BILLION dollars to elect a president. i mean, what else could that money really be spent on right??

"I would expect that the press will submit him to the same scrutiny that they submitted me [to]," Obama told the questioner.

Does Obama think he has been scrutinized? Give me a break.

Aahhaaaaa. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Oh this is rich. Really, I have decided...I hate this guy for sure. I saw him and Michelle at a rally, they encouraged us to vote for the "First African American", as one, I'm not easily manipulated by race. This takes the cake. He wants kit glove treatment all the way and there are the idiots out there who do what he says. Invasion of Body Snatchers: "Why do you speak ill of Obama? You obviously have not been taken over, follow me." "No! You people are WHACKED big time! HILLARY, HILLARY, HILLARY!"

first off, im just AMAZED at the amount of attention (or in my opinion,excuses for whoever is losing) that democrats, by in large, put on media coverage. do democrats just vote soley by what fox news or msnbc reports?! is that what you go to the polls and vote on?! is the average american not smart enough to read throught the lines, and realize that certain tv stations and newspapers lean one way or the other?! im not saying its right, but do you automatically think because fox news leans towrds conservatives, that THATS the reason one canidate or another will lose the election?! i mean, maybe its true, but have americans become THAT stupid??? what ever happened to actually listening to the words that come out of the canidates mouths, and there past voting records?? hmmmm, just a thought.. quit trying to find excuses for EVERYTHING.

It’s pretty clear by now that Barack Obama is running a defensive (some would say whining) campaign. While it may not be the complete picture that is being painted thus far I think it’s fair game to assume that a large proportion of Americans would agree.

Considering that the majority of the MSM is clearly “in the tank” for Barack Obama I cannot understand today’s complaint. True, they have somewhat subjected him to some scrutiny thus far (Rezko, Wright, Michelle Obama, Hamas) the counter to that is that the MSM is more than happy to “spin” these events in Obama’s favor.

Regarding Keating 5, this matter was already settled in the Senate years ago. His involvement was minimal and nearly 100,000 dollars was returned to the United States Treasury. However, unlike Obama’s characterization of this matter, McCain continues to face scrutiny over this event not only from the MSM, but from extremist factions on the left and the right.

Finally, Mr. Obama stated, "I would expect that the press will submit him to the same scrutiny that they submitted me [to].” It is incorrect for him to use the past tense of the word, submitted, since the scrutiny that Mr. Obama should face and will face is far from over. The American public has many questions that they will submit to Mr. Obama which he will have to face until the general election.

The Obama bashers don't even read the articles they comment on now(have they ever?). There isn't a single thing in this article that indicates Obama is whining about anything. In fact, he acknowledges that it is reasonable for the media not to cover McCain and seems to relish the time to come when they will cover him.

Come on you tools, if you're going to whine about Obama, at least have the decency to read the articles you're commenting on. You think you're going to win swing voters like me over with those tactics? Your choir is the only one who is impressed with those tactics, those of us making up our minds see those tactics for what they are- Stupid and desperate.

Response to Jackson, there are more scandals related to Mccain and his wife than Obama. Do don't worry, time will come to stripe down Mccain down to dust.

The "Vote for Change" reregistration drive and the "Obama Organizing Fellows"
program are two things that the GOP and McCain should really worry about. This is not 2004. The old rules and divisions
are fading fast.
I already see a trend for McCain - the Maverick - Bush makes ignorant comments regarding "Appeasement" in Israel and McCain backs up Bush's statement. McCain then goes before the NRA (Introduced by Karl Rove) talking about Democrats lack of support for the second amendment. He is taking up the Republican lines to shore up his numbers. The GOP is a sinking ship and a proponent of failed economic, social, environmental, and diplomatic policies.
This will be an easy decision when voters see Obama and McCain side by side in a debate - the choice will be very clear.

Obama 2008

For Benjamin:"I would expect that the press will submit him to the same scrutiny that they submitted me [to]," Obama told the questioner. "And if they don’t, I’ll have them talk to you

BENJAMIN...

see theres the problem.. you're leaving it up to other americans to try to swing your vote one way or the other??!! it has NOTHING to do with what i, or the nextt preson tells you.i think thats a huge problem in america today. NO BODY THINKS FOR THEMSELVES ANYMORE. listen to the canidates talk about the issues, see how they have backed that up in the past, and then decide on who fits your beliefs and values best. if there are people on the fence between barack obama,( the most liberal voting record in the senate) and john mccain (not a HUGE conservative, but lightyears away from the socialistic obama) you just shouldnt be able to vote. im not saying that any of the canidates are who i want, i cant believe we couldnt come up with something better than this, but i knew who i was voting for months ago. i just dont understand how people could be on the fence between these two?! they have TOATLLY differnet values and beliefs on governments role for the country.

It's astonishing to see all of your comments going off the somewhat deceptive headline, yet bearing no relationship to the actual content of the blog post. You Obama-bashers/Hillary-backers just went and confirmed the established stereotype: uneducated, ignorant dolts with ADD who can't even read a short article before spouting off about what they ASSUMED it said... Idiots.

For Josh in Seattle and everyone else: "But in that initial bid for political office, Obama quickly mastered the bare-knuckle arts of Chicago electoral politics. His overwhelming legal onslaught signaled his impatience to gain office, even if that meant elbowing aside an elder stateswoman like Palmer." Chicago Tribune

Comment to Brent -

"Your inferior intelligence is only matched by another affirmative action beneficiary in the name of Clarence Thomas who should never have been able to get into Yale Law.
You are NO Martin Luther King Jr. Even Abe Lincoln had to confess he thought Blacks were inferior to Whites in terms of intelligence."

WOW - I have seen recently most of the anti Obama stuff boil down to this low level. It is sad, but if it is going to devolve into racist and childish remarks
I see it as a positive. It means they dont have a leg to stand on in regards to real issues.

Obama 2008 -2012!!!!!

Obama is right about the coverage, he does get too much and McCain doesn't get enough. Obama will not sit down and talk with the gun totin haters that support Hillary, why would he sit down and talk to Iran or terrorists?

Hold on thar Boris --- ARE YOU SERIOUS! I mean, c'mon -- Obama complaining about no scruitny for McCain. There is no assumption here -- it is what it is, pal. Obama has the GALL to complain about this. It's utterly ridiculous. Of course if we point this out we are being DIVISIVE aren't we?

Boris and Benjamin are just two more of the Obama staffers at their post to counterattack. But to both of them, we know how to read, know how to read Obama and make sure we don't punch that name by mistake in November.

For Bori:"I would expect that the press will submit him to the same scrutiny that they submitted me [to]," Obama told the questioner. "And if they don’t, I’ll have them talk to you

After stating (acknowledging)that McCain has not been scrutinized because of all the press Obama got running against Hillary. By the way, Hillary is out of the press now, yet still in the race. I would hope that she receive the same coverage as any other candidate.

Hillary will win the popular vote and would be a much superior president.

JOSH...

so wait a second.. you dont think that mccain should talk about democrats lack of repect or lack of commen sense on the second amendment??!! why is it wrong for him to do that?? conservatives love the second amendment and liberals think its the reason for everything bad in society, so why would he not talk to republicans on its importance??!! and if you honestly think that the average american thinks our president should try and sit and "talk things out" with the leader of iran, you're crazy. but heaven forbid if john mccain talks about these things.. unbelievable.

For the record; People don't have to be highly educated to know crap when they see, smell or hear it.

Are you people on this blog dumb or you want to be seen as dumb? first of all he was answering a question_ so it didn't come from him in the first place_ secondly even 10-year kid can notice that Mccain with all scandals surrounding his campaign has a pretty nice treatment_ finally what about this stuff of whining for racism? why can't you see beyond the skin color and try to use your brain_ I can assure you it doen't hurt to think with your head_

It's unfortunate that this election is coming down to race, and little else. Our only hope is that, by November, Americans will have a better picture of Obama's POLITICS, which are a LOT more important (and scary) than his race. We need to think about the CANDIDATE (and his/her philosophies), not his/her ethnicity. The sad part is that by November, it will be too late for Hillary Clinton, the best remaining candidate in either party.

Obama isn't "whining." READ THE ARTICLE. He was ASKED by a person in the audience to explain the lack of questioning McCain has received about things like the Keating Five. He actually said at this moment the lack of questioning was reasonable and not in any way unusual. How is that "whining?"

Obviously there are some Republicans out there that want to do a rerun of the Clinton years and demonize any Democratic nominee. They smeared Clinton and now they'll smear Obama. C'mon Republicans. Run on the issues.

Republicans just can't stand it that Obama will be the next president. They want someone who is a republican to further ruin the country. We are good and fed up with republicans who want to privatize social security and make things harder for retirement. Republicans can't be trusted to have the best interests of average Americans. Obama is a true christian, not a phoney christian like George Bush. Obama will deal fairly and honestly with all legislators and work on getting the best solutions for problems we face. Now is not the time to trust one more republican when it has been republicans who have brought our country to despair.

JEAN...

please tell me about ALL these scandals surrounding mccains campaign?? i would love to hear them.

Just a quick note to those of you who are posting book lenght discussions - some of us can't read.

Obama is always whining, he needs Hillary to spank his behind.

Irma -

"But in that initial bid for political office, Obama quickly mastered the bare-knuckle arts of Chicago electoral politics. His overwhelming legal onslaught signaled his impatience to gain office, even if that meant elbowing aside an elder stateswoman like Palmer."

Obama was hand picked by Palmer, to succeed her as she ran for higher office. It didn't work out and she came back and asked Obama to quit the race. He would not just quit, he had agreed to run, gathered finance, and planned his campaign. She tried to get on the ballot
with a petition, Obama had her Petition
examined officially and it was found that many of the names were not valid .
This is no reason to disparage Obama,
or to imply misogyny. As is the case today, Obama is in it to win it.

Yes we Can! (All of us)

O...

you are just a flat out idiot.. lol no better way to put it. where did you get all your info? michael moores website??!!.. idiot

If Obama wants to be reelected in 2012 he needs once president to invest a lot in EDUCATION_ There are too many dumb people out there_ But I must reckon I didn't know they can use computer to post comments

WELL SAID BEN...

WELL SAID BEN... we should just plain and simply not vote for obama because his ridiculous views on the american governments role for us and around the world, and his lack of experience on the issues he would face as president. not because he is black. well said.

BEN...

so more than half of all americans are automatically idiots then huh??!! good point.. lol that one just NEVER gets old for you guys huh??

Obama has nerve.

The press has given him the most favorable coverage of anyone.

They should let it rip on him now, for him being an idiot.

makes no sense, but good one.

Oh please. This is far from whinning. This is calling it how it is. McCain has been getting a free pass in the media and you all know it. Why? Because he's old, and I do mean OLD, news. I'm not concerned though. He's been playing third fiddle to Obama and Clinton. But once Clinton disappears in a few weeks, McCain will move up the the number 2 spot. Ironically, it's where he'll finish in November too.

OBAMA '08

Thepoint of the article which thinking citizens can take away was that Mr. Obama was ASKED a question, to which he replied. Those of us here who wish to make it seem as though the impetus was Obamaa's to raise a concern about unfair press coverage are dreaming. From what I've seen of the Republican and Democratic campaign, it was a fair question to be asked of Obama, but again, he was speculating an answer.

Let's all try to READ and not only READ INTO these articles the media posts.

tim -

What exactly is a positive in regards to our middle east policy as it stands now? GWB and by extension McCain have strengthened Iran through their failings in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their tough talk diplomacy has decreased our standing in the world and given terrorist groups the best recruiting tool ever.
OMG Obama is willing to follow the advise of John Bolton ,Condi Rice, Colin
Powell, and the Senate foreign relations committee.... horrible, the nerve.

Obama 2008!! - McCain is a great American. I wish he was elected in 2000
instead of GWB. He would have handled the War on Terror correctly. I just do not support GOP policy in 2008.

obama would snitch out his own mother if it got him the nom. this is not a man. this is a whining political punk.

But then again, I'm sure if Mr. Obama was asked what his favoroute pizza was, something would have been made of it. My point is, this doesn't add to a real discussion/critique/debate/conversation about what an astute American said regarding the choice this summer between a gallon of gas and a gallon of milk.

BEN..

even if the average american WANTED the government to "babysit" us, and have control of EVERY aspect of our lives,(which they dont) how in the HELL do you think mr. obama is to pay for any of the things he wishes to do?? ya know, considering our goverment has us just a "little bit" in debt right now? you think we should EXPAND government??!! i mean, even if you were an idealist (which you obviously are), you think you would at least look at it from an economic standpoint and say.. "hmmmmm, where does the money come from for all these ideas of his?" the answer: WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. besides the little, minor fact. that americans dont WANT bigger government. they screw up everything they get their hands on, yet theres people who vote for more of it.. hmmm, makes sense...LOL

posted?

Ben,

Seah must have been on vacation in the weeks before the Indiana and North Carolina primary b/c the media gave Obama everything BUT a free ride.

Rev. Wright pasted on every major network and article.

Results: Obama wins North Carolina by 14.7% and loses Indiana (similar demographics as Ohio and PA) slighty by 1.4%

Neither Clinton or Obama have recieved a free ride from the media (Bosnia-gate, Bitter-gate, Rev. Wright-gate, Bill Clinton-gate etc). John McCain has.

Barack is a fine young man who will still be a fine young man after Hillary gets the nod and if this doesn't happen then Mr. McCain who is a fine, decent individual will do the honors.

Obama for President! 2016!

also, i never said i was a huge mccain supporter. im not. i disagree with some of his views. BUT, that being said, he is lightyears away from obama, who has no experience in this at all. i dont want on the job training when we are talking about people who want to kill us. mccain will be alot stronger with national defense. plain and simple.

"O" is a professional. No one could type all that up the short amount of time that it is posted. I guess it has been recycled all over the Internet. I would like to hear from real people and their opinions.

Tim,

You know that $800 billion that's been spent on that little war in Iraq? I'm sure if we scale back on that just a bit, it might help cover a few programs Obama has proposed. Just a thought.

tims president.. so cute ben. if you were able to vote back in the day, im SURE you would have voted for jimmy carter. so if you want to play that immature game, whos the idiot? actually, there are alot of liberals that would STILL vote foe him.. lol

I'd like to know what happened to the mccain of 2000, when he would be man enough to question his own party if they were headed in the wrong direction.(i.e. tax breaks for the rich) Now he's like every other wimpy republican. He wants to distance himself from the worst president in history but will have a hard time of it since he voted with bush 95% of the time. mc-more-war does not stand a chance in the fall. Obama 2008 will be Great!!!

Howdy Doody,

"Funny how Obie doesn't complain or speak up when his fellow Democratic Senator, Hillary Clinton, is being vilified in the press."

I would agree with oyu there Howdy Doodie, it does seem somewhat suspect that Mr. Obama will not come to Mrs. Clinton's aid when she is being tumble dried, given she has on several occasions 'defended him' when the media was heating up around him. Even the last Bush blunder regarding "appeasement" showed Mrs. Clinton's loyalty to the Democaratic party.

Now, you also said," Its ok for her to be trashed, but when they ask Obama a tough question, they're not being fair."

Howdy Doodie, I just don't think that was a 'tough question' put to Mr. Obama. I just wouldn't sort the questions that way. I think it was an easy question that gave Mr. Obama an opportunity to put MR. McCain in the spotlight, or at least open a window to look further at some questionalble connections Mr. McCain may have had.

JIMMY..

ok, well said. im sure that would be a good start. but there has to be balance. if we pull out, and we give up on the very REAL war on terroism, like obama wants to do immedeately( which would be a bigger disaster of decisions that bush EVER made) what happens to all the terrorist that want to kill us?? what happens to all of them? u think there just going to say thank you, and give up on their plans?!?! im not saying i agree with what bush has done, contrary to what ben thinks and wants to try to portray, but WE ARE THERE. if its handled properly, it can be won.

BEN...

ok, ill try this one with you, yet another idealist... if there is going to be no new taxes for the "common man", yet he is going to EXPAND government yet again, where does the money come from? simple question for you.

and by the way ben, i said above if you wanted to keep playing the IMMATURE game... thats the only reason i brought up carter. because youre trying to associate every conservative to bush. quit playing games, and ill talk politics and spin the issues right around you.

Mr. Obama seems to be taking his cues on press coverage from Mrs. Clinton.

Stop whining already!

I've wondered why most of the press hasn't picked up on the story about how McCain rewarded some of his big supporters with a land deal that will make them millions:

Tim,

While I agree that getting out of Iraq will be a lot tougher than it was to get in, I do not believe it's a war we can actually win. Long term stability and democracy will never endure in Iraq without indefinite U.S. presence. Unfortunately que sera, sera. We can do our best there for another year tops, then the Iraqis should be on their own. There has to be smarter ways to combat terrorism other than to contiune a prolonged losing battle in Iraq. Engaging in meaninful diplomacy with Iran and Syria to try to stop them from starting WWIII? Not a bad first step.

The money for Iraq was NEVER there.

The whole war has been paid for with plastic.

Which means that even if that money had been used for social programs (not the government's responsiblity unlike military spending)...

THOSE would have been paid for with plastic too.

Sen. Clinton already complained media about taking easy on Sen Obama before.
Now, he understands Sen Clinton more than ever.

BEN...

the world was a differnet place when clinton was there for starters. then due, partly, to his incompetency, 9/11 happened. its been different ever since, and will continue to be that way whether you realize it or not. im sure if clinton were still in office, everything would be the same right? no 9/11, a stable economy, no energy crisis? everything would be juuust fine. and im sure if john kerry was elected, we would have dealt with the "pesky" terrorism problem, and it would have been over with a year after 9/11. the fact is, that our goverment has put us in SERIOUS debt. i mean serious. and you cant blame just democrats or republicans. they are all to blame. so even if there is compromise, you think that we can afford any of the ideas he has?! socialized health care? free college? continuing the fraud of a welfare program? not concerned with fixing the social security issue? the list goes on and on. then he thinks we should punish the oil companies and set up "reasonable" profit boards for companies??!! are you kidding me?! all of a sudden, the government is going to tell us how much money we can make??!! wow, im getting upset so i need to stop at that...

obama would snich out his own mother to get the nom, he isw not a man he is whining punk politician with delusions of intelligence, oh and his wife looks like the wolfman.

McCain will ask the insurance companies to lower prices on health insurance to help working people. He will also give a gas tax holiday to give a little relief to working people. McCain will secure Iraq before leaving that country. Obama will pull out and then have to return costing more tax money. McCain knows his foreign policy. Obama don't have a clue.

Go Hillary!

Poor Obama.... the media didn't offer you a more comfy pillow?

Anders Scooper - Who's Hillary?

McCain is a war hero. What has Obama done for his country for the last 20 years except go to church?

Did you know that McCain was condemned by the UN for his violation of the rights of Native People in Arizona?

"ACSA study reveals that after assembling a team of "pro-Peabody Western Coal" Indians and obtaining a false "Hopi-Navajo" Tribal Counsel designation by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for these paid Tribal representatives, in the period 1974-1996, Senator McCain was able to get large bands of the Dineh-Navajo relocated off their lands, so that Peabody Western could mine the coal under their farms at nominal expense."
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/33033

McCain was indirectly compensated by street name cash contributions to his Federal Election Fund during his Presidential runs, and through family business with Las Vegas Casinos who benefited from the coal driven power he supplied..."

Does Obama know that MSM picked McCain as well as him?

What's the fuzz about?

o. - Your scaring me. Time to replace the tinfoil on your head - it sounds like you're getting faulty info from those "voices".

Jordan, she's the candidate that will win the nomination and become president.Obama will become a washed up pool hustler. This is all speculation of course.

First of all Obama, you are NOT the nominee, and please God I hope you never are. Our country cannot cope with your lack of experience and self-centered attitude. Second, it's beyond laughable that you would dare to suggest the press has been anything but soft on YOU. Grow up, get out, stop wasting America's time.

I am a democrat and I am so sick of Obama and most of the democratic leadership. Obama is a whiny, weak candidate and he is most likely going to win the nomination. If anyone criticizes him they are being unfair or racist. Hillary is stronger on national defense, the economy, and everything else and yet it appears that Obama is going to win the nomination. While Hillary has some baggage, her baggage is a different kind from what Obama is carrying. No one could with a straight face question Hillary's patriotism. Obama's patriotism, weakness on national security, associations, and so on will be fair game for the republicans--as they are for a lot of democrats. Yet even though Hillary probably could win the election, the democratic party leaders are all circling to protect Obama. It is disgusting.
