Isn't it interesting that no matter how many articles have been written about McCain and Obama there's always a PUMA out there lurking in the bushes, hoping to seize any opporutnity to mention Hillary Clinton.

FYI, Clinton is no longer in the equation!!

McCain has been getting a free pass for some time now. All of the gaffes that he has made recently have rarely reached national network coverage. If it did, McCain would be a laughing stock.

Why would McCain pick up where Hillary left off? Blaming the media for his own failures. Both campaigns played to the low information voters, but people are paying attention. It won't work this time.
We need to look ahead and decide which candidate can make the most difference for our children, grandchildren and future generations. Don't we owe them more?

The McCain camp needs to stop whining and complaining about Obama's trip to the Middle East and Europe. McCain was the one who challenged Obama to go, and now he's mad because the media is covering the event?

Someone posted that Obama's trip is a dog and pony show. He's not holding campaign rallies, he talking to world leaders, generals, soldiers, citizens, local politcians and holding press conferences. In no way is that a dog and pony show!!

You guys are amusing to watch. The article is targeted toward media bias and it does exactly that, shows the media for what they are, yellow press, not actual news outlets. The media has been in love with Obama for a long time, for every negative story there are 10 positive, this was evident in the democrat primary and it is evident now. Instead of asking why Obama has waited till now to go visit our troops on the field of battle to figure out what's going on, the media is passing this off as a presidential visit, even to the point of sounding like he is already elected. That is rank bias in the media. Which is normal, the media has been doing this for a long time, it amazes me why so many people still support the news outlets or at least don't call them down on their false claims of unbiased reporting.

As for Obama's credentials in national security, defense, and foreign policy, they are non existent, fact, end of story. His little trip over seas is like a teenager waiting to the last minute to cram on a final exam. He made and proposed plans on what to do in our theaters of operation without ever having been on the ground to see what's going on. As McCain did say (and he is right for a change) you do your fact finding first, your planning next. What Obama's done is very juvenile and shows his rank inexperience and incompetence as a Commander in Cheif. All of you who keep harping on the war that should never have been, get over it!! You can't change the past, the true question now is, how do you WIN!? Obama has no experience or even a clue on what to do to win. He can't even draw on knowledge from his political party because they've been in the business of losing wars since Vietnam. It's one of the reasons why the democrat party is always weak on defense, no one trusts a democrat on defense because their default reaction is to give up. So what experience is Obama going to pull from, he doesn't have any of his own to speak of and his party has none to offer, they disowned the one member who got a clue... it's amazing how folks believe in "change" that has never been defined or even stated, Obama's a joke.

And the media isn't in bed with McCain either? Give me a break - that's the biggest joke of all.

The media (generally) has given up reporting for ratings and, in the case of blogs, hits.

Yeah, reminding the press covering his campaign that they are reporting on the losing team, that's really gonna' help.

Somebody find McCain's meds!

We need a President who is humble and wise...humility and wisdom is polished through long years of experience ... arrogance is the shadowing act of hiding inexperience and lack of judgement....Americans don't find those traits in Obama....

Hey Norm,

Here's a short list of the McCain gaffes that he has made recently:

1)Mistakes Iraq/Pakistan border
2)Flubs timeline of Sunni Awakening. He thinks it happened after the surge, when it was months before the surge in Iraq was conceived.
3)He still thinks Czechoslovakia is a country.
4) When retelling his POW story, he mixed up Pittsburgh Steelers and Greenbay Packers. (The Packers team-line up was supposed to be the names of his squadron mates)
5)Just recently in his interview with Katie Couric, he says he thinks the media coverage is fair.
6)He mixed up Somolia for Sudan
7)Monday in an interview he mixed up Iraq when he should've said Afghanistan.

Need I go on? There's a lot more!! If Obama had made just one of these errors it would be all over the news for at least three days! McCain is getting a free pass. PERIOD.

More Americans will be paying attention to the election after the first debate. And when that happens, Obama's going to mop the floor with McCain on the issues. The polls will then widen in Obama's favor.

"And when that happens, Obama's going to mop the floor with McCain"

Did you miss his debates with Clinton? He can't speak without a teleprompter. He's doomed.

I am me not some guy named neil, anyway, McCain is not "Obsessed" with Iraq. You are the one "Obsessed" with Iraq, you can't get over the past. It doesn't matter how the war started, what matters now is WINNING!!! You can't change the past the idea now is to win. Obama and the democrat party doesn't know how to win. Obama doesn't even have the intelligence to understand basic planning concepts. I don't know of a single course in business, science, or military where you make a plan before you have data. That is exactly what Obama did and it's something kids do which is why we call them kids. Everyone had the same data when the Iraq war started, the Intelligence agencies we rely on made a mistake, the result is the Iraq war. Now we are in the fight and we need to win. Logically you get the data, in this case we can go to the source, McCain has, and get the information we need to make a plan. Obama did it backwards... That's not intelligence that's stupid. There is no other word to describe it and no excuse except the same excuse we give to kids who do the same thing, he's inexperienced, and when you're talking about the security and lives of americans... I'm sorry Obama fails.

McCain is not getting a free pass, there are constant media attacks on McCains age and his experience, but most notably there is practically nothing positive reported on McCain. The same treatment can not be said of Obama.

We keep being told about about how much coverage the media gives Obama. But much of that seems to consist of bashing Obama (check the routine "coverage" on Fox, Headline News, CNN, etc. - to say nothing of the majority of the radio blowhards).

The McCain camp's claim of media bias is just taking a leaf out of the same, tired old Bush strategy book: say a thing often enough and people will start believing it's true.

Thank God John McCain has a sense of humor, something sadly lacking with Obama, his staff and supporters. Don't dare joke about the black guy with no experience or credentials! They certainly are right--it is not a laughing matter.
John McCain--America First 2008!

Nat Turner,

Trust me, Obama is the worst of all. Obama is dumber than Bush...as I siad, he's the dumbest POTUS in America's history...He'll break that record... He'll soon be registered in Guinness Books of Records....

REPUB,

I couldn't agree more...

Bush is not the worst president ever. In my lifetime I would have to toss it up between Carter and Clinton. Probably carter, I can't think of a more bungling president. Bush was unfortunate enough to be in office when the worst disaster ever to befall our nation since WWII struck. Thanks to Clinton's policies which were still in effect and in process of being worked out during Bushes first months in office.

Don't get me wrong, I disagree with a lot of what Bush has done as Commander in Cheif and as president. I also am not happy with McCain either, but the alternative first being Kerry and now Obama... *shudder* yeah, my vote for McCain is against Obama more than it is "for" McCain. I for one am sick of having to choose the lesser of two evils.. term limits on congress, we need higher turnover in our legislature.

Make no doubt about it, Bush will go down as the worst US president in history. When Clinton left office we had a budget surplus, and now look at the state of our economy!!

McCain doesn't know which way is up as far as the economy is concerned. Or is he still relying on Phil Gramm to deregulate more?

The whole platform of McCain's campaign is fearmongering. In 2004, the American public re-elected Bush based on fear. They believed all the lies Bush told about the war in Iraq. Now voters are smart enough to know that they will not vote for a president based on fear propoganda!!

What McCain is going to do to get the media back to him? a jocke?

If the conversations i am overhearing in the retail stores pay lines mean anything, the American people aren't fooled by Obama and his "concert tour"
But, I guess we'll find out come October. Yes, I said October. It won't take til November to know.
Something is in the air. McCain has been too "what, me worry". And if you think it's because he's stupid, keep on thinking that, it's exactly what he wants you to do.
There IS going to be an
"October Surprise" for Obama. Get ready for it. It won't happen until after The Dem Convention, but it may even happen in September even tho that would be a minor strategy mistake.
But, it's fatal for Obama's campaign. The GOP prays that Obama won't die or go to prison before November as they DO NOT want to face Hillary, ESPECIALLY if Obama has become a martyr to the Dem Party.

The video is hilarious. The media are a bunch of whimps when it comes to Obama. It's embarrassing. The only news organization with guts is ABC and FOX.
They are more fair and balanced. Even though I thought ABC stuck it to Clinton.
Still, I get my news mostly from ABC and international sources now.
