It's Getting Better All the Time!

Really, I thought it couldn't get any better than pulling up a chair and popping up the corn to enjoy the Democrat internecine warfare between Clinton and Obama partisans, in the netroots and elsewhere.
But it did. Now, the left is in full hue and cry, denouncing Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos -- members in good standing of the MSM -- for the questions they asked at last night's debate.
Who would have thought that Gibson and Stephanopoulos would serve as the unwitting mouthpieces of the unsophisticated, "small town"-type folk like me -- who actually care about what our prospective presidents think about the people they hope to lead and about the religious leaders they follow, on the one hand, or about their ability to give an honest accounting of their lives and experiences, on the other? Who knew that representatives of the MSM might finally catch on that, for the "bitter" people in America, these issues are more than just "distractions," and that character counts?
I already knew that both the candidates in last night's debate want to tax me silly, put our health care system under more government control (hey, it's worked well for the post office, no?) and kneel in abject surrender to the terrorists. We've had more than twenty other debates to fill us in on the policy details.
What I'm still learning about is how Barack Obama handles tough questions under pressure (and hey, if he can't handle some tough talk from Gibson & Stephanopoulos, he sure has no business visiting with Ahmadinejad!). Until last night, likewise, I wouldn't have believed that Hillary Clinton would ever admit to "[saying] some things that weren't in keeping with what I knew to be the case" (in other words, openly lying). These guys made some news and gave us the opportunity to learn something new about them. Wow.
What the forces of political correctness in general and Obama partisans in particular don't get is that you don't make questions go away by preventing people from asking them. If I were Barack Obama -- and normal, regular voters had questions about whether I loved the American flag -- I would darn well want to get those asked and answered, convincingly, by me. I certainly wouldn't be pouting about them, or permitting my representatives to do so, either. Talk about propagating an image of weakness . . .
Please. Anyone who can't handle the questions being served up by America's MSM has no business anywhere near the Oval Office.

It's Brian Ross, ABC News, who has done some good reporting on Obama's questionable ties. I'm sure his reporting has been strong motivation for some of the questions.
I thought it interesting how hypersensitive Obama was to questions about Rev. Wright, etc. This isn't a national leader. Although I don't care for Hillary Clinton, she was clearly in better control, more positive, and had better ideas. Obama was so unsteady that he again launched into his "mother from Kansas, etc." spiel again. |

Obama is lying to you about his beliefs ...
He lied about his Wright connections ... "I didn't hear, then I did hear" ...
He is lying to you about wanting to be a uniter ... he has never done anything in his entire life to show he is a uniter, not one thing ...
If you are a resident of his state he lied to you when he said he would not run for President in 2008 ...
I'm sorry but the only thing consistant about Mr. Obama is his willingness to do anything to gain more political power or money ...
Sadly he is using you for his own gain, not yours ... |

I find it amusing that when a GOP cheerleader in good standing calls on the media to pay attention to what really matters (like Iran/Iraq) they're being 'serious', and when a Dem cheerleader does the same, they're being whiny partisans.
