We already have a case for concern, IMO---Ongoing friendship and political connections to Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn + Rev. Wright's open preaching of Black Liberation Theology and strange but longtime friendship with nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan (two aspects of the controversy that are NEVER mentioned in the newspapers). His Rezko connection isn't treason, just shows the kind of people who have been supporting him since he was a lolely "community organizer" in the tradition of Saul Alinsky. Like I said, bring on the bogus Pat Buchanan affiliation and AIP membership issues. We look forward to the issue of experience and past associations. Finally. SWITCHING GEARS TO THE ISSUE OF BIAS... The media is more in-the-can for Obama than I have ever seen them in the can for anybody--including (as she now knows too well) even Hillary. It's shameful to see the so called journalist class become a propaganda wing for a single candidate, just because he's black and gives a good speech. In the past we of a more conservative persuasion suspected media bias. This year, all pretense on their part has been thrown to the wind. Listening to Chris Matthews talk about tingles going up his leg, or Olberman wondering speculatively if he doesn't sound "too sycophantic" in his praise of Obama's speech really tell the tale better than we can. But look at the headlines. Note, the NYT has not one, not two, but THREE front page stories today about Palin's daughter and so-called concerns about the "vetting process". Where are their front page stories about Ayers when the Daley library finally released the documents Kurtz was looking for, about Obama's work with him on a left-wing not-for-profit organization? Where are their front page stories about the $14 mil Obama siphoned to Rezko, or the money Rezko helped Obama put down on his new mansion? Where are their front page stories about Biden's son bilking millions through MBNA or whatever that Delaware credit card company is that he works for? Ed got all offended when Fox said the "VP ball was in McCain's Court" while the others were just regurgitating what the AP put out... Fox used to be more conservatively biased but lately they're the only network that treated Hillary fairly (a fact with Fast Eddy Rendell even himself conceded during the DNC last week). MSNBC makes Fox look like the epitome of journalistic objectivity this year. And the NYT's biases are long a matter of demonstrable fact, not speculation. And another example from CNN's Anderson Cooper last night: --- COOPER: And, Senator Obama, my final question - your - some of your Republican critics have said you don't have the experience to handle a situation like this. They in fact have said that Governor Palin has more executive experience, as mayor of a small town and as governor of a big state of Alaska. What's your response? OBAMA: Well, you know, my understanding is, is that Governor Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We have got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So, I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years. And, certainly, in terms of the legislation that I passed just dealing with this issue post-Katrina of how we handle emergency management, the fact that many of my recommendations were adopted and are being put in place as we speak, I think, indicates the degree to which we can provide the kinds of support and good service that the American people expect. --- I know it's convenient to forget this, and Cooper, being the good journalist he is, naturally forgot to correct him for de-emphasizing it so, uh, not subtley: but she's not mayor of Wassila anymore she's Governor of Alaska. Just for the record, Alaska's FY2008 operating budget is $11.2 billion, and the state employs approximately 15,000 people. Those certainly aren't huge numbers in federal terms, but they're a good bit bigger than the Obama campaign. Cooper knows this stuff, but did not correct him, or put the emphasis back on her current work experience. Now they're saying how his running of his campaign proves his executive leadership. Well, when it's all you got I guess you got to run with it. :| - Bob > HW _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
