About Barack Obama
Open Letter to Barack....
You know what, Obama? Way too jovial. Way too casual. Way too calm.
Why does that matter?
Well, you make yourself a target that way. Simple schoolyard math, sir: if you don't bloody someone's nose in public (last two words are key) when they pick on you, all the "tough" guys are gonna come after you.
And keep coming after you.
As Bob Cesca calls them, "the very serious media," has a big problem. You are a vastly superior candidate at a time when most sentiment is leaning in your direction anyway. But a landslide victory isn't the story they want to cover. The consolidated ownership of media wants a different story - a story that will consequently help their ratings, sell advertising, while improving their odds of maintaining a very supportive FCC.
That story is that there are two solid candidates waging a tight, tough, close campaign.
To do that, they need to help Mr. Mccain directly. This is one of the latest examples, where CBS edited out stupid comments in order to help him out. They show all the "good" sides and then harp on your "bad."
The second course of action is for them to keep alive through repetition, every attack that the mccain camp asserts against you. This is why you've gotten the same stupid question about the same stupid, non-existent "issue" every time you sit in front of these cackling media jackasses (i.e. "reporters"). Answering it with dignity and respect, gives the question and the cackling media jackasses who spit them out, dignity and respect.
These clowns aren't doing a journalist's job - they are sellout shills. They do NOT deserve - have not earned - a shred of dignity and respect for what they are doing when it comes to serving up the mccain talking points. OK?!?!
They aren't reporting, they're building a big-picture story line for their conglomerate's edification. It's one thing to be polite and considerate. It's another to needlessly subject yourself to baseless attack (you do remember the last 24 years of presidential election results, don't you?).
If you can't see that, you're more naive than people assert. If you don't do anything about it - like bloody someone's nose (not literally, sir) in public, then you are a fool.
