There is one thing that really really irks me. I am sick of the MSM ( MainStream Media) promoting Obama without giving McCain equal time. There are people now who want to enable the fairness doctrine....because of people like Hannity and others some of them are personalities on FOX NEWS. Well I could say the same about MSM. You can tell they are biased as heck.
Look at what NYT tried to do with a submitted McCain Oped piece. They wanted such radical changes that it would change the meaning. That is wrong.. Some blame it on Soros who spens money on causes.
Al Gore is heavily involved in Moveon.org who has done some campainging also unofficially for Obama. Obama put himself in jepardy because they should require everyone to wear them. LOok at what is being said on the trip. It looks more like a campaign stop especially at the attempt in Germany. At least the Germans got the idea.
The love affair of the MSM is unreal. It is like Obama can do no wrong. It is unreal.
Look at how these groups bash the president. Some of them want to waste legislature time and try to impeach bush and ensure Obama wins when nothing is being done legislatively.
If a Democrat gets caught then its nothing wrong but if its a Republican then its horribly wrong. Also what about the guy who had money in his freezer. From what I know it was quite a gossip for awhile in the offices. I knew someone who worked in the office building.
I think a lot more goes on in Demos than anything. Because if Lieberman speaks at the RNC then he looses everything. I find that wrong. I think Lieberman is someone who knows the surge works.
Obama do not want to admit it along with other Dems that it worked. It would take away their thunder.
News Media and Obama

Obama gained a lot of media advantage during his long battle with Clinton, while McCain just kind of stood on the sidelines. He is also a newcomer, virtually unheard of up until a few months ago, and his political statements are usually more newsworthy than "stay on the course".
Yes, there is probably some bias, but it really comes down to Obama being more interesting. Television stations thrive on ratings. Example: a visit to the Middle East is just a little bit more interesting than speaking at an AARP event. His trip is also gaining media attention because he invited the media to accompany him. McCain doesn't really invite the media along with him everywhere.
And McCain's essay was rejected by the New York Times because they asked him to write about his plan for Iraq and he wrote a criticism of Obama's plan instead. They are more than willing to publish his essay if he focuses less on Obama's judgment and more on elaborating on his plan to bring troops home by 2013--something he keeps saying he will do but doesn't say how.

Obama's mideast trip and German trip could be considered as campaigning.
The State Dept recieved its instructions. Obama had to move one of the venues because of what German government said. Also, Obama has turned his trip abroad as a large campaign trip. This is wrong. How do i know this? I get his campaign emails like I did Hillary, McCain, Moveon.org, and others. You shold see the like of bull hockey they put out.
Obama put out in his ezone newsletters showing what he said while outside the USA.

Yes, he did campaign over in Europe and the Middle East. After his official Congressional Delegation stuff was over. They were two separate portions of one trip, funded by two separate resources.
Taxpayers paid for the congressional delegation, which had absolutely nothing to do with his campaign, other than he took time off of his campaign to be a part of that. His campaign dollars paid for him to go to Europe and parts of the Middle East.
Why wouldn't he campaign overseas? American voters live in other countries, as well. Thousands of them. Why shouldn't they be able to go to a rally like their State-side counterparts?
McCain can campaign overseas too, if he wants. And if he invites the media along, like Obama did, he'll get coverage for it as well. Nothing is stopping him.
Alan Colmes is probably a bad person to quote regarding media coverage, but I kind of agree with him:
McCain isn't really running a good campaign. If he was, the media might like him more.

Obama was turned down by the pentegon to visit US troups. I know for a fact that it was reported in the news MSM does the slant. Fox news tries to balance the sides.
