Great job, as usual, for Tim.

Who was that reporterette???? Holy Cow! I marvel at Tim's ability to keep a straight face!

I can't believe she actually said (paraphrasing) Well, the media's pretty liberal, and Obama's liberal; do you expect them to be rough on him? as it that were a perfectly legitimate explanation!

That justifies their powder-puff treatment of him? That they agree with him???? I would have snapped and said, Of course!! I expect them to do their job!!

And at the end, when while he was talking, she could be heard going "hmm" and "well.." as if trying to interrupt him. Then she started "packing up", straightening and blocking her papers, as if to say We're done here...OK, whatever.....

Talk about rude and dismissive...Tim deserves a medal for maintaining his good manners!

... there's a lot of people who are not conservatives who really trust the media to give them the straight scoop.  There's lots of moderate and independent voters that watch these newscasts, and they ought to try to do a better job of just telling people who this man is.

Translation: we don't owe the conservatives a damn thing when it comes to honesty, because they're just inbreds anyway, and we don't care if they watch our shows or not.  But our own people, the good people, we shouldn't keep them in the dark, because they actually have the power of cognition, so we should let them use it a little bit... as long as they don't abuse it!

The Wall Street Journal Opinion section had an excellent commentary that highlighted not only Senator Obama's reckless economic rhetoric, but also his propensity to "say anything to get elected."  Change?  Sounds to me like the same old story with a shiny new face.

Here are the first two paragraphs:

Barack Obama says he'll revive the art of American diplomacy, which sounds nice. We're not sure how this promise squares, however, with the diplomatic incident his campaign has caused in Canada, of all unlikely places.

Last week, Canada's CTV television network reported on a leaked memo from a Canadian diplomat casting doubt on Mr. Obama's sincerity. The memo reported that Mr. Obama's chief economic adviser, University of Chicago professor Austan Goolsbee, had told Canadian officials that Mr. Obama's vow to unilaterally withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement was simply campaign rhetoric aimed at Ohio primary voters. This week, Mr. Goolsbee said that's not what he meant at all when he attended a February 8 meeting at Chicago's Canadian consulate. Perhaps something got lost in translation. [emphasis added].  The Wall Street Journal, March 4, 2008 Editorial, Page A16.

I am willing to guess that other mainstream broadcast and print media will pass on taking issue with this obvious display of double speak and rhetoric.  Is there any better example of how Obama orates endless rhetoric and platitudes?  Think the voters in Ohio will feel duped if their candidate of hope were elected and offered nothing but a dream only to be followed by a nightmare?
