The ultimate objective in journalism is to deliver fresh information to the audience, to break heretofore unshattered stories.
Last night, ABC's Terry Moran did exactly that.
To get there, you must first wade through an extraordinary amount of Moran-Goo, as he slathers it liberally all over his reporting of the official nomination vote. But this is hardly groundbreaking. What comes next is.
The excited media throngs have already long hailed Illinois Senator Barack Obama for being the first bi-racial candidate ever to secure a major Party's nomination for President.
Moran yesterday added to the historic aura surrounding the Senator's parents.
To quote Mr. Moran, Sen. Obama is "the son of a black man from Kenya, and a white man from Kansas."
To again quote Mr. Moran, this "is a moment for the history books." This certainly is.
To parahrase Mr. Moran soon thereafter, "Oops."

Great Clip

Generally speaking, character comes from good upbringing
August 28, 2008 - 18:47 ET by garyganuAlthough Barack Obama is highly educated and intelligent, I believe that he lacks good values, character, and good judgment. Barack Obama is the product of an alcoholic polygamist father who abandoned his family when Barack was only two years old. Barack's mother left him to chase her dreams, traveling the world while Barack attended high school, leaving him with only his grandmother to look after him. Of course it is only a stereotype and generalization but children who are abandoned by their parents often have resentments which lead to lifelong psychological and spiritual problems.

And in many cases..involvement in radical politics....if you down the list of historical radicals of all persuasions you will find predominately VERY VERY unhappy childhoods because of parental abandonment and if not abandonment then very poor parenting ....as a scion of VERY RED family..I saw this operate first hand across several generations...

August 28, 2008 - 19:10 ET by Cape Conservativebring up his "raised by a Kansas woman" story again - Stanley Ann Dunham couldn't wait to get away from the American Midwest and any midwestern "values" she might have been exposed to in her first 18 years were very soon put behind her. Not so, sir.
Guess Terry Moran was just confused by two men's names as Barack's parents ;-) Any man named Stanley who couldn't get over having a daughter instead of a son, thereby naming his daughter after himself, must have been a case in himself!
What "roots" to claim as one's own...no wonder he traveled to Kenya to find some new roots.
Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetero, has absolutely no understanding of growing up in America, white, black, green or purple! And it shows in his demeanor!
Barack's mother's first name
August 28, 2008 - 19:03 ET by ArminiusBarack's grandfather wanted a boy, so when a daughter was born, she was named Stanley Ann. True story. Moran probably saw "Stanley" and assumed it was a man.
Democrats have to be as stupid as they are.....
August 28, 2008 - 20:59 ET by tbbaxterI'd like Obama and Biden to explain to me how they can stand there in their speeches and point with pride to the fact that, despite hardscrabble childhoods, they were able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make a success of themselves. BUT, all of those other Americans who are experiencing hard times must depend on the Democrats to save them through government programs and handouts, paid for by those hard-working Americans who HAVE made successes of their lives. What unbelievable bul----!! The true spirit of America is self-reliance, and God bless those who practice it every day. The Democrats are shysters, praying on the weak and lazy. For that alone, they should never see the inside of the Capitol Building let alone the White House.
To ensure that they NEVER

watching too much GMA?
August 28, 2008 - 21:36 ET by mom_roxRemember, his network's morning show, GMA, spent several months reporting the "pregnant man" story.

EAR! EAR!
August 29, 2008 - 00:55 ET by tbbaxterI hear both of his male parents were lookers, although I also heard a rumor that one of them was actually a jackal. I wonder which one he got the big ears from?
Ear! Ear!

August 29, 2008 - 01:07 ET by Cool ArrowIt probably caused some confusion when little Barack asked "Daddies, where did I come from"?
Of course it explains a lot too. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
