If Barack Obama doesn’t win enough electoral votes Nov. 4, it won’t be for lack of trying — on the part of the mainstream news media, that is. The reporting about the Democratic Party presidential nominee has become so biased, in fact, that I can only conclude they’ve implemented a new set of rules, something that might best be labeled “Affirmative Action Journalism.”
In much the same manner as ordinary Affirmative Action advocates equal opportunities, Affirmative Action Journalism promotes opportunities in…
- EDUCATION: AAJ promotes Obama’s idea of educating the public in a manner that ensures voters do not learn too many details about him other than the fact that he promises “hope” and “change”; and
- HOUSING: AAJ promotes Obama’s access to housing in the form of federally-funded living accommodations at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (i.e., the White House).

Yup, it’s the mainstream media. It’s not Sarah Palin’s inability to answer the simple question, what periodicals she reads. You betcha it’s the mainstream media, not the finicial crisis which occurred under a Republican Administration. It’s definitely the media, not McCain saying that he doesn’t understand the economy earlier this year. It must be the media.
Your attempt to tie Obama’s Presidency to racial hot button issues, is your contigency plan to discredit his election (if he is elected). I find that disgusting.
My question for you is, if George Bush was prepared to be President in 2001, why not Obama in 2009?
Its seems to me that you are not able to acknowledge that someone with dark skin can actually, legitimately, be elected President. That’s a shame because that is what makes our Country great! Remember “We hold these truths to be self evident”

Theo — Gray is the only color I’m concerned with when it comes to Barack Obama. That’s the color of brain matter, and it appears Obama has a distinct shortage of it, regardless of the color of his skin.

Right, Obama was Havard Law Review Editor, Chicago Law Professor, and he has gray matter.
McCain Graduates Naval Academy at the bottom of his class, and he’s qualified.
Palin bounces around 5 different Undergrad institutes before getting her degree and she’s qualified.
Whatever helps you to sleep at night Bob!
Pick your battles careful, saying Obama isn’t intelligent enough is a losing battle.

Theo — Admit it now or admit it later. Your arguments are spurious at best. Uhhbama is an empty suit!

Saying it doesn’t make it so….

Theo — What? That’s surprising coming from you, since Obama’s entire campaign is built on that premise, first espoused by Joseph Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Sure, that’s what Barack’s entire campaign has been built on. You should spend more time espousing the great ideals of the Republican party and less on the low brow commentary. I like your attempt to link him to Hitler. Great.

How you think when the economic crisis will end? I wish to make statistics of independent opinions!
