Barack Obama is so thoughtful, intelligent and honest that the mainstream media does not know what to do with him.
That's because the talking heads are so accustomed to politicians who talk down to them and the electorate and communicate in superficial sound bites.
So they take a snippet out of a speech, parse it and run with it and label it "stunning" instead of seeing it in its context.
He was expressing compassion and understanding for people who are struggling to survive in economically depressed parts of Pennsylvania, and asking his audience to do the same.
How dare a presidential candidate speak to us as if we are fully formed adults capable of critical thought instead of flat-out lying to us repeatedly and then claiming to have "misspoke!"
It's truly sad and embarrasing to witness what passes for journalism and the level of public discourse in our nation.

Well, I didn't expect much from the Clinton News Network.

It's galling to have Hillary, obviously aware of some people's feelings that Obama is a snob (he isn't), and now translate that into "...he's looking down on you..." (the people).

By lying, Hillary Clinton has shown such contempt to the people of this nation that I consider her an emotional terrorist. If that isn't "looking down" on us, I don't know what is.

One of the most difficult things I ever learned was to listen to people whose opinions were different from my own. I'd much rather be a part of the choir that's preached to. But that doesn't help me understand "the other side."

I know wars and everything else, are only a matter of opinion, but it's certainly hard to see people believing someone like Hillary or her ilk without further investigation.

They don't take time to go to Obama's website and read his positions on various issues but instead, simply believe Hillary, even after it's been proven that she's a liar -- always was.

It can lead a voter in the wrong direction and take away his/her ability to make a well-informed decision.

Where I come from, that's called Contempt Prior to Investigation.

Is there one voice of reason? Personally, I do not tune into CNN any longer. I've noticed anything that build Obama up.. is short lived. If there's something that shed a bad light on him... CNN never let him live it down. Even if Hillary has bad news in her camp, they feel compelled to Find fault in Obama. Hillary has her own never ending list of flaws.

Hillary said:
"I'll fight for every single job in America – and create millions of new, high paying jobs
that can't be outsourced. President Bush has stood by and watched as we've lost 3
million manufacturing jobs. And he's done nothing about the loopholes in our tax code
that actually encourage companies to ship jobs overseas."

Clinton campaign was supposedly "outraged" by NAFTA... but this wasn't her story when her husband, during his administration, pushed this calamity through. She praised NAFTA saying it was good for New York and America. Did Clinton Explicitly Support NAFTA

While most think the constant patterns of lying is insignificant, it speaks clearly to the candidate's credibility or the lack thereof. Of course we are expected to forget... The lies about Bosnia (sniper fire) that husband Bill brought back. She embellished the hospital story in which both mother and infant dies. She distanced herself from Mark Penn who was actively pushing to expand NAFTA into South America, but she state that she is opposed to it. Now he's demoted, not fired. Clinton is insulting the American's intellegence. Honest? or Dishonest? You make the call!
