Full Version: Obama and the Media

I agree with Randi about how the media is picking on Obama by saying " flip flopping" "moving to the middle" but I doubt the Obama camp will complain about it. It gets worse when the media gets blamed. Look at the Clintons, when Bill got into arguments with reporters the media went after him brutally.

They won't complain because it's what Obama is doing. Obama NEVER talked like this during the primary. His position on Iraq, we're getting out regardless of what the Generals on the ground said. He NEVER talked about going to Iraq and listening to the Generals. He's a smart man, why the hell didn't he think about this doing the primary? Because he knew the left didn't want to hear it. FISA, how many times have I read on this site that Obama taught constitutional law? Well doesn't seem like a law professor to me. I'll ask you this, what would Obama position be on FISA if it had come up during the primary? I'll tell you what I think Obama would have done. Obama would have been a NO SHOW on the vote and then he would have bashed anyone who did show up to vote. Now he had to go on the record and look what the Law Professor did. Same with the war funding votes. Obama had to go on the record and he voted like a Washington Insider. You're watching Obama morph into what you hated soooooooooo much during the primary, HRC. smile.gif

There are those of us who knew Obama and Hillary were nearly identical, politically, from the very beginning, including just about every single media political observer.

This isnt news to me and shouldnt be to anyone else.

Yep. We all knew Obama was not progressive but we live in a 2 party system so he is our choice.

I've been watching the media, not Fox though. What I've noticed is Obama supporters questioning him, and I've seen McCain getting the good old war hero press. We must not forget that the mainstream media is part of the problem here. They represent big business and growing monopolies, they want the GOP to win.
here's my latest cartoon on who supports McCain...

I will agree with you when he lies about virtually everything and tells us he got shot at.
