Obamamania
« on: January 06, 2007, 10:31:28 AM »
I'm not usually one to suggest conspiracy theories, but this one seems to have a bit too much evidence behind it.

We all know that the Junk-News-Media only runs positive stories on Democrat candidates during election cycles, but it's just painfully obvious what they're doing with Barrack Obama. For all I know Obama is a perfectly nice lefty to meet in person, but they're just shoving him down everyone's throat because he has no national recognition. The JNM is taking any and every opportunity to do name-dropping. This guy is a junior senator who has thus far done nothing that warrants any attention. (I bet some Illinois voters here would probably say that he probably hasn't even asked or attempted to represent their political views.)

In short, any news story about this guy isn't useful information, and any opportunity that presents itself is a contrivance of the media. However, it takes CNN to sink low enough to purposely misspell bin Laden's name in a screen graphic that was visible for all of a few seconds, then use this as a vehicle for mentioning Obama's name a half-dozen times and pointing out he's a senator from Illinois. ::)

Actually, there isn't a ::) big enough to express my views on the junk news purveyors.

EDIT: It was bin Laden's name, not Obama's.

I completely agree. This guy has done nothing for us in Illinois,  sponsored any legislation or done anything else to deserve all this attention. Apparently he is qualified to be president because he's not white.

I didn't vote for him, and yes, the most significant use of his time since sworn in seems to be campaigning for a new job.  If you want to get even more depressed - look at what we have for the other senator.

Osama Obama is liberal to a fault, against the war from the start and has the gift of gab.  Ergo, he is the perfect media candidate.  The only thing that would make him even better is if he were a she.

If he is smart, he will hire some real good bodyguards.  This guy is going to be a thorn in Billary's saddle--not a healthy place to be.

wicked witch of the east, I like that! ;D Obama is a very articulate speaker in saying what the people want to hear, kind of like our michigan govenor, but when it comes down to making things [good things] happen they kinda fall short IMO.    T.
