I blame the media...

Postby FatTony on July 8th, 2008, 3:44 pm

So...we removed 550 metric tons of yellow cake uranium from Iraq to Canada.

This is the stuff that was NEVER supposed to be in Iraq in the first place.

So how come it's not reported? :evil:

You would think that the "main stream media" would be getting the message. Fox News is stomping CNN, MSNBC and CNBC in the ratings, Rush Limbaugh just inked an eight year deal worth at least $400,000,000, even the Washington Post just replaced it's editor with a guy from the WSJ.

Even an industry riddled by bias and agenda driven is still a business, and must make a profit. Newspapers and television news programs are laying people off for the first time in my memory. They blame the Internet, but polls show that trust in the media is at an all time low among consumers.

Will the Post lead the way to a more "fair and balanced" newsroom? Will they begin reporting the GOOD news out of Iraq? Giving BOTH sides of the "global warming" argument?

Remains to be seen.

And don't forget that the ultimate bastion of liberal business thought, STARBUCKS, is closing 600 stores and laying off 12,000 employees.

I guess the "living wage" and "health benefits for part time employees" deal just isn't working out for them in slowing economy.

As Dr. Williams always says, "Working for 5 dollars an hour is better than not working for 9!"

My fear are the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers...they refuse to concede this clown is a sham and what in the hell is the McCain camp up to? NOTHING! As Hannity says..."Never underestimate a Repulicans ability to lose an election"!

We are in deep crapola and it's getting deeper...nothing sticks to Obama and he's the media darling...while McCain seems to be having an Alzheimer's moment at the worst opportune time :evil:

Do you think perhaps that people are also looking at the fact that a $5 cup of coffee isn't budget friendly either?????

Duhhhh! :roll: You can buy the FT size urn for around $7-8 and get multiple pots full.\

IMHO McCain is trying to play it cagey. He knows that any criticism of Obama, no matter how justly deserved, is going to be turned into an attack on Obama's race. He DOES have to play a careful game, but I would like to see him be a little more aggressive.

O has remained staunchly against drilling in the U.S. even though most Americans now favor it. McCain needs to blast him AND the rest of the dems on this. I sent an unsolicited email to the RNC suggesting that they tie all of the house and senate candidates together by having them sign a new Contract With America stating that they would push for domestic oil production when elected.

O appears to be totally out in left field regarding the progress being made in Iraq. Mac needs to point out again that it was his surge proposal that allowed this progress, while O would have pulled out in defeat months ago.

Lastly, I would like Mac to attack O's judgement, or lack there of. O has associated himself with a racist preacher that he praised in his book, a real estate developer now in the pen for influence peddling, a sixties radical bomb thrower that has publicly stated he didn't bomb enough buildings and he wouldn't rule out further bombings in the future.

Mac may have an October surprise in the wings, or he may be letting the people get to know this Obama flake a little better in the hopes that they won't like what they see. In either case, the media is not doing its job of vetting the candidate.

Obama is a leftist as we all know. What Mac may be counting on is that this will evidence itself over time and become more apparent as we approach November.

Risky strategy especially now.

What Obama needs between now and November is several cases of foot in the mouth disease.

What Mac needs is an event of national crisis.
