Barry Hussein is not concerned with understanding issues. He just wants to get elected. So he throws out one liners and talking points and depends on the lib media to press home the point, while protecting him from reprisals for his monumental ignorance. Nice work if you can get it and leftist dems get it with every network but Fox (usually) and with most newspapers.
The problem for Barry O is that McCain and his team are very well schooled on media and how to work it. When the NY Times hit piece that alleged McCain had in improper relationship (read between the lines) with a lobbyist his crew went on the offensive and managed to make the Times look bad (I know, they do a good job on their own) even in some liberal circles.
McCain has a pretty good team working for him.
