"So there they were on CNN's "The Situation Room," talking about a new ad for John McCain, an ad "going after the mainstream media, which he says is in love with Barack Obama..."

"CNN interrupts a discussion of whether the media are in the tank for Obama for a news bulletin that Obama's plane has landed safely..."

[Overtaxed]

...but what about the arugula?!

[Melinda]

“.... lands safely”. For a moment there, I couldn’t breathe.

[N. Theknow]

In other stories, it has been reported that Obama has done several ‘Messianic’ miracles. He has turned wine into urine, walked on a boat in the water, and fed his wife and two children with two loaves of bread and a nice, pan seared Halibut. There is even a rumor that he went to bed, and after three days, rose from the bed.

What about making the blind hear, the deaf walk and the dead vote?

Bill and Hillary's crew did not have enough time to accomplish their mission. I guess they did not know the osama obama crowd would have more security than Ron Brown did. Do not worry, they will try again.

This is really silly.

However, while at a grocery check-out I notice a tabloid with the 'breaking news' banner declaring an attempt on Obambi's life - his plane (recall that it took a month to refurbish it and remove the American flag from the tail of the plane) had been sabotaged.

I didn't read anything about it here on FR so I figured it was nothing - it was a tabloid, after all

But maybe the press WAS aware of it and chose not to report it, and so they know there is a reason to be relieved that his plane landed safely.

Just a thought...

I’m holding out till he raises someone from the dead

[Kimmers]

I honestly didn't think I could dislike or not trust anyone more than Hillary as a presidential candidate but Obama has taken the lead.....

[Cheryllynn]

Gaaaadz the world has gone mad!!

[Truth is a Weapon]

This crap can’t be playing well with your average voter. American elect their leader. We don’t anoint or coronate them.

I predict the more the media does this crap the more voters get turned off.

[Doohickey]

So...was it a single tone, multi-note or an SBD? You need to get with the program here!

I predict the more the media does this crap the more voters get turned off.

There may be an interesting twist coming. There is one storyline that the media seems to like more than the 'underdog' template, that is the 'fallen hero' template. They love to build people up just to bring them down.

I was chuggin’ some beers with my neighbor yesterday. His wife’s a super lib. I worked up a good beer belch, and burped out his name, “Borat Obammy.” Booger woulda been proud! Neighbor’s wife was pi$$ed!

[dforest]

I was hoping otherwise.

[Cheryllynn]

I guess we’re watching every pot this man pisses in.

[AlphaOneAlpha]

“We interrupt this show to announce that Barack Obama just farted. The fart lasted 2.44482 seconds.... and smelled like sweet lavendar...”

Yes Sireee:
Change they can believe in.

[GoldMan]

"Good grief- they really don’t see it, do they..."

No, they do not see it. It is like a mental illness.

[agere_contra]

LOL! Excellent.

[TomGuy]

More plane problems for Obama?

His plane had to make an emergency landing in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago.

hmmmmm
