“You didn’t know this going into this election? This hasn’t been the case for the last 48 years?”

I see, so we are just supposed to sit back and eat this #!@$ with a spoon. good plan

“Look, Gibson was tough last night and maybe even a little over the top on a couple of questions but he could have really gotten into the gutter (left wing blog crap) and he didn’t do a lot of that.”

I hold our national press to a higher level than left wing blogs. So I’m not satisfied when he manages to stay out of the ‘gutter’.

So I take it you are a fan of the fairness doctrine?

Then maybe they can start actually asking Obama questions other than, “How did it feel to grow up without a father?”

LOL BTTT. There is a tough question with only one right answer.

I think a lot of women, who have experienced condescension by self-important males, will not take kindly to this.

I'm surprised the jerk didn't ask her to spell potato.

Why am I not surprised that is your response.

I’m referring to the consumer of the news services pushing back on the piss poor quality the ‘for-profit’ company paying Gibson is delivering. I’m talking about journalism and not propaganda. I’m talking about the people of this great country pushing back when they don’t like something being shoved down our throats.

But I guess you prefer to take whatever they decide to give you and be happy. Go for it.

Did UPI jump off the Obama boat?

It's an opinion piece. They have run conservative columns for a while, actually.

I don’t. I am sure it will begin to dribble forth later on today unless there is some perceived “gotcha” by ABC then it will be in breaking news everywhere!

Brit is almost as bad... he loves his fellow liberal TV punks more than America.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Obama asked these same questions in this same format.

Instead we get “why did you fall in love with Michelle.?”

I wanted to leap through the screen and strangle the dude! It was a slight that EVERY woman has experienced working in a male dominated field. The experience makes your blood boil!

My wife was screaming at the TV last night when my son and I came in from fishing. The experience appears to be universal.

What do you get when you put lip-stick on a flying pig? Charley Gibson in drag with wings chasing after B.H.O. to kiss his A$$ and say, “didn’t I do a good job, didn’t I, didn’t I. There’s just one problem, Charley... I don’t think B.H.O. wants to have anything to do with pigs.

Another one in a male dominated field here (with an abusive ex-husband)! I hate that condescending attitude and the passive aggressive (What? I didn't do anything to her) crap. We're not stupid.

Well they’re not going to so do we excuse our side from answering hard questions?

Unfortunately, no. We roll up our sleeves and egage the enemy. We may lose in the end, but I'd rather lose fighting than to sit and whine about our treatment.

ABC is taking this one in the shorts. They even had to pull their comments on the article as they over 1,000 comments almost all were negative.

Why hold them to a higher standard since they repeat almost everything from the left wing wackos?

The drive byes "suck it".

What the voters are watching is for an over-all impression of the candidate as a positive or negative person. Except for partisan leftists, Sarah Palin comes across as “one of us” (regular people) not “one of them,” (the elites in media). The American people can understand a set-up and a double standard when they see it.

I suppose she would have done better to say "Charlie, as I'm sure you know, the "Bush Doctrine" is an inexact term that reference a lot of different policies of the current President, some of which McCain and I support, and others we do not. Why don't you tell me which part you'd like me to comment on more specifically?

On another answer that is easy to come with a day later, I thought of a cool answer she could have given to the "are you ready to be President on day one. I presume that there is at least one former President who has said "you know, no man is really ready to lead the world's only superpower until they've done it", she could find that quote, and say : You know, Charlie, President X once said that no man is ever really ready to be President until they are already in the office. Of course, "I am no man".

She’s running for one of the most powerful offices in this nation, I WANT her answering the hard questions.

Would you like to see the same set of questions asked of Obama? Except of course substituting the Clinton Doctrine for the Bush Doctrine?
