Reporter's Notebook: Seeing How The Other Half Lives (Obama's Plane is Dirty and Smells Bad)
CBS NEWS ^ | Oct 7, 2008 | Dean Reynolds

NASHVILLE, TENN.) - After most of the previous 12 months covering Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency, it was interesting, instructive and, well, relaxing to follow John McCain for the last few days. The differences between the two are striking.

Obama is the big time orator, McCain is the guy who struggles with a teleprompter or even note cards strategically placed nearby. Obama's crowds are larger, more enthusiastic. McCain's events are smaller, but to my eye, better choreographed. And now with the addition of Sarah Palin to some of his events, McCain can boast of crowds that match Obama's in energy.

There is an urgency to the McCain campaign now that I don't think was there before. Due to the fact that he is running second, no doubt, but it may also be because McCain has a finishing kick. Whatever the case, he is sharper on the stump than he was before. (Though I would suspect a candidate running behind would want to schedule two or three appearances per day, instead of the one McCain usually does.)

It is true that McCain enjoys taking questions from the audience in town hall-style settings. That doesn't mean he is the master of that kind of forum, it just means he's good at it. He likes to converse with voters. Obama does it well too, but seldom achieves that intangible bond with the people that all politicians crave -- or fake.

Behind the scenes, where the public is not allowed, there are other differences.

His plane is probably in the process of being repod by the lender..so why keep it clean?
Rats are dirty animals..they have no civic responsibility to clean up their own messes.

Obama’s buddy, Hugo Chavez would say it this way. “There’s a sulfur smell up here.”

The reporter didn’t notice the smell before since his nose was stuck in Barry’s butt.

Just like the Rezko Housing projects in Chicago. Do a Google of “Grove Park” This is an Failed Obama Housing on the south side of Chicago.

The Grove Park project is less the six years old and is ready to be condemed.

Thank you Barack Hussien Obama or just BO for political corectness.

Even if it's true, they are only hurting themselves by dissing audiences that run in the tens of millions every night.

Since the network folks are nearly orgasmic about Obama, how has he hurt himself?

Go figure. Go figure, indeed.

I can see this happening. I read a book once where the WH staff told about how nice it was to work for the Bushs’ because they treated the staff with respect and the Clintons had treated them disrespectful. They said Bill Clinton would shove them out of the way in hallways, etc. They said Hillary was just plain mean and they were afraid of her.
