...Obama appears to possess the tools to confront our myriad and daunting problems. He's thoughtful and analytical. He has met his opponents' attacks with calm and reasoned responses. Viewers of the debates saw a poised, well-prepared plausible president with well-articulated positions on the bread-and-butter issues that poll after poll indicate are the true concerns of voters. While Arizona Sen. John McCain and his running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have struck an increasingly personal and negative tone in their speeches, Obama has continued to talk about issues of substance.
It is true that Obama has served less than a term in the U.S. Senate and that his previous elective experience is confined to the Illinois Legislature. However, during that public service and his previous role as a community organizer on the streets of Chicago, he has developed an appreciation and understanding of the real-life concerns of middle- and low-income Americans.
On the Iraq war, Obama was an early voice of opposition to the initial invasion and his plan for a phased withdrawal of combat forces has been embraced by American and Iraqi policymakers. His partner on the ticket, Biden, is one of the leading foreign policy experts in Congress. They pledge to rebuild America's diminished standing in the world and restore our reputation as the leading defender of democracy and human rights...

The Comical partnered with Ken Lay to achieve the slim margin of victory on the stadium referendum.
Then the Houston Chronicle expressed “shock” when the Enron debacle was exposed under their very noses.
“Where were these whiny bass turds when Camp Obama was crucifying Trig Palin for have Down’s and Bristol Palin for being pregnant?”
The Houston Chronicle was silent.
Just another branch office of Pravda.

Call them up anyway and say "thanks for the reminder as to why I don't subscribe to your rag."
I canceled my subscription over a decade ago over the political bias. I told them so as I canceled. I still got "resubscription" calls. I told them no that their paper had a liberal bias (and that was very apparent in the local coverage even if they were endorsing Bush). One time when I told the caller this, I hung up and he (or she I don't recall) called back and stayed silent (I could hear the phone banks in the background that I had just heard).
In other words, McCain made a choice to place a true conservative on his ticket and that pissed the Houston Communist off.
Kay Bailey would make a great choice for VP... on Hillary's ticket!!! But that hag is no conservative.
Add me to that ping list would ya..
I was unaware there was a Houston PL.
This is also appropriate:
The Houston Chronicle NEEDS a messiah and they’re hoping this is him. That paper is a totally liberal rag. I don’t understand that. If you look at the map Harris County is red with a little blue in the middle. You’d think they’d play to the masses but they don’t.
They point out “his well thought out positions” but don’t say they’re all lies.
I’ve for the past 30 years or so chosen to support the candidate that the Comical decided not to endorse. The Comical usually picks the most left wingnut canddate that they can find so I usually just choose the opponent in those races to vote for.
..or
If only MeCain would have only picked a RINO, pro-abortionist, pro-Comprehensive Immigration reform Republican, then the Chron would have had a difficult choice.
The only experice Obamah has is giving away other people’s money!
Ahhh, yes, the low-angle Steven Spielberg shot...
Makes you feel like you must look up at the deity from a position of subserviant peasantry...
The comical isn’t worth much more than what my parrot craps on now days. They do have a good TV Guide though.
Houston, we have a problem!
