The cascade of criticism from the mainstream media, directed at Barack Obama, continues unabated. Reporters are outraged that Obama first committed to taking public funding for the general election, and then changed his mind. And they are further upset that he is outspending John McCain by ratios of four to one, or more.
“Outrageous!” thunders The Washington Post editorial page. “A scandal waiting to happen.”
The latest wretched excess from the Obama campaign, of course, is the Illinois Democrats’ decision to buy a “roadblock” of prime time TV for a speech tonight. “Gross overkill,” fumed The New York Times in an editorial this morning. “It was wrong when Richard Nixon trampled the spirit of campaign laws during the 1972 presidential election and it’s just as wrong, now, as Barack Obama wields his huge checkbook in 2008.”
Indeed, sniping from reporters, commentators, and other thought-leaders has been so profound that many observers smell a backlash against the Obama juggernaut. When Republicans say, “Don’t let Obama buy the election! Don’t let the fat cats have their way!” the chattering class cheered, resolving to share their anti-Obama feelings with the voters.
Then I woke up.

Let me guess, it was a compilation of his campaign speeches.
I didnt watch it...
McCain and Palin MUST NOT STOP the “Obama Tapes” this is a winner....
A preening pity party.
Campbell Brown at CNN actually did come out pretty hard against Obama on the campaign financing today.
CNN has to do one piece a month critical of Obama and run it one time just so they can appear to be fair.
Did he update us on how Toot is doing?
I’m hearing the word CREEPY associated with Obama after the 30 minute commercial.

What was in it?
My boy cook a Jimmy Dean frozen 'tater pack w/ham, scramble the eggs and mix in (as the directions say), as I was warming up a couple of good size hunks of steak from yesterday.
We could be someone's commercial!
burp.....excuse me........
Something tells us we’ll never hear another word about his grandmother.
Where are you hearing “creepy”? Where are you hearing feedback? In your home, on TV?
I agree, add in 70% of people polled thought the media was in the tank for Obama, this tape makes an excellent club, but it would make an even better ad..
I think our local Fox station dissed him. He was scheduled in a 6:00 pm timeslot and ‘The Simpsons’ took his place. Good choice.
It wasn’t on here....whether it’s on delay or whatever....I wanted to see a snippet to see some Greek Columns or some such sh*t.
I wathced it. I need a shower and a pitcher of cheap scotch. Bleh.
any bets on wether or not he gets a poll bounce from this? I didn’t watch it. Figured the half hour was better spent playing my guitar.
I wonder what the ratings will be for this inf0mercial??
MSNBC : Ølberman has Tank Matthews on right after the Pity Party Infomercial,
Matthews is trying to convice us Øbama is a Great Father,
Tank, convince us a Great Father would take his young children to see Reverand Wright year after year, than you may sway a vote, but probably not from Øprah.
