I think even the media starting to get a little queasy from the 24/7/365 overdose of syrupy sweet Obama-rama.

[Unkosified]

Trying to look objective now.

Exactly. The polls are tightening and they doing a little CYA.

[machogirl]

Some of them, like Chrissy, can’t seem to get enough.

I didn’t watch it. Rush told us not to, that we would just get mad. He said he would watch it and report on it tomorrow. I did see only a snip during a news report,however, and he looked like he was trying to set himself up in a Camp David kind of Oval Office with the desk and credenza with pictures and the windows with mullions..just like during his nomination speech when he tried to have the pillars and windows hint at the Rose Garden.
That gut is such an arrogrant putz...( can I say that? )

The author needs to get someone else to start his cars for a while.

[ladyvet]

Do not be fooled. The media knows that the polls they skewed can't be held under wraps anymore. They are working on CYA. Once the election is over they will come back with a vengeance!!!

[Doofer]

I don’t think this article will make it on the front page of my newspaper tomorrow, or for that matter, in any part of tomorrow’s newspaper.

Don't know about your newspaper but I have Yahoo as my homepage and this story is listed prominently which is surprising.

[annieokie]

About time, but what I think has happened is that the networks have taken BIG $$$$$ from Obama, and this infomercial was the most costly, bigger $$$ to them.

They were simply waiting for this night and now that they have reaped the BIG BUCKs from him, they feel safe to throw him under the bus, nothing to lose at this point, and they are trying to save the souls. Just my thinking.

AP faking credibility, after a year of vomitous deceit.

Go to hell, AP.

[21twelve]

“That guy is such an arrogrant putz...( can I say that? )”

I’m never sure - but if you’re telling the truth, it isn’t slander - correct?

[FormerACLUmember]

Trying to look objective now. They did all the damage earlier by sheltering obama. Throwing a bone.

Precisely.

[Windflier]

This is a miracle...

It's a sucker fake to the right, designed to establish their future arguments of objectivity for after the election.

Don't buy it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Obama should have stuck with standing out in the rain with his blue jeans on. (If he still has them).

[celtic gal]

The bit I saw on the news report showed him saying “ if you make under 200K” So it has gone from the original 300K way back when to 250 until a couple days ago and now it is 200K and per Biden 150K. Where is the MSM on this??? They are letting it slide and the swarms of swooners are not hearing this.They are hypnotized by that method by DR. Erikson ( or whatever his name is) that Rush was talking about today.

[NoRedTape]

It's a TRAP! lol.

AP are such babies with posting rules. But, hey when it's good, it's good.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Looks that way to me, Campbell Brown chastising them twice and Bob Kerrey writing an op-ed that he went back on his word re: campaign funds in the NY Post.... I sense a slight shifting.

[devere]

The MSM has decided Obama is going to lose, and they are now scrambling to resestablish their credibility with the public.

But never forget, their first loyalty was to communism, and they will do their best to enslave us in the future.

[Henchster]

His vow to save money by "eliminating programs that don't work" masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are - beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Why is he waiting to be President? Then he CAN'T eliminate programs, because the President doesn't have a line item veto, and while he can SUBMIT a budget, only Congress can pass the spending legislation.

If Obama really wanted to, he could propose a bill tomorrow. But he can't, because it's all BS. (Barack-Speak)

It doesn’t look like an official ap page, but I googled Calvin Woodward, and it appears he is an AP employee/reporter/analyst/columnist.

[The South Texan]

The Assocaited Pravda did their token hit piece on Obama so they can say they’e been “fair” to both sides. Now they can go back to bashing Palin till next Tuesday.
