The media chose to expose Joe while ignoring Obama’s BS.....

we have just had 2 years of media exploring these candidates....let’s see now, Obama went to Harvard, was the President of his class and chose to work for the poor people of Chicago, not some high priced job on Wall Street...learning just how poor people live and survive, he met many others who had their own reputations just like everyone else. He probably got a lot more than he bargained for, with the economy crashing under Bush’s control but his dedication to public service enabled him to withstand all this criticism and name calling and he had WON. He has conducted himself in a mature manner, and I feel will represent our country in a dignified manner and be one of our finest leaders because he doesn’t represent Hallibrand or Big Oil ...the winners in the Bush administration....Bush fooled me too as I voted twice for this disaster myself...live and learn

For two years the media explored Obama while doing their best to ignore just how far outside of the mainstream he is. They helped him paint his views as center left while his record showed nothing to support that claim. They promoted him rather than exposing him to public scrutiny.

He represents a collectivist mindset that wants to "save" the poor and oppressed through government largess born on the backs of the "rich". Collectivism that seeks to extract wealth from the few to give to the many will never have enough wealth to spread.

Barack is a neophyte who will quickly give in to the power of the radicals who were his early supporters. If he resists the radicals he will be viciously attacked and the media will not help fend them off. They want change and they will insist on getting it even if it doesn’t poll well with the masses. Clinton was a slave to the polls but Barack is a slave to the radicals.

The economic crisis seems just a little too manufactured. Clinton’s economy was fed largely by the tech bubble that crashed in his last year in office. Bush’s economy was fed by a housing bubble and loose credit that crashed just a few months ago. We will recover from this just as we recovered from other “worst economies since the Great Depression”. The last thing this country needs now is to return to the failed policies that made the Depression so long. I pray that Obama knows enough about the past not to repeat it but I fear the radicals behind him would welcome a greater crisis to achieve greater control.
