Still, difficult is not impossible.

“I don’t think it is fair to suggest somehow that we have been trying to hide the bone on this.”
Said Barack Obama. And that real estate transaction, it was “a boneheaded move.” No one wants to pay attention to Rezko, and for some reason, Obama's answers all contain the word “bone.” Surely, there's a skeleton somewhere.

Obama has as much legislative experience as Hillary Clinton. If she or her supporters want to play that game, I hope they plan on voting for McCain, the candidate with decades of experience.

The Rezko connection is all innuendo, like your entire argument. Prove that Obama has done something illegal, or give it up.

The 130 votes he voted present for in the state legislature have already been explained. I suspect you're being purposefully dense on that subject.

His wife's pride in America is not an issue. I have yet to be proud of American politics in my life.

He never asked for support for Louis Farrakhan or took money from him. What's the issue there?

Lies and innuendo is all you've got.

Shouldn't McCain also splain himself?

What is it that they are seeing?

Answer.

He is far left. He has no experience. He was in bed with a slum lord. His church has some distrubing qualities. He has ducked 131 votes. His foreign policy consists of inconsistencies. His domestic agenda will cost about 3 trillion a year to implement. His wife said that she finally has reason to be proud of America for the first time and shes in her 40's. His wife is on the board of one of those evil hospitals who cast out the poor and go after deadbeats who cant pay their bills. Louis Farrakhan. Moveon.org. Jesse Jackson Jr. Letters to Canada explaining what he really means about Nafta.

There are tons and tons of unanswered questions about this man and the next 7 weeks the press is going to get bored and start asking him to splain himself.

Hillary has had to splain herself for the last 30 years. Its time He splains himself. If he cannot bear up to the scrutiny of the press I think most reasonable voters will most likely not want him in the White House.

I think it's great that BOTH candidates challenge the media to move on to new topics – we heard a number of candidates earlier on in the cycle do that – Clinton, but others too. I know I was shouting at the screen several times because of wasteful questions.

I don't know- I need sleep. lol

I really have to say I've been disgusted this campaign season with the media. They spent more time focusing on Hillary's “emotional outbursts” than her vision when she was ahead, breathlessly passed along Obama “rumors” when he was ahead and most likely will really beat him down now, only to turn back on Hillary in a couple months if she does OK.

In fact, I'll go as far as saying that when Clinton says that Obama hasn't been vetted like she has, that she doesn't necessarily mean she thinks he is corrupt, but just that the media won't have much in the way of new innuendo to target her.

Jill I think the problem is that you are actually concerned with gathering real information. Personally, I've read a lot about Obama and he always seems willing to answer tough questions. The thing is, most media handling these days is not about what actually happens, but about sensationalism. Obama seems to have decided that whenever he feels like the press is looking more for a soundbite to use against him than information that he will then clam up.

In fact, up to this point he seems to be taking a gamble. If he doesn't play into the machinations of the press then he might because of untrue perceptions, but if he does, then he'll always have to worry about that during a presidency. In the end, I hope he just answers people like you that are looking for real information and trusts the voters — of course Kerry tried that and it didn't work out too well.

What is it that they are seeing?

I've not had a problem when I've wanted access etc. through others but I've read accounts in the MSM of griping, by the MSM.

During the next 7 weeks the real Barak Obama will stand up and when the populace sees what he presents then we are going to see a Barak Obama Free fall.

Quite simply Hillary and the press gave Obama a free ride I think that ride is over. Even the bloggers are starting to delve into who is this man who might actually be in the White House come next January. What they are seeing is a bit disturbing to say the least.
