[Homestead] A first

I have been watching political stories on TV now for months, and last night I saw a first.
In fairness, I usually only watch ABC, CNN, and Fox...sometimes CBS, if that makes any difference.  Online I have a more varied news diet.  Last night, on Fox, I saw my first anti-Obama expose.  It was about 15 minutes long or more, and the guy brought up all the stuff we have talked about here under the theme of flip flopping, *change* of mind, etc.  If that piece got  more play, I think you would see McCain way ahead in the polls.  Of course, it played at like 1 AM, so there ya go...
Anyway, the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac connection for Dodd and Obama was really damning, IMO.  The guys responsible for the failures now are allegedly part of Obama's inner circle-according to McCain, Raines et al advises Obama on the economy..  He'd be hard pressed to blame Bushies/GOP if that is true.
There were other flips, too, gun control, troop withdrawal, etc.  I was actually quite shocked by it, some flip flops were almost immediate, one day he would say one thing, and two or three days later he reversed.  It was not hearsay, it was actual interviews and clips.
This is the first time I have seen any kind of negative expose on Sen. Obama on TV since the campaign began last year....
Of course, we heard whispers about Whitewater fraud allegations before the Clintons were elected, too.  But when people want change, sometimes they jump from the frying pan into the fire.  I honestly hope I am wrong about the Democrats, but the whole thing feels like I am watching a train wreck in slow motion.
