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.

what do you mean?  No one with a teachers or civil servants pension, a cop or 
a fireman; ; no one with a 401K or an IRA, no one with investments; has a 
life?

A lot of us admire and respect the independence in your life, James.  But, 
not everyone can achieve the same.  Some of us have to live somewhaat within 
mainstream; that doesn't mean we have no life ...bobford
