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.
