I am not going to bash Obama...BUT and HOWEVER....
I am really concerned about how the mainstream media is spinning him as moving to center or the right. I have notice that change too. I often wonder if that meeting between Obama, Dianne Feinstein, and Hillary had anything to do with it. If he is going to go where John Kerry failed, then I am deeply concerned. Even Arrianna Huffington thinks Obama moving to the middle is a bad idea. People will argue that he has to do this to win votes. Is the American public that naive to not notice the differences between McCain and Obama? I would prefer Obama stay the course and do what he has been doing. Does the Democratic Party need another defeat in the race for President? Like I said, I will not bash Obama, but I must raise some questions. Is he going to support FISA? Is he really going to pullout of Iraq? What is his stance on future free trade treaties? He still gets my vote though I maybe bashing my head against the same wall that I did in 2000 and 2004. My head is spinning and hurting from those last two bangings. Please somebody help shed some light on this topic.

Me and my head thanks you!

John

1. Media spin accounts for perceived movement. Period. Arianna's self-servingness another.

4. Sadly, they are the ones who make the spin and make it big.
Keep in mind you have a lot of sheeple types out there but I can tell you I am not one of them. It does impact a candidate's run regardless if you pay attention to the MSM or not.

5. Did Arianna win her run to office?
Did her ex-husband?
So what is this
"even" Arianna?
She was a Republican
before she was a
famous person
with a website.
