The GOP-controlled media's "Expectations Game"
It seems the GOP-controlled media are playing their "Expectations Game" again.

I just saw on MSNBC that HuffingtonPost posted a blurb entitled something like, "What if Obama is not a game changer?" (I don't care to give clicks for a story like that)

WTF!?



Sorry, but this is just more racist bullshit.

How in the world can the GOP-controlled media predict future attitudes based on hypotheticals of their own creation?

Not only does the GOP-controlled media lower the expectations for a McCain administration being anything different from a continuation of the current one. But now they are already doubting the possibility for any success of an Obama administration.

Not only does the first African-American candidate of a major political party exceed expectations to achieve that milestone, but the GOP-controlled media are expecting him to exceed any future doubt they will invent!

Where are the stories about what a failure Admiral McCombover has proven himself to be?

Why can't we create some buzz and offense on this forum to counter the GOP-controlled media lies?

1. The corporations that own the MSM dont WANT change
They've bought one politician after another for 30 years to get the government to be their servants, they wont easily give that up.

2. So, for those of us who disagree, why don't we create some buzz...
...to counter it?

We know they use this forum to do their work for them.

Why not use that power to influence them as well?

3. Props for an over-exposed
McSame and disappointment trolls for Obama. Extremely obvious(though oblique) partisan bias when seen as a whole and in the aggregate. At the same time they must cover up such cynical realism or disappointment regarding the war and the economy and all things Bush. A really really old and pathetic juggling exhibition, balls dropping everywhere.

They are so sad. Shouldn't we all be sad? They think so.

4. We can be sad, but that doesn't mean we do nothing else.
We have a forum that we know many people read.

This is a powerful tool we are not using.
