Original article: Obama's got ground game

press buddies not grass roots

Madden the fact of the matter is that because of the constant praise of Obama no one learns the facts. This is completely a case of the press carrying water for Obama. Where are the stories about the conversation that the Obama campaign had with the Chicago office of Canada's ambassador? Even politico had to admit that the denials are not quite ringing true. On the campaign trail in Ohio Obama is telling the voters that he is going to correct the NAFTA agreement, but he had a conversation with the ambassadors office last month to tell them not worry about what he says on the trail about NAFTA that it is just campaign rhetoric. CTV is giving names now and the press is still keeping the story hidden. The people have a right to know about this. No one seem to have trouble running with the NYT story on McCain that had nothing but insinuations by unknown sources and all the press runs with it. Now we have a Canadian news source that is giving names and no press in US is giving any notice to the story. WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE CARRYING THE WATER FOR OBAMA1

Not been a great year for the pundits

wrong there are a lot of pundits that all of a sudden are getting all the face time on tv they want all they have to do is write a hit piece on HRC.

There is a TV station that has to live up to Honesty in broadcasting rules that gives information about the honesty of BHO and all of our press rushes to kill the story, even tho it gives names and sources. A paper (NYT) which has already been shown to write lies if they help their politician, writes a piece filled with nothing but innuendos about McCain and everyone runs with it.

Give Hillary credit for believing that everyone even those of us in small towns deserve representation, as a constituent of Mr Obama I know personally that he doesn't believe that.

Happy Jack, Obama only hope for rescuing us. I don't need to be rescued just need a president that believes that this is a country of the people. Even those of us who live in small rural areas. My Senator Mr Obama doesn't believe that.

Soopergrover: Do you think he would be a candidate. didn't you read article Obama is ready for ascension.

If this had been about Clinton

If this had truly been about Clinton (she tells canadian officials have complete freedon to talk) It would have been the headliner in Salon along with all the other FREE PRESS here in good ole USA.

There also would have been a lot more comments from the Obama supporters trying to hike up the rhetoric.

our northeast gets a lot of electricity from Canada also, but the coal used to fuel those generators of electricity comes from west Virginia where the coal companies are blowing the tops off the mountains and destroying the forest, polluting wells, Killing fish and wildlife, along with causing the people of that area to suffer a wide range of desease's caused by the chemicals that are released with this enterprise. Those that survive are having their homes and property washed away because of the way that this is being done. But of course this is a very rural area, not a big wealthy city, and just about the only way the destruction can be seen is from an airplane flying over it. So I guess no one will change anything.

Obama And Farrakhan

Obama never rejected the support of Mr Farrahkan. He denounced what Farrahkan says and was pushed to reject his words but not the support.

never appeared on stage with him

I have been reading that Obama Supports and gets support from many people that he doesn't want his picture taken with.

Madame defarge

The appalling thing is that after all these months of the campaign you didn't recognize that John King was playing the race card for Obama not the other way around. This stuff is so stupid, how many years do you think that Hillary has been called Hillary Rodham Clinton, and it was meant as a slam against her but no whinning. You and cecil beanie have swallowed the Michelle Kool-aid, disagree with Obama and open your mouth YOUR A RACIST.

Cold medicines

Sometimes its just a doctor that doesn't seem to care. My son in law was in a hopital for a painful but not life threatening surgery. He had a prescription Zanaz before going in, had surgery the doctor gave him Valium, VicodenES 24 hr dosage in 12 hours along with a morphine pump, and IV phenergen, the last dose of phenergen was given when he had extreme pain and nurse or doctor never bothered to think that maybe he wasn't giving himself the morphine, because he wasn't clear headed. The nurse heard him snoring loudly and that didn't register either and they found him in the hospital room 4 hours after that last shot. He was dead and they could not revive him.He didn't use anything stronger than aspirin until he started on the zanax 4 days before surgery.

Unnamed

Seems to me you are attacking Clinton on sources that you can't name. Yet in the above article about the canadian incident you are attacking them because they didn't have the sources to run with a story. Hypocrite. What is this 4 out of 5 articles attacking Clinton and the press is not Biased.
