How Obama won Wisconsin

    Give credit where it belongs

    I really hate to say this about my fellow americans but it seems to me that we are proving that we can not think for ourselves at all. This man has been a promotion of the press. We find out this week that this great orator does not even use his own slogans let alone his own words. They come not from a great person of the past that everyone knows where they came from but from an unknown governor of Mass.of which I hear has not been so successful at the job. Yet the press goes out and defends him, his wife says that for the first time in her adult life she is proud of us americans and the press defends her. This has been a constant of the press they make Obama out to be not a presidential candidate but a savior, and I don't need a savior, I already have one, but I do need someone for president that knows what they are doing. Remember the last time the press sold us a bill of goods? No? How about when GW was telling us lies about Irag, and instead of checking it out (as they are suppose to do they sold it to us. That sales job cost us 4,000 lives (so far) what will this sales job cost us?
