Two great candidates have fought to a draw so far. But could media adoration wind up hurting Obama?
  • What Happened to the UNITY?

    Joan: I am just dumbfounded by some of the supporters of Obama. I have been on all of the political sites and cannot believe what some of these supporters think about women.

    I really think the media has pushed Obama and is still doing it today. Everytime I turn on a political channel, be it MSNBC, Fox or CNN, all I see is Obama. I do not understand why they feel it is their obligation to push this candidate, especially at no cost to his campaign...free advertising.

    I hope the people of America open their eyes and see what is being made of this man. His supporters are showing me daily what they want and who they will put down to get it.

    I am very upset that they feel it is the obligation of America to vote for him and they will go to great lengths to put down what they call the "unemployed housewife" and the "little old ladies". I am very dissapointed in his supporteres and their statements, which are always negative.

    I am also very dissapointed in Obama, since he was the one to allow this negativity towards women. Obama showed his supporters what he thought of the "little old ladies" when he imitated the walk and talk of a "little old lady" at one of his rallys.

    It is so obvious to me that "Unity" is just a word and not an action for the Obama campaign.
