Honestly, this clip has no effect on my belief in Obama's capacity to handle the presidency. McCain's campaign dollars will be better spent on his policy platform rather than attempting to indict the vulgar, opportunistic broadcast media. But perhaps as an American who reads the newspaper each morning I am not the target audience for the clip.
I support Obama NOT because he is devoid of flaw. Rather, the countless articles I've read about him paint a portrait of a man who is a critical thinker, intellectually curious, literate, thoughtful, non-narcissistic, and non-reactionary. These are the personality characteristics that create a better world. If the media swoon over this, that's their problem. McCain's attempt to expose them just makes him look insecure and defensive.
