Wow. And you say I sound stupid sometimes...
__________________I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that you seem to go through life believing that if conservatives don't like someone, it is because he is black. That you seem to believe that the reason that Beck and Hannity and Rush, and even myself despise Obama so much is because he is black. You really sound ignorant. "Oh my! What a way to unite and ignite conservatives! A black guy! Forgot about his liberal ideas and harmful policies and inexperience! He's BLACK!" Sounds about right, huh Darin? YIKES. I truly feel bad for you. |

As for racism, I think you'd be utterly foolish to deny there isn't a fairly strong undercurrent of latent racism among conservative tv personalities. Quote:

The whole 'race' issue is a 'bucket of glue'.
One can not touch it without getting it all over themselves. I have always said 'race' issues are a problem. let's not kid ourselves, there are a lot of Obama supporters, that have racist attitudes against blacks. |

Actually, I could easily see a McCain electoral victory with a magin of defeat greater than Kerry's defeat in the popular vote in 2004. The African American vote will be the highest its ever been in many southern States, but will not be enough to win any of them. Add that with some very close McCain victories in swing states, and McCain could be President despite Obama winning with as much as a 4 percent margin in the popular vote. Then there is the 269 to 269 tie senerio which could happen for the first time this year, given certain swing states and who is likely to win in them. |

But don't you see, deep? If he admitted the mistake (which I tend to think he SHOULD), you'd simply say that you're not sure you want to take a chance with another preisdent who's judgement is so poor on foreign policy as to not recognize the surge was a good idea. Your mind, at least from my perspective is pretty much closed on this issue. ![]() |

bottom line: Obama gets more air time because that's where the "story" is -- what's interesting, what's new, and what's going to get the view to watch. this does not at all mean that the coverage is by definition "positive," and in fact, due to the whines and sobs about "liberal bias" in the media, the media are actually tougher on Obama in order to counter any appearance of liberal bias. |

it's been astonishing the gaffes and contradictions and factual inaccuracies that have come out of McCain's mouth this past week that have gotten no airtime. and don't think that the network anchors weren't following Obama around the globe last week as much to catch him screwing up as for any other reason. |

This is why I, when I hold presentations, refuse to rely on any cards or other notes. When you have prepared a certain speech and something goes wrong or you lose a line you stand there stumbling and not making any sense at all.
On the other hand, I guess as a politician holding a speech you need it in some way to be prepared, and here you see what happens when he doesn't put in the effort to also learn it by heart. |

If we're posting things like that, someone should find the video of McCain with the Dali Lama reading his statement off a folded piece of paper.
Come on, you're standing there with the Dali Lama and you can't say a few words off the top of your head? |

That's something I don't understand with so many politicians and other people regularly speeking in front of crowds. The easiest sentences they need to have on a piece of paper and even read them out instead of just having it as security.
__________________A few weeks ago in Uni we had a panel discussion and the director introducing the panel read each single sentence from a sheet of paper. Even the "Thank you for attending and enjoy the discussion" he read from the paper, hence his intonation was awful. How can you become a director of a university and not even being able to just say "Thank you"? |
