Maybe you don't like or trust Obama for whatever reason but when is enough enough? Totally pandering and selling out to the neocon wing to get the nomination. "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" sung to the Beach Boy's Barbra Ann. Daily flip/flops particularly on the stances that made his "maverick" reputation. A bunch of gimmicky ideas to supposedly address real problems. The "Smokin' out the Iranians program", which expressed a desire to kill the citizens under an evil regime, rather than seeing their government as the enemy. and now The economic issues are mental. AKA "There's nothing to see here, move along". WE CANNOT AFFORD TO ELECT MCCAIN NOR CAN WE ALLOW THESE INGRATES TO CONTINUE TO SCUTTLE THE NATION!!! If Obama does absolutely nothing, it will be a marked improvement over what we've seen the last 7-8 years or can possibly dream of under Pander B. McSame. I never thought it could be true but is McCain actually potentially even worse than Dubbya? I'm shocked and disgusted at the possibility.

Problem is nobody likes to hear the truth when its not appealing. But more importantly, I'm tired of hearing this is not a "mental" recession. Indeed, it is a "mental" recession because it was mental FEAR that drove away the capital markets pulling out of mortgage backed securities and causing illiquitidy in the market. It is a real recession with real problems brought on by "mental" FEAR and that is the message, FEAR. The message is not that this recession is all in our head. It's real no doubt, brought on by mental FEAR. This is a nation of whiners. Problem is nobody likes to hear the truth when its not appealing.

UNLIKE OBAMA'S COMMENTS: 1. This was not taken out of context as part of some hatchet job by a political opponent: this appeared in the Washington Times--perhaps the single most conservative newspaper in the country. (For this reason, Gramm's attempt to "clarify" his comments that he meant the leadership, rather than the people, is COMPLETELY BOGUS!!) 2. Phil Gramm cannot claim to speak only for himself. He is recognized as a senior adviser on economic and other domestic advisor to McCain. He doesn't go "off the clock" during a political campaign. I will be outrageous if McCain escapes taking the full brunt of the impact of this remark. This is simply proof positive that the Repubs generally, and the McCain camp in particular, are completely out of touch with the public.

How are people supposed to make an honest choice in the election without honest coverage? Either cover the surrogates "missteps" equally and honestly, or don't cover them at all!
