So is Obama now to be guilty of someone liking him and someone else who is less desirable by the public at large? How should he pay for this "Guilt by associated like"?
What is worse depends on your opinion, thanks for yours.
1.
Good. So then you think both him and McCain are Earnest (you made a point of making the same comment about McCain below, almost in a way of distinguishing him from Obama).
2
Has he ever held a job?? how do mean? Like working ad McDonalds or something, or digging ditches? Do either of them have to be a blue collar worker in order to run the USA?
3
He didn't ask you or anyone to "Shed a tear" but rather it is done to counter any idea that he comes from some "silver spoon" background. Your annoyance with his background are noted.
4
are you going to leave such a statement without example or proof. Pretty weak statement if you leave it at that.
5
BS. He was a state senator for years before his Federal post. He has had plenty of time. You don't have to be in your 60's or 70's to be the leader of a country.
6
Not gonna happen at Fixed Noise.
7
Like I said earlier, you said you find Obama earnest. He has 3 years in Federal office.
8
I hope you are right, i fear you are wrong.

I think if there were another "Rev Wright" sized story, they would have brought it out by now. To bring it out before the convention would do her more harm then good.

1. No big secret. Their dislike is not comparable to MSNBC's dislike of McCain. So the cable people are biased? It ain't hate, rosebud.
2. How do you reconcile your assessment that I make a difference between McCain's and Obama's earnestness when I say they're both earnest? Hmmm...sounds like you're misinterpreting.
3. No, neither has to have held a job, in fact I can't think of the last president who did. But any claims of connecting with the blue-collar vote by either candidate (and McCaine doesn't even try) is falling flat. No jobs, no real-world experience in anythng other than the academe and politics. Elitist? Oh, yeah.
4. Yes. CNN, Fox, MSNBC (well, not MSBNC is much, as they're all opinon) have an obligation to report NEWS, and the rest, O'Reilly, Olberman, Mathews, Hannity and Colmes, are ALL OPINION. The line is clear, and if you confuse Olberman and O'Reilly with news, you should buy my share of Coney Island. The "baby's mama" as opposed to the "babies mama" is quite frankly, reaching. First, they sound exactly the same in speech, which must have been when this was uttered, as we would have an issue had it been written out. Second, that is just plain clodpole paranoid, looking-for-victimhood reasoning. Give me a break, please.
5. Don't quite understand your point. That the Tailwind scandel was made up news (google it) is pretty much history. As for Dan Rather and the letter-gate thing (as it was incorrectly called) that also is history. Even the guy who furnished Rather the documation said as much The letters purpoting to be to Bush's CO were printed on a computer printer in a font that did not exist at the time they were supposed to have been written.
I take nothing for fact, and the support is there if you will just google. Tail WIND, not Tailhook.
6. BS back. I know State Senators, and they work maybe 12 weeks a year, four or five hours a day, and are concerned with Illinois affairs. A governor has more credibilty, and a US Senator or a Rep has loads more.
7. Or Mostly Communist Negative Broadcast Company. Let's get cute with acronyms?
8. That's why they call him "Freshman Senator." Earnest is no substitute for experienced.
9. No, I'm right. No doubt about it.
10. Think tactics. Now is not the time for bad news, too much time to discount it before November. Google "October Surprise."
You will know who (if any) leaked news by the timing. If before the Democratic Convention, HRC. If in October, the Republicans.
I hope I did not confuse your questions with those of another poster who did about the same kind of riposte.
