Obama Campaign Goes Negative with Gambling Game Ad

You do realize what state Barack Obama came from right???? Illinois, the most corrupt State in the country, where the last 2 governors and the current is being indicted and trying to have his election recalled right?  I don't doubt this story, but if Iit came from a reputable source someone you know, family member, its believeable. 

My question is how do you people not actually believe the fact this story may actually be true we just don't hear about it because our media is so flipping biased and because Barack is the "first black man running for office." that novelty is wearing off really quickly, so is his idea for change.  He has yet to say what he wants to change.  I honestly believe the store but really some of you seem very gullible to believe whatever you hear. 

Wishy washy probably was not the best phrase, however it does not mean flip flop, at least to me.  I have always looked at wishy washy as being very non-committal with issues.  I simply meant Obama to me seems to mostly have charisma going for him and not much else.  I would still prefer him to McCain for the simple fact that I disagree with many of McCain's ideas/beliefs, even more so with Palin on board now.  However since I'm in Canada I'm not exposed to too much of American politics.  I can vote though since I am a citizen, but since I have never lived it the States I'm not sure what the process is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's stupidly complicated, may not though.

 Are you kidding? Republicans smear much more than democrats (swift boat anyone?), and it's done with party knowledge and resources ad knowledge. Read about the ''secret muslim'' chain letters, read zell Millers 2004 convention speech (then read Obama's 2004 speech, and try to tell me that democrats are the party of smears.), read about the 2000 republican primaries, specifically about John Mcain's ''bastard half black child'' , read about the campaign ad that featured Obama's wife, read about the national review saying that he wasn't a US citizen, and read about the accusations that he's a terrorist (completly unfounded of course, but that never stops them). The right engages in character attacks far more than the left. Shit, it isn't even really a matter of debate. And where has the Obama campaign attacked palin's family?

 Well i know McCain wouldn't have chosen Palin for VP if she was a male...

One thing i am tired of hearing is how people blame Obama (or any candidate for that matter) for attacks from the media or his supporters... The campaign has no control over independent journalists/pundits or their own supporters. You can tell them not to do something but in no way do they gotta listen; idiots are always free to be idiots, especially those who thinks that when their candidate says "no" they mean "yes"   *cough*PUMA*cough*. It's like nearly the entire basis for the "obama is sexist" rhetoric is people taking attacks from the media and applying their words to Obama.

How would the media treat Palin if she was a woman... pretty darn bad. Yes certain things probably would not come up, like the question of juggling raising kids and VP (even though it's a fair question for men as well)... However much of the media attacks would still occur. Her Daughter would be attacked since the media finds it relevent to her strong abortion and sex education stances; She would be dogged for her lack of experience; She would would be attacked on how little time she spent on the national or international track... She would still face most of the criticism if she was male

Palin is a person who has never really been on the national scene... as such the national media has never tried to probe into her life and dig up every piece of dirt she has. Unlike Obama who the media has been digging into for the last 18 months, and McCain, Biden and Clinton who have all been in the national media spot light for years. The Media took one look at Palin, an inexperienced candidate, a virtual unknown that no one ever REALLY dug dirt on, and thay saw massive opportunity... They began to sap Palin for all she was worth like an untapped oil source... Frankly i think what the media would just love most and is searching for is proof that, without a shadow of a doubt is, that McCain picked her MAINLY because her gender
