Obama's Small Town Slam

    I just saw this on CNN, and it really ticked me off. Yup. Our MSM is at it again! This CNN headline was shortly after followed by another "Obama's Explosive Comments Against Small Town America" headline.

   Explosive? Was CNN and I watching the same speech? Obama said "small town Americans cling to religion, guns, and oppose illegal immigration? ...O.K... Religion-... the one thing they can still believe in. Guns-.... The economically deteriorating neighborhood isn't as safe as it was in better times. Oppose illegal immigration-....You mean just like the majority do in the other 49 States? So where's the talking down  Part?

   Naturally Hillary and McSame couldn't wait to chime in. As should have been expected. I think Pennsylvanians are resilient, said Clinton, not people to be looked down upon....Obama looked down on them?.... This shows he's out of touch with Main Street America, said McCain. Since when is McCain Main Street America? He supports Bush policy in Iraq. That means he's at about 28% approval!

  The media loves controversy and sometimes creates a story by twisting statements and over blowing an incident. This reminds me of what the media did to Howard Dean in 04. Sadly, by playing it in the MSM over and over, they succeeded in portraying Howard as high strung. Many knew he was only trying to rally his followers after finishing third in the 04 Iowa primary. His troops needed a pep talk with energy, and he gave it!.

  The MSM needs to realize the clout they have. What they report can have an effect on an election. I hope they're not going to do to Obama what they did to Howard in 04 by greatly exaggerating this. I heard what Obama said, but never perceived the negative message our MSM did.
