NBC affiliate KHNL here in Hawaii has been giving Obama 10 to 15 minutes of air time every night for the last 4 nights. I realize part of this is due to the the caucus.
Hillary gets only 2 or 3 minutes. And after every Obama segment the stations airs a commercial for their up coming special on Hawaiis disaterous health care problems.
I put two and two together and just want to slap the guys who say their is no media bias. Not to mention also the Obama campaign commercials that air alongside everything I just mentioned.
Funny post Eric.
Obama.
We are subjected to blind loyalty here.
He went to Punahou. Which is a really expensive private school. But for some reason locals are all excited about his being a resident at one time.
I’m not sure how hard his upbringing was with anyone who had that income here.
Locals dont like loud arrogant white women.
Plus if you read above the media here is practically stamping him with approval.
Locals feel hes their best hope for pushing the Akaka bill through and helping the Hawaiians achieve some sort of solidarity and more reckognition in the form of entitlements
Interesting that CNN is blasting Obama for his “plagiarism”… not the fact that he says, “we have no fear but fear itself”… or “I have seen the mountaintop”… or anything famous, but instead because he uttered “just words”… But the real interesting note is how CNN twisted Mrs. Obama’s words to fit their news scoop. She said, “This is the first time I’ve REALLY been proud of America” or “Americans”. She didn’t say, “This is the first time I’m FINALLY proud of Americans”, or “I am now FINALLY proud of Americans”… so CNN is so twisted sister in love with the Clintons they have to beat up on the wife of a guy who never says anything of substance and accuse her of insulting American citizens. This is a funny business.
I tried to check out the onion, but the military has it restricted…there must be nekkid women on the site…
Well fracker.
With all due respect I find it hard to believe that this is the first time Michelle can find something in her adult life to of really been proud of America.
Their have been many many incidents in American history before that we can all be really proud of.
On the other hand I sincerely believe that she just mispoke.
All she needs to say is;
” that didnt come out right”
Yeah, she should have said “the first time I’ve been really proud of the American electoral system” or something like that. To be honest, if a black man or a woman could actually win the presidency, just for that alone I would be prouder of America than I ever have been before in my lifetime either!
Jersey.
Only if they could actually run the country.
Lets not make a statement on our clearing the hurdles of bigotry as opposed to electing the best person for the job.
America has plenty of Blacks and women playing very important roles in America right now, and has for a while now.
I dont want to be able to brag about our acceptance of diversity and end up with some shmuck in office.
Do me a favor this time.
Either Obama or Hillary would be fine, I’m sure. Still, I would be both stunned and filled with pride in my fellow Americans if they could rise above misogyny or racism and actually elect a black man or a woman for the highest elected office in the land. I can’t think of anything in my lifetime that would make me more proud of America.
What?
Thats something to be more proud of as an American than anything in a lifetime ?
” Oh look everyone, we can elect black men and women. Arent we something?”
Thats how race gets put out front .
If there was ever a time when race wasnt an issue that would be something I would really be proud of.
Electing a black man could say just a much about racism being alive and well as it might say we all got past it.

all i can say is that if Obama wins the delegate count and hill wins the super del’s, it will be like running into a brick wall for the Dems

I love how under Obama’s stance on key issues it says in nearly every field: “Position being drafted.” Classic!

Obama must have been charged with substance abuse in an earlier life, that’s why he’s avoiding it now…
