It’s the big political buzz today.
Barack Obama is on the road overseas, and he has an army of United States news media traveling with him. Katie, Brian, Charlie, all their make-up artists and personal assistants, and representatives from all the big news agencies and even some that wish they were big are tagging along for Obama’s international ride.
Now, even some in the national news media are questioning the full court press coverage. McCain didn’t get it on his numerous past Middle East visits, some say. Even the great New York Times is under fire for refusing to publish a McCain Op/Ed piece on the Iraq war.
So I ask you: what do you think? Is the American press obsessed with Obama, and is the coverage unfair as a result? Or, is this a case of Obama being the “better story” this campaign with news coverage reflecting the most newsworthy of the two main candidates.
Move over Katie, Brian, and Charlie. What do YOU think?

A political campaign tell the press we are going here. That is all they might ask some media if they can send someone but the media decides who goes since they are paying.
So when John Mc Cain is standing there calling someone an Elitist in $ 570.00 shoes remember this is politicas.
Go ahead for vote Mc Cain I can’t. His family values are not there for me. He left his wife for a rich woman and even commited BIG O ME by getting the marriage license for Cindy before he was ever divorced. Sorry adultery and big o me do not count as family values to me. Nither does outright greed and self promotion.
Like the message Obama placed in the whailing wall in Israel. Being Humble and Respectfull mean more to me.
Mc Cain calls his wife a $unt in front of toher people.

He has gotten unfair press coverage from the beginning of his campaign. If you watch CNN or as I call it ONN (Obama News Network), they have fallen in love with him and never say anything negative. They are all the same. They don’t want to sit back and allow history to happen, they want to give it a push and make sure it does. You can sign me a Hillary supporter who does not support the Democrats this year!
