    The left leaning media is making Obama a celeb, not Obama. They did the same thing with Kerry 4 years ago. Every liberal movie star and singer coming out bashing the Bush like they have any sense of reality. I don't like to have the media influence me on my choices so I take it upon myself to self educate on the issues. It would be nice if people would put down their Ipods and pick up a book and do the same.

    McCain's ads reveal him to be both dishonest and desperate.

      Appears you still have that tell-tale white powder around those nostrils. Lack of judgement??? You are a cocaine addict for goodness sake. You are in no position, by any standard, to criticize Obama's judgment. I would dare to guess that we have you to thank for the moron in the White House currently.

    DavidDi: with all the problems America faces, you want to vote for someone just because they have a certain skin color and not for what they stand for and will do for America--WHAT AN IDIOT YOU ARE!!

    This ad is just pathetic. It shows how desperate John McCain is... I thought he was going to run a "clean" campaign but I guess not. I am a moderate and I am now seriously considering voting for Obama. This just shows how low our political discourse has deteriorated.

      you may be a moderate, but you're severly lacking some common sense

    Obama DID say it. Period. It is amazing how the media has quickly begun to paint an aggressive attempt by McCain to hold Obama accountable for what he says, which changes daily by the way, but THAT'S alright, as being mudslinging, lying, etc., etc.

    I have watched Msnbc for years. I really am concerned, there is no objective commentary on most of the shows. Everything appears as skewed to make John McCain a hero ( which he was), today, he is an angry old man acting like a petulant child on the playground. The need for objectivity is dire, and although I have liked Buchanan, I find his racist comments to be offensive.

    Bipartisanship does not mean not exposing lies.

    Thank you for reporting on untrue negative campaign ads that misinform the public and serve to undermine democracy. Negative ads have been very successful in the past, and the media has a responsibility to serve the public by informing us when they make false claims.

    Obama never attacks his opponants?

    he calls mccain "same old politics with no new ideas" Why doesn't factcheck.org checkout the facts behind that statement? because the 'annointed one" would be proven WRONG.

    no left slant with factcheck.org. nope, none here.

      Ok, how is McCain not part of the same old politics with no new ideas?

    Karl Rove's minions have slimed their way into the McCain campaign. The champions of the Big Lie and Smear are now managing McCain to keep him on track and on message. The stench that arises from the Swift Boat style attacks on Obama is all too familiar. McCain himself was a victim of this filth in 2000. The fact that he needs to rely on this type of "thuggery" is proof positive of his feebleness as a candidate.

    NObama

    top ten signs Obama is arrogant:

    Proposed bill to change Oklahoma to "Oklobama"

    Offered Bush 20 bucks for the "Mission Accomplished" banner

    Asked guy at Staples, "Which chair will work best in an oval-shaped office?"

    The affair with Barbara Walters

    Having head measured for Mount Rushmore

    Guy sits around eating soup all day

    He's voting for Nader

    Offered McCain a job in gift shop at Obama Presidential Library

    Announced his running mate will be Andy Dick

    Been cruising for chicks with John Edwards

    McCain and the repubs just doesn't have anything but this negative nonsense. Hey McCain, instead of railing on Obama - how about you tell us what you stand for this week.

    McCain is just a tired angry old man who can only campaign on 'attack mode' but is unable to say what he is for. He is just a sad caricature of the Republican snake oil brand of corruption and Christian right-wing kooks.

    It would be nice if the news would be reported as news and not the journalist or stations viewpoints. It is so biased, so much for fair reporting. I do my job and keep my political opionions to myself, wish the newscasters would do the same.

    This is getting extremely ridiculous with John McCain, his staff as well as some of the other news reporters. I am voting neither Democrat or Republican. One thing I will say however is that John McCain is obviously jealos at the support that Obama is receiving! What did the people thinkmwhennClinton was drawing phenomenal audiences in bis first run for President. I feel very stronly to put an ducated man such as Obama with the likes of Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton is a total disgrace by someone who wants to be President! I wouldn't care who made the comment, Black white blue or green, Republican or Democrat! I am one of the undecide voters, but right now McCain wouldn't get my vote if he was the only canidate available. Rock Star what crap. Popular because he is a man of color, of two races! People are curious, they like him, but he is by no mens a Rock Star! How demeaning that statement is,

    CWatson - I was an undecided voter NO JOHN MCCAIN
