Final Exam

I have been disgusted with the biased reporting during the whole campaign showing their support for Obama - the "unbiased" media never gave McCain a chance! Each candidate and running mate had their issues - but I never once saw Joe Biden in a bathing suit, or pictures of their children during difficult times. For Palin a month ago the "unbiased" media reported that "troopergate found Palin guilty", and we never heard another word until the night before the election that "troopergate found her not guilty of using her power" - how convenient. My sympathies go out to the Palin family - but give them the most credit of all in the way they handled the hourly criticism regarding every part of their life - they are a stand up family and I hope that this doesn't ruin her career. Something tells me though that she likes a challege! Maybe this is why the people (without the money and represent American and "get it"), the ones who should be running for the presidency - don't! Why put your family though this hell! Senator McCain and his wife were an open book - about Cindy's past - but the media never questioned Obama about issues such as his "aunt", "previous relationships", "huge donations," providing his medical information, declaring his faith, and the fact that if he doesn't agree with you - he avoids it and revolts. I am curious if he has held his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.

I'm scared to think what is now going to happen! Who are the democrats going to blame now with an democratic majority in the Senate and House as well as a democratic President. Many forget that the President and Vice President have more than enough advisors, the Senate and House (who legislate all of our lives - I mean "laws") - the President is really elected to take all of the blame for everything that goes wrong - no one seems to blame the lawmakers for what has happened - what happened to being a team player!

Doesn't matter about experience right - that was the argument regarding Sarah Palin - Ronald Regan was elected president and HE was an actor! He was probably the most successful of all presidents. So that argument goes out the door. Race isn't an issue for me as I would have voted for Powell - because I believe in him and his experience! But knowing that McCain has been through war - I feel deeply that that would be his absolute last result - for those American who worried he'd rush to another war. He has integrity and it is a shame that the media didn't give him a fair contest.

As I could see, the Fox News network was the only station that seemed more fair than the others - kudos for having the guts to step out of the box!

Actually I became disenchanted with ALL of the networks, because the bias was so blatant. In addition to the "serious news" stations, SNL, Leno, Letterman, and just about everything that came out of Hollywood favored Obama, and the only negativity was directed at McCain and Palin.

Obama is in the perfect position, because he can blame Bush for anything that goes wrong and take credit for anything that goes right......and the media has his back.

Come on vk911 or should we just cll you" John the loser" Get over it. The repubs had 8 yrs to prove they were better and screwed it up. Try to give the man at least 4 to prove he won't.

ACORN made this a stolen election and the networks and news papers mad this a SELECTED not elected election. We are going down the road to being the U.S.S.A. United Socialist States of America. This whole past year shows that the education system has succeeded in making the public at large stupid. That is the only explanation as to how a socialist / communist can come to power in this once great country.

I liked the part where Faux Noise did a week's worth of segments about how a Bonesman (Willaim Donaldson) was in charge of SEC. I liked the part where O'Really risked his unbelievably stellar, awesome, amazing journalistic career to insist that private companies such as Bechtel should not receive no-bid contracts because private companies are exempt from SEC oversight...even if the oversight is provided by a Bonesman.

HA ha ha - I get up very early to write thiese jokes.

I believe the media did a great job at brainwashing the American people with their propoganda. Too bad the majority of American people fell for it. I am a college student who resides in the state of CT (D) and I did not vote based on party affiliation, but on who I felt would do a better job at stabilizing the economy and is a better diplomat. A "Junior" Senator does not have the experience to run a country that is in an economic crisis. A "Junior" Senator does not have the experience to deal with issues of foreign policy such as the rise of the sleeping giant to the East or other communist nations such as North Korea. Unfortunately the for me McCain did not prevail. I truly hope that this new President will fulfill the promises that he has made to the American people.. although I highly doubt he will. This country needs to be united ! Just in the 1 day that this man has been titled the "next" President come January, I have never seen the race card thrown out so much! The people who are citizens of this country are AMERICANS. Not white/black/hispanic/oriental.. simply AMERICAN. Why are so many so focused on the newly elected "African-American" president??? and did everyone forget that this man's mother is white??? CORRECTION: He is the FIRST Bi-racial man to win the presidency. People please stop throwing around the race card!!! This card will only destroy our country not build it up. Let's just pray for this country and hope that Obama delivers what he promised.

I am ashamed of how the media portrayed the Obama "team". This man won solely because he was black. He did not win because of his experience, accomplishments, wisdom, patriotism....Today, I am ashamed of being an American....I am ashamed of Mr. Obama and will never acknowledge him or that moron Biden as the leaders of my country.
I can say "my country" because I served it. I sacrificed for it and I salute it....Mr. Obama cannot even do that. He is a disgrace.

Tyli you are so ignorant in trying to downplay the significance of an obama presidency. Since the birth of this country being "free" was a call that attracted many people from other part's of the world to come to this place we call home. A home that was built with immigrant's for immigrant's in search of a better life! (unless you however we're born here from the start, which would make you native-american which I highly doubt you are) However up until 1862 "freedom" only meant if you we're white. And even after; african-american's who were "free" would be oppressed for another 100 plus year's. So yes, obama being the 1st BLACK president does mean something. It solidifies this country as truely the land where dream's can become possible. He open's the door for not only other african american's but asian-american's, latino-american's, native-ameriocan's who up until now thought a U.S president of color would NEVER be possible, therefore dashing any chance's of our daughter's and son's being the next leader of this great country of our's. I really cant understand how some people could vote for mccain to run this country when he couldnt even run his own campaign properly! Do you really want to trust a man who picked gov.palin as his running mate? She had more foot-in-mouth moment's than a group of sexually enticed men with fetishes for feet. No doubt mccain is a war hero, which should never be over-looked. But when you want to vote for a man who said the foundation's of our economy is strong only to have the stock market crash 5 day's after, you my friend need to have your head examined. Fox new's try's to build him up as the second comming of thomas jefferson citing how his war credential's should carry him over the top into the presidency. Combat history doesnt help when youh have unemployment rising higher than gas prices. Foreclosures rising over 70% within the last 3 month's with the government running to the aid of these big time coperations with no ampthy to the family who literally has been kicked out of their own (now the government's) home. I know Obama isnt perfect but I'm willing to take a risk with him than have another four year's of bush policies which turned a blind eye to the economy and put the real threat to our country on the back-burner (who attacked us on u.s soil) while we fight this listless war that's going no where fast!
