Final Exam

I feel like we are all dissecting him by everything on the outside. Is anyone out there looking at what things he wants to change. He says he wants to change. What does he want to change? How about No Child Left Behind that is screwed up he says that they are going to pretty much go back and fix it. I hope they remember Music Education! What about the war? That will be a major change. We never belonged there in the first place.

I tried in vein to find any network or cable news station that offered unbiased reporting of the election process. The exception may be PBS.

Why is it that during the election campaign, ALL candidates state when elected I'll do this and that etc., but then when elected it doesn't happen? The DEMS have controlled congress for the last two years. Why didn't they introduce legislation to do what they campaigned for? The same holds true for the republicans for the 6 years prior to that. And why didn't Bill Clinton address national healthcare during the 8 years he was president. I'm sure Hillary had his ear if not the fateful cigar. Promises, promises, but then 4 years of gridlock. Winning candidates should be held accountable for promises made and never acted upon, let alone not accomplished.

Wimpy liberals want everything taken care of for them, but they want the Right to pay for all of it . Don't bite the hand that feeds you, since your not willing to feed yourself.

Since the beginning of this political two year cycle, I have become a CNN news junky. The commentators are very well informed and quite enthused to share their impressions with us. Therefore, CNN was the first channel we selected last evening. We did briefly switch to ABC and found their graphics to be more confusing and their commentators to be more weary than the group on CNN. I would select two things that I would state as negatives in the CNN coverage. The first was in the constant reference to the 2004 election. I think that we could have been told about the changes rather than have John King show us the current map and then jump back to the former map only to have to go and explain the changes anyway. The next was in the extensive list of how voters were broken down per registration and exit polls. Perhaps it is important for strategists to know this, but any minute I was expecting to hear how left-handed flute players voted. Aren't we ALL Americans? Shouldn't we be counted as such?

I'm sure Obama knows exactly where bin Laden is. Seriously. In Obama's guest room.

The left wing media advertised for Obama for the last two years. He didn't need to spend any money..You elected your man...change is coming but I don't think you will like it when it does..The real change needs to come in the legislature. They are responsible for the economic mess we are in. We need to throw everyone out and start over with reps not will to put compromise on the top of their list.

Jason---THEY spent a billion dollars on the elction, not HE.

Notice that the majority of pro-FOX comments contain massive spelling/grammatical errors. What a bunch of twits. They believe coverage is fair and balanced only because they don't watch (or READ) anything that is in opposition to their beliefs.

Conservatives it's okay to admit when you are wrong...to have an OPEN mind...and to actually think about the result of your actions and words. It really is...

That is something that the Bush Administration and its RABID followers could not - and most likely will not - get a grasp of.

McCain did change over the past few years. He was a much different person four years ago. During an appearance on the Daily Show after the 2004 election; John Stewart remarked after their conversation "this man is now MY president." I wanted McCain to be president back then!!!

And in the end, this change of personality/position/opinion is what did him in...NOT the media coverage biased/straight/or otherwise.

And if anyone saw his comments on the plane flying to AZ, you could tell that he knew what the results were going to be before the polls closed. So as much as I don't like them reporting "projections" before the polls close everywhere - the campaigns knew how the night was going to end up long before the networks called it.
