Center Stage

Newsweek: "...The vast flow of information unleashed by the revolution in media technology defined issues and character at warp speed. For months, the worst rumors and conspiracy theories had been aimed at Obama: ..., he was close friends with a former Weatherman bomber from the '60s...."
Obama and Ayers, the Ultra left wing left -wing Weatherman terrorist, weren't exactly stangers.
The reference to Sarah Palin reading John Birch Society magazines is attributed to a photo of her with a JBS reprint on her desk. The reprint was an a JBS article on the Conference of The States proposal . The New American Magazine called reader's attnetion to this fact. It mentioned that a constitutional convention was being peddled by former Utah Governor Mike Leavett. She and other members of the City Council of that small Alaska town were also given the same article ,the gist of which was an Article V call for a Constitutional Convention by Governor Leavett. The Governor was using a "conference of The States" as the pretext to call another constitutional convention . The John Birch Society as well as other groups, as People For The American Way, some labor Unions and organizations one normally associates with liberalism, were opposed to the Conference of The States Con -Con also!

aboma is not president yet, and is a lot pronblem, around him like a chicago senator, his pick for cia, i dont know where we wil goin with him, another thing caroilina kennedy, ??? why her she is not from new york, just bcause she is member of kennedy monopoly, give change some body else.

Sarah Palin was one of the few things McCain did right. All that reaching across did not get McCain the center vote, and lost a significant amount of the conservative vote. The things the pundits said were needed to win did not work. Look at the exit polls. We elected a Chicago Pol with no record to the highest office on earth because McCain could not decide how to run a campaign consistently.

When the heck is the press going to get it right? McCain was not a fighter pilot, he was a bomber pilot. So there go all your metaphors.

Correction: For the record, Todd Palin is not 1/2 Native Alaskan. He is only 1/8 Yup'ik, although i believe he is accepted as Yup'ik. Not sure how this would work out, but all the sources I've seen say his mom is 1/4 Yup'ik, and his maternal grandmother is a member of Curyang (although that doesn't indicate what her blood quantum given); not sure why nothing is said about his mother's blood quantum in that sense.

This is the most interesting reporting about people running for office have read in years. The time has come to really try to fix our government. No more pat you on the back and I'll do the same even if I don't agree. I am proud to be a white, Florida female, 63 years of age and see the hard lessons finally being understood. Thank You All

There's a lot of holes in this reporting. Little is said of Biden or what Obama's feeling towards him were and to boot, there is nothing about the touch and go on the floor of the convention where Hillary Clinton called for his nomination by exclamation when it was obvious he wasn't going to make it. Whether staged or not, it was scary and then exciting. Then there was no mention of Bill Clinton's five minute standing ovation and his great speech for uniting behind Obama. Lots of holes here.

The pit bull needs to find a BRAIN soon ! Oh yes and why did SHE go berserk with that spending spree for HER whole family ?????????? $165,000 +....wow that's lots of clothes sweetie AND .the spending was NOT authorised by your dog handlers, I repeat NOT ! Forget about 2016 Miss lipstick pit bull whack job ! YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO RUN IN ANY GOVERNMENT OFFICE !STICK TO KILLING DEFENSELESS ANIMALS ROM A CHOPPER

Heya gotcha lipstick pit bull you need to remember that there are 3 countries in North America being Canada, USA and Mexico.. Also remember that AFRICA is a continent not a country. FOXNEWS was saying that you have some mental and geographical issues ! Do you have psychiatrists in ALASKA ? Also, did you ever go to school ? Be honest for a change OK you little attack puppy !!

heya lipstick pit bull, remember there are 3 countries in North America and Africa is a continent not a country...daaaaaaa...did you ever go to scholl whacko ????

Agreed clare, other sloppy reporting was calling Wright States Arena a "high school gym". I don't know of many high school gyms that are set on a University, and has nearly 10,000 seats and box suites. Makes me wonder how many other errors are embedded in this story.

Someone at Newsweek should have bothered to fact check this article. Merrill Lynch was not sold to Morgan Stanley but to Bank of America. This was an inexcusably sloppy error.

Eight years we enjoyed under the Clinton Administration. From the small business point of view those were the golden years... past eight years have been very dark. Hurrah for change and a sensible thinking president again !

I feel so sorry for someone who is so bitter and hateful that they cannot share in this joyous occasion. Nearly the entire world is all but dancing in the streets, while you spew revenge and hate. Were you aware that hating like that and wanting it to hurt others, is the same as YOU taking poison and hoping THEY will die!
