What a week

The McCain camp had a meeting last weekend where they decided to drop any pretense and just go relentlessly negative against Obama. This decision was made based on a feeling Obama was riding too high after his oversees trip and needed to be cut down.

Well, after the "He's a traitor" attack, and the "He hates the troops " attack, this week it was gas prices, Britney spears, and to top it off "He played the race card!" The straight talk express exists no more, apparently Senator McCain would sell out his own character to try and win the presidential race. The sad thing about all of this is that it's probably working.

Jack Cafferty of CNN's the "Situation Room" pondered if the American people were going to fall for this stuff again after the last eight years. It's not whether the people will buy it or not thats the problem. Its will the media stop covering it.

Apparently Exxon Mobile made A United States record $12,000,000,000 last quarter, Barack Obama decided he may sign on to legislation in the house supporting a bill that includes some offshore oil drilling and the media does not care. Who may or may not have played the race card and whether or not Barack thinks he's the messiah was deemed more important.

If the cable news channels would actually report news and not this crap like a celebrity gossip franchise, our political system and country as a whole would be better of. However, for the time being we have to bear this nonsense, and sadly probably see a lot more of it in the coming weeks. I'm of two minds as to whether Obama should get in the gutter as well. It might help him win, but is winning worth selling your soul? The next few months may go down as a historic period in our history, but it could go down as one of the most shameful as well.
