"You, you, and you-get off my plane!"
This week, three major newspapers endorsed John McCain for President; the Dallas Morning News, the Washington Times and the New York Post. Yesterday, the reporters for those papers who travel with Barack Obama were informed that there were no more seats availbale for them on the campaign plane.
No retribution involved insists the Obama campaign. The move had nothing to do with the endorsements, they insist. It was just that the spaces were needed for others, reportedly writers for Jet and Essence magazines.
Right.
You call this change? You think Barack Obama and his campaign represent something new and fresh in American politics? Whatever Obama's policies, he knows politics. He came up in the rough and tumble Chicago machine style of politics that has always dominated that city. What Obama did to the writers from those three papers is no different from what old Chicago Mayor Richard Daley would have done. You take care of your pals and you screw your enemies.
Change, indeed.
You know McCain has done the exact same thing, right?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't know that. But even if he did, isn't Obama campaigning on CHANGE?
ReplyDeleteMcCain is also campaigning on change.
ReplyDeleteBryan,
ReplyDeleteYes, he is, but not the kind of change Obama is planning. I think the main thing McCain and Palin are talking about is cronyism and pork in govt. Whether you give credence to that is another thing.
He kicked people off of his plane that would make him explain his wanting to turn this country into a socialist country just proves that the liberal illuminati have been hid behind the bias media for this entire election.
ReplyDeleteknowitall,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely correct. For all the change Obama talks about, he is a product of the old corrupt Chicago machine style of politics
