The Ignored Story of Obama and Rev. Jeremiah Wright

Thursday November 20, 2008

For those of you feel that Obama would have lost if only the press had paid more attention to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, consider this finding from a fascinating new Pew study of press coverage of religion in the campaign:

"Looking at the entire primary season and general election period together - from January through mid-October - the Wright controversy was the single largest press narrative in the campaign, religious or otherwise."

The question is why are YOU pandering to them? Isn't there something positive to focus on? Try change.org if you need material. Sorry Steve your blogs have lost their flavor. Must we drag out this election nonsense? The economy is crumbling. THAT'S what we care about! Focus on what is REAL, what is happening RIGHT NOW, cut the drama. We're bored already...jeez....

So much for the "liberal" mainstream media.

Some believe that Obama will be our "anti-christ"? At least, here in Texas, some believe.

I find it very strange that this man came from "nowhere" and is now our president-elect? Am I the only "odd" one who feels that it would not have mattered how the voting went, he would still have been elected. My vote didn't account for squat as the upper government wanted "this man" in office because he is just as dishonest as they are. Only my feelings-let's not get all worked up over this.

I just don't trust our government any longer.

The "liberal" main stream media may still be alive and well.

I believe that this Obama is a devout Muslim and a hater of America.
I think he intends to bring down our country in any way he can.
Converting us to a Socialist government is the best & fastest way
to accomplish this. His pandering to foreign leaders is another
indication of his intent. His plan is most likely to try to merge
the U.S. with other nations into a "one world" entity. Our only
hope is that "We The People" can fight back through the Tea Parties
and other means to defeat him. The Liberal Press (Lamestream Press)
has already been crippled to a certain extent. They are the primary
reason he was able to get elected in the first place. It appears
that some of them have already begun to have second thoughts about
him.
