"Wolf, Wolf, why were you dissing on Michelle today?"

6. I hope Obama keeps on playing with them
remember when he excluded the press from his meeting with Hillary, and they were on his plane, and he was sitting at Dianne Feinstein's living room, I hope he keeps them in suspense.

8. Whether they realize it or not they got hooked big time, for once I have
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 08:55 AM by AuntPatsy
seen them talk more of Obama than anything or anyone else this am on cnn, granted, the red head media shrill did attempt to inject a bit of an arrow at Obama's campaign about making the issue of the "house number game" being a waste considering other issues that should be more important but she also threw one at Mccains camp as well for continuing it but considering what they have forced us to see as real news in the past that was a pretty ironic statement....

I don't trust that one, seen her before attack dems without a bat of an eyelash, perhaps without realizing they are being played, the media is having to talk about Obama's vp choice without being able to use this as an issue to find true fault with him..

Granted, cnn is not as bad as faux but the last eight years have proven to me they are not to be trusted...

Whomever decided to wait this long to announce the VP choice for once made a good decision....they threw out a hook to the media and they bit it..impressive.

15. What a fucking dumbass thing to say
Obama is playing the media like a violin and you think it's childish?

That's the most dumbass thing I've ever seen posted on DU.

22. Hm, let's see, the campaign has gotten a week of coverage over this
Then right in the middle of it, when all eyes were on the campaign, they dropped the Housegate bomb, and now everyone is on it.

Childish? No.

13. The actual VP nominee will be stowed in a lettuce truck
along with several migrant workers and driven to Illinois. The press will proceed to shit a brick.

19. I find all of this hysterical.
We've gone from politics to paparazzi. If they want to do this right, they need to get the TMZ boys, Perez Hilton, and the National Enquirer on the job. They'll be crawling through sewer lines to get the info.

21. "The Text" idea was a stroke of genius.
Every reporter in the country is now "signed in" to Obama's campaign. For the duration. Ever try to get OFF one of Obama's lists? I literally had to change e-mail addresses to manage it.
