I have been watching the Obama Summer of War Tour and think that the situation is being handled really well. There are opportunities here for some gaffs that could bite him in the butt, but so far all is proceeding well.
With that said, the media is pouting and whining big time. It seems that they do not have the access that they would want to turn it into a media circus. All the MSM is getting is the images caught by the DOD people and released to the media. In return fire the media is bad mouthing the coverage saying that they are soldiers and not journalists.
They are trying and crying to get more access to the candidate; they are chomping at the bit to find something that they can use to torpedo Obama’s mission in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East. The best I can come up with is–what a pack of pussies!
The arrogance of the MSM is amazing–hell–I even have run into it here–they all believe that they are the only ones that are capable of creating news–Yes! I said creating! That is what this corporate media does–they create the news and they are the ones that set the issues and the tone of this election.
