For months I have been hearing the media hammering Obama and his wife that the American people do not know who they are and that explains why the polls are not better. They have said that he needs to identify himself to the blue collar worker. And that he, Obama, is not viewed well by these and other voters.

And that is just what Michelle Obama set about doing just that at the convention. She told the public about her life and her life with Barack; she showed that her story was a “typical” American story. That they both were brought up in modest means and worked hard and long to get where they are today.

Now the media vultures are slamming them for being too mild mannered in the speech; that McCain was not attacked and that the speech was too mild mannered. The media is saying that McCain is getting a free ride at the convention and that 25% of the time was wasted on a life story instead of hitting McCain hard and fast.

Enough! At what point does the media stop driving the conversation and direction of the convention and election? At what point does the media stop looking and creating drama and start reporting on the issues that are facing the voter?
