Jed posted this new video of Obama talking to an undecided small business owner. America would be so lucky to have Obama as president.

It's so discouraging that bloggers and ordinary people have to be the ones catching the media in their lies. Remember when it was the media that kept things honest? Now it's only Olberman, Maddow, and the bloggers.
How typical. I used to think Tucker was bad in that slot, but at least we knew what angle he was levering during his show. Gregory must either think we're all dopes, or he's so far gone down the route of msm-ness that he's lost all effectiveness and objectivity.
I think it's time Gregory retired to the weather channel where his talents would be oh so very much appreciated. Picture it: Galveston in a gale force wind and the hair being tossed about while David breathlessly reports on the wind.
Or has he already orchestrated his response to the tune of "we've gone to hell in a handbasket, and we must get back to paradise..." which he plans to extoll for the next 8 years of Dem dominance.
We now have NBC's heir apparent to Tim Russert, David Gregory, claiming it is not up to the press to challenge the White House. Gregory is a product of fluff TV news in Sacramento. And print journalism credentials? Gregory worked for The Eagle, American University's campus newspaper. As to Gregory ever properly covering the collapse of Fannie Mae, there is a slight problem. Gregory's wife is Beth Wilkinson, who also happens to be Fannie Mae's General Counsel.
Just like Andrea Mitchell (married to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan), all they do is protect their own interest (aka $$$) and continue on with the government LIES.
I hope all of these freaks of the CONservative party become "persona non grata" forever.
She resigned when the government took over on Sept. 20. On June 16, 2006, the New York Times reported her naivete on the way in: "Ms. Wilkinson, for example, knew nothing about the mortgage-backed securities at the core of Fannie Mae's business." But on her way out, her cluelessness no longer in doubt, nobody questioned how this woman was qualified.
In order to maximize their profits from sales of newspapers and of advertising, the corporate media is lying to their readers and viewers, trying to convince them that the election is much closer than it is.
David Gregory is a MSM Whore!
I felt like it asked biased questions about Obama:
If you knew Barack Obama supported a plan to provide Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants, would you be: Much more likely to vote for him, Somewhat more likely to vote for him, Somewhat less likely to vote for him, Much less likely to vote for him, It doesn't change my vote, Not sure
Other questions were if you knew Barack Obama supported a plan to give government health care coverage to illegal immigrants, supported the handgun ban in Washington DC (which was later overturned by the Supreme Court), supported the right to the procedure called partial birth abortion, would you be: Much more likely to vote for him, Somewhat more likely to vote for him, Somewhat less likely to vote for him, Much less likely to vote for him, It doesn't change my vote, Not sure.
No questions about McCain. Then it asked if I liked NASCAR, played golf, and how often I shopped at Wal-Mart, among other questions.
Note the following, as well: The VA poll Gregory picked is not only two weeks old, but if you go to Silver's site fivethirtyeight.com and look at the polls going back to the 20th of SEPTEMBER (scroll down to each state on the right hand side), the Mason-Dixon and ARG polls are the only two that have Obama trailing McCain. SEVEN other individual polls have Obama ahead, three by double digits.
Similarly, in NC, fivethirtyeight.com notes that there were SEVEN total polls by different organizations conducted in the first eight days of October. FIVE of those seven have Obama leading.
Gregory has clearly gone out of his way to make it appear like McCain still has the edge in these two Southern states. Not only are these polls old, but had he broadcast this when they were new, he would STILL have been cherrypicking to favor McCain. They would not even have been the average of all of the polls conducted. That's pretty bad!
Wonder if the word is going to get out about this type of distortion so that Obama surrogates prepare themselves with statistics before they make any appearance?
Boy, that October Surprise better be good! Election-theft is going to be tough with an Obama landslide. Props to the corporate media for creating a phony back-story out of whole cloth, just in case. Make that two stories: The race was tight; and then some "wing-nut" from nowhere, prob'ly a registered Democrat, not under McCain's control, pulled out a gun and . . .
"No one could have foreseen..."
It just kinda writes itself.
Pardon my tinfoil hat, but what, exactly, are we going to do if they pull another 2000, 2004, or 9/11? Anything? And by we I mean us.
