Obama campaign kicks out "unfiriendly" press

Saw that this morning on Fox during my workout.  It made me smile.

I've got no problem with that.  It is a private charter, after all.  I wonder if the Obama campaign vetted the crew to make sure they are voting for BHO.

Obama, that arrogant sob. Wait until he is president if you think this is bad?

wonder whose idea that was  the fellers in the press might lose their love for him
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Hey this is just a preview, first they'll trample the 2A, then the 1A......
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Hopefully the McCain campaign takes advantage of this and grabs those guys up to get him some good press in these last few days.

Those reporters would probably stab McCain in the back, just to get back on Obama's good side.

Yes, I doubt those newspapers sent their pro-McCain reporters to follow Obama around.

The McCain campaign has also booted reporters from newspapers endorsing Obama. The real story in this is that there were newspapers that endorsed McCain.
