Stunning Gallup Poll: Obama takes new lead over McCain

Just these candidates who are running for office and know the problems are so widespread and so ingrained into our society that there is a rough road ahead. I do, however, know more than likely that Obama will be getting my vote in Nov. because I cannot, absolutely canno.

LOL, ain't it a shame? At last, Bush gets his comeuppance, at least in your mind? I'm rolling on the floor.

Economically, the country has done better under Democrats, so it is not surprising that the poll reflects Americans' concerns over the recent economic developments.

Chazzy,

I've done a bit of research, and it doesn't seem like you've done much other than cut and paste what's currently going around on right-wing websites (and what was spread before by pro-Clinton sites).

Contrary to your ravings about "media bias," the reason that there are no mainstream stories about violations of the Logan Act is because there simply is no violation.

In 1975, Senators John Sparkman and George McGovern were accused of violating the Logan Act when they traveled to Cuba and met with officials there. In considering that case, the U.S. Department of State concluded:

The clear intent of this provision [Logan Act] is to prohibit unauthorized persons from intervening in disputes between the United States and foreign governments.

Obama was clearly not in Iraq to negotiate, but was there to listen to Iraqi leaders, and had been cleared to do so by the executive branch.

Sorry, Chazzy, but this ranting of yours is simply an overblown and pointless excursion by the right-wing anti-Obamaites out there.

Your time would be much better spent looking into Palin's qualifications to lead the country (and the corruption inquiry against her), since unlike Obama being charged under the Logan Act, there's actually a chance that she may end up a heartbeat away from the presidency with corruption charges filed against her.

First, note that if one story is created by a member of the partisan press and is picked up by two hundred more members of the partisan press, it is not thus "validated." Consider the recent story about the "mini-army" of Obama's investigators air-dropped into Alaska to dig up dirt about Governor Palin. John Fund wrote the story in the Journal, based on one anonymous source. The right-wing Internet community picked up the story and repeated it endlessly. The McCain-Palin campaign inserted it into a campaign ad. The Democrats denied it. John Fund then denied (correctly) that he'd said "Obama," rather "Democratic," and said further clarification would be provided in a post on last Friday at noon. No clarification has been forthcoming. No retraction has been made by anyone. Yet on Wednesday last, the Mainstream Media were ignoring this important "validated" story. You'll forgive me if I withhold judgment on any violation of the Logan Act by Senator Obama.

Second, the "Mainstream Media" are owned exclusively by billionaires. Right-wing commentators have constructed an airy fantasy world in which these billionaires are some sort of overprivileged hippies who act directly in contravention of their own class' interests. You'll excuse me if I choose not to share their fantasies.

Third, history shows us that the Mainstream Media have had no problem whatsoever attacking left-wing candidates or, for that matter, sitting officials. How long did the press go along with the ludicrous Whitewater investigation--activity that supposedly had taken place TWO DECADES before? Do you feel that Clinton's impeachment proceedings were swept under the rug? Al Gore's "overuse" of electricity at his home? The burning question of whether and if so when Joe Biden has had hair plugs inserted?

And finally, the universal use of the term "undermine" in reference to Obama's trip demonstrates not only the endless use of Control-C, Control-V in these stories, but the lack of objectivity therein.

I am not a republican....I am not a neocon ...I am a fiscally conservative, socially moderate,libertarian who has only once voted for the winning candidate in 11 presidential elections.

whether or not one supports any candidate, is or is not a supporter of Bush it is still appalling that the MSM chooses to completely ignore a validated story in which a candidate for the presidency undermines an elected president's negotitions with an ally in a time of war

Like you, I am a vet and as a vet you must acknowledge that his actions are unacceptable...bordering on criminal.....regardless of which candidate you support.

"That stuff was fully vetted by the press in 2000" --in the estimation of whom? The right-wing loons passing around their latest shiny object on their red, white and purple websites, certainly. Not, however, in the estimation of the rest of us, particularly those of us who did wear the uniform of their country. Most of us probably would agree that showing up whenever it was convenient to one's duty station might well set off some twenty-year sergeant or thirty-year CPO to the point of actual physical violence. Unles, of course, one were a worthless coward in the first place, and one's father were a Congressman.

the difference...obviously ....is that occurred thirty five years ago ....One logically expects a little more decorum when one has expectations of ascending to the presidency.....further to my point is that stuff was fully vetted by the press in 2000, not ignored to further the liberal agenda.
If you fail to see that difference then I am sure you are a fan of the Star.

It is unbelieveable to me that the Star continues to ignore the shocking story of George Bush's betrayal of his oath, his honor, and his country. As a member of the United States Armed Forces, he left his unit without permission during wartime. None dare call it desertion-why? The mainstream media, "embedded" in this administration since the first day, refuse to investigate this clear violation of UCMJ. Only we the people can force them to cover it. They will continue to cover for him, unless and until they become afraid that protecting him will bring them down as well……faster and further than they have brought themselves down already.

A sickening betrayal of the public trust.
