Lesson to be Learned

“Governor Palin thought Africa was a country- not a continent..”
Hoaxspan
McCain Policy Adviser “Martin Eisenstadt ”
In the golden days of media, before Republican deregulation and corporate monopoly buy-outs, the focus was on real news.
Today it's on ratings and bottom line sales. This is the price we pay.

Whats worse? calling africa a country? or Obama saying he's campaigned in 57 states so far? Wheres the f'n change? so far 31 of the 47 cabinet members that have been named were members of the Clinton administration, do I have the wrong definition of change?

Obama hasn't named anyone to his cabinet yet. Those 31 people are on the transition team.
Some possibilities are here:

okay 31 people who are rumored to be named to Obama's cabinet are former Clinton staffers, unless cnn, abc, nbc and npr arent telling me the truth? who knows maybe I am just naive for believing them? I didn't hear several reports that Hillary was at the top of the short list for secretary of state either. Maybe I could check to see what it says on Obama's website change.gov, but unfortunately he took down the entire "agenda" section that was there prior to election day. oh well you know the saying, the more things change, the more the stay the same. anyway he is just trying to keep his friends close and Hillary closer, because if she is part of the administration, it would be kind of hard to shoot them down in two years when its to for her to run again.

So what if people are being picked from the former Clinton Administration? What is the problem with that?

Basically because during the Clinton Administration the World and Economy were on auto pilot. Then again we'll see won't we?

my point is if obama actually appoints these people from the clinton whitehouse to his cabinet he is not changing anything he was suppose to be the ultimate outsider and bring change, how is he suppose to bring change with 50 sacred washington cows telling how to do things? He is no different than any other politician, typical, typical, say one thing during the campaign to get elected then do whatever you want when you get elected. I'll grant that Obama is probably the smartest president of my lifetime (37 years), but if he doesnt leave himself the room to use his smarts, what good is it? I want to believe but seeing is believing!

I think you are all missing the point here. Read the link that goes with this post. See the geek hacker in the basement of a dingy room somewhere in America. The point is that the media were all fooled by this geek and ran with a story about Palin that was totally false! It's about what has happened to the media because of FCC deregulation- nothing to do with Obama or Clinton.. Memory Man on his quest to find something wrong with Obama, led you all down a pig trail.

Let's talk about the Patriots' defense on this post- It's probably more relevant than where everyone has been going here.
(Jeez!) :)

every party has a pooper. C'mon Charles they didn't even notice

Am I mistaken or didn't Bubba leave the defiect(sp) at zero ?O'bama may supposed to be an outsider but he's still wet behind the ears and did you really exspect things to be diffrent?
