Press Corps Mess-Up on Obama Meeting with Palestinians (Corrected)

*Patiently waiting for your post about John McCain demonstrating with his CBS interview once again that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to foreign policy.*

Be equitable. Understand both sides. Then we may get somewhere.

“Be equitable. Understand both sides. Then we may get somewhere.” Ben, how about both sides quit blowing each other up? That would be a good start. I know this common sense is just too radical an approach. The violence has to stop somewhere, cold turkey.

If you go to Rasmussen Daily today you’ll see that Obama’s “too inexperienced” label has gone UP four points since his trip began. It was at 41% a week ago. It’s now at 45%.

I, too, would like to see coverage of McCain’s factual error about the surge. His mistake suggests either that he just got mixed up again or, worse, that he completely doesn’t understand the history and events in the region. Foreign policy is supposed to be his area of expertise, so it should be worthy of some discussion.

Let’s see who am I speaking to at this moment. I will tell them exactly what they want to to hear. However when talking to the next group I will tell them exactly what they want to hear. Candidate of change? Sounds a lot like a typical politician to me. When are people going to learn he’s nothing but a mouthpiece who seems to do a lot of stammering and stuttering when he’s asked to clarify his many opinons often on one issue, its hard to get the story straight when you are trying to please everyone.

LOL
Here goes Obama trying to appeasing two nations at once.
He promised Israel one thing, Now back swims and changes his stance to appease
Palestinian.
Does he think Other nations Heads and Leaders are stupid?
Is he setting Up American for a Holy war.
He is promising Every one everything they want, and he can not ever get votes for it.
Is Obama Truly out of his mind?
I do not thinking foreign nations are go to be as stupid as some americans to fall for his line of crap.
He is proving he is untrustworthty.

I have to say I like McCain…was a huge fan of his for years…
with all of the push I do for Obama…I still have said that Mccain is a good guy…
the press release from his campaign today making the statements you refer to would seriously make me think twice about who McCain portrayed himself to be when I saw him speak a few times last year.
The comments from the McCain campaign about obama and his visit to Israel …are really really bad.
This is where you see Mccain that was on the trail last year carrying his own bags and the man who was on Meet the Press so many times over the past years…
is not in charge of his own campaign…
I don’t know if it’s athe “new John mcCain” or just that his lobbyist team or advisors and Scheunman.(who really is like a second rate scummier Karl Rove) has shoved an old man wanting to achieve his life-long goal of being President off to the side of the room while they take over his campaign.
In any case everyone should look hard at these latest comments coming from the McCain campaign…and rightfully should be disgusted.

Jeff – What we don’t get the full picture of is Palestinian suffering at the hands of the Israelis. We don’t see enough condemnation from our government with regards to the land grabbing for settlement building and Palestinian land demarcation. These things in my opinion give Hamas legitimacy. I know I stated common sense before, but it seems I need to go in to more detail, unfortunately.

McCain is untrustworthy, unable and undeserving of any serious consideration. He’s a Rove/Bush puppet who can’t remember the basic facts of … umm … what was I talking about?
Sorry, folks … I’m having a McCAIN MOMENT here …
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!

AFP, “Obama pays tribute to ‘miracle’ of Israel”:
“The Haaretz daily ran a blunt headline: ‘Obama visiting Israel to impress Jewish voters not Israelis.’”

rasmussen is the hannity poll
that is why fox uses it every day and no other for the past 5 years
that same rasmussen poll has Obama again winning (surpirise surprise for a rasmussen poll…lol)
and it has Mccain almost equal to obama on the economy…which is a joke when you compare to almost every other poll…
banking on rasmussen (who if you knew anything about polls would realize how flawed their system is)
is a tactic that won’t help mccain see where he is in reality.

mccain’s flip flops:
for immigration reform before he was against it.
against bush’s tax cuts before he was for them.
against overturning roe v. wade before he was for it.
against “agents of intolerance” like jerry falwell before he was for them.
… and the hits just keep coming.
mccain: like bush, only older.

In every conflict there are winners and losers. The winners make money from the spoils of war and never have to face the loss of a child in the fight. Their profits provide protection for their elite lifestyle. Meanwhile, the losers are the families not rich enough to keep their children from the front lines. The winners will do anything and say anything to keep the fight going and the revenue flowing. Obama jeopardizes the flow of revenue. Thus he is being portrayed by McCain and his fellow Republicans as “the worst thing that could happen to America.” I am always baffled by politicians. They cannot do anything in Washington to resolve our problems at home, but they always have the “solutions” for others.

Forgive me, but Obama says one thing to the Israelis (undivided Jerusalem) and a day later another to the Palestinians (meant to say whatever the parties negotiate)?
It will be interesting to see who Obama turns out to be if he is elected president, as the MS Media seems to want so much.

The Elephant in Obama’s Room:
When has Obama faced a character-defining moment in his life?
When has he ever faced a challenge?
All we have to judge him by are his ever changing positions – his flip flops.
Voters will not choose an “empty suit” – no matter how attractive the packaging.

“If Obama voted against FISA, John McCain would have pounced on it saying he was soft on security.”

“When has Obama faced a character-defining moment in his life?”

McCain has has thirty years in Congress to do “Something”. He is still talking and not resolving anything.

Belle…no sweetie, he defined himself totally when he gave up a lucritive career to work for $10,000 a year in the projects in Chicago to get health care and fair housing for the poor.

I’d vote for having no President over McCain. The guy is still trying to justify Vietnam — an undeclared, illegal war — plus sell himself as a war hero when his most notable action there was to get shot down, then captured. He’s hardly’a war hero like Audie Murphy or Alvin York who didn’t use legitimate wartime heroics for political gain.

Senator Obma’s trip is something like a traveling circus and Obama is the main clown. It would be funny if not for the fact, he is using taxpayers dollars and represententing our government. This man is a joke and a dud. No experience, intergity and judgment.

Mary this part of the trip is not taxpayers money.
get your facts straight.

Are the Palestinians buying this “reporter” story?

BUNCH OF SEXIST BOZO BULL:
“Belle…no sweetie, he defined himself totally when he gave up a lucritive career to work for $10,000 a year in the projects in Chicago to get health care and fair housing for the poor. ”
_______(snip)___
He gave up NOTHING! He Never gives up ANYTHING unless it suits his political needs.
You remember the NEW YORKER cover which got several of you perturbed a week or two ago?
Well INSIDE the cover…. is this great wonderful full coverage of Obama through all his political stabbings and slammings of his friends .. and foes in his scrambling to the top of the political dirt heap!
In one election….. Obama got rid of ALL of his competitors in one swell foop!!
He is green enough to be slimey!
His long term associations with unsavory compadres are questionable!
HE is Cocky enough to be dangerous!
Obama should be treated with particular Caution…not political passion.

If there was an interview, good or bad, and McCain made yet another error, then shouldn’t it be covered. We are trying to elect a president here, not a puppet. Cover the news as it happens and allow the American people to come to their own conclusions. Since when is reporting editorialized? Anything thing less than fair and open news coverage is news censorship and violates the trust of the American viewer.
