The So-Called "Liberal Media"

There is nothing better than turning on Limbaugh, Hannity, and Levin on the radio, tuning on to Fox News and watching these righties squirm over the election of President-Elect Barack Obama. Since this victory, all of these news mediums have stated quite clearly that the "liberal" media is responsible for Obama's victory. Like Obama wasn't attacked constantly from Hillary Clinton to John McCain.

Remember Bill Ayers? Obama is a Muslim? Michelle Obama is a racist? Obama has no experience, he is just a community organizer? Obama is not really a U.S. citizen? Remember the "terrorist fist jab"? ACORN? Obama the Marxist? There a just too many to list. And what if Obama were the one who stated that the fundamentals of the economy are strong? What if Obama had sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"? What if Obama had suspended his campaign in the midst of an economic crisis?

I have to give Shepard Smith of Fox News credit here for finally speaking the truth. Do not get caught up in partisan talk shows, this includes Olberman and Maddow. Step back and really look back at the presidential campaign; whose election was it to lose really? And who ran a more effective campaign?

Alaska Senate Race Tightens

Convicted felon Ted Stevens lost the lead today in the race for the Alaska senate seat to Mark Begich. Leading for some 3,000 votes for over a week, the lead was cut down and eventually turned into a mere three vote deficit for Stevens. As of November 12, 2008, the vote stands at 125,019 to 125,016.

Bush Regrets "Mission Accomplished"

Yesterday, Bush told CNN's Heidi Collins that he regretted some of things he said and did over the last eight years. Among them, speaking in front of a "Mission Accomplished" sign aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003.

Bush still misses the point, however; his regret is speaking in front of the sign, not what was said in front of the sign. He regrets what speaking in front of the sign conveyed, but does not seem to regret, again, what was said in front of the sign.

The first words to leave his lips on that day, right after "My fellow Americans", were, "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended." Have they Mr. President? Do you regret, today, stating these words one month after troops are deployed and almost six years later they are still there? Since that day more than 4,000 Americans have lost their lives in battle and 152,669 veterans filed disability claims after fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Is your regret still simply speaking in front of a "Mission Accomplished" sign, or do you regret lying, with your words, to the American people?
