The Media love Obama

Yes, they sure do. That's why, when McCain makes a tiny 3-market ad buy with the ludicrously cynical claim that Obama intentionally snubbed the troops during his international tour, opting instead to go to the gym, all the major news organizations ignore him entirely.

Or not.

CNN, not bothering to fact-check:

Sen. John McCain's campaign lashed out at Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday for canceling a visit to an American military base in Germany on Thursday.

"The most solemn duty of a commander in chief is to fulfill his responsibility to the men and women who serve this country in uniform," retired Lt. Col. Joe Reypya, speaking on behalf of the McCain, said in a statement. "Barack Obama ... broke that commitment, instead flitting from one European capital to the next."

And in a McCain ad that began airing Saturday, Obama is chided for making "time to go to the gym" instead of visiting with wounded troops.


Yep, I'm sure that ad is running nonstop on the networks. Best $10 the McCain campaign ever spent!

Let me get this right.
McCain is saying that it is OK to use American wounded for political props. Lord knows he has used his enough. Maybe McCain should actually start talking about what he would do a president instead of the typical BUSH attack campaigning

I once respected John McCain, but now I consider him to be nothing but the lowest scumbag. He knew good and well that it was the Pentagon who asked Obama to cancel his visit. Obama agreed. He did what he considered the right thing and now he is being vilified by the criminals who put those poor troops in the hospital. I wonder how long it took Karl Rove to devise this revolting machination? I was hoping that McCain would attempt to pull the GOP out of the sewer, but he seems to be conent to wallow in the same crap. Or perhaps he is just a desperate man. He certainly doesn't have anything to offer us but more lies and deceit.
