					<description>The synopsis for this piece, which I admit is useful and interesting for media wonks,  claims that "Leadership proves to be Obama’s Achilles’ heel."

And now, Ladies and Gentlemen,  here is the "proof" of this "fact" which Media tenor, via Media Channel, serves up to you:

"TV coverage of the Democratic nomination continues to focus on campaigning and leadership issues – which more and more evolve into Obama’s Achilles’ heel."

Get it?  Because Hillary has been pounding away in her campaign with this absurd claim, and because the corporate media has become more favorable in its coverage towards her, what you are served up on your television is now a "fact" which now "more and more evolve(s) into Obama’s Achilles’ heel."  

The only thing which gets left out of this equation, of course, is any sense of actual reality, a reality which is increasingly clear to anyone who has carefully listened to and observed Clinton, McCain and Obama.  This is the fact that during the campaign, not to mention in his prior life as far back as we know it,  Obama is the ONLY one of the three candidates who stays focused, keeps his cool and never gets rattled under pressure.  Last I knew, that was the very definition of a strong leader.  Compare this with McCain, whose reputation for blowing up under pressure is legend, and Clinton, whose idea of leadership is recalling how she went scurrying across the tarmac under sniper fire, or perhaps how her endless rounds of tea as the wife of Bill translated into changing world events. 

 I think that someone at Media Channel, which promises to run more of this drivel from Media tenor, or Media tenor, which views corporate driven propaganda as reality, should explain how this sleazy piece of propaganda, buttressed by useful data in its own right, made it onto Media Channel in the form that it did. I thought the entire premise of Media Channel was looking behind the propaganda of our corporate media, not simply reinforcing its message.</description>

					<description>The following paragraphs are an excerpt from one of my freelance articles entitled, A Voice Crying within the Modern Day Wilderness To Make the Winding Forks Straight, published on my blog, Reaching for the Stars:

New York Senator Hillary Rodman Clinton’s call for Barrack Obama to severe ties with Reverend Jeremiah Wright's ministry(http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&#38;cl=7128851&#38;ch=4226716&#38;src=news ) is akin to placing Senator Obama in a political position similar to social dynamics encountered by the Apostle Peter as Peter sit with a band of stragglers around a camp fire crackling and burning in the dark, in the middle of the night, shortly after Roman soldiers arrested Jesus. The Apostle Peter publicly denied he knew Jesus three times after questioning by several stragglers just as Jesus prophesied Peter would do.

White Caucasian American Christians should participate in a thought experiment by asking themselves a searing soul searching question. The question is phrased as such, if after I die and stand before the gates of heaven and Jesus proves to be a black man will I accept an invitation to dine at His table in the House of the Lord forever? Likewise, black African American Christians should ponder the question: If after I die and stand before the gates of heaven and Jesus proves to be a white man will I accept an invitation to dine at His table in the House of the Lord forever?</description>

					<description>This is no different then the rest of the popular media sources. Who cares about the above three canadites who are just mirror images of each other. Shouldn't your website do its job and report on those things the media refuses to report on, like Ralph Nader for instance.</description>

					<description>I never understood why the media were so smitten with Obama.

He Can Talk the Talk 
But Has Anyone Ever Seen Him Walk the Walk?

Phil Linehan - 13 March 2008

On throwing his hat into the ring Obama felt he must give voters a good reason
why they should think of him as the man for every season. 
His Swahili name, he boasts, signifies one blessed by a God Almighty.
To make us love him can he be hinting it’s the one called Aphrodite?

To elderly Jewish ladies, when he wanted it’s origin to describe.
he said it was a Hebrew name, could it be from a Lost Tribe? 
No need to explain the background of his second name Hussein, 
which was very seldom heard as he embarked on his campaign.
 
He feels that, to be fair, he must give every ethnic group its place,
and he leaves no stone unturned as he covers every base.
So, as to reach out to those of every background he desperately seeks, 
why have we not heard as yet any mention of the Greeks?

He says his U.S. family is connected to a Native American forebear
although exactly to which one he did not. I believe, declare.
To present himself as an African-American he has also managed to contrive.
but is one allowed to ask in which slave ship did his ancestors arrive?

One talent he does have and that no-one can refute
is his ability to talk the talk in a way that’s most astute.
His gift of the gab with which he would us all beguile
can only be inherited from the O’Bamas in what is called the Emerald Isle.

So there he stands before us, he who claims to be Everyman
as we wonder when we’ll hear he has relations in Japan.
Why is it that whenever on TV he stood up and spoke
all I could see on the screen were his mirrors and his smoke?

The captivated press guys punched their laptops and set their emails humming
as they wrote of Barack Obama as they would the Second Coming. 
And they lauded him as a potential saviour of the nation
oblivious, it would seem, he was a Messiah of their very own creation.

With his smooth talk he mesmerized many a TV talking head
and few, if any, complained about the pap they were being fed.
As he claimed he’d ban donations from special interests and lobbyists as well, 
on the cash they gave to his campaign the reporters did not dwell.

One thing he supports wholeheartedly, is what he calls free trade
yet he swears that, if elected, he will tear up every agreement ever made.
What he believes is trade that’s free, we should not be at all surprised
is flooding foreign markets with U.S. goods that are heavily subsidized.

He furiously rants against two-way trade with Mexico and Canada 
and swears he will stop their exports if he becomes the Big Enchilada.
With a wink an aide told the Canadian Ambassador it was one of his boss’s jokes
meant to appease complaining Ohio workers whom Obama calls “the folks”.

If to look at his government’s trade figures he had only taken the trouble
he would see that since NAFTA U.S. exports to Mexico are double.
So if he is ever in a position to give the trade agreement opt out order
the loudest cheers will be heard from south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

His friendship with Tony Resko, charged with money laundering and extortion
has been, he claims, by critics blown out of all proportion.
On talk about his land deal with fraudster Nadhmi Auchi he hopes to put a brake
by saying buying his Chicago mansion from him was a “boneheaded mistake”.

How many more boneheaders may we expect will be revealed,
when diggers begin to search for any that so far may have been concealed? 
If media talking heads and scribblers tried to analyze what Obama has to say
they would realize it has the same substance as a sad collapsed soufflé.</description>

					<description>The race card gets played - big surprise.  
Now let's see just how racist the country is.  The war in Iraq, the faltering economy and the lack of a healthcare system were supposedly the big issues but now it's back to letting ourselves be manipulated by the media with divisive issues.  Karl Rove has moved behind the curtain, but he's still there. What about global warming?  What about all the lies Bush Co has told.  What about $4/gallon gas and the oil companies massive profits.
WAKE UP AMERICA - we are being led over the cliff!</description>

					<description>First off, I am a member of a church that I dont agree with all of my pastors political opinions.  When we disagree, I tell him so, we agree to disagree, thats how this world works.  Second off, how does that compare to the fact that Clinton outright lied about supporting NAFTA, a plan that has completely demolished our working class.  No way, let Obama sit in whatever church he chooses to sit in, at least he isn't lying to us about his past decisions.</description>

					<description>Well we know the Clinton's do anything or body to get elected that does not make her a whore just a despicable person. Obama has got to stay focused and not come across as a wimp as he has over the discovery his long long time buddy and adviser is percived as an extremest at best and a hater at worst. Remember he has to stand up to an impossible standard while Hillery can enable Billy the Goat in his satyriasis. 
Since when does a preacher trump a spouse?
Meanwhile the economy is tanked and Bushes banker butt buddies are getting bailed while the people who are paying for this fun are being evicted. Candidates aside there seem to be more whores in the press bus.</description>
