Manipulated Manipulators

It is OLD HAT politics. Rhetoric, rhetoric, rhetoric. It just saddens me that the msm are so easily manipulated.

The Corruptlicans were attempting to defuse this trip's press far before Obama's plane left the ground. It will not work though--I audaciously hope--because of the juxtaposition of Obama as a leader on the world stage and McCain joking about bombing Iran.

McCain is acting like the surge is his Holy Grail, and the msm just lap it up, probably fantasizing about the baby-back ribs that they will be wolfing down at his ranch. It seems like when the Republican pundits begin WHINING about the liberal media, it is code to the msm to begin bashing Obama.

McSame's approach is warmed up Clinton camp leftovers.

I must say though, the lecture by McCain on "the surge" in front of the CHEESE isle had me and my boys rolling on the floor laughing. CHEEEEEEEEZE indeed! Then the next photo op for the McCain camp--The Fudge Haus! Appropriate when you listen to McCain's revisionist history on Iraq! This is the best that his campaign could come up with as Obama is speaking to 200,000+ about the importance of international team work. Okkkkkk...

What really cracks me up is listening to the pundits squirm. A couple of days ago I actually heard a pundit say that, (paraphrased here), like Bush, he (Obama) runs a great campaign, but you don't know what you are going to get as a leader! Wow. When the republicans are putting up their own party's president as a rationale to diminish a presidential candidate, now that smacks of real desperation! Couple that with the fact that the Republicans are running from the McSame claim. All I can say is, wow.

Many would say that the msm are the manipulators not the manipulated and I would agree to an extent; however whenever pundits start barking about the liberal media, they all get their undies in a bunch and begin "proving" that they are not biased. I have seen it happen again and again. Manipulated manipulators. If you couple that with the corporate check signers, and the fact that the AP president is practically high-fiving Rove. Yeah, sometimes it is hard to tell who is jerking the string and who is the dancing puppet. However, I would argue that it is the media dancing on the same string McCain’s dancing on--moneyed interests; the corporate sponsors. This is why Obama is not only competing with the McCain Camp, but also with the corporate monocorrespondent voiced media. It is a battle on two fronts, and though he needs to schmooze--to a certain extent--I would argue that he should have a multitude Jedi journalists on the ready to come back at their monotone mantras. Here are some of my ideas:

Republicans borrow and spend.
McCain wants to pay for the debt--No American tax dollars benefit Americans!
America's been left in debt--again
American dollars should serve Americans
They send our jobs overseas; they spend our dollars overseas

I understand that Obama is trying to run a different kind of campaign, and indeed he has; however I do believe that we are shadow boxing the corporations of America through the punditry and the msn. We need to put them in their place by beating them at their own game. I believe that the audacity of hope can shift to the audacity of truth and reveal the msm for the manipulated manipulators they are.
