Good article.
Speaking of Obama Plane, I came across a company based in Floriday which is producing an exact 1:150 scale replica of the Barack Obama Campaign Airplane. Pretty creative. Huh.
I believe their site is http://www.obamaplane.com.

Actually, on top of that list is Obama. Get a clue.

I'm voting for McCain because I know I will keep my job and keep my business, for me and for my family. Obama is against my doing this, which doesn't serve me any amount of good, nor does it serve America. I will vote for the President who will serve me and serve America, and the top on that list is John McCain.

Obama walks a tightrope. The Faux News and others are merely waiting for some false step, as does the GOP. Better to make a mistake or more *in* office, than to make one that keeps him *out* of office.

Based purely on his communications abiilities as shown in various limited exposures, I would say that he will be very open as President. He'll have to be if he expects to have the full support of all Americans for what will be a hard pull ahead. He will be under pressures from every side to set an agenda, help constituent groups, and save both the economy and America's place in the world. If he is not a great communicator, who gets the message out and then leads the charge, then he will fail, just as his predecessor, but faster. I suspect his message will soon change from hope, to hope with details, and one major detail wil be sacrifice.

I am an 82 yr old retired business man. I am amazed at the coolness of this man under fire. And the team he orginized to fight this campain. He is not like anyone we have had in a long time and many do not appreciate his talent. He knows how to select the best person for the job in order to get it done. If you don't believe me just look around you . If he is elected he will make the kind of manager I would want heading my business.

I think he has done a great job with the press.
A president must not be too common.
He should be opened when it is necessary.
At the same time He cannot go and hide in the Bunker in the White House.

“and speak more frankly and often to the members of the “media filter” if he’s to govern effectively.” – You mean like George Bush? What are you saying, that reporters will be mean to him in hard times if he doesn't shell out access? 'Mean', like you dolts were to Bush? Ooooh, scary! Are you saying you would have given Bush a free pass if he would have been nicer to his press corps early on? What is this lame article about anyway? Bush's approval ratings soared after 9/11 because of the media, not in spite of it. Where were you assess when 70,000 people marched against the war in my town? I'll tell you where, 40 miles away surrounding 12 drunken vets supporting the war on an overpass, then the media said our numbers were about 1% of the truth. Get over yourself, you suck.

You said you spent considerable time traveling with both candidates but only reviewed Obama's press relations. What about McCains? You only reported half the picture. Is this the media again showing onesided reporting?

No, it was the other way around. The media ignored Bush after his approval ratings went up after 9/11.

The media went along, and got along, while Bush ran roughshod over our democratic institutions and got us in to another Viet Nam.

We don't need a filter, we need a window. You've utterly failed to open it. Obama is right to ignore you people.
