The starting point of the review is the claim by Bill Clinton that the media is giving Obama a "free ride" and the "fairy tale" on his judgement and it gets lost right away. The remaining points of the article focus on the Clintons, votes and statements on the Iraq War. Given, from the media, we only have Obama and his stance on the War to compare to, it is pretty clear cut - he was right on the war and she was not. There may have been lies and lack of investigation by the media on the run up to the war, but it was her responsibility to see through the fog from the White House like Obama did, and she did not. That does not eliminate the charge that the media, including this author is giving Obama a "free ride" in this campaign. Frankly all the candidates are having a "free ride". Paul is not asked how America looks when the IRS is gone. Huckabee is not quizzed on his national sales tax, Rommey is not held up on his government needs to be run like a business (outsourcing?) and why it is better that way. No - we get how inspirational a candidate is... or how conservative they are... or how out of touch or if they cry. The media is letting the American people down in the coverage of the issues and the stands of the candidates. This opinion piece sums up the medias focus on the "fluff" of politics rather than hold up the need for accountability of the needs of the nation. The candidates posture for a reason - because they know the media holds the "E" ticket for them when they do.
