Story is an interview with Obama with him projecting what the attacks will be about that he may face in the upcoming election. There will be attacks against Obama that will not be based on his record or experience and he is getting ready to defend himself. It would be nice if the election focused on issues since we are faced with huge problems and not on unsubstantiated attacks that the media will parrot.

I rarely pay much attention nor put much trust toward the corporate media but how much damage can a one-on-one interview with Obama do .... I wondered. It was a nice "freshman" interview introducing Obama to the newly awaken electorate American populace.

A straightforward recount of Obama's interview with Brian Williams.

This story out of MSNBC - generally pro-Obama - doesn't tell us anything we don't know already about the sliming techniques of the post Reagan GOP. What saddens me is not that the Swift Boat techniques are still employed, it is that they are still effective. Reminds me of P.T. Barnum. A poor commentary on the lack of interest by so many Americans in obtaining accurate information about our country and our world. It is not a crime to be a political troglodyte, but it is a crime to be a political ignoramus -- a crime for which we all do the time.
