Because I do attempt to be fully informed, not one of those "emotional Negroes" as the media continues to attempt to define any African American who supports Senator Obama, I decided to watch at least part of the Senator McCain interview by George Stephanopoulis on ABC This Week. It was painful to watch a man who stuttered, sputtered and misspoke in an attempt to control his emotions (aka, temper) unsuccessfully masked behind a really odd smile throughout the interview. He inadvertently said that he would increase the taxes of the general population -- in all fairness, I think he meant decrease, but when you run for the office of president should you be allowed to misspeak on such an important issue? Personally, after listening to him, I find the idea of him as a president of this country kind of scary. But let's put that aside for a second. He went to great lengths in attacking Senator Obama concerning Ayers, in another guilt by association attempt to besmirch him, even though Senator Obama was eight years old when Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground Ayers lives in the same neighborhood as Obama and was on the same board once. I am still not clear as to why Senator Obama is to be held responsible for that. But George Stephanopoulis had done his homework. After McCain's tirade about the purported Obama - Ayers connection, George then asked him to explain how this was any different from Pastor John Hagee, an influential minister who has endorsed McCain and his anti-Catholic comments. McCain has embraced this endorsement, yet we don't see any repeated loops on CNN, NBC, Fox News of these comments and this has been all but buried as a news item. Yet McCain has not distanced himself from this endorsement at all, he hasn't rejected it, his response on ABC This Week was "I don't agree with his comments," followed by a sarcastic "But thanks, for asking." How hypocritical of him. More than that, how hypocritical of the media for not giving this the same level of coverage as given Minster Wright. Wonder why?
