Debate Disgrace
With the Democratic nominee at stake I wanted the Pennsylvania debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would be an exciting spectacle. The debate was full dumb questions asked by former Bill Clinton advisor, George Stephanopoulos, about why Mr. Obama did not wear an American flag pin on his suit. We know where Stephanopoulos's bias was. Obama's association with a minister, who was critical of American policies, was also a big concern. The interesting parts of debates are usually the exchange of numerous ideas that provide the American public about which candidate believes what, not whether or not they are unpatriotic because they wont wear a pin. Also the moderators got to the "most important questions of the general public" by like question 16. Should questions for debates be screened prior to airing on national television? Should Barack Obama be criticized for little "unpatriotic details" or should the media be shamed and called disgusting Obama attackers?

THE MEDIA SHOULD BE SHAMED FOREVER AFTER THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Sure they give publicity, but if it's publicity due to wondering if Obama is "black enough" is not good press. The poor media is hurting their reputation by asking such stupid questions!
Also, George Sephanopoulos finally asked about the economy in question 15 or 16...he also stated that the economy was the most important issue currently...WHY WASN'T IT THE FIRST QUESTION THAN? George Sephanopoulos and his little partner in crime just took my disappointment in the media over the edge.
