MSM hammering home the issues

Yesterday’s big news was earth shattering.

-Sarah Palin spends too much on wardrobe – $150,000.  My comment, how does that stack up against $150,000,000 election campaign contributions raised and will be spent per month by Obama.

-Joe Biden just cannot get anything right.  He really is in a spot.  When he tells the truth – Obama has no foreign affairs experience and might be taken advantage of by foreign governments after his election – he gets attacked by the media.  When he spins out of control on an unfamiliar topic – like the duties of the VP during the Palin debate – he just spins some fantasy that sounds good – Cheney grabbing more power, everyone loves to hate Cheney.  Poor Joe, go hide in Delaware with your friends.

The World economy is reacting very poorly to this subprime mortgage crisis and seems to be heading into a severe recession.  Oil prices are crashing with the economy and now OPEC talks about cutting back on production.  Talk about someone get to eat their cake and keep it too.  When demand is strong OPEC believes in letting the price ride with full elasticity.  When demand is poor, OPEC wants to artificially manipulate supply to prop up the price.  Amazing.

Neither candidate has a good solution for our economic woes so MSM focuses on the campaign bickering.  This really isn’t a criticism of either candidate.  The economic issues are very complex and one might even blame our current ‘immediate gratification’ mindset for most of the problems.

Just how far is it?

The distance from Siberia to Alaska is approximately 125 miles.
The Democrats and MSM have made hay with Palin’s comment
about Russia out her back window for weeks now.
The distance from Cuba to Key West is approximately 94 miles.
JFK almost started WW3 over that distance.
I guess it is all about size, 31 miles is a long way if you are a
member of the MSM looking for a reason to justify a personal
attack.
I was only about 14 then and I do not remember any personal
attacks on JFK by the MSM because he was inexperienced or
short-sighted.  I do not remember any sarcastic comments
demeaning his character and judgment.  When I search for
information now I cannot find comments in history books or
archives which demean JFK because he thought that missiles
in Cuba were too close to the USA.
I do not live in Washington or NYC so I guess I just cannot
understand this high level issues.  Kind of reminds me of
high school when the incrowd said something and everyone
just nodded and believed them, well not everyone.
