It would be interesting to be present at any commentary,if any, he might deign to offer. Pity that you are doomed to tag along for the ride on what ever journey these so-called know-nothing voters deem fit to take you. Those self-same incompetents supporting HIM will be responsible for seeing to it that he prevails, it he be thus fortunate. Sans same, the die would be most irrevocably cast against you.

Four years ago, despite compelling evidence that they’d made a mistake, they chose that same candidate again. The result has been eight years of lies, incompetence and criminal behavior that has shredded our Constitution, ravaged our economy, devastated our reputation. Because the next president will likely appoint two or three Justices to the Supreme Court, those same know-nothing voters will not only determine our country’s future for the next four or eight years, but for a generation or more. That’s enough of a reason to bar them from the voting booth.

I do not expect you to agree with this comparison but fortunately, our freedom to express our opinions yet remains free your biased judgement.

It serves to remind me that things are seldom what they seem in life. However, your historical record detailing Obama's 'one-on-one's might be pathognomonic of an obsession of your own. Not withstanding your conclusions, my comments on journalistic scrunity comes directly from members of the camp whose statistics you are keeping and who still perceive him as an enigma whose position on many keys issues important to a sitting president are yet undefined. Brokaw,in that you cite him, for example, observed this very evening, that Obama's 'world view' is yet unknown. These, and others like it, with respect to your candidate, are indeed, VERY IMPORTANT MATTERS to me. Do not consider it an obsession nor a matter deleteriouis to my health.

Your preoccupation with my suggestion to bar ignorant, uninformed citizens from voting is now bordering on an obsession. I hope it doesn't affect your health -- or divert your attention from REALLY IMPORTANT matters. 2. To imply that Obama has dodged "journalistic scrutiny" is to ignore the fact that he's been examined and scrutinized by the public for the past TWO YEARS, and along the way, has been the subject of these one-on-one interviews: Meet The Press: 5/4/08, with Russert 7/27/08, with Brokaw Face The Nation 12/23/07 9/28/08 ABC Nightly News 7/23/08 10/8/08 10/29/08 Fox (O'Reilly) 9/4/08 Countdown, with Keith Olbermann 3/14/08 Plus appearances on Hannity & Colmes, Anderson Cooper (CNN) and the countless debates during the Primaries and now the General Election. I'd say he's submitted himself to the scrutiny of journalists AND the public. He couldn't have come this far if he had not. 1.

2. To imply that Obama has dodged “journalistic scrutiny” is to ignore the fact that he’s been examined and scrutinized by the public for the past TWO YEARS, and along the way, has been the subject of these one-on-one interviews:

Meet The Press:
5/4/08, with Russert
7/27/08, with Brokaw

Face The Nation
12/23/07
9/28/08

ABC Nightly News
7/23/08
10/8/08
10/29/08

Fox (O’Reilly)
9/4/08

Countdown, with Keith Olbermann
3/14/08

Plus appearances on Hannity & Colmes, Anderson Cooper (CNN) and the countless debates during the Primaries and now the General Election.

I’d say he’s submitted himself to the scrutiny of journalists AND the public.

He couldn’t have come this far if he had not.

That's fodder for Steve Levine's disenfranchised electorate. History eventually speaks to all of that. To date, Obama has yet to submit himself to the one on one scrunity of capable journalists in the same fashion as most of the people he's run against. It's a sensible and clever approach to campaigning and one which thinking people of both persuasions can appreciate.
