A Fox News reporter tries to get this Pennsylvanian man to contradict what Obama said but the funny thing was that he agrees with Obama!

Fox news' sole mission in life is to try and destroy Obama. The place is filled with Obama haters. Even some of the Fox News people have got upset over the anti Obama bias there. And then they wonder why he won't walk into their trap and come on!

Admittedly I don't speak to a lot of people, but, at the end of the interview, the gentleman said what I myself and everyone else I talk to opine: Senator Obama is interesting and intelligent - and his latest comments, which indeed probably do reflect reality for many in fallen industry-based communities, have no bearing on this positive view of him -, but in the end we will probably all vote for Senator McCain anyway, whether because one is ex military or due to fears over taxation policy and even more government spending or whatever.

CNN does the same. They go over and over and over things that Obama said, like they have a tiger by the tail and can't let go.

Why must the government fix everything when there is a perfectly good tool that will fix everything? Are blacks still down on the plantation expecting the good massta to tend to their every need? Are red-necks too lazy to do any thang but chew tebaccy and spit?

A relative of mine is a banker, last night without color in his tone, he was lamenting the number of people who come to his bank "expecting" to borrow money for a new car, a new televisision, etc. When asked what they do for a living, many would say, "I draw a chick (government check)."

Are we to a point in our history where we can no longer expect the poor to do what is in their best interests? When do we allow the free-market instead of the government to decide again?

I am "bitter" because I work my butt off and have to work from January to May to pay the taxes levied against my income.

you means allow the Greenspans to "free market" ??? are you insane???

Look how China has bettered the yanks at capitalism; free market means all Americans will be getting checks coz all american goods will be made by Slaves in Sri lanka for a $1 a day......

which of course is less than government checks

Look at the reporter's face as he answers... At first it sounds like he is saying "No" to Pennsylvanians being bitter. Her face beams with delight. And when he says "They are definitely bitter" it looks like she had just seen a puppy get hit by a car.
