Um, it's called EDITING. McCain's interview was 14 minutes. How long was obama's. Of course they don't show the whole thing.
All interviews are edited, but did they post an answer from Obama onto a separate, unrelated question from Katie Couric to make him look better? This is the issue--not run of the mill editing, and I have never seen an interview conducted or broadcast this way before.
Color me skeptical (which I understand to be a lighter shade of Muslim), but I feel like we would have heard about such an incident from a few of our level-headed, well-informed conservative posters.
I guess the silence on this thread is due to those same posters trying to figure out how FLAMING LIBRUL Katie Couric would do such a thing for John McCain, a man whom we all know has always had a difficult time getting his point of view out into the mainstream media.
Hmm.. Joe Scarborough calling people stupid doesn't tell me that CBS mixed and matched Obama's answers to Katie's completely different questions to make him look good, which is what I was asking happened.

Any twist and spin that Keith Oberman (sp?) puts on any "story" is not worth the time it takes to put him on the air to begin with. I watched this clip with my head spinning. What a jerk.
I was blown away this morning when even Harold Ford (D) supported Joe Scarborough's assertion that this was all a non-issue and merely a cover-up so people wouldn't talk about Barack's stubborn stand about the surge even at a time when both sides are now acknowledging its success.
Frankly it scares me, and it should scare everyone, that Mr. Obama cannot even today admit that the surge has worked, that he wouldn't have been able to stand on Iraqi soil without it, and that on this particular issue at least he was wrong.
Bur Mr. Obama can't admit he's wrong about anything. Isn't this the very trait that so many Democrats criticized Bush for? A leader has to be willing and able to accept that perhaps, just maybe, they they were wrong in their approach and shift their position.
Barack, perhaps because of his youth or his arrogance or perhaps just his inexperience, simply can't do that.
His denial makes him look like a total fool. His discounting of our troops in the surge as a "secondary" factor to success makes him look really, really bad.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he explicitly credit the troops during the interview for reducing the violence in Iraq?
