Obama has been given a free pass by the media.

you must've tuned-out during the Rev. Wright marathon earlier this year

It's a PRESS RELEASE that has the actual economists' statement with the names of the signatories.

How the heck can you make an informed decision on who to vote for if you refuse to look at the facts?

Senator Obama has done nothing wrong, just because he knows those people doesn't mean he shares their views. If you read what I wrote you will understand that these types of people make up the fabric of America. Not everyone loves what this country stands for. Obama is an open minded individual, it takes someone like him to recognize the good, bad, and ugly and not distance from it. You especially cannot do that if you want to be a fair representation of ALL THE PEOPLE!

So is John McCain only going to pal around with the few who think this country is perfect and shun the ones who have genuine issues with it??? Does he not have a mind of his own to figure what is right and wrong for himself, and work to fix what he comes to understand is wrong? C'mon time to awaken from your slumber! Go to the ghetto, the barrio, get in touch with the American people who are seriously in pain, dead ended, struggling to make ends meet.

You didn't read the economists' statement, did you? There's over 300 signatures on the economists' statement endorsing McCain's economic plan (July press release), and that number is up to 530 now according to The Economist.

How many economists have endorsed Obama's economic plan? You don't even know, do you?

Ok, I will look at your press release and do my own little research on what party affiliation the supporters are coming from. I will make up my mind on that accordingly, but I wonder if the plan even came from him being that he has openly admitted that he agrees with Bush on everything!

I feel that he is now a puppet and if someone else is writing these proposals and trying to create a false sense of who this man is, then I can't trust him! He is trying to reform his own ideas right in the broad of daylight, like we are idiots and will forget that he has said that he was in lock step with Bush and said it proudly! Has said that he doesn't understand the economy, has said too many things to believe anything new coming out of his own mouth right now!

So, Obama's economic plan has a list of 26 economists and the author of an article who isn't even an economist - compared to the 530 economists that endorse McCain's economic plan. Got it.
