None of them insisted on covering

a Christian symbol, so it seems this president is extra concerned with appearances when it comes to Muslims, was my point. One would expect a US president to object to speaking in front of a swastika (or to be seen as endorsing what it stands for) or some other symbol of hatred but to give a Christian symbol at a Catholic university that classification, especially when he says he is a Christian, is mystifying.

Saddam insisted on euros for Iraq's oil. sm
About six months to a year before 911 happened, Saddam started insisting on payments for their oil in Euros instead of dollars. This did damage to the dollar. The US was furious. I remember Bush Sr. making the comment the American way of life is non-negotiable or something like that.
Covering the coverage
Just watch it before you judge anything. All this stuff can be easily checked for accuracy. The question one needs to ask him/herself is: "how accurately and fairly is my station of choice covering this stuff?"
It seems awfully odd that the 3 celebs from the alphabet stations couldn't get on that European/Middle East tour fast enough, yet McCain has been over to Iraq (and elsewhere) multiple times. None of them have gone along. How can that possibly be objective? Don't all of you want objectivity?
And why no debates between the 2 yet? McCain has been asking for months. Is that what you really want for a potential President?
Take your voting preference out of the mix before you answer these questions to yourself. If you allow the above, you aren't demanding true and unbiased information. Remember, there's a big difference between a news "reporter" and one who gives his/her opinions. There should never be a blurry line between the 2.
Convention Dishonesty
They are covering the news....(sm)
That's what they do. LOL.... Palin is the one asking for these interviews. So if Palin wants to speak out and is offering to be in the news, what's your problem with that?
The reason is because FL insisted on moving up the primary, despite being told NOT to. nm

Noticed Fox covering mostly, others ignoring
for the most part. From what I noticed on Fox the crowd seems to be extremely small. Some talk on Huffingtonpost about tea bags not being able to be dumped where they wanted them to go and now truck driving around with all those bags. I think this was mostly a big to do about nothing really.
So only "real" news outlets are covering
??
Foreign investors. China and Russia insisted on Fannie Mac bail out.
