Tim Dickinson penned this article for Rolling Stone:

Obama had millions of followers eager to fight for his agenda. But the president muzzled them - and he's paying the price

Not true! Muzzled who? So I read on....

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4

These words rang in my hearing when I heard the news today that Kay Yow lost her 2 decade battle with breast cancer.

For those of you who may have never heard of Kay Yow, a brief bio:
Kay Yow was the Head Coach of the North Carolina State Women's Basketball team. Yow coached for an unprecedented 34 seasons. Unprecedented, not for the longevity, but because for 20 of those years she coached those young ladies on something more than the game of basketball, she taught them how to fight. You see, Kay Yow was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 and had a partial radical mastectomy. She even coached while undergoing radiation. She watched as cancer took her Mother and her comrade on the Men's Basketball side, Coach Jim Valvano.

I don't know about anybody else, but it has been sooo frustrating watching legislators gamble with my future and the futures of my children's children for their political gain. I can't vote on the Bailout Proposal and we know the devil is in the details [which will be forthcoming].
But daggone it, there is 1 vote we can make which can make a difference for generations to come and Friday's debate reiterated that fact.

Our nation's economy is in the toilet and no one wants a new President that will be the one to flush it. So when Lehrer asked:

As president, as a result of whatever financial rescue plan comes about and the billion, $700 billion, whatever it is it's going to cost, what are you going to have to give up, in terms of the priorities that you would bring as president of the United States, as a result of having to pay for the financial rescue plan?

OK Jim, you've got my complete, undivided attention.

Since McCain announced Sarah Pailin as his VP, I have held such an incensed feeling of outrage towards the McCain campaign and the GOP and their blatant disregard for the citizens, for us, WE THE PEOPLE. So I turned my sights toward the mainstream media, yeah the mighty "Traditional" Media.
But I was quickly reminded that the greatest standard bearer for good journalism, in my generation, is no longer with us....the late Great Tim Russert.

Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, says, "Russert was a political analyst more than a reporter. His commentary wasn't based off opinions. He was assessing impact, direction and implications based off deep knowledge and deep research. ... That is the kind of reporting that we don't have enough of on network television

I did. But a stop by Talking Points Memo tonight reminded me why I usually don't watch that show. You see while channel surfing I landed on a round table discussion about Obama's prayer at the Western Wall. The ladies were opining about how disingenuous it was for Obama to give the prayer to the press. Surprised? I was.

I was just wondering what would the talking heads use to usurp the bounce in the national daily tracking polls.

There appears to be some concern regarding Obama's movement and straegy throughout his trip overseas. No worries. The Obama Campaign is showing the world that the imperialistic, cowboy regime of the Bush Administration will end when Barack Obama becomes President of the United States.
