A magazine article's charge that Obama had attended a radical Islamic school while living in Indonesia as a boy was spread on blogs and, most prominently, on Fox News Channel.
Other news organizations sent reporters who learned the school in Jakarta was public and secular and has long accepted students of all faiths. CNN's Anderson Cooper seemed to relish sticking the knife in a rival. "That's the difference between talking about news and reporting it," he said. "You send a reporter, check the facts and you decide at home."

I think you will find most news agencies are reporting the fact that he has no exp.
and that is the major concern of most rational individuals.
he may very well be a good president, but I am not willing to vote for a man with as little political experience as him.

No one gets a fair chance in politics. It's not a game. It's the real world where one does what one must to survive and win. Clinton's people managed to spread the trash talk (efficiently I might add) and now they deny having anything to do with it. Great work!
On the other hand, it is possible that Obama's own people started the rumor and blamed the Clinton campaign, just to make them look bad when the truth came out. Strategy. It's all about strategy.
You see all this nonsense going on and still there are folks who want to do away with the Electoral College and go to the popular vote. I can think of no greater danger to this nation.

Yes at this point in time I think he has as good a chance as anybody. I think you will see much open discussion about this person as he seems to be a quality candidate, one thing he will have to do is dispel the theory that he is a Muslim. He is actually a Christian and I think but am not sure the denomination, but I think he is a member of the First Wesleyan Church in Chicago. I think his inexperience will be a bigger draw back then his faith. However John Kennedy did not have an abundance experience and did rather well in his shortened term in office.

It's all part of the greater plan....Clinton is gonna pick Obama as a running mate,immediately following her nomination, his lack of experience will not be a major factor in becoming the V.P.,but will add to it greatly in his bid for President at a later date...It's beginning to look like the Dems have a plan to lead for the next 12-16 years

Barack Hussein Obama bin Laden has gotten more than a fair chance already. He was a political nobody that got all kinds of unwarranted hype and attention. He is the Paris Hilton of politics; manufactured celebrity. The media has been treating him like some kind of messiah.
Personally, I would like to see him get asked some really hard questions about his stance on the various issues.

perchance she's taking a play out of the NBC playbook? Doctoring an audio tape to make someone racist, now it is journalism. or perchance they borrowed one in all ABC's performs from their playbook. Doctoring the Zimmerman video to conceal the injuries. She confirmed undesirable, human being judgement. NBC and ABC practiced outright journalistic fraud.

He should get out of the way. The American people are not ready for a *****, very liberal, muslim president. I have seen no personality and his speeches have been inane. The media makes a fuss over him because he is black, reverse racism. He has the most liberal voting record in the senate, and has said or done nothing outstanding.

Most Dems don't watch Fox news or Drudge anyway. Maybe you should look into your other candidate you mentioned. I would not vote for him because he is a liberal democrat and I am a fiscal conservative. If racism will stop him, it will be the racism in the Democratic party!

No, he won't get a fair shake. He's got folks on both sides out to get him, but that "news" story you refer to was a cheap shot. So what else is new in politics?

So you don't think FOX should report on Obama's past?
