Something I Wish I'd Said

"Well, Nation, you've all heard the news. Jesus has returned to earth on a spaceship, cured cancer, and won the British Open. Did no one hear about that? Oh, maybe it's because Barack Obama decided to go backpacking overseas with a couple of his friends. You probably know his friends by their professional name: The entire media. Yes, they've all taken the next 10 days to find themselves on Barack Obama's Elitist Summer Abroad." -Stephen Colbert

Yeah, the media have been focusing on Obama this last week but consider this: who would you rather read about? This race, as with all other recent presidential runs, has become about who makes better press coverage: the old, white man who fought in a war and can't check his email or the young, educated black man with the weird name who talks about a better America? All of Obama's weaknesses seem to have become his strengths, and McCain and his campaign staff are mad about this yet apparently, have no coordinated efforts to combat it. Someone please tell this guy that this is a change election, and he certainly ain't change.
