We could go into how the media never vetted the Bill Ayers, pressumed ghost writer of Obama's book, which centered around the marxist dreams of Papa Obama, and how his political career basically launched from "just some guy in the neighborhood"'s living room. Or how the media ignored the Chicago politics that got Obama into his 3 day Senate career. But that was last election, unfortunately those issues wont really work against this cycle. They should have played a much larger role last election, but the media had chosen their king. This time, we could go into how his signature legislation is embattled due to a lack of constitutionality, that is yet to be determined. We could go into his myriad of inconsistencies and broken promises. The media could spend a bit of time on Solendra, at least maybe half as much time as they did on Haliburton.
As far as the treatment I was referring to, it was the treatment John King received after leading off a national debate by dangling a pointless skeleton around. The people are sick of the media driving the narative. Ask substantive questions or GTFO.

TMS - I thought Id try and clear up a few common misconceptions regarding Speaker Gingrich. This is not an effort to entice your vote for him, I dont even know if he has MY vote yet, but in fairness, history's lens has already begun to tint him a bit.
1. He was never convicted of ethics charges, the was brought up on them regarding a class he was teaching, which the IRS followed up by absolving him of these charges. Ethics charges are sortof like child molestation charges, even if you're acquitted, the damage is done.
2. He was fined $x for these charges. In fact he voluntarily paid investigation fees because he had unintentionally mislead investigators by submitting legal documents he had not reviewed. Still a mistake.
Again thats not intended to entice anyones vote, and I still have other problems with the man. For one, I dont know if anyone caught this, but he told Cape Canaviral yesterday that he will have a permanent moon base built by the end of this second term. Like thats even relevant when the economy is on the verge of collapse. He was pandering on that one. Im not keen on the way he's treated his family in the past, but thats not exactly relevant.
That said, he would decimate Ceaser Obamus in the national debates, that I would love to see. I dont know if that alone would achieve his victory though. I'm convinced he'd be a better president than Obama, but then again, I'm convinced just about anyone would.
