David had emailed me with a copy of my blog entry, "Obama's Trip Around the World - Short and Simple," and we spoke by phone as we discussed the excessive coverage of John McCain's opponent. During our conversation Mr. DeSario asked me a unique and mind numbing question, "What do you think would happen if we elected an Anti-American as president?" My response before I dropped the phone was immediate, "Don't you think the media should be asking Obama this question?" Isn't this question, because of Obama's twenty (20) year close association with an anti-American "hate" church and extremely close ties to its leaders (ministers if you will,) what the media's main focus SHOULD be?

David then took the conversation to the plight of African Americans as well as other minorities, and that possibly Obama could help in their desperate needs such as reforms in education. My response was that I'm of the strong belief that those in the lowest levels of poverty, including poor whites who are trapped within these institutional walls which stand as a road block to the American dream, should be free by crushing these walls.

BUT, the real question is "who" should be our leader, not only for extreme and dire social issues, but economic as well as extremely dangerous and tumultuous foreign affairs. My feelings remain. A man who chose to not only allow himself, but also his wife and children to ingest hate filled anti-American rhetoric in a church for the past twenty (20) years, only to break ties for political aspirations is not an answer to our critical national and international issues. Hate begets hate! Hate only destroys ones soul, it will destroy the soul of a nation - Our nation. And THIS is what the media's focus should be for the sake of our beloved America.

This whole issue of HYPE from my vantage point goes beyond fairness in political media coverage between two (2) presidential contenders. This issue of the media's bias and refusal to address what Obama will bring to the presidential table with his "hate" background is more at stake, and the responsibility of what I always believed was the media's job to ethically, honorably, and credibly examine. If you wish to remain an ethical, honorable, and credible media as you cover Obama, start by speaking with the grieving survivors of 9/11, and countless military lives lost in our fight against Islamic Extremist terrorism. Go ahead! Ask them! Ask them how they feel when they hear Rev. Wright, Obama's spiritual adviser, say GD America, and take pleasure in the three thousand (3,000) lives lost on 9/11. I ask you the media who feeds our populous, why are you not talking to these people in all of your hype??

I always demanded "acrediblepresident." I now demand "acrediblemedia!"
