Of course, the Obama campaign will be remembered for spectacles like Obama's stadium speech at the Democratic convention and his equally massive appearance in Berlin.

This statement is wrong.

This campaign will be remembered for one thing only -- the failure of the media to properly investigate Obama's short history and disclose it to the people.

Journalism is all but gone at this point; newspapers are failing, losing money, broke, and it is easy to see why -- they have failed miserably at their jobs this election season.

The coming four years will be filled with scandal and realizations of just how inadequate the vetting process was.

I watched parts of two of his speeches this weekend.......the man is exhausted.......he looks like he could sleep for a week straight. I understand now why there is a two month transition peroid.

My favorite line.......don't boo, vote on Tuesday!

His rhetoric is as soaring as it was at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, but voters shouldn't be fooled — Obama is far from the same man he was four years ago, or even 21 months ago, for that matter. There are the subtle physical changes: the graying hair, the pounds shred from months of grueling 18-hour days.
