I agree with your view that Obama and his people have decided to control the daily news cycle. They have done this since, and during, the primary and runup to the general. Even Clinton could not cope with his control of the "daily primary season news flashes". I believe that is a primary reason that she lost. Plus, the Clinton's unwillingness to hit him hard re race, religion and association issues. They blew it and lost the race to compete against McCain. The MSM would have sided with either of the two in opposing the republican candidate. That was evident when one looks at their full bore attempt to destroy the Palin family. What we are seeing in the last 70 plus days will continue for the next four years and will be given increased emphasis in the run up to the 2010 Congressional elections. Obama knows that he needs to retain a fully liberal congress to complete his liberally slanted socialist agenda - and to get reelected in 2012.

As usual, an excellent post! Once they lose control of information-dissemination, the electorate will be more well-informed and the ship of state can be returned to a state of equilibrium. Something occurred to me today. Is there a chance Obama and his minions may make an attempt to limit information over the internet? Not sure how that would be done and in what form it would take, but if they are concerned about information and communication, they may ultimately make a play to limit that information over the internet. Just an idle musing here on my part.
