We have been hearing about Obama’s personal life for like 2 years now. Palin has been on the national stage for 10 days and there are less than 60 days until the election.
It is not ridiculous that the media is so focused on Palin right now. They have been just as focused on Obama for a looong time. The media feels they need to publicly vet candidates. I’m sorry, but that includes Palin.
We have all heard about Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers and flag pins and patriotism and drug use and Rezko and community organizing, etc etc etc. We’ve heard it. The public has made up their minds about Obama. But who is Sarah Palin? Where does she stand? Where has she come from?
If the Media has been so thorough in vetting Obama, how come people who are not as obsessed with politics as the folks on this board know who Levi Johnson is but have never heard of Bill Ayers? How come they have heard of the Alaskan Independence Party but have never heard of ACORN?
The press feeding frenzy after the announcement of Sara Palin as VP nominee would be less objectionable if the same press had shown any interest in finding out just what Barak Obama did as a community organizer and reporting it. As the reporters swarm over Alaska we are seeing that they are capable of doing research and reporting facts. If only they would use those same skills in Chicago, perhaps their claims that they are nothing more than Obama’s bitches would have more credibility.
We haven’t heard enough about Obama’s personal life. He is keeping alot of it secret. He doesn’t want us to know about his relationship with an anarchist. Why? He doesn’t want us to know about his days at Columbia University. Why? What does he have to hide? Is he secretly a terrorist and doesn’t want us to know? What did he do in Indonesia? What does the FBI really know about him? I wish they would tell us what he doesn’t want us to know. I wish the press would find out what he is hiding. It must be pretty bad.

These are not unreasonable questions.
