Obama: The media is a John McCain love fest
Your candidate has no personal weaknesses whatsoever? How wonderful it must feel to support an incarnation of God himself...
The question is about his biggest weakness.
Yes, but supposed media-bias is not a weakness. Aside from the obvious point that any hack will say the media is against their candidate it's not a weakness of a candidate, imo. If the media is biased in favour of McCain this would hurt any candidate running against him, not specifically Obama. It's pretty obviously a cop-out for someone who cannot admit to their candidate having any weaknesses.
We can beg to differ there. While I wouldn't say it's the biggest problem he has to deal with - that's still his inexperience and his tendency to shoot his mouth off from time to time (though even there we can argue that actually it's quite endearing because it means he's not as robotically media-trained and PR-driven like some of his rivals, but I'd probably be stretching it if I said that) - it's fairly obvious, to me at least, that he's up against a status quo which includes much of the mainstream media; who are more likely to make a meal of things like the Wright debacle and the "bitter"-remarks than had these things affected Clinton or McCain, solely to undermine Obama (the fact that no-one has picked up on the fact that McCain has cavorted with some very dodgy people himself kinda supports that view). The ABC "debate" last week, where he kept being hammered with one "gotcha"-question after another in the obvious but vain hope that they could get another clumsy soundbite out of him they could then repeat over and over in the news, was rather illustrative of that.
Again, this is your perception being an Obama supporter, and I remain quite unconvinced about it, to be honest. But even if you're right it's absurd to say that Obama's biggest weakness is that the media likes McCain. It's not a characteristic of Obama. I could say McCain's biggest weakness is that Obama is charismatic but that would make just as little sense.
And, Beet, I disagree. The principle of the matter remains the same, even if Obama is the nominee.
