McCain and Obama at the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency
August 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments
I watched all but the first 5 or 6 minutes of the Saddleback Civil Forum yesterday and much of the coverage afterwords. I must say, anyone who has been concerned about the media “love fest” for Sen. Obama should feel much better after listening to hosts from CNN, MSNBC and Fox News gushing over [...]
