From where I sit

It is plain to see why James Carville wants Sarah Palin's take on the financial bailout. He knows better but it is his job to stir up a discussion to put it mildly. When you think about it, to respond is to allow him to carry on further. Find another job James.

Senator Obama will be more credible after a few more years as a public servant. If one really means to serve other people's interest besides his own, talking about the needs and concerns of middle America during an election campaign is not sufficient to get a full understanding of the critical areas of life on Main Street. If Senator Obama lives on Main Street, that would be different. I think that you're rushing it, Mr. Obama, going for the top too soon. This only demonstrates that you are out there to serve your own interests. There's a long road ahead of you.

News reporting does not serve anyone's best interests. Competition drives it. It doesn't matter who is delivering it because how they deliver is aligned with their company's business proposition and goals. You can't bite the hand that feeds you. Who is harmed in the process? The consumer, the listener on Main Street. Give us the facts without the spin. Report the news as a public service, provide information to help the average person process the facts as they know it and allow for intelligent discussion among themselves.

I wish life in these united states is as simple and refreshing as those anecdotes I read about in the Readers Digest's Life in these United States while growing up. Listening to the news nowadays leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, it disillusions and taints hopes for the future. The change we need can only be delivered by a leader who believes that we live for a purpose greater than serving our own interest.

Who do you think fills the bill?
