I have to say I am disappointed this day. I keep hearing conservative principles won, maybe so but more people voted for an admitted drug user who hung out more than once with people that wanted to hurt Americans than voted for a man who almost died for Americans. Being good looking and articulate won over character and content. I realize I am conservative and listen to and read more balanced news but did they just ignore all the information about Obama or did they not care? I definitely think we have to reorganize and see what went wrong. I will support our next President but it was bad enough the press let him slide through the election, I will be very concerned if they do not scrutinize his decisions once elected. Please everyone report news good or bad. I find it interesting that October was the first month where there were no casualties on Baghdad, where was that on the news? If it was not for McCain, Iraq would have been a failure. If Obama is successful I want to know but when he fails it is equally important to report. Our first amendment failed us greatly this election. One of the basics of journalism is being objective, if the press is invested in a candidate there is nobody to point out what needs to be changed. Where were the reporters? Oh that is right they were investigating a plumber.
