my opinion - looking at the war, national security, economy, health care, education, immigration and all the other issues talked about - the media in this country is the biggest problem and threat of all. You can't trust any newspaper or tv to not twist the truth, omit facts or pick what to report; to the point that it is of little use as information. Too many people believe it and take it for absolute if it reads like what they want to believe.

Obama also has some of that same idealist appeal. We'll see where that takes him in the big primaries coming up.
