Fox Coverage of election campaign

It was interesting to hear news reporter bad mouthing Obama so much about his half an hour campaign show. Then praise McCain for the rest of the show even though he got equal free time on another show. It is interesting to see the conservatives trying to pull apart  his campaign. They had a McCain speech on the news that sounded exactly like Bush. He kept on saying that he will find the terrorist and stop our enemies from ruining our way of life. I wanted to pull my hair out, the only ones that are ruining our lives today is our own government. This administration has used terrorism and fear to kill and hurt more innocent people than any terrorist. They have ruined our economy, hurt our relations with our allies, they don't try to solve or find compromises with our enemies and have made jobs harder to keep. The administration has taken away our homes and gave money to the companies that will only keep it for themselves. McCain will continue to mismanage our country because he is unwilling to compromise and admit the trouble that we are in. Obama is not going to make miracles happen over night but I think that he is more willing to try to help the education, health care and fuel crisis. These are the problems that have hurt people more than any threat of a terrorist who is horribly wrong but probably was created by our own ignorant views that we can do whatever we want and others have to listen to us. I am not unpatriotic but I think real discourse is more important than being proud of where you live. We need to pull together and fix our problems over party lines and try to fix the mess that we are all in. I hope that this election goes smoothly and that change will actually happen even though it will not happen as quickly as we would want. It is much easier to blow something up than to rebuild. It is much easier to hate than it is to get along. It is harder to work together than to point the blame anymore. It is easier to fight than to get along. We all need to work together in the world and it will be hard to make things better for everyone. No more scapegoats or insults but lets get some real dialog and real policies that help unite this country with the rest of the world in peace.
