Sen. Obama and MSM’s demolition team. (Update)
In my opinion, there are small pockets of teams whose only job is to lay land mines for Sen. Obama. They do this with a phrase or two or a series of what he should do or should be doing. They first want him to implode and then see him explode.
Via printed articles and/or vocal pundits they create a scenario upon which demolition teams could lay a mine and do a “Got’cha” kind of interview or the likes. They will try their best to hound him into stepping onto that land mine or delight in seeing him dance around it thereby generating news cycles or traffic to their web sites. They make sustained efforts to encircle him in a no-win situation. Their glee is akin to a mob putting a noose around your neck and seeing you talk your way out of being hanged. Real nasty. I can not put my finger on it exactly but I have feelings I am in the right ball park. Their surrogates are EVERYWHERE. So this is politics, eh? I repeat with emphasis, reee-al nasty!
As always,

(Update) I am always suspicious of someone introducing new materials into a debate. I am mindful of the poem “The Trout” wherein the fisherman’s obsession to catch the trout motivates him to cheat on honorable fishing practices. He simply muddies up the water to confuse the trout. There are a lot of un-sportsmen like trout fishermen out here. In our present debate regarding Sen. Obama and the FISA issue, again and in my opinion, Ralph Nader’s name is used by the fisherman to “muddy the waters”. Some people can not handle the issues at hand rather than pulling in another entity into the conversation. If Ralph Nader's name is used symbolically, it’s distracting to me and off kilter. “I ain’t talking ‘bout your Mama, I’mma talking ‘bout you.” (Smile)
