The Question Barack Obama Has Never Answered …

During the Democratic Primary in 2008, Charles Gibson asked Barack Obama the only difficult question I think he was asked that whole year. The Democratic presidential hopeful did not have an answer then, he did not have an answer for it during the subsequent presidential debate with John McCain and he still does not have an answer. The question dealt with capitol gains taxes and how he could justify raising them. Not only did Charles Gibson point out that, historically, every time capital gains taxes have been raised, tax revenues to the federal government have decreased and that, conversely, every time they have been lowered, government tax revenues have increased, Mr. Gibson also pointed out that raising capital gains taxes would severely harm 100 million people in this country who own stocks or who have 401K’s that they depend on for their retirement income. Obama hemmed and hawed, stuttered...

McCain vs. Obama Round II – Scoring the Debate

Let’s get the obvious out of the way right off the bat. I score the debate as a zero! There was nothing new learned during the debate because it was not at all a town hall meeting. Tom Brokaw had the opportunity before the debate to screen hundreds of questions from citizens and decide which ones that he wanted to ask. Instead of choosing questions that had never before been asked, questions that would have given some special insight into the character or unknown positions of either man, Tom Brokaw chose to ask and have asked, virtually identical questions to the first McCain-Obama debate. So, as for the debate, itself, it was a waste of everyone’s time and Tom Brokaw was clearly the worst moderator of the three we have witnessed (including the Vice Presidential debate). I heard nothing at all new from either candidate. They have been repeating...

The Two Faces of Charlie Gibson – Comparing Interviews With Sarah Palin And Barack Obama

As promised, The Political Republican Opinion blog is posting a side-by-side comparison of Charlie Gibson’s first interview with Sarah Palin and his first interview with Barack Obama. Obama’s initial interview was on November 1, 2007. Part one of Palin’s interview was on September 11, 2008. I originally intended to post parts one through four of the Gibson-Palin interview and compare them with the Gibson-Obama interview but I only needed part one to make my point. Below, you will see the questions Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin in red and the questions Gibson asked Barack Obama in blue. The questions appear in the order in which they were asked: “Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say “I have the experience and I have the...

Charlie Gibson Throws Away his Integrity in Sarah Palin Interview

Charlie Gibson Throws Away his Integrity in Sarah Palin Interview

Now, even Charlie Gibson has joined the ranks of those in the mainstream liberal media that have thrown away their integrity to support Barack Obama. Part one of his interview with Sarah Palin could not have been more biased. Gibson tossed aside his journalistic credentials at the outset of the interview when, in response to Governor Palin’s comment that she felt she was ready to take on the responsibilities of the Vice Presidential position, the ABC anchor raised his eyebrows, looked down his nose at her and said “didn’t that take some hubris?” For those unfamiliar with the word, “hubris” is another word for “arrogance.” If that’s not the pot calling the kettle black, then I don’t know what is (and please, save your breath Liberals; the pot did not just make a racist remark). The media in America has become an absolute joke. There is no such thing...
