Find out about an amazing synchronicity of events in this video released just in time for you to be a little ahead of the curve. Barack Obama has desired to be President of the United States since he was six years old. Now we know that some other intriguing people took an interest in him for the same reason, not too much later.

5.38 min. | 5.0 user rating		 The Media is completely bias. I will give you three reasons: 1) McCain vs. Talk Radio pundits Senator John McCain tries to mend fences with talk radio pundits Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. He needs conservatives to unite with him. 2) Clinton vs. MSNBC Senator Hillary Clinton threatens to boycott MSNBC after commentator David Shuster made inappropriate comments about Chelsea Clinton. Chris Matthews was very critical of Senator Clinton throughout the month and was shunned by many for his outrageous comments. 3) Fox News Interviews President Bush Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace asks the "hard" questions to President Bush. Of course, if I was the interviewer, I made him sweat a little on issues in America. FOX's documentary on President Bush is blasted for being propaganda. I tend to stay fairly neutral on CNN and MSNBC, but don't worry! I will take the time to watch each network and judge for myself what is bias in the media. Issues missed in commentary: I will explain them in another posting. CNN commentators questioned Fred Thompson's wife Jerri on being a "trophy" wife in 2007. CNN, FOX News, MSNBC attacked on Thompson cause he was "spirited" enough in the race. Yeah, you know what I mean! FOX commentators questioned Senator Barack Obama's church, his childhood, and race. MSNBC commentators chastise President Bush, Vice President Cheney, on Morning Joe, Countdown, Hardball and Dan Abrams Report. FOX attacks Clinton and Obama daily through Hannity <b>...</b>
9.40 min. | 3.59 user rating		 John McCain on Fox News Sunday talking about the closing if Gitmo and what should be done about prosecuting anyone for torture. Chris Wallace frames the question on torture as to whether anyone at a lower level should be prosecuted as opposed to anyone in the Bush administration who ordered the torture. McCain follows right along with him with his answer and only talks about those at the lower level in the CIA who followed the orders and not those they were taking orders from and says we need to "move on". As someone who was himself tortured this is pretty pathetic.
