Ben and Brad Show:

The above link is to my favorite NY Times main stream media columnist.  I
like the way he thinks about the "bailout" issue.

Brad said, “He got much of it right.”

Ben citation of the New York Times and its columnist is an issue for two
reasons.  The New York Times once billed itself as printing all the new that
is fit to print.  It lost that standard over the years and the rest of the
country recognizes it.  It has lost its credibility.

Secondly, the New York Times is solidly main stream media as Ben said.  This
means that reasonable people in the other parts of the country understand
that what ever it prints, it is biased reporting.  So even when as Brad
says, “He got much of it right”, its veracity is questioned by the rest of
the country.
Ben has coalesced into the Northeast Pseudo Elitist mold.   This type of
reasoning is exemplified by Chris Mattews.  Specifically that is put down
‘Blue Collar’ America, because I have more than a high school education I
understand better and more. 
 
Blue Collar America does not read nor will it accept advice [even if it
good] from the New York Times.
Here is where Blue Collar America is getting it ideas on the situation from:

Now a read of David Brooks column cited shows that he has read George Soros
books and his thinking is influenced by Soros’s concepts of capital flow. 
Why has no major media interview Soros?  That is a big mistake and lost
opportunity.  

And the White House failed in not inviting Buffet and Soros to get their
perspective and ideas.  Because you seek advice does mean you have to follow
it.  But do get some good advice and not insider advice from Goldman Sachs
via Hank Paulson.  (Goldman Sach is openly supporting your opposition, so
why would they give you the best advice?).

Brad, thank you for pointing out that the old lack luster McCain has looked
at the accounting issues and spoke about them.  Whereas Obama has developed
an elitist attitude that is to let others decide.  Obama has demonstrated a
real lack of understanding and leadership.  It seems that he does not have
even average intelligence.  

This guy is a real example of Elmer Gantry, Jim Baker and other con men. If
Obama was an army second lieutenant in combat he would have been fragged a
long time ago.  He is a phony leader, a false god image.
