Reader comment on item: Obama's Mansion, Saddam's Money
in response to reader comment: the ethics of difference
Submitted by byb (United States), Nov 13, 2008 at 12:10
I sometimes suffer from reading comprehension issues. I have read your opinion a few times and it appears I'm suffering from this affliction again?
So, you believe Obama's image is tainted by this overwhelmingly liberal, leftist news media we have here in the states?
Or, do you believe his image is his own doing, due to his questionable ties to questionable characters?
