Please Write NBC
McShame gets 3 nights on the nightly news & MTP. Where's Obama? Don't know if it will do any good but we cannot afford to be silent.

3. Yes But He'll Be Back In Two Days
If there were any scheduled interviews they'd be promoing them now. I haven't heard of one NBC interview. You have 2 1/2 half hours of slash and burn every morning and now the line-up I mentioned in the OP. MSNBC features McPalin rallies all through the day. Where's Obama?

A quick email only takes a minute, just ask, Where's Obama?

11. He may be waiting to fill out his schedule until he see how his grandmother is doing
Two days may not be enough time. But I do agree that Biden needs to start taking the front spot until Obama is back in the saddle.

6. Let McCain have every night on the news
Each time he is on he comes off as a grumpy, pissed off old fart. I have to believe that every time he is on Obama gains a polling point in some battleground state.

7. Agree
He isn't helping himself. Still, I want Obama to have equal time, he and we deserve it. Let him be there for contrast. MSNBC's 9am has been on for 3 minutes and twice have shown extended clips from that interview. It was also shown on the Today show and awful Joe has Williams on talking about it.

Yeah, I'm getting a little tired of it.

12. Right Now MSNBC I s Showing The McShame Rally
WHERE'S OBAMA? He's invisible. And in these less than 2 weeks this is crucially important. We need to be yelling our heads off about this especially as it's the progressives who started watching MSNBC and gave them their ratings.One minute of a Duer's time is all it takes, I;m about to send my 4th.

14. As There Are Only Thirteen Days Until The Election
Why not this week and the next. Also my point is that you can turn MSNBC on at any point in the day and there is an 75% chance you will see McShame's face on the screen. If we say nothing they will do nothing. We also have nothing to lose by writing.

18. Look...
The only reason McCain gets three nights on NBC is because they don't have enough
time to air the whole interview.

According to Brain Williams, the segment took 28mins which would have taken their
whole 30mins that they have for NBC nightly news, so they have to use the 28mins
clip three times to fit into their nightly news.

As a matter of fact, Brain Williams explained this to Tweety yesterday.

So lets not get too ahead of ourselves and chill... the Obama campaign
got this.

19. That May Be Their Reason
for 3 nights in prime real estate long with playing it non-stop which they have been, but I say give Obama three nights too. Due respect, but this is not the moment to 'chill' and is the very thing Obama has been addressing. This is the very time we need to speak out.
