Darn I hope people are watching CNN right now. Obama's biography
It's been very good and factual so far. "Barry" is still in high school right now and the coverage is very positive so far.

Now to see how they treat McCain in the next segment.

5. Let me know if they mention 1. lost 5 aircraft. 2. was possibly responsible for the death 139 Amer
icans and the near sinking of an aircraft carrier. 3. Should have been court martialed if he had made it back to his carrier since he acted like an arsonist that had to admire his work after he dropped his bombs and made "an extra circle". 5. was not tortured at all in Vietnamese custody.

14. Watching still at 11:13 EDT..I think it is going well. I saw the Mcbuffoon
one they did earlier. They are allowing the subjects to admit their own shortcomings or "mistakes" and I think that is a much better way to deal with this crap than to have pundits paint them with mud. It's pretty clear you've got a genius and an idiot running for President. I'm always amazed by how many want to bunch up with the idiot. Misery loves company I guess. With all the idiots and the possibility that they could steal it for a third time...we need to be prepared for that. What are we going to do if that happens? (Damn, he better pick Wesley Clark.)

15. I didn't see any overt editorializing
and it was made clear in the narration that Rezko's legal problems had nothing to do with Obama.

Saw the last half hour and it seemed very matter-of-fact to me.
