1. The majority of the TV and Print media are still only reporting positive news and limiting negative news. This segment of the media and their constant praise and instant ridicule of any negative assertions is worth at least 7 to 10 points nationally.
2. The Conservative talk-TV and talk-radio leaders are only preaching to the choir. Obama never had their votes in his column as it related to popularity.
3. Any President that attempts any short-term military action will receive the overwhelming support of the American public. Americans love short-military incursions and they do not even have to be successful. They like the idea that our President tried to do something to right a situation using the military.
a. Gerald Ford authorized a disastrous rescue of a captured American ship (the personnel had in fact been already released at the time of the attack and we lost an entire helicopter and our troops inside – yet Ford went up in the polls).
b. Jimmy Carter authorized a rescue of our captured embassy staff in Iraq and there was a crash in the desert during the staging, losing many lives. Carter went up in the polls because the American people thought he at least tried.
c. Ronald Reagan, after the deaths of over 200 Marines in Lebanon, attacked a small Caribbean Island of Granada and went up in the polls.
d. Bill Clinton attacked some scattered tents in the desert doing next to no damage as a way of retaliating for the first attack on the World Trade Center in New York and he went up in the polls.
e. Barack Obama goes after pirates in the Middle East and he goes up in the polls. This President and his staff know history. The old saying always was, “foreign wars distract the American People from internal troubles.”
Nevertheless, this President, in slightly more than 100 days in office, had attacked the very core of America’s traditional economy, a principle that had separated American from the rest of the world for over two centuries. Talks about nationalizing American banks, taking over a large share of the auto industry, limiting the pay of executives in private companies, entitlements still being used, bailouts to businesses that are wasting our money and his bowing to a member of the Arab Royalty have led to his small drop in popularity, even with an unbelievable support of the main stream media.

I remember reading something on wall street being more liberal than Americans would think. Found it Ann Coulter March 25, 2009 “Gordon Gecko was a democrat” avaiible at her website. You might find it interesting.
I think McCain lost because he was/is too moderate and the financial/housing crisis sealed his fate(which was cause by whom: dems like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd-google: community reinvestment act) Also keep in mind most of wall street is liberal and former wall streeters Paulson and Geitner have been in charge of giving $ and regulating their old pals on wall street. The liberal media does not alert Americans to this.
Is it true that Charles Sullivan was fired from KTF Media Group for roughhousing and inappropriate horseplay?
Dear Nelly,
I am not at liberty to say why Mr. Sullivan is no longer with KTF Media Group. No one from KTF ever suggested what the reasons were.
Do you suspect that Charles Sullivan is behind any of the abusive cranking on here? Is he why you’ve instituted moderation? WHAT HAPPENED TO CHARLES SULLIVAN?
Dear Nelly,
Your question about Mr. Sullivan is preposterous – he is a fine man and would never consider committing such despicable acts.
Mr. Sullivan’s email address can be found in various articles on KTF, ask him why he is no longer a contributor.
Thank you.
This is such biased press, why don’t your print what you want to print, he is a socialist, destroying our Constitution, he wants to penalize the working class with more taxes and more regulation that we need, he wants bigger Govt and less freedom for America, just look at his actions, don’t buy into the smoke and mirrors but since you are the editor you probably can’t print that. Why don’t you go undercover and print it elsewhere anonymously!
Obama is popular because the country has been fed a line of biased reporting that clearly is in support of him. They carry his water and do nothing that would be considered negative. The Republican Party is not much better as they would have you believe their side is angelic. Truth be told ALL politicians are liars. They hide behind false statistics and averages of averages. If the media would simply tell the truth we could decide which candidate is less likely to hurt us as opposed to them picking sides and fighting tooth and nail to get them elected. America is in big trouble right now. Unemployment is high, housing prices have dropped so that everyone is in the hole and gas prices continue to rise without an end in sight. My only hope is that we either hit rock bottom and come back stronger than ever or we steadily climb back to where we were 20 years ago. It is a shame to see what America is becoming considering I served so many years in the Army to defend her. God Bless America and God Bless Americans!
