McCain: I want a newser every 2 weeks

Posted: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 5:08 PM by Mark Murray

From NBC's Kelly O'Donnell
Campaigning in Connecticut today, McCain pledged to have a news conference once every two weeks if elected president.

"You've gotta have a conversation with the American people," he said.

I notice the Obamaites have a lot of hate for everyone else, but never mention anything concrete that they are supporting Obama FOR.

Surely there is SOMETHING Obama has actually done that makes you so rabid for him so you guys could have something positive to say.

"Press Access: or how Traditional Media will spend this entire election on their knees in front of Sen. McCain"

Coming soon to a theatre near you.

McCain said a few weeks ago that he does not care what anybody thinks.
Something stinks here!

I am an Obama Supporter, but this is a good move. All presidents should do it and I urge Obama to declare the same.

McCain still leading Obama and Clinton in the race for president. Yeah baby!

And concerning the riff between Barack and Hillary and the apparent "split" in the Democratic Party right now, it reminds me of an old Alan Jackson song, tell me "Who's Cheatin" Who?"

What the American people need is to be told the TRUTH.

Do these people really think a politician talking to a microphone is a conversation? I thought a conversation was a two-directional thing.

Well I guess if he's fielding questions from reporters, and if you're willing to buy off on the notion of reporters rather than congressman representing the American people, it is sort of a conversation.

At any rate, if McCain were to win the general election, hopefully he would have Lieberman or some other former Democrat standing behind him to whisper answers to the questions.

See, that's what was wrong with the Bush Administration. President Bush didn't have the benefit of a former Democrat helping him with foreign policy and national security.
