Is that he is the most self-aware candidate we've seen in a long time. Maybe Bill Clinton was about the same.

Too often, politicians seem really out of touch, not just with the average everyday American but with the attacks that are being leveled at them by the opposition.  John Kerry or Al Gore would be briefed by their staff on what the Republicans were doing, but they wouldn't really get it. And if you don't get it, how can you fight back?

Obama gets it. He knows what the Republicans are doing, he knows their moves before they even make them, and he knows exactly how to counterpunch on all of them. His convention speech was one big counterpunch to all the arrogant celebrity, weak-on-terror, gonna-raise-taxes crap that McCain had attacked him with.

So I'm not surprised that Obama knows exactly what Fox News is all about, and isn't afraid to say it. He'll play nice sometimes by going on O'Reilly, but he isn't under the illusion that the channel is fair.

It's for this reason that I think Obama is the Republican's worst nightmare. Their games don't work against someone who knows the rules better than they do.

News Corp is done.  Democrats will revive the fairness doctrine after the past 8 years of journalistic malpractice.  Media conglomerates will be forced to divest their assets.

News Corp is screwed.

But not the latte sippers. I think they went with Starbucks fan, John McCain.

What was most interesting about it was, Obama may spend a lot of time floating airey fairey hope speeches, but it looks like he is a pretty cagey calculating cat, who is NOT going to get lost in the hype.

The parts about how he won the Harvard Law Review post shows he knows the conservative mind, he will not be blindsided by it.

Oh, and let's be clear: Faux and it's cronies are not conservatives, they are rabel rousers, provacuteurs, propagandists.

Obama knows who they are and what is their end game.

wtf is wrong with volvos? they get good gas milage, they run really well, last forever, and most importantly, they have a turbo button.... it goes turbo.

I've often thought there should be a way to force FOX to either be broken up or made to actually be fair and balanced.  At the very least they shouldn't be allowed to claim to be a news service.
