The Impartial CBS News

Here is the CBS list of the five things you need to about Obama and McCain. This is so slanted that you will think I was making it up. Have fun. (My comments are in parenthesis.)

5) Obama: no shrinking violet. When he was still a Harvard law student, Obama was dating the boss. (Michelle Obama)

5) McCain: McCain was not born in any of the 50 United States. (not the first American citizen born in another country who ran for the Presidency)

4) Obama: in addition to enjoying basketball and cycling during down time, Obama loves to play Scrabble. (active, environmental and a word smith)

4) McCain: a maverick even back in high school, John McCain was nicknamed 'the punk.' "There was always the cigarette in the corner of his mouth." "John McCain graduated five slots from the bottom of the Annapolis class of 1958." (dope)

3) Obama: many people know Obama made history at Harvard by becoming the first African-American president of the Law Review. But did you know it was the conservative students who gave him the victory? (able to reach across the aisle)

3) McCain: when McCain was not down in Vietnam, it was not his first. It was not his second. But his third plane crash as a pilot. (dope)

2) Obama: if you're wondering about that GQ look, don't expect stories about fancy custom tailoring. "I basically buy five of the same suit and then I patch them up and wear them repeatedly." (What an average guy.)

2) McCain: McCain's North Vietnamese captors called him the 'crown prince.' "They were going to let him go as a gesture to the United States. And John said basically no." (doesn't this bit give you the impression that McCain was treated well as a POW, despite the fact that both his shoulders were broken?)

1) Obama: for the man who wants to usher in a new era of politics, he first won office as a state senator by using some old-school Chicago tactics. "He simply knocked his main competitor off the ballot." (will do what it takes to win the white house for the Dems... A fighter)

1)McCain: when he first ran for Congress he was charged with being a carpet bagger. "John McCain decided to move to the state of Arizona, a state in which he never lived, and run for the U.S. House in 1982. The Republicans running against him shouted 'carpet bagger, carpet bagger.'" (Hmmmm... Obama is not from Illinois and Clinton is not from New York.)

Thanks to Michael Medved who always informs us of such great reporting.
