Sorry Ass Debate

ABC News should be ashamed. During its hosted Democratic Debate from Philadelphia tonight was a complete waste of time. Okay, complete waste of time is a bit of an overstatement. ABC and it's hosts proved Senator Obama's points regarding the poor state of political discourse in America. It also proved the point he has made time and again about distractions being thrown up to divert us from discussing real issues. Look at the choice of questions for the first HOUR:

Bitterness
Rev. Wright
Rev Wright's love of America
Flag Lapel Pins
Bosnia
Economy (finally)

Notice a pattern? The hosts seemed to be carrying water for both John McCain AND Hillary Clinton. These are not the issues that most of us really care about. In addition, on the question of taxes, neither host seemed to recognize, or acknowledge, that the the need to eliminate debt or what the average American makes in this country.
