With only a few months left until the country will determine which Democrat will battle it out with John McCain in the presidential race next fall, I find myself getting more and more annoyed about what issues are making the news and what issues aren’t.

In the weeks leading up to the crucial Pennsylvania Primary, the “political analysis” on television news stations has focused on anything but the issues that are important to the people of the country. Food shortages are plaguing many poorer nations, the economy in the United States is in a dire state, people all over the country are facing layoffs, increased gas prices and the rising cost of, well, pretty much everything.

So which critical issue do we get to hear about when we turn on the news? How about Barack Obama innocently scratching his face. That’s what I saw on the news. Apparently some “analysts” have decided the innocent face scratch was actually Obama secretly flipping off the country in an oh so subtle way. You see it really makes perfect sense. I know if I were leading the Democratic nomination in the delegate count, and hoping to convince the rest of the delegates to choose me for the presidential nominee, that would seem like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
