It was unfortunate that Obama rejected McCain's call for townhall series (even once a week). Answer people's questions unfiltered -- see disaster when Tom Brokaw (media) filters the questions! Obama, as he did in Chicago, is playing the "system" to his advantage. And changing his mind on taking public financing as promised. Well, it's amazing how Obama adapts his policies and positions and no one in the media calls him on it. Did he change his position on off-shore drilling and Nuclear power yet?! Like a Jello, as McCain said. That's the "change" Obama brings! He's celebrity to some who are blinded by his false "hope".
