He stumped with John McCain and Sarah Palin for weeks, appeared on numerous talk shows and publicly spoke against McCain's opponent. So he was fair game. You do realize once you're a surrogate for a national candidate, you can't just go back to claiming that you're the average Joe again. He's famous now and truth be told he wanted it. If he was attacked, he was attacked as a spokesman for John McCain and not as your average private citizen.
As far as Obama's merits, if I posted a list for you to see with your own two eyes, you'd simply discredit them one by one. So who are we fooling here. Besides, I really don't care to get into a tit for tat about what Obama hasn't done v. what he's done v. what he promised. If he's a flop, the American people will vote the Bill Ayers, terrorist, loving bum out the White House. Plain and simple.

In fairness The media starting attacking him the moment he asked Mr. Obama the question on taxes being raised . It was after that he became a media magnet . But you are correct , he could have chose to not be interviewed , never heard him complain about the attention . I would not dismiss what Obama has done as a public servant , just thought during the campaign how ironic it was how Palin was viewed as not ready and Obama was treated as an " amazing " person with close to the same number of years serving the public . As all Presidents , we will have the final say every 4 years ,,,, have a nice day 12th .
