]]> Regional > Europe > United Kingdom > Scotland > News and Media {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - Media report Palin's claim that Obama has not "authored ... a single major law or reform" without noting laws he has passed http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/media-report-palin-s-claim-that-obama-has-not-authored-2008097793.htm http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/media-report-palin-s-claim-that-obama-has-not-authored-2008097793.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:05:01 GMT In reporting on Gov. Sarah Palin's September 4 speech at the Republican National Convention, numerous print media, including the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, Time magazine, the Dallas Morning News, Reuters, and an article and a column by Debra Saunders in the San Francisco Chronicle, uncritically reported Palin's claim that Sen. Barack Obama "is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform -- not even in the state senate," without noting that Obama has played key roles in the passage of reform legislation at both the federal and state levels. For example, Sen. John McCain, a co-sponsor of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, thanked Obama for his work on the bill. Obama was a lead co-sponsor of that bill (S.2590), which sought to "require full disclosure of all entities and organizations receiving Federal funds" -- an amount that approximately totals $1 trillion in federal grants, contracts, earmarks and loans. While signing the bill into law on September 26, 2006, Bush recognized Obama as a sponsor of the legislation, saying, "I want to thank the bill sponsors, Tom Coburn from Oklahoma, Tom Carper from Delaware, and Barack Obama from Illinois." Moreover, in a press release upon Senate passage of the bill, the bill's primary sponsor, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), referred to the legislation as the "Coburn-Obama Bill." In media reports, the bill has also been referred to as the "Coburn-Obama" legislation or bill. At the state level, Obama was a co-sponsor of a 1998 Illinois ethics law outlawing political fundraising on Illinois state property and barring lobbyists from giving gifts to state legislators. Obama biographer David Mendell wrote about Obama's work on the bill in his book Obama From Promise to Power: Working the bill was an eye-opening experience for the freshman senator. It was a tough assignment for a new lawmaker, since he was essentially sponsoring legislation that would strip away long-held privileges and perks from his colleagues. In one private session, a close colleague angrily denounced the bill, saying it impinged on lawmakers' inherent rights. But Obama worked the issue deliberately and delicately, and the measure passed the senate by an overwhelming 52-4 vote. "This sets the standard for us, and communicates to a public that is increasingly cynical about Springfield and the General Assembly that we in fact are willing to do the right thing," Obama told reporters immediately after the bill's passage. The bill was not a watershed event anywhere but Illinois. It essentially lifted Illinois, a state with a deep history of illicit, pay-to-play politics, into the modern world when it came to ethics restrictions. [Page 124] Obama was also the sponsor of the "Democratic Republic of Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act of 2005" (S.2125), signed into law by President Bush on December 22, 2006. Obama worked with Republican Sen. Richard Lugar (IN) to produce the "Lugar-Obama proliferation and threat reduction initiative," which President Bush signed into law on January 11, 2007. The initiative, according to Obama's Senate website, "expands U.S. cooperation to destroy conventional weapons. It also expands the State Department's ability to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction." Obama also introduced a bill in the Illinois senate requiring police departments to videotape interrogations of murder suspects within interrogation rooms. The bill was signed into law in 2003. A May 9, 2003, Chicago Daily Herald article reported on Obama's involvement in the bill: [Gov. Rod] Blagojevich's indication Thursday that he supports the plan is a turnaround from his previous position. The governor previously said he opposed videotaping interrogations but supported taping of confessions. Blagojevich said he'd changed his mind after being satisfied that Obama had ironed out "some of the practical challenges that deal with the issue of videotaping interrogations."

The house is located at the intersection of Telegraph and Claremont, less than a block from the Sunday farmers market and the Temescal public library/tool lending library, and is located between the Rockridge and the MacArthur Bart stations (less than a mile to either) and has bus stops as close as one block away. It is set back in a fenced in area surrounded by trees and trellised vines, creating a very natural feel for such a prime location. There is a secluded courtyard, a backyard area, as well as roof with a patio to relax. The house has 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and highspeed wireless internet. The available room is very spacious (13 x 18), with a closet that runs the width of the room and is 2 feet deep (13 x 2 and 7 feet tall) with a clothes rod and a shelf. The ceilings are very tall and there is a window looking out to the backyard area with a fig and walnut tree. The room will be partially furnished with a queen sized bed, a dresser and a comfy reading chair. Our roommates have an edible landscaping business called the Backyard Food Project and will be using part of the roof area for plant propogation and growing their own food. The other rooms are occupied by a couple and a single woman. The common space is a large open room, the kitchen has the highest quality built in water filter, and plenty of windows. We compost our food scraps with a worm bin to convert them into plant fertilizer. There is also secure bike storage. Your portion of the utilities are not included in the price of rent.

Post ignored McCain flip-flop on Falwell as an "agent of intolerance," McCain's pastor problems http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/wash-post-ignored-mccain-flip-flop-on-falwell-as-20080870319.htm http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/wash-post-ignored-mccain-flip-flop-on-falwell-as-20080870319.htm Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:03:35 GMT In an August 17 Washington Post article reporting on the August 16 appearances by Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., Shailagh Murray and Perry Bacon Jr. wrote, "[Sen. John] McCain and his campaign advisers have been eager to put their struggles with Christian conservatives behind them. Some conservatives remain angry over his role in a 2005 compromise that allowed Democrats to block some conservative judges Bush was attempting to appoint; others still recall his criticisms of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as 'agents of intolerance' during the 2000 Republican primaries." But the Post did not note that, in April 2006, McCain said he no longer believed Falwell was an "agent of intolerance," and delivered the commencement address at Falwell's Liberty University a month later, as Media Matters for America documented. Moreover, while claiming that Sen. Barack Obama "endured a storm of controversy over comments made by the former pastor of the Chicago church he attended until recently," and noting "the high-profile controversy stirred up by Obama's former pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr." the Post article ignored the controversy over comments by religious figures who endorsed McCain. Indeed, while Murray and Bacon noted that the McCain campaign was "eager" to put its "struggles with Christian conservatives behind them," they did not mention that McCain actively sought the endorsement of controversial pastor John Hagee, despite Hagee's numerous controversial comments about gays, the Catholic Church, Islam, and women. Nor did Murray and Bacon note that even after Hagee's controversial comments came to light, McCain still said, "I'm glad to have his endorsement," before eventually rejecting it. Murray and Bacon also did not mention McCain's connection to Rod Parsley, a senior pastor of the World Harvest Church in Columbus, Ohio, whom McCain had reportedly called "one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide," and who had been widely criticized for comments about Islam before he endorsed McCain. McCain accepted Parsley's endorsement on February 26, but then rejected it on May 22. From the August 17 Washington Post article: Barack Obama and John McCain made their first joint appearance of the general election Saturday night, breaking away from the debates over national security and the economy that have dominated the campaign in recent weeks to court evangelical voters at an Orange County megachurch. The forum at Saddleback Church presented a rare opportunity for Christian voters to contrast candidates who do not conform neatly to party stereotypes. While Obama has spoken often about his faith -- and endured a storm of controversy over comments made by the former pastor of the Chicago church he attended until recently -- McCain has largely avoided public discussions of faith and values during his career, which has contributed to a sometimes rocky relationship with evangelical leaders. The event was hosted by Rick Warren, the author of the best-selling "The Purpose Driven Life" and one of the country's most prominent evangelical preachers. Warren, a Southern Baptist, referred to both McCain and Obama as friends in his introductions. "They both care deeply about America," Warren said. "They're both patriots." Each candidate was interviewed individually by Warren for an hour. The two met only briefly, embracing on the stage midway through the event as Obama exited and McCain entered. [...] Christian conservatives gave Bush 78 percent of their votes in 2004, and they remain a vital part of the Republican Party's electoral strategy. But although Democrat Obama has taken stances on issues such as abortion and gay rights that many Christians disagree with, his campaign hopes that he can cut into that showing by keeping his faith in the spotlight and by discussing topics such as poverty and global warming. McCain and his campaign advisers have been eager to put their struggles with Christian conservatives behind them. Some conservatives remain angry over his role in a 2005 compromise that allowed Democrats to block some conservative judges Bush was attempting to appoint; others still recall his criticisms of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as "agents of intolerance" during the 2000 Republican primaries. Many of these activists pointedly refused to back McCain during the GOP primaries, favoring former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney or former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. Tony Perkins, head of the socially conservative Family Research Council, criticized McCain this summer for making faith and values less of a priority on his Web site and in other campaign materials than Obama had. McCain has publicly suggested in recent days that even though he opposes abortion, he might select a running mate who supports abortion rights. That drew warnings from Perkins and other religious conservatives that they might not show up at the polls in November if McCain picked an abortion-rights supporter such as former governor Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania. But McCain's campaign has also sought to highlight stances such as his opposition to same-sex marriage and civil unions. The Republican nominee also has spoken about his faith more often in recent months, frequently focusing on how it sustained him as a prisoner of war after he was shot down over Vietnam. Saturday night, he cited the role of faith in his decision to stay in a Vietnamese prison camp after he was offered release because his father was a high-ranking naval officer. He said it was the toughest choice he had ever made, adding that "it took a lot of prayer, it took a lot of prayer." The Obama campaign made an aggressive sales pitch at the event, distributing a 12-page booklet to the 2,200 people who streamed through Saddleback's doors that chronicled the candidate's "Christian journey" and his long relationship with Warren. The campaign also announced Saturday that the upcoming Democratic National Convention would have a strong religious flavor, with "faith caucus meetings" to discuss religious voters' concerns and daily invocations and benedictions from national faith leaders. The list includes Joel Hunter, a prominent Republican pastor from an evangelical Florida church; a Greek Orthodox archbishop; a Roman Catholic nun from Cleveland; and a Colorado couple who are both Methodist ministers. Topics of the faith caucus meetings include "How an Obama Administration Will Engage People of Faith"; "Moral Values Issues Abroad"; and "Getting Out the Faith Vote." For Obama, the Saddleback event allowed him to reinforce that he is a Christian before an audience that doubtless included many familiar with Internet and talk-radio-driven rumors that he is a Muslim. That particular falsehood has proven maddeningly difficult to dispel for Obama's campaign, continuing to dog his candidacy even after the high-profile controversy stirred up by Obama's former pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. On Saturday night, Obama's appearance was his second at Saddleback. In December 2006, he and conservative Sen.

The residence has been expanded significantly with a wonderful design aesthetic. Within a block of the Palace of Fine Arts, one of the Marina District’s most beloved sites, this home enjoys a superb location. Some of the many upgrades to the residence are evident even before crossing the threshold—from the pavers in the driveway to the solar sensor landscape lighting, hand troweled integral color stucco facade, custom curved iron balcony, travertine porch and 3” solid cedar doors. One can expect the quality to continue throughout. Original stenciled decorative ceiling beams, wrought iron railings, hardwood floors, stained wood trim and interior beveled glass French doors grace the upper foyer and main rooms of the home. A gas fireplace with lava rock provides a contemporary touch to the living room. A wrought iron curved curtain rod and Thai silk curtains add emphasis to the lovely bowed living room window. The Samsung 40” wall-mounted flat screen TV and Bose Surround System are also included. Recessed lights and wall sconces add to the drama. French doors lead to the dining room with its inviting outdoor patio, perfect for morning coffee. And that coffee is best provided by the built-in Bosch espresso/coffee machine in the gourmet kitchen. Calcutta D’Oro marble counter tops combine beautifully with white lacquer Italian cabinetry. Appliances are top of the line: 36” Wolf range with grill, VentaHood, Bosch microwave oven, 36” Sub Zero refrigerator, double drawer Fisher Paykel dishwashers, and GE Monogram wine cooler. Superb day and night lighting is provided by the skylight and recessed fixtures. An eat-in area is perfect for less formal meals. The 26” Samsung LCD wall-mounted flat screen TV completes this cook’s showplace. Located conveniently to the main rooms, the powder room is lined with ledgestone tile and limestone flooring. A hall full bath with skylight is also found on this floor. Its beautiful watery colored, glass mosaic tile shower combines soothingly with the limestone floor and Calcutta D’Oro marble vanity top on a Waterworks polished nickel base. Three bedrooms complete this floor, offering ample closet space and a flexible floor plan. The third bedroom, with its windows overlooking the west garden, adjoins the other two and is currently furnished as an office. The massive master suite on the ground floor is a truly remarkable international super room. Every attention to detail has been given, creating an adult haven. High drama is provided by the dual sided linear gas fireplace with glass beads, built into a freestanding chimney wall of ledgestone. Elements include planed wide plank hardwood floors, a built-in bench of imported Spanish tile, custom closet system, recessed lights and Anderson French doors. Entertainment features include a 42” LG Plasma TV, plus six in-wall and ceiling speakers. Enter the master bath and your movement illuminates in welcome. The walls are lined with imported Italian porcelain tile. Glass mosaics accent the party-sized shower, complete with built-in bench, dual shower heads plus hand-held shower. Other features include a six foot Toto Airbath, ultra modern Tonusa wall mounted dual basin vanity, and Duravit Starck toilet. Whether enjoying the generous center of the suite, gazing through the fireplace or lounging in the two seating areas, one can also enjoy the west garden. Artfully designed, the outdoor space includes Arizona flagstone pavers, landscape lighting, lush bonsai dwarf lawn, palm trees, grasses and an auto-irrigation system. The home’s ground floor includes a laundry closet with super sized, high efficiency LG Tromm Steam Washer and Dryer. A satellite dish is installed on the property. Parking includes one space in the garage and room to park an additional vehicle in the driveway. NEIGHBORHOOD In addition to the Palace of Fine Arts, nearby are the Marina Greens and Crissy Field, with the promenade leading to the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.
