No seats on the plane, or in Obama's Amerika

It appears that the Obama campaign decided to do some housecleaning and has thrown people who do not agree with them off the plane. From Politico:

Obama spokesman Bill Burton confirms Drudge's report that two right-leaning papers, the Washington Times and the New York Post, have lost their seats on the Obama plane, along with the Dallas Morning News.

"We're trying to reach as many swing voters that we can and unfortunately had to make some tough choices. but we are accommodating these folks in every way possible," he said.

The Post and the Morning News are both read primarily in states that aren't in play, but the Washington Times is read in Northern Virginia.

The Obama campaign is frankly a bit dopey on this. Tossing the Washington Times aside is just bad politics. If they needed room, they would have been better served by dropping the two non-competitive states and adding a reporter from one of their non-competitive states media. They come across as both petty and vindictive which leads to me next point.

It is becomming more and more apparent that many of us do not have a place in Obama's version of America. At least not an active place. Obama has appeared to me to moving toward the policy of the chief parasite. Those who pay taxes need more taken out while those who don't should receive justice by getting other's money. That's the Obama world that I keep envisioning - and it is from THEIR words, not the McCain campaign.

But hey, just don't complain. Who knows where Obama will send you. Joe the Plumber found out all about that.
