apparently was tough to write... thought this was interesting.

The last line of that article scares me.

"In an Obama administration, we the press will have our work cut out for us."

While I don''t think the President and First Lady should HAVE to take up each and every offer for interviews, the idea of them withholding information or putting up road blocks against valid journalism is extremely concerning. What other information are they going to block if they''re elected? Is this not the start of censorship? What happened to freedom of speech?

Very concerning.

I agree. I think this ''trend'' in politics is alarming. I like Obama, but I try to post liberally

, even if the information isn''t favorable. I like to challenge myself to see the total candidate, not just the nice stuff.
