Protecting Freedom Of Press, Printing —Cagle

AT PRESS time, the nation was gripped with caucus fever. It was still anyone’s game for both parties, with Barack Obama getting traction early for the Dems, and John McCain and Mitt Romney jockeying for position for the Republicans.

Each candidate is seeking to be viewed as an agent for change. It’s tough to differentiate between them, and the gloves have yet to completely come off. That will have to happen, sooner or later, in order to create a sound bite that can be the cornerstone of each platform. For example: Obama will say “Hillary Clinton wants us to look back, but we can’t live in the past. It’s time to start thinking about tomorrow.” Sure, it sounds deeply profound, but it’s a hollow statement—means nothing. After all, anyone with half a brain has his/her eye on tomorrow.
