I'd rather have a president who is challenged by the media.
One of my problems with the Clinton campaign is that the media is already subservient to them. They're afraid to confront the Clintons on substantive issues. And the media accepts non-answers too easily.
And we've has 8 years of that kind of relationship between the president and the press.
If the press is afraid to ask John McCain or the Clintons substantive questions and press them for direct answers, it would be more of the same.
Barack Obama is challenged every day. And he gives honest answers. He talks to everyone like he respects everyone. And what they have to do.
Another reason I'm supporting him.

Don't worry. The next Democratic President, whether (God forbid) Clinton or Obama, will be treated by the press much as the last Democratic President was. The press will ask all of the hard questions: Why did you sit quietly in church and not jump up screaming at the preacher? Are you still banging that intern? When will you stop being close buddies with so many terrorist lovers? And, on and on, to why did you pay so much to have your hair cut?
