"Why don't the public/media force them to focus on how they propose to identify and handle the issues?"

Because the effin media have been part of the effin problem for seven effin years. They have cosied up to Bush and Cheney, and the media no longer knows HOW to ask questions they haven't been given by the effin Bush administration. Bastards for whom I have had NO trust since 2002, mmay the fuckers be on the umemployment line as of right effin now.

Good question, Ed.
