Are you saying that the Obama campaign should be required to remain inactive and silent during the entire primary season, while Republicans are permitted to rally against Obama and Democrats?

Pretty much ever other incumbent president has done so during primary season. So why is this one special?

Yeah! Why don't they let him run up unemployment and the deficit and stagnate economic growth in peace?
And are you trying to tell us that John Kerry had nothing bad to say about the incumbent during his primary?

They are doing that now. Negative ads against Romney benefit Santorum and Gingrich.

I think it's part of that new on line course "How to win on-line debates by pretending that all opposing opinions are forms of whining"

If the press did ANY investigative journalism on Obama, we could say a lot less.

That's nonsense. Incumbents have just as much time to campaign as anyone else. Besides, do you think that the Republican candidates would agree to refrain from attacks on Obama during primary season, and limit their attacks to their fellow Republican candidates?

An all out expose can be done on anyone. Everyone has secrets. And I don't want that focus on anyone. But if you are going to do them selectively, you are not operating in the public interest, convenience and necessity. And those are the criteria for a broadcasting license.
