Hank Roth's Note: I have to add a note to this obvious smear. Both planes are tight fits for all the reporters who want to go on them. Obama did in fact ban reporters who were unfavorable to the Obama campaign. McCain had to deny room to a couple who applied for a seat too late to accommodate them. Subsequently McCain has added a SECOND plane so that will not happen again during these last 72 hours. Obama has not. Obama does it for other reasons. McCain apologized and spent the money. Obama spent 400,000 dollars to take his charter plane to Hawaii to see his grandmother for an hour but can't add a second plane for reporters (because he has a vendetta against them). He only needed that hour to tell his grandmother what to say if she is deposed over the Burg law suit. She can always claim sh
e is too sick to appear for a deposition, which is likely what Obama told her. Meanwhile he can spend $400,000 on a quick flight to Hawaii but can't take his family because he grandmother wasn't that sick; that is, she didn't die, did she? AND the jerk still has a problem with his birth certificate and his aunt is still going to be deported and his brother is still living in a hut in Kenya. BUT he does advise his cousin Odinga who burns alive 150 Christians. Nice guy, this Barack Hussein Obama.

McCain barred Dowd and Time's Joe Klein, two columnists seen as
leaning toward Obama, from his campaign plane, and space has grown
very tight on Obama's in recent days. But Obama aides have also been
heard to complain about the coverage from the New York Post and the
Washington Times, if not as vociferously as they have about Fox News's
coverage.
