Fox News calls Michelle Obama "Obama's Baby Mama"

That is a valid point -- this site provides no part of his platform whatsoever, aside from the banner notation that says "What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon -- that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize." That itemizes part of his campaign strategy (a very honorable approach, I might add, if he can stick to it), but does nothing to address his policies or vision. I might also add that if you click the very first "TRUTH" link, the gloss leading to the first video clip says "Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone" which kinda seems demonizing to me. Curious...

Now, in the site's defense, it is clearly not about the platform, but about correcting some of the lies and half-truths being bandied about regarding Senator Obama. I assume his personal website itemizes his platform, but to be honest, I haven't gone there yet to check.

Jim's post go me thinking about this, and a quick google search came up with this - Obama's platform.
I would also like to point out that politicians don't really stand for anything except getting themselves elected, in my opinion. They talk a lot, but they try very hard to avoid saying anything.

It is in several places online. I first read about it and then googled and found it in several other places online. In this link there is also a video, I guess (I didn't watch the video.):

I understand what they are trying to do and don't blame them. My problem is that more will be made of this site than the platform he is running on.
