nice coverage. the top of the arch was the best place to be in my opinion. a speech is a speech, but the view was one of a kind.

also i think you meant stripes not strips there.

Mr. Jadhav,
Off the top: I would say (from the appearance and scant attention to massive detail in this blog)that you are the laziest and most inept journalist that has ever insulted the intelligence of the entire general public simultaneously.
Suffice it to say, you are a very lucky man that it is not I who signs your paycheck.
For hours after an historic appearance by the leading candidate for the presidency of the United States of America this anemic and horrifically
disrespectful blog post was all that St. Louisans could look to for a thorough, unbiased report of one of the most major historical events ever to take place within the City Limits.
And this, by the what is often regarded as the leading print publication of important news in the nearby region.
I find it to be 100% inexcusable.
You, Sir, would be so very fired that you would most certainly need to begin an urgent job search.

I’m going to save this article for some time to come as it represents the absolute epitome of ignorance that you would be allowed to continue with this game you call being an objective reporting.

Obama’s health plan will result in a single payer system. And this is Obama’s ultimate goal. In a speech before the AFL-CIO in 2003, Obama stated he favored a single payer system but that it would not happen immediately until “we took back the White House, the Senate, and the House.” Obama intends to crowd out private insurers much in the way Walmart crowds out small businesses. People will flock to Obama’s government plan and employers will drop their private insurance because Obama’s government plan will be cheaper (because Obama’s government plan will be subsidized and private insurers will be subjected to unfair, costly mandates that will force them to charge higher premiums). Once the conversion of this country to the dark side of single payer is achieved, you, the public, will only have one option for your insurance and if you don’t like it, too bad. Further, the cost of Obama’s plan will be staggering and unaffordable and, therefore(as has happened in Canada) care will be rationed and the government will be forced to cover less and less. Also, like in Canada, quality doctors will leave the system(why should they stay at dirt cheap fee schedules) and(because demand will increase) waiting times for surgeries and diagnostic tests will increase dramatically. McCain’s tax credits for individuals offers a better solution. There is no need to scrap the current system in its entirety for a single payer system. We need to deal with the 10% of this country who are uninsured(a quarter of which are illegals by the way) but those who can pay for their insurance should and McCain’s plan is a good better first step toward health care reform than Obama’s resulting single payer nightmare.

Republicans wrecked America. Period. It is up to all of us to take it back.

I’m proud to have attended this tremendous rally.
What a spectacular turnout.

and to all you whining mudslinging right wing extremists

Missouri is going Blue
&
I smell a landslide

The image of Obama under the arch rivals the image of Obama giving his acceptance speech in a football stadium. I, for one, am very happy to see that the negativity of the McCain campaign has not had an effect on the Obama’s support with a broad array of Americans.
