“Kenya deporting U.S. author of anti-Obama book” is one of the top stories on USA Today. Jerome Corsi, author of a best- selling book which attacks Obama was picked up by police for not having a permit. Corsi had been scheduled to launch his book Tuesday in Kenya where Barack Obama is very popular, considered by many a native son because of his father. The book refers to Obama as dangerous and discusses his Muslim faith. Obama is actually a Christian and many of the false statements made in the book are pointed out on Obama’s rumor-fighting website FightTheSmears.com.
“Younger Americans on the election” discusses the equal number of registered Democrats and Republicans under 30 and their agreement that Obama is the best candidate for the presidency. A USA Today poll reveals that 6:1 of the under 30 age group see Obama as the candidate they can relate to. The article says that age is not a factor, because Palin is the youngest on the ticket and has the most negative favorability according to the age group of any of the candidates. The article also cites the top three issues as the economy, the Iraq War, and Healthcare.
Another article, “McCain ready for combat in 2nd presidential debate,“ discusses McCain’s plan to attack Obama’s credibility. McCain prefers the town hall style of debate, so tonight he may be able to help his current set back.
“Elizabeth Edwards attacks McCain health plan” is another top issue. Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Democratic candidate John Edwards, called McCain’s “…health care plan a ‘perfect storm’ for working families.” Edwards has incurable breast cancer, and the article noted that this was the first time she has made a great effort to speak publicly after her husband’s affair became known.
