    Obama Speaks and Baseball Fans Wait
    By Julie Bosman
    Memo to Barack Obama: It could be dangerous to mess with the national pasttime.

    Yet that is what Mr. Obama has done in trying to buy a 30-minute block of time on Oct. 29 on three networks — including Fox News, which just happens to be running the World Series.

    Because of the request, Major League Baseball has agreed to push back the first pitch that night.

    That immediately drew the rebuke of the Republican National Committee, which portrayed the ad buy as another example of Mr. Obama putting himself first. (The theme of Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee, is “Country First.”)

    “It’s unfortunate that the World Series’ first pitch is being delayed for Obama’s political pitch,” Alex Conant, a spokesman for the R.N.C., said in a statement. He added later, via instant message, of Mr. Obama: “He puts himself first – literally.”

    But Scott Grogin, a spokesman for Fox Broadcasting Company, said on Wednesday that it was the network that made the request to Major League Baseball to delay the start of Game Six by 20 minutes. The network did so after Fox received the request from the Obama campaign to buy the block of time, at a cost of nearly $1 million.

    Mr. Grogin added that the network would be willing to make time available to Senator John McCain’s campaign, if requested.

    Of course, if the series is decided in five games, the schedule change for Mr. Obama’s program won’t be necessary. “If there’s no Game Six,” Mr. Grogin said, “It’ll air at 8 p.m. in lieu of other programming.”


    Ayers, Acorn, Odinga, Rezico, When does it stop and when do people wake up ?

    If that's not enough of a Big propaganda machine how about this..

    McCain's camp is looking at doing this too.

    It was before my time, but Nixon did this too, and so did JFK. Seems like a good move to me. Your whining is confirmation.

    I'd say stop whining, but your whining is helping turn the tide against you. So whine away!
