Poll: Are you sick of so much media coverage of Obama and the Presidential Election yet?

Question

You cannot watch any of the major news programs now without them saying the name Obama over...and over...and over...

Has your viewership of the 24 hour news channels fallen off because you are just tired of hearing about the same topic every day ad nauseum?

Did this years Presidential Election cycle start too soon? And has it gone on too long?

Answer 1

I too am tired of it. i dont really watch alot of television but when i do God d**n they are talking about Barack Hussein Obama. Enough allready!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I live in Australia and I have considered throwing a brick through the screen every time Obama comes on.

>.> I empathise with you, I know it must be worse.

Answer 3

This has dragged on FAR too long.  Bush became irrelevant about 2 years ago, meanwhile he still had a long way to go, and it took  the attention away from important issues.

I mainly blame Hilary for not conceding defeat a long time ago. She is some piece of work.  Egomaniac, with a hidden agenda.

Answer 4

I am sick of it, but whatever is necessary to make him the next president, i will watch the news over and over. That will be my sacrifice.

Answer 5

I'm not tired of it.  After all, people CONTINUE to complain they don't know a lot about that candidate.  Shouldn't then those same people crave more intimate details of every word that comes out of his mouth?  Is this not what's being asked for him?  He speaks SOMEwhere every day yet is unknown.  Now we want to complain we see him too much.  What can that guy do right?

I do agree the primary season draaaaaaaged on very messily.  I wish we could get a break and talk about something else.  Unfortunately though, I believe we're going to know every detail about these candidates by the time November rolls around because today's 24hour news cycle will make sure of it.  Is that good or is that bad???

To your other question: We have not in the past seen our candidates this much.  Remember, technology and media have evolved quite a bit!  Previously, we COULDN'T get this much info.  Now YOU could go out and create an 11P CNN newsbreak should you spot Obama in your local Wal-Mart!  Again, it's that 24 hour news cycle that has put these candidates constantly in front of us.  Add the fact that Obama's a 'historic' candidate and it's all she wrote.  ~tune in~
