I don't know if there are specific rules against writing about the activities of an organization that DailyKos is associated with, so I present this to the readership with the hope that I am not breaking any rules.

Because I was so impressed by the creativity of and inspiration in these ads, I was compelled into making my first donation to MoveOn.org. One of these advertisements deserves to be aired on television, so I hope others who have not yet made a contribution will be encouraged to donate to the cause as I have.

This is my first diary and it's a partial one so don't flame me. Ha!

I didn't see a diary begun as to Obama on Fox News Sunday, but it is thirty minutes in here in Maryland. I thought that this could be used as an open diary to discuss the interview.

Thus far, I think Obama is holding his own pretty well and Fox News hasn't made any obvious edits that could be slanted. But this is just my initial opinion. He has addressed Wright, Ayers, flag pins...
