The full quote I submitted was
"The coverage of Obama's speech tonite would have benefitted from an on-screen cost-o-meter for the buffet of entitlements and military intervention he was promising on the tax-payer dime. He parroted the police-the-world foreign policy of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton with hard-line stances against Iran and supporting Georgia's random attack on South Ossetia. While he claimed he would cut taxes, he conditioned it by indicating that these cuts would only be for "95% of Americans". Barack Obama, based on his speech tonight, clearly doesn't understand how corporate taxation gets passed on to the poor via consumer price inflation. He made no apology in his speech for his votes in support of reauthorizing George Bush's Patriot Act, giving immunity to telecoms in the FISA Bill, or for voting to fund the disastrous Iraq occupation. Barack Obama's Democrat home-styled rags-to-riches rhetoric sounded more like Clinton and George W. Bush than the reformer he claims to be."

theres a link to the on-line component of what I submitted, the front page of the paper, which is Nashville's biggest newspaper, included a brief quote and a pic, with a full description on page 4 with an indication that I consider myself Libertarian.
