"When did it become rude for the media to ask a question?"
Let me see, I don't think it was rude but I will need proof that McCain canceled an entire interview because that question.
In return to that question I ask this:
Why can't people admit that if Barack Hussein Obama was named Wilbert Robert Franks and both parents were White and from North Dakota but had the exact same path as Barack he wouldn't even be mentioned as president. Why?
