"Can you raise my tire pressure? Obama told me too!"

Well we were talking about entertainment

I did notice that at a point the coverage on McCain became more negative. It was shortly after McCain's campaign went mainly negative while Obama's remained mostly positive. Coincidence?

I strongly beleive that if he stayed positive there would have been more good things to say about him.

Let's give this situation:

"Obama today said he promises to do X and Y"

"Today McCain accused Obama of being X and Y"

You could report those as straightforward as you like, the second one naturally sounds more negative. It also didn't help that for a while McCain was harping on the same old points (this climaxed in the debates where at one point McCain responded 3 or 4 times in a row with different wordings of "he's gonna raise taxes!"), this didn't make for fresh news so Obama got more coverage.

I have said it before and I'll say it again: no matter who won the Presidency, the real problem of Congress still has not been fixed meaning all we got was a new figurehead.

Im with you on that one. Only time will tell if we are better off.
