Harsh words of a politician

For ages politicians have made aggressions toward the other candidate, so much so that this has become common practice for politicians. CNN provided this article "Obama takes swipe at McCain advisor's health care comments". I thought this article was just like any other article dealing with politics these days. One candidate was saying something about another candidate, and then the whole process repeats itself. It amazes me that the media keeps covering every single attack as if it were a new story. What the media really should be paying attention to is the thoughts and views of the candidates so that people can be more educated in their voting process. No one should really care if one candidate is bashing the other, because that just shows immaturity on the part of that particular candidate. John McCain has been in the headlines more than Barack Obama for bashing the other candidate in these elections. He is being portrayed as the more aggressive type in this race by the media, which could either help him or cost him the election. People will not want a president who loses his temper a lot, because he might just blow up in the wrong times and cost us a key ally or trading partner. However it is not as if the media has not caught Obama bad mouthing McCain either as portrayed in this CNN article. However in the end, we should not be hissy fighting over who can make the best attacks on the other candidate, we should be focusing on their points of view so that we can decide who we are going to vote for on November 4th.
