CNN Obama headline seems rather misleading
"Obama will head north as draft movement picks up". http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/29/democrats.obama.ap/index.html

To me, it sounds like he's running to Canada to avoid the draft. Isn't that the kind of statement that was usually associated with men going north to prevent conscription into the military and a trip to Vietnam? I just think it was worded in such a way as to make future voters think he's not a nice person. This is the way the allegedly liberal media uses words to convey a certain impression, and leave readers with a negative impression about someone who may run for president.
