Do I have a sale for you....Barack Obama Scandals!
I’ve just watched an hour of ‘Race for the White House’ with David Gregory and an hour watching Hardball with Chris Matthews. They both spent their entire hour discussing Barack Obama.
They discussed either the Reverend Wright issue (Will the issue go away, they asked? Well DUH?). They discussed his interview with the ‘Today’ show (will it help make the Wright story go away? Well DUH?). They discussed the Indiana/North Carolina primaries being held next Tuesday (will the Wright story hurt Obama? Well Duh?). They discussed the polls and how they appear to show the Wright story ‘has indeed’ hurt Obama. Well Duh?
I then turned to Lou Dobbs on CNN. They too were discussing Obama and his Reverend. Lou got to discussing a photo of Michelle and Barack sitting on a picnic table speaking to voters. Someone said Michelle looked angry. Lou implied the photo was very ‘telling’ (not a quote). That is bologna. Tired maybe, sad maybe, but ‘not’ angry. Besides, isn't there more important news then one photo out of millions? What is it with these media people?
Soon after that I watched a portion of a CNN Election Center with Campbell Brown. Is it me or does she appear to be a little bit like a Fox interrogator? They too were talking about Barack Obama, but included a bit about Hillary. One guest said that Hillary needed to win both North Carolina and Indiana or she was out of the race. Campbell immediately stepped in saying something like, not really, it’s always been assumed that Obama would win in North Carolina and Hillary’s brought that race close.
The only show on television that was showing any good news about Barack Obama and any 'other' news was Countdown with Keith Olbermann. He pointed out the polls that showed Obama still ahead in North Carolina. He pointed out the number of delegates Obama got today as well as Hillary’s count and how many Obama’s gotten since Super Tuesday in Febrary. Keith showed part of the interview where Obama explains some of his feelings about this ‘big state’ strategy that Hillary and the media are claiming proves he can’t ‘close Hillary out’.
What happened tonight is not unusual. It's been happening for several weeks.
We’ve heard very little about Hillary Clinton and the news about her losing a very important superdelegate today. We’ve heard nothing about the new evidence that she’s lied about the company that closed down in Indiana being the fault of her own husband. We hear no more on her lie about her Bosnia trip. She had to apologize once and all is forgiven? That’s fair and balanced...NOT. We hear nothing about her interview with O'Reilly 'except' what she thought about the Wright issue of course. What about the story of her Senior Aide Caught Distributing Right-Wing Obama Attacks For Months?
I didn’t hear anything about the person John McCain fired for having ties to Hezbollah – accept on Countdown. Very little about his wife lifting recipes and claiming they were hers. Very little about McCain’s flip flopping on tax cuts and helping those people losing their homes. How about what 'his' pastor friend Hagee and what he said today?
We hit a 7 month high in deaths in Iraq. Did you know that? We also hit the anniversary for Mission Accomplished by Bush, did you know that? Nope, guess not. Unless you watched Countdown you probably don't. Barack's scandal is more important.
Remember that girl (Natalee Ann Holloway) that ended up missing in Aruba almost three years ago? Remember how the media stayed on that story for weeks and weeks, into months? She was brought back into the story line just last month I believe. Nothing personal toward the girl, but the media acted as though time had stopped at this girls disappearance. No other girls have disappeared or been killed. People weren't dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc..
Well – that’s what’s happening with Barack Obama’s story.
It’s Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama...and by the way....Obama again.
If Saturday Night Live wants a GOOD sketch – they sure have one now. I’m betting however, they won’t do one. They LIKE the Hillary story line better. Poor Hillary.
I’m a Obama fan and have been from the start. Even if the news about him was all GOOD news, I wouldn’t support this kind of repeated nonsense. I don't know about you but I want a little bit of news about 'everything', not just one topic.
These people have turned into INFOMERCIALS selling one product: Barack Obama's Scandal
Can somebody, anybody tell me of a news hour, political talk show that talked about something other than Barack Obama? Other than Countdown which I respect dearly. If there is one – I want to change the station to them when it's time.
