… To Ask a Question

In a follow up to Obama’s little staged media events, which have been mentioned on this site a few times, it looks as though the media is being a little honest here and calling bs on Obama’s staged question and answer sessions. Two reporters, Chip Reid, and Helen Thomas, who has been a White House correspondent since the Garfield administration, laid into the press secretary for some answers. Of course they didn’t get any.  So again, we see Obama is doing a similar act of what Bush was accused of doing with his town hall meetings. In fact Helen basically stated the Obama administration’s pattern is unprecedented, which would mean being worse than Bush (this current administration’s pathetic benchmark for comparison of all things good and evil) in this instance.

Let’s see now. Things we didn’t like about Republicans that Obama is doing with very little protest from the left. The same left who were so adamant about how wrong things were (and in some cases rightfully so), and their claim about how Obama was the solution to the evil ills of the GOP.

1) Staged questions at media events—Check
2) Hand picking your science in the EPA involving global warming, and silencing those who show information that doesn’t support your political agenda-- Check
3) Firing investigators who might be a risk to your friends, supporters, or don’t toe the line – Check
4) Rampant uncontrolled spending with little oversight – Check
5) Political favoritism – Check
6) Lack of transparency – Check

I would honestly love to be educated by those on the Left. Can anyone explain at all why this behavior is now acceptable? So far, as has been my thought for quite a while, it has nothing to do with making America better. It’s all about partisan hackery. Those on the right can be and have been just as guilty, but let’s cut the bullshit illusions how those on the left really want to clean things up, or bring “change”. In reality it’s more of the same, and growing more corrupt as the power of government continues to increase. The only thing good about Obama is I’m sure the next idiot in office will be even worse.  This will make Obama look good by comparison.
