No one has blamed President Obama yet? It's time for an investigation. Is Neal Boortz still on the radio?

This blame game that is going on by the national media is crazy. The amount of blame that the Mayor of Atlanta is getting is insane. I was watching Morning Joe and Mika was actually attacking Mayor Reed for the amount of people that were on the interstate. The national media is not stating that it was a bad mix of so many different elements that caused this to happened not anyone persons fault.

I delicate Ice Cube's song (Check Yo Self) to Mayor Reed on how he handled the media when they tried to blame for for stuff he had no control over.

I saw that and Mika was being an ASS.

Too often the media gets lazy with how they cover these types of situations. They aren't making any distinctions between the different parts of Metro Atlanta as far as how they've been affected. The news media keeps making it seem like it's all just ATLANTA regardless of whether they're showing gridlock images in Cobb county or actually in the city.

Funny you should mention that. Obama has been strangely silent throughout this whole crisis.

Goes to the outside world doesnt know much about Atlanta like many of the boosters try to promote. People know and think certain things about Atlanta, but its not a well documented city like New York City.
