Bob Schieffer CBS -- "Whatever Happened to Hope and Change?" (Iraq, Barack Obama)

[Yooperkat]

Barack Obama's senior campaign adviser Robert Gibbs certainly didn't expect this question when he agreed to go on CBS's Face the Nation Sunday.

Right out of the gate host Bob Schieffer pressed his guest about all the negative ads the President's campaign is running until he finally asked, "Whatever happened to hope and change?"

....if folks like Schieffer rather than buying into and disseminating candidate Obama's bogus hope and change mantra would have grilled the junior senator in 2008 about what his actual plan was as well as his qualifications for seeing it implemented, maybe the Face the Nation host wouldn't be asking this question today?

Well, where has Schieffer and the rest of MSM been for the last 3 1/2 years?

I totally agree with your premise. A few tough questions would have been merely doing their jobs (even during 2008 campaign).

If the press actually digs in and starts to turn, it will be a tsunami. There have been little chinks in the armor here and there, but so far, nothing has really taken hold. If they ever do pull their collective heads out, it will be something to see.

The MSM needs to start reporting how much Obama is in bed with Private Equity.

Hope and change. You got it? We all hope things get better, and all we have left is a bit of change in our pockets.

And who is our next contestant?

Yes, they need to start revealing his business donors side-by-side with video footage of his denigrations of capitalism.

Again, this would only be truth in reporting.

The lame stream media are nothing but whores for Obama and the left. They sold out their integrity at the altar of liberalism decades ago.

And the Obama administration has ripped holes in the pockets so now even most of our change is gone.

They sold out their integrity when they bought into the wmd`s in Iraq BS.No complaints from the reich wing then. BTW, "lame stream media" is a Palinism if I recall. I would choose someone else to steal simple minded one liners from.
