You don't think it is a bit ridiculous that Obama supporters often bring up Bush instead of defending Obama? Perhaps it is fitting since in so many ways they are practically the same guy on so many policies.
Typical conversation:
-Obama just did a signing statement.
--So what Bush did them too.
-Bush didn't say they were illegal, promise not to do them, say that they were against his core fundamental beliefs and values, and then do it 2 months after the election. Obama did.
--Bush was the liar.
Bush was an awful president. Obama isn't any better. When do we get to hold Obama accountable for his own actions?
What do you want Obama held accountable for? Extending health insurance to tens of millions of uninsured or saving the U.S. auto industry?
For those who think the media is not Obama's propaganda machine you missed the good old days when the NYTimes, for instance, would actually do research on news stories and give perspective along with the story.
Pols could never get away with saying, "we have to pass it to see what's in it" they would be excoriated by the press, their spokesman would claim the comment was made in a state of exhaustion and a long hospital stay had already begun.
The press would have twisted obama dry on many of his policy reversals, at least, demanding to know the reason for his latest position. The press would have been all over the trend to intentionally waste taxpayer money on solar boondogles. No such followup by the press.
To not see the protective wall constructed around Obama by the media is to be hopelessly blind and ultimately damned.
It wasn't that suddenly BB wrote an article and millions were provided with talking points. Any single celled creature with human DNA, that knew to come in out of the rain, could see the media grooms following Obama's parade with a shovel and a broom.
Its easy to prove. Which of the following events did the media cover more ??
1. GW Bush (rep) lied and said Iraq had something to do with Sept 11, (Iraq had nothing to do with sept 11)
2. Bill Clinton (dem) lied about his personal sex life.
Which event did the media cover more?
Answer: the media attacked Clinton 1,000x worse.
Uh, yeah, because #1 never happened. You expect them to make stuff up? Ok, well I guess you do, since you're an obvious liberal, and that's what the liberal media outlets do, but you can't seriously be arguing that!
Good thing I was already sitting the toilet for my morning constitutional when I saw this thread.
TMI, Bob... TMI.
