Stephen Eisel wrote:Obama 4+ years of media scrutiny
A little over 4 years ago, Obama gave the speech that propelled him into the public spotlight. One could make a pretty solid argument at that point and time many in the Democratic Party saw him as the next presidental candidate, and he has been in the media crosshairs.
He has been in them so long, we forget many of the bumps in the road.
As Bill Maher put it so well the other night. If Barack Obama had been seen addressing a convention of "separatists" that Michelle was a key organizer with, using terms like "Gods Will," and "Keep up the good fight," while their 17 year old daughter unmarried was standing next to them pregnant, you do not think the press and the Right would not be having a field day.
The clip from that convention that Sarah Palin said, "Keep up the good fight," make Rev. Wright seem like a stand-up proud American.
Come Eisel, you know that is true. We have the proof. Bill O'Riley telling America that Jamie Spears and Britney Spear's mother was to blame for Jamie's pregnancy. That it was her mother that had failed and was incompetent. We know what Rush and other said when Micelle Obama said, "Now I am finally proud of my country." What if she would have said, "Illinois, we must get out of the United States, we must separate from the the other 49..."
The right and the pundits have become a joke, say anything do anything to get elected. 4 and 8 years ago I said, "Any group working this hard with lies, supression of votes, perversion of the electoral and judical process want the office so bad they must be up to no good. And look, war profiteering on the "peace dividened" the failure of education and the economy. More layoffs than jobs created while they help American manufacturing move overseas. Help, I mean also finance it. Their plan was to gut and loot America, and they have.
The list of things we are not supposed to ask, or question is so long it is crazy that America has sat still. Numero Uno, Caryle Group. Nemero Two-o, NAtional energy policy crafted by Enron, and meeting minutes that have never seen the light of day, even after they wind up in prison.
FWIW
