Anyone get to see CBS Sunday Morning Show last Sunday (Fathers’ Day)? I just got to watch a tape of it, and I must say, the Mainstream Media’s fawning devotion to the image of Barack Obama hasn’t slackened one bit. If anything, the liberal MSM is slavering over him more than ever.
Some of you might remember the positively rhapsodic descriptions of the Obama Presidency, then just a few days old, back just after Inauguration Day. Comparisons to FDR were common, as in, "Barack Obama is here to save us from economic catastrophe," for example. I remember thinking that in terms of domestic policy, the comparisons were probably more than apt. In terms of foreign policy, however, there is little similarity. I can't, for example, imagine FDR, who was at least a strong President, coddling outlaw states such as Iran and North Korea.
Well, the latest iteration, as seen Sunday on CBS, is Barack Obama, superparent. The show devoted a whole segment to what a great father Obama is, in spite of the fact that he led a deprived childhood, his natural father having left him and his mother when he was but 2 years old, the poor baby. CBS’ fawning host even went so far as to say, “Every parent in America is watching you raise your children.”
I think I’m safe in saying that every parent isn’t doing that. Some of us are busy trying to win the election in 2012 in an attempt to limit the damage he’s doing selling us out to Iran and Korea and igniting inflation in the economy a la 1979. Can anyone say, “Welcome back Carter?”
But come on, MSM. Can we try reporting, once in a while, some of the negative things occurring as a result of Obama’s misguided policies? After all, the negative vastly outweighs the positive, and some of it is even a little bit more important than the Obama kids.
