Obama’s incompetence is killing America but we can’t begin to recover until the media changes sides
By Kevin “Coach” Collins
When a jerk like Bill Maher starts attacking Barack Obama as being incompetent and the media hasn’t yet noticed The Dear Leader’s shortcomings, we are living in a bad movie not the America we know. The other night Maher actually waxed nostalgic for the steady hand of George Bush!
The lap dog media has not only refused to criticize Obama, but it actually goes the other way and tells us “the recovery will be here by the end of the year.” Insulting isn’t it?
Even the idiot masquerading as a Vice President is telling us things are worse than he thought they would be. Apparently he doesn’t get the media’s memos. Biden is saying the high unemployment rates are a “surprise.” Of course as a liberal Democrat who knows nothing about economics he is surprised. The rest of us aren’t.
The Media has to change sides
Remember last summer when Bush was president and gasoline prices were creeping up? Every night we were fed stories about people “suffering while BIG OIL gouges us.”
Lately we have seen pump prices jump sometimes 10 cents in a single day, but what coverage have these increases received? Not even whispers although they are climbing before our eyes.
Does anyone doubt unemployment will be over 10% by the end of next week?
When those numbers are released does anyone doubt the media will attempt to distract us with stories about how some small industry in a small state that is “thieving?”
The damage the lap dog media is doing by refusing to tell the truth is serious as a heart attack. Our Founding Fathers’ design never included a media that became submissive to government instead of the watch dog it is supposed to be.
We can’t begin to recover until the media changes sides.
Our American experiment was never designed to run in the lopsided distortion we have today. When our Founding Fathers created our country they were rightly suspicious of government so they “assigned” the media to watch the government to keep it on the proper path and working for us.
Nevertheless, since the media won’t do its job we have to do it for them. We have to get and stay informed so we can take our own lives into our own hands. We can not trust government and we can not trust the media to tell us what government is doing. It’s up to each of us. Will you sit and watch or stand and fight?
