Sounding Off 11.13.2008
Well, it has been an interesting week. Obama was elected president, and we’re still talking about Sarah Palin.
Really? I mean, come on. Let’s think about the absurdity of a press who shrugs off any negative story on Obama (his support of domestic terrorists, rampant corruption in his state and federal positions) and they still report the most inane rumors they can find on Sarah Palin a week after she loses the election.
Really?
Some unknown source says she didn’t know that Africa is a continent … Hey, I’ve got an email with a video in it where Obama slips up and mentions his “Muslim faith.” You gonna run with that, too?
No. What we ask Obama is: what kind of dog will you get your daughter? How do you feel about the BCS?
Hannity keeps saying 2008 is the year journalism died. At first I suspected he was just being negative … I’m starting to believe him.
On a related front, the Obama campaign kicked off three newspapers from traveling with them, the only three who had backed McCain for the presidency. I wonder what would have happened if McCain had kicked off all reporters associated with the major networks besides Fox News and the newspapers that backed Obama … hmnn. By the way, Fox News, the only interview to really give Obama a tough time and tough questions, is also being frozen out by the Obama staff.
These are the actions of a despot, not the “leader of the FREE world.”
In the spirit of bipartisanship, promised by Obama himself on election night, Obama appointed one of the most partisan Democrats around, this according to the New York Times and the LA Times, as his Chief of Staff. I must have a different definition of bipartisan in my dictionary …
Although Obama has spoken out about Reid trying to get rid of Lieberman as head of his Senate comittee, but who knows how sincere that is and what will happen. Talk is if Lieberman is openly censored like this, he’ll switch parties.
One of the bright spots this week is the overwhelming kindness and graciousness shown by Bush and his administration. It is rare for the sitting president of an opposing party to be so gracious so soon. Good for G,W.
I’m sure Michael Moore is making a documentary on some diabolical conspiracy behind why Bush is being so nice.
Peace.
