Subject: media worship of Obama
Bart, what if it's worse than you think?
You wrote:

But, what if that's not the case?
What if the general election campaign comes,
and the networks are still all-hail-Obama, all the time?
As an honest man who's into logic, I'd have to
say that's a possibility.
There's no evidence to suggest that, but it's
certainly possible.
What if Obama is the candidate 'they' really want
this time?
One who, because he's black and a Democrat, can
carry on the Bush legacy with impunity?
Oh Jesus, are you saying what I think you're saying?
That Obama is a GOP tool, sent here to trick us?
On the surafce I'd say no, then then again, that
would explain why the "war lovers"
are pulling for him and it would explain all
the media swooning and fainting over him.
Will the Bush crimes go unpunished in 2009?
Will Obama make the same 'mistake' that Clinton
did with Iran-Contra,
and just let it all go for the sake of 'moving
on?'
Obama has no choice on that.
He's promised to "reach across the aisle" but
he can't do that
if he tries to hold Der Monkey responsible for
his war crimes.
Is 'maverick' McCain the Republicans' true best
choice as a candidate?
Or, as in '96 with Dole, are they just giving
the old man a shot as a favor,
a phony sign of respect, and grooming their 'real'
candidates for the next round?
You're scaring me with that kind of talk.
The single biggest knock against Obama is - who
is he?
He's never said much in his speeches, just stuff
like, "You can't expect change
to come from the top down, change must come
from the bottom up."
That means absolutely nothing, but it drives his
crowds into hysteria.
Nothing wrong with being vague, but an unknown
who's vague can be scary.
Perhaps a wager is in order here. I'll put a $50
donation against a pound of
The South's Finest Chocolate that Obama continues
to receive the Bush treatment
during the general election campaign. I don't
know if we'll be seeing McCain in
space-suits, too, but it won't be far from that.
I like gambling, but what does "receive the
Bush treatment" constitute?
How the media treats Obama isn't in itself evidence
of what to expect from him in office.
But we should all remember to look back at your
words today -- he who is universally
praised by the whore media is not our friend.

I had that same idea at the grocery store today.
If people are undecided about how to cast their
vote this year,
take the easy way and vote for whoever the
whore media hates most.
That would give us Clinton 44.
