Our Effin' Media in Full Effect
As I watched the President's press conference this morning, I got sick to my stomach. There was our effin' media (dare not call them "reporters") in full form and true to their nature -- a pack of hyenas!
They were out to push the blame for both, the Connecticut event and the fiscal cliff, away from themselves and the limp, confused, and scurrilous Congress. They tried mightily to pin the blame for our sorry situation on the President! He's made the mistake of trying to help Congress do its job!
There's an old story of the employee who, abused by his boss all day, comes home and takes it out on his wife. She then takes it out on the kids. They go out and kick the dog. Such is the nature of displaced anger. We, as a nation, have a huge amount of pent-up anger, brought on by the combined failures and abuses of the Cheney/Bush years. The President is right: the answer to our problems lie "in our homes and in our hearts" -- especially so for the 47%.
Obama springs on the scene in 2008, willing to "reason" with all sides and "heal" our economy and the world's financial problems. We elect him. He tries bold things, not before successful -- and succeeds! The belittled and shamed opposition (guilty of committing the atrocities) tries everything short of physical attack, to undermine anything he tries -- thereby assuring his failure. They pick a Big Money Boy to take him out in the 2012 election, and they fail at that! Big Money Boys of the "financial" sort are scrambling to get their fingerprints off the "gun trade" in light of the Connecticut shootings. Jim McTague in Barrons (December 17, 2012) explains the "betrayal" of Boehner and McConnell by the Business Roundtable -- check it out!
Our so-called "free" (but expensive and profit-driven) Press has come to their rescue; if this morning's press conference is any measure. Keeping the fight alive on the fiscal cliff issue while also profiting from the media coverage of the Connecticut event, is right down the alley of this bunch. The interest of the nation "be-damned"! Disciples of the Limbaugh school of "reporting"; they also keep the years-long frenzy against the President alive as we approach Christmas.
Shame on Them! This nation is in dire need of emotion-free, fact-laden reporting; not the crap-stirring and instigating that we get 24/7! A President who persists in "reasoning" with the hate-filled and un-principled; may be perceived as "weak" but the fact that he continues to "win" against tremendous odds should give the opposition pause.
Stay Vigilant!
