Our media is such an embarrassment. I can’t figure out what is more nauseating watching them gush and drool over Obama or listening to their miserable excuses about how they’re not really gushing and drooling over Obama.
Recently the New York Times refused a column from John McCain answering an earlier column from Obama. The Times defended its decision by saying it often requires rewrites from its writers, Yeah – I’m sure Obama rewrote his column half a dozen times before it was accepted.
But the worst was watching the media chase Obama around the globe like drunken groupies at an Eminem concert. Truth be told, I’ll bet a sizeable number of people outside the United States have no idea who the President of the United States is or even that there is an election in a few months. Heck – a startlingly high number of people walking down the street in New York can name the current President of the United States.
Arguably one of the most insulting things the King in waiting did while globe trotting was refusing to speak too or even go see the troops. There are reports trickling out of Afghanistan from average soldiers about how rude Obama was while visiting. Towards the end of his trip, he cancelled a trip to see wounded soldiers in Germany when the Pentagon told him that the media would have to stay home. I guess there is a rule somewhere that the military isn’t supposed to be involved in political stunts. When told that his convoy of cheap floozies and yes men would have to wait outside, he backed out. Naturally his said envoys tried several different ways of writing the story to make the military sound unreasonable.
Really strange coming from a bunch of people who as late as a few months ago were telling us that The War on Terror shouldn’t be used as a campaign issue. In typical left wing fashion, what they really meant was “The War on Terror shouldn’t be used as a campaign issue if it makes us look bad.” This is probably why the New York Times wouldn’t report on things like the national Iraqi elections, but I digress.
The other truly insulting thing Obama did was use his trip to the Wailing Wall as a stump. We know it was a stump because he took the media with him. If the Israelis refused to let reporters take pictures, he would have stayed home. This trip was insulting because the Wall is a Jewish holy site and Obama is a guy with ties to the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan. This is really repulsive when you stop and think about it. And it’s completely hypocritical when you consider that a good number of Obama supporters are hostile to religion in any form and political showboating in churches. Once again when they condemn these things, they’re only talking about when people they disagree with.
Naturally our media doesn’t see anything wrong with these things. They’re still taking pictures of him so he looks like he has a halo. They still write about him as if Obama is the Messiah. Gag. It reminds me of a High School Newspaper writing about the star football player. His trip in Germany resulted in many different reports of exactly how many were in the audience. Guess which one our media used? (I’ll give you a hint, it was the highest.)
But I’m not alone in my non-mystification by Obamania either. Israel National News.com published an open letter to the Messiah telling him to “just go home.” Even Al Jazeera openly wonders if the trip was “tripe”. You know it’s bad when the number one cover for Islamic terrorists think you’re pathetic. Maybe it’s because Obama gives the appearance of being his own religion. England’s Times online wrote a mocking piece written as if Obama was the chosen one.
I’m not up on my Christian lore, but isn’t there a prophecy about a false Christ coming preaching salvation and good will and peace and getting along but he’s actually an agent of the Devil? In a way, wasn’t his trip to the Wailing Wall a building of a temple of sorts (only this one is to himself)? And this antichrist was supposed to be in opposition to the Jews as well. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Obama want Israel to hand itself over to its Islamic enemies? No wait, he wants the Jewish population living in the Fertile Crescent region to not be there anymore. (I never used the word “war”.)
He must have slept through the Revelation teaching in church. It is pathetic when you stop and think about it, but not surprising either.
