If tragedy happened at sea, corp conservative media would hang Obama, so now we get crickets instead |
|
It would be 24/7 - why did Obama take so long to act?
Why did he choose the failed tactic that he did?
Well, since it was successful, the corporate conservative media aka CBS, ABC, CNN,NBC, and of course Fox will find other faults to fill up the news cycle.

4. It reminds me of how clever Clarence Thomas was when he used the term 'high tech lynching' |

Obama gets raked over the coals regardless of what he does.
I think the best move he can make is to keep focusing on the issues he can resolve and letting other people address the mess the MSM comes up with. Bill Clinton worried me with his immersion on his coverage throughout his 8 years. I am glad Obama isn't quite so caught up with the daily thrashing he receives from the press. He has some sense of humor about the neverending cycle of smirks.
For everyday they come up with their morning headline that they pound into us for the rest of the day, Obama does 3 to 5 other things which will impact us which does not get covered. By the time the media catches up with it, Obama has completed the steps necessary to make it happen. It is one way among many which I find Obama so impressive.

2. The thing that kills me is it wouldn't have been such a big deal if |
|
they hadn't invested so much in blaming Obama for it before anything went down. So since they tried to blame him in advance, he gets some credit when it goes right but they don't want to do that.
They did the same thing when the market was tanking. Everyday it was Obama causing the market to tank. When it started to go back up, crickets.

3. Right wings will spin it there way - "why did he have to give orders twice"? |
|
Obama is doomed either way with the right wingers. They will seize any sliver of BS to make a case against him, like the one being used now that he "held the military back", had to "give order multiple times" and "just got lucky".
Got to move on, look forward and understand that he will be attacked no matter what the outcome and there will be no pleasing the rabid forces who lost late last year.
