Is anyone else sick of "journalists" asking one another "Do you think the President understands...?"

[EffieBlack]

followed by what they believe to be some profound insight into one or another particular issue?

"Do you think the President understands just how important it is to win in Afghanistan?"

or

"Do you think the President understands just how serious the unemployment situation is?"

or

"Do you think the President understands how much the world's view of America matters in foreign policy?"

The self-perceived intellectual and political superiority of these people is breathtaking. I'm sure the President thanks the Lord every day that these people who have spent their lives doing little but talking are on television each night so that they can help him better "understand" the complex issues he has the arrogance and temerity to think he's qualified to handle.

1. I'm just glad I don't listen to pompous

ass mediawhores anymore.

You guys are tough as nails to be able to listen to that dribble.

[liberal N proud]

2. They are not journalists

[FrenchieCat]

3. I'm fucking tired of all of them......

and am no longer watching any of those channels.

Them and those here who keep saying the same shit over and over again,
aren't going to get me down.

My son in law found himself a good job, and he and my daughter are about to go househunting,
and my other daughter's boyfriend also just found a job last month,
and according to my hubby, the economy is about to really turn around.

Time is a bitch, but time will show out everything.
I've got plenty of it....

Not a problem.

8. Yay, you give me hope Frenchie! My dtr just got a great job at a top company.

Good benefits, great salary. We were afraid she and her family would lose their house! Such a relief.

Hubby has to get a job, after being laid off with 12 other people at City Hall in New Haven. It might take a long time.

As you say "time will show out everything." Lots to be happy about here...

4. one of the not-so-subtle forms of the r-card game in post-racial america

after 25 years of working in corporate america, i am very familiar with that game.

q: "are you sure you know how to use the software"
a: "yes, i am a real accountant, really"

[EffieBlack]

5. EXACTLY!!!

[firedupdem]

12. +1...Yup...you just summed it up. At the end of the day, no matter

how much education and experience, you still might just not "understand".

[KansDem]

6. Yes, and I'm also tired of "journalists" saying, "A lot of people are nervous now..."

"...about the President"

DU thread

Oh really, O'Reilly? What "people?" :eyes:

[Empowerer]

7. You know - all those Democrats who are always

confiding in right-wing pundits.

[annabanana]

9. heh. . Oh THOSE people. .. .n/t

10. I thought my respect for journalists could go no lower, till I heard Palin

has a degree in journalism.
Nice hair, no brain - sums it up pretty well.

11. K&5thR. YES! And I hate it even more when they SAY Obama doesn't understand-

that he's "too intellectual" or "unfocused" if you can believe it. It seems like they're now trying to turn him into Bush Sr.

[PopSixSquish]

13. Oddly Enough I Read the Same Types of Questions on DU

as if President Obama wasn't supremely aware of the world around him...
