The Media is venting just like we are....on MSNBC and CNN |
|
Its like a massive explosion of "enough of this sh*t"
The Birth Certificate Lunacy has been blown to the wind.. the ugliness of what it was really about is being peeled back.
I know it will not last.. but it is good to see someone as angry as I am about this. It has been years of this garbage.

1. If we're lucky, that will last for a full 24-hour news cycle |

Then it's Will&Kate and the college transcripts.

I clearly had the impression over the last two weeks that some of the reporters were disgusted and embarrassed about having to cover this foolishness - Chuck Todd and Samantha Guthrie, who barely refrained from rolling their eyes, come to mind. Now they seem to feel free to be much more dismissive to the story.
That's something some of those who are beating up on the President for releasing the certificate don't seem to understand. The President wasn't responding to his critics - he knows that they'll never let up on him. He was giving the media and sane people in the middle something they needed to move on. And it seems to be working.
For example, Martin Bashir just teased his program with, "Calling out the carnival barker. The President says, "enough is enough.'" That's pretty strong stuff.

to talk about trump go there...and not take up space with every other post about trump...we are doing the same thing that the media is doing by obsessing on everything that trump has to say..
