Acolytes of Obama

The press corps travelling with Obama are his acolytes as are the retinue of journalists shadowing McCain. They are Obama's true believers who have protected him from scrutiny and criticism. When Nancy Reagan purchased the White House new china (with private contributions if memory serves), national networks and local editorial boards castigated the callous Republicans who could have fed a thousand homeless, housed dispossessed families, or sent poor scholars through university with the lucre wasted on the extravagant porcelain. When Obama's wife spends a fortune on an afternoon snack of lobster, caviar, and Champagne at the Waldorf using campaign funds, there is hardly a peep. More investigation is devoted to a plumber who Obama visited canvassing on a p.r. plunge than has been done on the Democratic ticket with Obama's questionable associations and Biden's evident nepotism. The media practitioners of malpractice include the major networks with entertainers joining the one-sided sport. These execrable flacks can not hide their bias. Offal Olbermann even injects invective into sportscasts. Bill Maher praised the courage of the September 11 mass murderers with a backhanded slap to our own military. Charlie Gibson said a 14 year old girl who aspired to be a suicide bomber was "brave" instead of warped, deluded, and brainwashed. Even the network morning shows have been proclaiming tough economic times and recession helping create self-fulfilling prophecy for years to try to do fatal damage to the Republican brand. These people mock normal values, religious traditions, and they think they are better than you. Prove them wrong on November 4.
