The interview between Chris Wallace and President Obama is really annoying. I know that through the entire election process, he's been some kind of savior to millions... but hey, he's in office now. We have some serious problems. It's about time we stop worshiping and start holding the man accountable. We can't do that by praising every "right" move he makes, which any decent human being should make anyway.
While browsing Foxnews.com's blogs, I came across one by Betsy Newmark. The opening lines were: "I give Obama credit for doing on all those network and cable interviews yesterday in the midst of the whole fallout from the Daschle debacle and taking blame by telling ABC News “I screwed up.” He admitted to FOX News’ Chris Wallace that he shouldn’t have a double standard on taxpaying."
Listen, folks, this is ridiculous. Does he really deserve credit for admitting that he was being foolish with his cabinet picks? NO! People make mistakes and take credit for them all the time. Even former democratic President Clinton took credit for his mistakes, and he's a sleeze. The only difference is that the media wasn't all over it, giving him praise and respect. They tore him apart in the media.
What makes Clinton and Obama different? They are both democrats. They both made mistakes. They both took responsibility for them. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that Obama's mistake is worse, because he is dealing with people that effect the lives of all Americans. Clinton was just effecting Hillary, and really now... who cares about Hillary? They don't even sleep in the same bedroom, what would she care that he's cheating with an intern?
The difference is that Obama is black. Wow, sorry... should I not have said that?
Since he's a "history maker" and symbolizes a "new America" he is invinsible when it comes to criticism. It makes me angry. He is the president now, which mean he is not black. Color has no place in his ability to govern. So who cares? The media needs to stop giving him breaks on his stupidity just because of his skin color. Get real here. You guys hate racism, so stop playing into it. We are all Americans, so lets be treated the same whether black, white, yellow, green or whatever.
The bottom line is that yes, Obama messed up. Yes, Obama took credit for it. But he SHOULD NOT be patted on the back for it. Any decent person would do the same, and in fact, do everyday. So get over yourselves, news media. Grow some balls and find it in your journalistic agendas to get down to business and criticize his poor choices. Three tax-fraud nominees is a big deal. This is your money he's playing with. If nothing else, shouldn't you care where it's going?
Let's get real guys, and do some responsible reporting. I don't give a crap about his apology. I would rather hear about how he's going to get rid of the ridiculous pork in the stimulus bill. That would be great, thanks.
