We’ve had candidates before to whom nothing would stick, but at least then things were being thrown at them and the voters decided what stuck. We now have our first candidate flying solo underneath the radar with nothing being thrown at him. Well, actually, things are being thrown, but Obama’s surrogates in his campaign and in the media shoot down and deflect every question. Investigative reporters sit around like a bunch of see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil monkeys, fighting off what should be a natural urge to be curious. A collective “hold your breath, close your eyes, and vote for Obama” zeitgeist controls many voters whose desire for change far outweighs their mental acumen (if the media isn’t feeding them the information, they are too lazy to search for themselves). Do people really hate Bush that bad that they are willing to possibly sacrifice the future of the country for someone who is untested and has enough suspicious connections to keep him out of other high ranking security jobs?
Bill Clinton once received a free pass from the mighty penetrating eye of the media… that was until Obama came along. Then the press ate him and Hillary alive and enjoyed every bite while the candidate of change tickled their ears with “rhetorical flourishes.” The left now has its pawn, but rest assured, one day, when Obama has outlived his usefulness, he too will be served up with a dollop of bitter herbs and a bunch of sour grapes as some new Messiah—a liberal composite of all left wing agendas— rides a white horse on to the political stage. Who knows, by then our country will have changed so much that investigative reporters will be outlawed for real, unlike their current self-imposed exile.
