Man up, Media and Open Your Eyes!

If Obama does not get it after this election, he never will. If the media does not get it after this election, it never will.

Now, you could easily argue that Obama absolutely gets it and he is doing exactly what he wants done in this country. He is a Cold Hearted Social Engineer and he thrives only by forcing others to obey him by fiat. I would be in that camp, have been for a long time. How could the most brilliant leader in the history of the world not know exactly what he is doing?
Change? He has never explained what he means by the word change. The media has never asked him, the media has never pinned him down on this, so, I will take it that they do not want to pin him down on this.

They worship his Vagueness.

Watch this video of a conversation Dear Leader had with Moveon.lies the day after getting smacked silly in the mid-terms.



Change? He never explains it to the Moveon.sad crowd because he doesn’t have to. They know that change means turn America socialist. Government takeover of car companies, healthcare and whatever else is next on their hit-list, maybe the food system in this country. Shouldn’t every American have the right to three squares a day?

Where is the media in all of this? Man up, media! Pin this guy down on what change really means to this guy. Get specific with him, demand he answer, follow up with him for as long as it takes. Dear Leader has done hundreds of one-on-one interviews since he started preaching the Religion of Change and not a single media person has asked him for chapter and verse.

My guess is he will avoid the question like the plague. He did give the answer to Joe the Plumber when he told Joe that his goal was to “spread the wealth.” But the activist old media destroyed Joe for daring to ask Obama the question that they still will not ask. What does change mean?

“We need to keep working hard to give Americans the change they want.” Dear Leader said that. Did he already forget the election returns the day after America rejected his “change?” Obama himself said that his agenda was on the ballot for the election and we all saw that America could not be more clear in its rejection of that agenda.

Now, Nancy Pelosi says it’s not her fault that Democrats got creamed early this month. It’s always entertaining to watch the Democrats and their inability at self-reflection. Like their activist old media, they see the world as they want it to be, not the way it really is. It’s no coincidence that reality does not work well when it comes to your local evening newscast and liberal politics. They are not only joined at the hip by agenda, they are joined by being delusionary about who they really are.

One of my complaints in the local newsrooms that I worked in was that we did not do “real” very well. We liked telling viewers early and often in our promos that we are, “part of your community,” or, “your neighbors in the newsroom,” or, “watching out for your neighborhood,” or whatever silly slogan was used. The reality is that the local TV newsrooms are more connected to grabbing stories out of the daily newspaper and repeating them, or repeating what they are told by the last public official they spoke to than they are at being on the pulse of a community. If you try to do “real” on a TV newscast you don’t last very long…but that’s another story for another day and it gets personal so I’ll let that go for now.

Which brings me full circle to why the libs and the media seem so intertwined. They have a nearly identical mindset. Every time Dear Leader does a one-on-one interview and talks about “changing America,” real

Americans sit there and yell at their TV sets and say, “ya, we know what you mean about change, you said it to Joe the Plumber,” the reporter nods and acts delusionary and moves on to the question about what Michelle is planning to wear during their next vacation. Blind leading the blind. Reporter and subject cannot see themselves for who they are.

Perhaps it’s much easier for both of them that way—of course, it’s nearly destroyed our country in the meantime. Nearly. The Conservative Wave is building and the beautiful thing is—neither the liberals or the media can see it.
