Media has canonized "Saint Barack, Patron Saint of Strength, Hope and all Things Good"

Saint Barack -- Patron Saint of Strength, Hope and all Things Good

Admittedly, Obama is an inspirational speaker--although vacuous at times--and surely he has caught the imagination of young progressives throughout America.

But the media?

It is totally irresponsible that CNN, Fox News and nearly every other major network have decided that it will be the media and not the American voters (a.k.a. the unwashed masses) who will choose our next President. Even the so-called liberal talk show hosts (e.g., Ed Schultz on Air America) have turned against the one voice of reason among the leading Democrats--down now to only the Evil Witch Hillary and Good Saint Barack after this evening's "second Super Tuesday."

While Hillary is pilloried at every turn, her opponent in these waning weeks of the primary season is given a free ride. He can plagiarize recent speeches and his wife can "discover" that she is now proud to be an American for the first time in her life ... and yet the media is entirely preoccupied with telling us how it is impossible for Hillary to come back from the hole she has dugged [sic] for herself (actually dug with an earth mover by the media) as we approach the third (count 'em!) Super Tuesday on March 4.

Just a little personal note and then I'll get out of your face.

I watched Hillary on television during the early days of Bill's presidency debating with medical doctors, HMO lawyers and pharmaceutical company execs on her Health Care Reform program--long before it became the "in" thing to defend. She was articulate, courageous and focused on the need. And it struck me even then--she was so totally alone!

I wondered then how long it would take for the American people to "discover" her.

Well, they did--fifteen years later ... and then the media stepped in and decided they had another candidate who would better tune up their ratings.

Now, we have Saint Barack (Obama) whose smugness is so obvious to the average American that the media are having to bend over backwards to blind the American people … staring blankly at their screens ... from noticing his smug, sometimes arrogant demeanor.

And I think they are succeeding.

But I'm a stubbborn old fart; I doubled my $5 bet on Hillary this evening in spite of everything!

As Mike Huckabee said when they suggested he step down and out of the Republican race, "Why? Do we live in Russia?"
