-The media's love affair with Barack Obama


image from patriotpost


Thinking back to the verbal struggles George W. Bush had in his speeches and question and answer sessions, we heard an awful lot about them in the media. By no means was Bush a fantastic speaker. But the media portrayed him as a clown. But Barack Obama makes similar and even more embarrassing mistakes, and we can only hear about them on YouTube or other sources on buried on the

Compare for yourself what your reaction or the reaction of the media would have been had Bush made some of the same statements and mistakes Obama made.

From Politics and Finance:

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair's UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
