I will start with a good example of the crap of being thrown around! Last night on the Countdown, this expert Science guy Michio, came on to discuss the oil leak, and He was doing ok until the HIT JOB at the end. He said, and remember, During Chernobyl, the RED AIR FORCE had to take over to solve that crisis, maybe that is what is needed in the GULF>
WTF? REALLY? This guy is an expert??? OMG! The RED AIR FORCE? There was NO RED AIR FORCE back in 1986(never was) it was the Soviet Air Force. Another thing, they finally cased the Nuclear REactor site of Chernobyl in CEMENT, where all the wokers died from immense radioactivity.
The REd Air Force. UGGH!!! So, the noton that this guy was an expert, seems kind of strange to me. NO?
Join me over the jump for discussion on the Media narrative:
Another example, is Chris Matthews, who keeps insisting that the President is relying on BP to save our NATION. No, the POTUS said that BP has a vested interst in shuting this well, because it is costing them billions, it is in there best interest to shut the well(MAKES SENSE)! Then, on comes Howard the duck FINEMAN(who is now a tea bagger), who claims that Obama should not worry about the 1990 oil act law, that says that the Company that caused the leak is Responsible and has to pay for all of the damages. He says Obama should just take over and worry about the law later. Seriously, REALLY? And what do you suppose would happen then, Mr. FIneman? You do not think that with all the enemies this President has in D.C., that somebody would call for a Hearing on the matter? HMMMM! And we will not even get into CARVILLE'S kill the President tour(he is on something)!
So, it begs the question: WHAT gives? Why does the media and its allies want Obama to take charge so badly? They have been told by EXPERTS, that they do not have the expertise to do the job and that BP has the technology, they have been told that the law on the books because of the Exxon Valdez crisis, says that they are the responsible party for paying for all damages and stopping the leak, with the Federal government as oversight. But all the MEDIA talking heads have there talking points and SLAM this President for NOT TAKING OVER!
This is swiftboat 101, directly from Karl Rove's playbook, if you say a lie long enough, people believe it> You know, this is Obama's Katrina.
Sadly, They are holding this President to a Higher standard than any other.
Because the Press was in Bed with GW when he wanted to go to WAR in IRAQ. No follow up question to the supposed YELLOW CAKE in Africa nonsense, and so the American Public bought it.
The fifth estate is owned by corporations(republicans) and thus they sell the public whatever it wants. Propaganda at its best, only the casualty they want to sell us now is President Obama's head on a platter. SAD!
