Dontcha Worry Bout Nuthin, Mr. Obama

A big difference in the way Republicans and Democrats are perceived is how the media depicts them. If you think the media is totally fair and unbiased in these depictions, you might be a liberal.

When former Vice President, Dan Quayle misspelled the word "potato," the press made him out to be a cretin. If memory serves me correctly, even Saturday Night Live had a skit about that embarrassing moment and it is emblazoned in those of us who were witness to the event.

But this past Thursday, at a White House tribute  to "Women of Soul," President Obama introduced singer Aretha Franklin thus: "When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her . . .  [the audience began laughing at this moment] . . . she had no idea it would become a rallying cry for African Americans and women and anyone else who felt marginalized because of what they looked like, who they loved. They wanted some respect."

Well, Mister Fifty Seven States, you don't have to worry 'bout nuthin. The media's got your back, unlike Dan Quayle, whose back they so easily slipped the knife into. By the way, did you know, Mr. President, that your friend, Jay Z, thinks he's spelling Jersey?

We Sometimes Say "Potatoe"

It's a good thing the Associated Press covers the president's educated butt or else he might just sound less intelligent than, say, George W. Bush or the "Potatoe Man," Dan Quayle. 

But he knows where Idaho's located

While there wasn't much they could do when he declared that in his presidential campaign he toured almost all 57 states, he said something on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno that shows his lack of geographical knowledge of the United States. When talking about our infrastructure, he mentioned how we need to dig deeper channels in our Gulf ports to accomodate our large supertankers; ports in the Gulf like Charleston, SC,  Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL. 

Anyone born in the USA who was educated here probably knows there are only 50 states in the union and the ones Obama mentioned are located along the eastern seaboard, not in the Gulf. That doesn't mean Obama was born in Kenya, or Indonesia, or wherever the latest rumor claims, but it does mean that no matter how lame a statement Obama makes, AP is going to cover his butt like they did in their reporting by adding a parenthetical statement that he didn't say.

The press is so disgustingly liberal, biased, unfair, and blind to their own stupidity, that you cannot trust them or the mainstream media. So, do you plan to watch the hard-hitting Hillary series?

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
