I enjoy screaming at the television for 3 hours a day to various media talking heads. A majority of the time I can agree or find common ground with them and their guests. I am usually very accepting of CCN, MSNBC, CSPAN, 1% of the time for Fox News. One thing that always gets me angry though has to do about Of course, Barack Obama. One thing that I see almost everyone doing is continuously suggesting Obama do the same damn thing he has been doing all along.
I get angry when people like Chris Matthews and Ratty Ratigen scream Obama needs to get rid of the teleprompter when 75% of the time you ever see him doesn't have a prompter anywhere in sight. They say "he needs to get rid of that dam n teleprompter" when the only times he does it is when everyone else needs one, during Oval Office addresses or Weekly Addresses. It also makes me laugh when these people do the same thing they slame Obama about doing. I can't imagine Matthews doing his show without constantly looking into his teleprompter. People say he raised taxes when he proves he hasl owered them every time he opens his mouth. Complaining he doesn't relate to average families when he openly states how he went from obscurity in an apartment building with his grandmother to the leader of thef rree world. Just today Huffington and Matthews were saying Obama wasn't showing the average middle classer like that first lady did in his town hall meeting just a few hours ago. Did they even watch it?
More examples are how Obama doesn't share his achievments well when he does every time he gets in front of a microphone. That he doesn't go to where people are when you see him speaking a persons freaking backyard. That he doesn't get different groups of people when he travels around the country every day eating at their local resteraunts and meeting people at gas stations.
The media has got a very selecetive memory. My best guess is they only follow polling. If the American people are angry with Obama one week, they will be angry with him, if they like him the next, they will prinkle flower petals over his head. They must also keep to their talking points until people no longer care. Afterall, the media is all about money.
What I am trying to say here is it annoys me when media talking heads complain Obama doesn't do what Obama does every chance he gets in front of a camera. Stop having such short term memory and give him credit where credit is due.
