Okay, now that the press has gotten their Messiah elected, when does the worshipful coverage end? For the lazy among us, who do not wish to follow the issues to determine that the mainstream media have been in the tank for Obama, here is the Reader's Digest illustration for you. While Obama vacations in Hawaii, he is photographed on the golf course and on the beach. On the beach, naturally, he is photographed without a shirt. For a middle-aged guy like me, he looks pretty okay. He obviously works out to keep from ballooning up into the typical middle-aged paunch, but he's no Will Smith. But how do the headlines and captions read? Fit for Office. Fit to Lead. Shirtless Obama Looks Buff in Beach Photos. Hail to the Beef! Obama Abs Cause Stir.
Well, I'm sorry, but I have looked, and I don't see any abs. I see the faintest indication that there are abs under there, but they are disguised under a layer of middle-aged man gut. Trim middle-aged man gut, but gut, nonetheless. And pecs? Gimme a break! Those are man-boobs! If you think I am wrong, Google "abs" and see what kind of images pop up. But, the national press corps sees only the Adonis-in-Chief. Well, I am here to tell you, the emperor has no clothes. And he is mortal.
Oh, for the whipped cream on the Obamas' Hawaii vacation Macadamia-Pineapple pie, the Associated Press has named Tina Fey, whose main accomplishment for the year was to make Sarah Palin look like an idiot, the Entertainer of the Year. This is the same Associated Press that virtually all newspapers in the country use as their main source of news.
Media bias? Na-a-a-a-a-aw!!
