Journalists who don't kiss Obama's feet
The American Thinker ^ | June 01, 2009 | James Lewis

Posted on 06/01/2009 2:10:18 AM PDT by Scanian

The London newsies of Fleet Street have no respect -- for very much at all, including the Queen, PM Gordon Brown or -- shock! -- not even for His Utterliness Barack Hussein Obama, He Who Must Not Be Laughed At. This lèse majesté will no doubt upset the ranks of the American media, which has transformed the fine art of butt-kissing into a veritable mob frenzy at any appearance of the One.

The White House press corps is now completely supine, utterly shameless in its groveling cowardice. Stalin himself couldn't have wished for a more slobbering press corps. Rather than mailing them nice little Lipton tea bags, millions of sane Americans might consider sending air sickness bags to our Reigning Media.

But not, thank haven, across the broad Atlantic. There free speech and even laughter are still alive, among the well-lubricated scribblers of Fleet Street. The journos of Britain show little respect for American Presidents regardless of race, creed or color. They laugh hysterically at all of them. Not that it takes much imagination.

The Telegraph has done the awesome, and called Michelle's wardrobe "frumpy."

Gerald Warner pitches in by announcing "Barack Obama: all the bad guys are giving President Pantywaist the finger" which says it all, really.

And "Barack Obama and the CIA: why does President Pantywaist hate America so badly?"

And how about "Barack Obama preaches the gospel of abortion at Notre Shame"

Worth repeating in a bigger font.

I couldn't think of a more appropriate description. More than just the WH press corps, though...I would say MOST "journalists" (national and local) are laying prostate before the Obama groupthink.

The press which was once “America’s watchdog” has instead become “Obama’s lapdog”.

Once England alone faced the fury of Nazi bombs and the very real threat of invasion and domination by Hitler. They were brave then and lead the world in the great crusade that ended the threat of fascism. Now they stand along, a beacon of truth in a world gone soft and pummeled by Progressive/ liberals into thinking that their socialist “little utopia” is the path of the future. As before—England stands alone and it will be their finest hour. Gird your loins Britannia for the fight will be long. But, the victory will help to build a new world. Prayers for Susan B. May she recover and sing England’s songs to give hope that this dark day will pass with the ultimate victory.

You won’t get any argument from me on that score: one of my passports says “British Citizen” on it.
