Hey, Don.

If you're doing this:
Weigh How Much You Should Criticize The President Because He's Black

You're NOT this:
Journalist

Journalists, don't risk being accused of bias.. Introducting the Bush Scales. Be a impartial professional journalist. Weigh how much you should criticize the President.

Of course he is a liar.

If Herman Cain was President they would relentlessly atttack him.

Whites are “racist” for ignoring Obama’s skin color. Journalists are just doing their job when they go easy on him because of diversity. Our world is off track.

It’s true. Remember how they weighed very carefully their words when the criticized either Bush or Ronald Reagan?

Me neither.

I, too, weighed how much criticism Obama should get based on his race. I concluded he gets too little criticism because of his race so I decided to double-down on criticizing him.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. So much for judging someone "by the content of their character, and not their skin color."

Race-baiting liberals undoubtedly hate that line...

They won't criticize the regime because they are afraid it will implode. They put out poll numbers showing low 40% but I bet it's closer to 25-30%. It's all about appearance right now. They could never do what they are trying to do without projecting strength. The media is their last line of defense. They know they are one story away from total collapse. I just hope that story finds its way into the headlines real soon.

It’s not the media’s job to criticize the president. The media should report the FACTS. That would be more than enough.
