The Media, Obama, and Bush
The Politicizer ^ | July 18, 2009 | Alec Jacobs

This past week, President Obama did the most presidential thing a Democrat president can do: inappropriately fantasized about a young woman’s rear end. If he wasn’t so busy calling Obama’s campaign the “biggest fairy tale” he’d ever seen and fuming over his failure to vicariously earn the 2008 nomination through his wife, Bill Clinton would be proud.

Immediately after the release of the incriminating photograph, news outlets clamored to defend their beloved leader. Media Matters (which dedicates itself to bashing conservatives) pounced on the Drudge Report for daring to post the photograph. MSNBC called the picture a “right wing smear.” Every outlet (yes, including FoxNews) played the video of the event, all in an attempt to prove that Obama was still the Messiah; that he was only holding another girl’s hand to help her down the stairs. He was no Bill Clinton. No John F. Kennedy. No Franklin D. Roosevelt. Unlike every Democrat president before him, he was acting appropriately!

If Obama can ram healthcare, stimulus after stimulus, and cap and trade through Congress all at the same time, he’s probably a good enough at multi-tasking that he can help someone down the stairs while, at the same time, eyeing a 16-year old girl. But whatever the case may be, the media defended Obama in a way they never would have defended George W. Bush.

The credibility of the MSM just sinks deeper and deeper. Their only hope of survival is getting officially nationalized and tons of that bailout money that no one seems to be able to find.

Hmmm...not sure who he is helping down the stairs. Casper?

This exaggerates slightly. Only 5 of the 7 twentieth-century Democratic Presidents are known adulterers. Harry Truman was faithful to Bess, and Jimmy Carter only lusted in his heart after other women.

I’m afraid that the MSM is dreaming if they think that Obama is going to rescue them. Kerry and a few other dems have made some half-hearted stabs at bailing them out but it’s not going to happen.

As their desperation grows I imagine quite a few of them are going to fall out of love with the Messiah. Cracks are already starting to show.
