Obama Plays Dirty

I just read an article about President Obama's recent visit to the White House press core offices. The article, found here on the Fox News website, was written by the AP. It's pretty obvious that Obama intends to continue what he started on the campaign trail - make the Press love him.

The article talks about how he headed down to the press offices to say hello to everyone and be casual, and that he wasn't there to field any serious questions. But he apparently made a few disapproving comments in reference to who had the bigger desks and why, saying "This is worse than the Middle East here -- who's sitting where and all that stuff." For a politician who has publicly spoken out about his personal disapproval for certain media outlets and their members, and urges forth legistation that attempts to publicly silence those individuals, it makes one wonder who he wants a smaller desk for in the press core office of the White House.

What bothers me most, though, is how President Obama continues to manipulate the media into liking him more. Granted, every President attempts to improve their public image through the eyes of the media, but Obama is already going further out of his way to do so than any before him. He's really some kind of expert. In the press core, sneaky comments like "I've got to say, it's smaller than I thought," hints that he pities the press and that he intends to make their situation better. Way to be their buddy, Mr. President. How moral is that?

Does it surprise anyone that a man whose recent peers, to include people like Gov. Blagoyovich, likes to play dirty politics everywhere he can? What kind of Drama Queen did all those idiots vote for? I'll start saying to the libs now what I'll be ear-to-ear about in 4 years (keep in mind I train dogs): What did you do! (And then I rub their nose in the huge heap they've landed us all in.)

On another note, I went gun shopping today and I'm going gun buying tomorrow.

If you're still reading and you find yourself nodding, you're a great American.

Cheney, We're Going To Miss You

Vice President Dick Cheney is on his way out of office along with President George W. Bush. We're going to miss them both. I haven't paid much attention to Dick Cheney, though there are a few things that are drawing my attention to him. Namely, he seems to be a man who is blatantly honest and calls it like it is. From telling Senator Lehey to go fuck himself, to voicing his disagreements with President Bush as well as their own Republican party, he's not afraid to speak his mind. This is a man that we can hope remains in politics, as men like him are few and far between.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney, thank you for serving our country in these most desparate of times. We're going to miss you.
