Poor Obama thinks the media is too tough
By Brian Kirwin | Friday, August 14th, 2009 | PolicyYears and years of loud, angry protests while George W. Bush defended America against worldwide terrorism were no problem for Barack. Never quite bothered him.
A couple weeks of people sounding off on his government takeover of health care, and the media is being mean to him.
“President Barack Obama on Friday denounced news media emphasis on angry protesters at town-hall meeting. (the mean media)”
Awwwww. Isy da mean, bad ole newsie woosie shows giving you a toughie woughie time, Mr. Leader of the Free World?
There, there.

As usual, rhetoric plays while the populace pays. The real power in America is playing off the right and left against each other, but that’s ok as long as your rhetoric wins. The health insurance debate is merely a skirmish line between increasingly divisive factions of our countrymen.
Now things are getting to the point where the smallest spark could set off a powder keg of conflict among our citizens. This has grown beyond politics and rhetoric to a schism of fundamental American beliefs.
Hard working people are fed up with paying for the welfare state and are retiring early, walking away from their houses, jobs and careers or just saying the hell with it. Some are joining the ranks of the destitute and many are leaving the country. The future is clear. What is the sense of working your rear off all your life if the payoff only benefits the politically connected? We’ve gone from lifetime pensions to worthless IRA’s, jobs with a future to pointless sucking up to the boss, and from the pioneer spirit of self reliance to an ever increasing population of leeches whose only goal is gaming the system at our expense.
Today’s Americans are quickly becoming less secure than those who took part in the 1800′s Great Western Migration. Only instead of Indians, we have politicians and big business attacking us at every turn. The 21st century has brought back the Robber Barons of old. They not only own the land, industry and politicians, but now the entire earnings potential of every American for the next ten generations.
When entire lifetimes are being summed up in a few bits of binary code, what possible incentive is there to carry on with a charade? Better to spend your last days sucking down San Miguel beer while watching the sun set over the South China Sea, and helping out someone there who just might see you as something more than a mere classification on a form.
