Whistling Dixie

Doesn’t anyone else notice how Obama whistles when he talks! It drives me crazy yet no one else mentions it!

The Fourth Estate takes the Fifth

The media has a critical role in the protection of our liberties from an obtrusive central government. In trying to protect Obama from any criticism, the press has abdicated its responsibility as watch dog for the people. It will be harder and harder to rein in future presidents the more the media allow Obama to abuse the power of his office.
 
I argue that Snowden would have leaked the information he obtained to the US press in anonymity if he thought they would use the information to hold this administration accountable. Instead he felt he needed to go to Russia and China. Why do you think he took the course of action he did?
The media was all too willing to release classified information they obtained from informants, protect their sources, and collect their Pulitzers when George Bush was in office. But this president isn’t a Republican. I fear it will be worse if Hillary is elected. The media is already paving the way for her election with articles that white-wash the Benghazi scandal.
There is a long list of people responsible for this devastating period in our country’s history: from Socialist Democrats to weak-kneed Republicans. Included in the list has to be the media. But don’t expect to hear this addressed by reporters, they’re taking the fifth.
P.S. Make no mistake: I am not making excuses for Snowden. He is a traitor and should be treated as such.
