I have to say tonight I am frustrated beyond belief. I watched what I thought was the best, most hopeful speech I have ever heard a politician give in my 50 years. It was inspiring and honest. It gave hope that all America will pull together, that the people of this country will rebuilt a better gulf coast. That the poor will have a better place to live and raise their families. It was extremely moving and I wept through parts of it, because I too deeply feel for these thousands of Americans who have suffered so much.

I then make the mistake of watching the commentators afterwords. On Fox with Britt Hume, they talked about it being a speech from someone who doesn't know how to give speeches. They played it down and were negative. Scarborough was insulting and demeaning to the president. He has sunk so low and is just like all the other blow-hard know-it-alls on tv exploiting himself at the expense of our country... CNN was just cynical as usual.

I am so disheartened by the media. They have hit an all-time low. In a time when we need to rally the country, to work together as a team they look for avenues to deride and insult the president and his job. Coming from what I believe was the most positive and hopeful speech I have heard to this garbage of media mud slingers. Those who attack this president and any effort to keep the public incited to hatred is un American and inhuman to all who need to begin healing the wounds at this devastating time.

Once we use to herald 'United we Stand', now we just go for the throat... The media is turning this country into a spoiled, selfish society who show no patriotism or loyalty to our leaders. I am sickened and ashamed. Sometimes, I listen to the media and I think why doesn't President Bush just walk away from it all? Why doesn't he just say he has had enough of the mean spirited, hateful, un-American media and quit. Now, wouldn't they all be thrilled with President Cheney. They should count their lucky stars they have a president with as much compassion, work ethic and character as Bush. I don't think we will see the likes of this kind of president again in our lifetimes. This country will get just what its people deserve.

President Bush should do this instead........

Have a Prime Time Press Conference for lets say 9:00PM.
(Keeping it a secret before Press Conference)
Once the Press Conference goes live President Bush would tell the media to please get up out of their chairs and walk to the back of the room along the wall. Then have citizens of the United States walk into the room and sit in the chairs where the media was sitting at. Then have the citizens of the United States ask all the questons.

LOL ROF!!!

Then from that day foward have the media stand in the back of the room at all Press Conference's while the citizens of the United States ask all the questons.
