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.
