Bet a person getting hired at McDonalds, Wal-mart, or H. & R. Block, gets more scrutiny than Obama has gotten to be the President of the U.S.
Journalism died in 2008. Evidence?
This exchange last Thursday between Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose on PBS (thanks to Rush):
ROSE: I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.
BROKAW: No, I don’t, either.
ROSE: I don’t know how he really sees where China is.
BROKAW: We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
ROSE: I don’t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
BROKAW: Yeah, it’s an interesting question.
ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.
BROKAW: Two of them! I don’t know what books he’s read. ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There’s a lot about him we don’t know. The don’t know much about him? After all this time? There are tapes of him from 1995, 2001, etc. records from when he was an organizer and lawyer for ACORN, and when he worked with Ayers. There is his associations with Wright, Ayers, et. all and NO INVESTIGATION OF IT.
This exchange is perhaps one of the most ludicrous, preposterous conversations I have ever read. Brokaw moderated probably the WORST debate in modern history. What questions were asked in that debate? NOTHING OF VALUE. Their job is to find out who the candidates are for us with objectivity and professionalism. It makes you want to hurl.
