When Obama gave his speech to announce his run for the presidency in 2008, I asked “who is this guy and who is backing him. One doesn’t just wake up one day and decide to run.”
Months later, the weekend before the 2008 election, Tom Brokaw was on the Charlie Rose program. They were pining ‘we don’t know much about this guy,’ ‘we don’t know what he reads,’ ‘we don’t know what he believes,’ etc.
Ironically, Rose and Brokaw represented the same media that always claimed ‘vetting candidates’ was their responsiblity. They definitely failed — intentionally — in 2008. They tried to create a myth around Obama, and the central character grossly failed at living up to their expectations.
For his first inaugural, I quipped: ‘would he walk across the Potomac into Washington or would he just descend out of the clouds?’
I’d take pleasure in having Brokaw just shut up his “F in mouth” this daily dose of him in “An American Story” makes me puke with the same result when I hear Bozo speak.
