When I bother watching the ‘national’ news anymore I find myself watching BBC America. Yes, they have a leftist slant to their stories but they also cover international news the other networks don’t.
It seems to me as if the regular network evening news are mainly covering fluff stories.
I really do hope you’re wrong about us being under a dictatorship. I can’t bear that the America I grew up in back in the 50’s and part of the 60’s is not so slowly disappearing.
I don’t know whether it’s just me or not but I’ve been brooding all day about the “let them eat cake” attitude that seems to be infecting our White House.
What truly got my dander up was seeing the Obama’s with their children enjoying what appeared to be a very glitzy affair celebrating something or another about either a Spanish or Mexican event. Sorry, I was just so angry at the pictures of them acting as if they were royalty that I actually couldn’t hear the announcer explaining what the party was about.
Here we are, people losing their jobs or living stressed out because they don’t know what’s going to happen next, homes being foreclosed on (not the one’s where the people should never have qualified for a home loan) because they’ve exhausted their savings, grocery store prices are still outrageous even though there was a supposed drop in grocery prices. If a republican president had thrown the kind of lavish affair the news showed he’d have been crucified by the MSM and the majority of the public.
Anyone with any sense would scale back and have a much more low key affair to reflect that we as a nation are tightening our belts but can still celebrate whatever it was they were celebrating. The celebration could have still been held but at least we wouldn’t have been treated to pictures of ‘royalty’ as in King Obama with his consort, the Queen and the two lovely princesses living lavishly on our damned dime.
I know I’m probably not making sense but I guess I’m what they call in Texas, spitting mad and that’s so mad you can’t find the words to express how damned angry you are so you’re left to spitting it all out.
The man isn’t a President, he’s royalty and he appears to delight in rubbing our collective noses into the dirt because we’re simply lowly serfs and not worthy. Who’s minding the store while our “royalty’ are out-royalling the few remaining royals in England and Europe?
I’m sorry for going off in my post to you. It’s been building for awhile and this Nobel Peace Prize stuff awarded to a man, who has to my knowledge, never finished anything he started, who thinks nothing of jetting off to Copenhagen. Then the over the top affair when something more low key would have been much more in line with the times.
I’m struggling with trying not to hate the man simply because he wouldn’t care and the hate would be eating me alive.
I hear you Sally. I am so mad these days I can’t see straight. I have come to detest this person on so many levels. I have and I guess maybe it’s crazy to say, I think that he is the Anti-Christ. I am starting to believe this more and more. He makes me want to puke!
