That’s the pattern, obscure any tough issue to answer by making a joke about it and laugh with the media, and then it is forbidden to bring up that issue again, and the media ensures everyone complies. Just one example would be all those jobs that weren’t so “shovel ready”, have there been any more questions about why the Stimulus didn’t work? Nope, the economic failure is ignored with no explanation of why tax credits and Government spending haven’t worked. There are statistics and numbers that would explain what happened, but das ist verboten.
When Obama can’t blame Bush, he will blame Romney for everything under the sun. The Democrats blame without any solutions of their own. They are schizophrenics, who have the press reporting with even more severe mental disorders.
The average Joe is busy watching sports to escape this madness.
