Please Leave the Obamas Alone
Posted by Andrew | Filed under Mainstream Media
You know, we have a lot of issues going on today. Our world’s economy is in a melt down, our environment is a wreck, we have massive healthcare and education issues in our country. Why is it that all anyone cares about is Barack and Michelle Obama? I know they are the President and First Lady, but they are constantly in the news and I’m sick of it. As a country, we don’t care about the economic recovery, we don’t care about the AIG bonuses, we don’t care that GM and Chrysler are going out of business.
No, according to the media, we are much more interested in the latest Obama faux pas which was bowing to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. My question is, why wouldn’t you bow to a King? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? In many cultures, it is customary to bow to one another as a sign of respect for the other individual, especially when you are meeting to conduct any sort of business. Last time I checked, most Americans weren’t aware of any culture other than their own, so, who are we to say that it was the wrong move? (via dvorak.org/blog)
And why are we so obsessed with Michele Obama now? Oh well, it seems that Lindsay Lohan has cleaned up her act, and Miley Cyrus isn’t up to anything yet, and let’s face it, we beat Britney Spears straight. Who are we going to torment with our constant media blitz? Clearly Michelle Obama deserves all the criticism in the world, she actually hugged the Queen of England! But man, does she have style and her arms are spectacular.
Why do all of these so called “News Organizations” do this? This constant peddling of worthless information is what has caused people in this country and many others around the world to become, for lack of a better term, dumb. I don’t care about the Obama’s search for a new dog, I’m more concerned about his search for a Secretary of Commerce. As long as the dog isn’t influencing policy, it doesn’t really matter. What I am asking people out there in the world to do is take note of stories like this about our President and First Lady, and ask yourself, does this matter and is this important? If the answer is no, then you should find somewhere else to get your news.
