Fire The Press

In order for the press to have gotten this SO wrong they have to be doing it intentionally. There’s no other explanation.
I give up. They need to be FIRED!!!
Likening President Obama to Soviet President Gorbachev? Really? The White House said it like it was a GOOD thing. And the press bought into it like it was some sort of revelation. Come on people!! If I had done MY job as poorly as the press does theirs I would have been FIRED!! And I would have deserved it!!!
Maybe it's our teachers that need to be fired – for failing to teach history. It SHOULD have been right there in the history books! Maybe not the ones they use now that dedicates 2/3 of the book to the Clinton Administration and another 1/6 to the Obama utterances, but in REAL history books it would have been there.
Gorbachev was a failure in the eyes of his country. It was only the Western press that drooled uncontrollably over Gorbachev because they so hated Ronald Reagan – missing drastically what was going on. Gee, where have I heard THAT before - or since?? Gorbachev presided over the failed attempt to save his country and the eventual dismantling of the Soviet Union. His country was coming apart and he got to try to save it – and failed. It would be the equivalent of Texas breaking away and becoming their own country, the Northeast becoming their own country, California, Oregon and Washington breaking away to become a nuclear superpower threatening their neighbors led by the warmonger Schwartzenager, Alaska becomes an oil-rich Sultanate under Queen Palin, Michigan falls into a third world status, Maryland and Pennsylvania sell their left over nuke on the international terror market to buy a reactor, Hawaii becomes a communist banana republic and Florida becomes a Caribbean powerhouse. The rest of the country is what’s left to be called the United States.
Yet, our press failed to report it properly so people could understand what was happening and teachers have perpetuated the lie in history classes all over the country. The press refused to understand the extraordinary leadership and having ‘a set’ to stand up and take on enemies to the point where one of the evil empires – that are so clearly seen in movies by putting them in black and making their leaders parade around in Halloween costumes – was defeated. I guess that if they don’t dress in black and parade around in Halloween costumes they must not be ‘evil.’ Or maybe the reporters today aren't smart enough to recognize them without all the props. Hm… Iran might want to consider a costume change. The failure to report the events accurately and do their jobs borders on CRIMINAL. They were invested in attacking Reagan and missed the real story. Gee, that sounds soooooo familiar…
So, if that’s the case I think we may all need to be afraid, VERY afraid, that Obama is like Gorbachev – and according to the White House he’s running AHEAD of Gorbachev. That’s not a good sign. For us…
