A running theme on this blog has been the media’s liberal bias and constant grovelling to Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et. al. Today is no different.
It seems that criticizing Obama amounts to racism or some other -ism, but Steele is fair game because he’s a Republican. Steele’s race and everything else is trumped by his ideology.
Dana Milbank of the Washington Post today criticizes Steele’s adherence to his consultant’s suggestions. He claimed Steel used Castellanos’ memo word-for-word for his speech, which was full of:
poll-tested language
Now, for one, Obama has to use a teleprompter for his speeches. The man can’t even memorize a simple talk. He can’t use his own words for even a minute.
He has to have a script and a teleprompter before he can deliver a speech. Remember the incident in January when his teleprompter committed suicide? While Wolf Blitzer was gushing over Obama’s intelligence in having a back-up plan, what it shows is that Obama doesn’t possess the personal initiative to give his own speeches.
Who writes his speeches? A team of speechwriters? Have we seen any revelations whether Obama actually provides any personal input? How do we know that Obama doesn’t do the same thing that Steele is accussed of in this case?
But, let’s not speculate, eh? Obama is above humanity – he can’t be wrong.
Milbank further spouts:
Led by Steele, the Republicans are making no secret of their aims: kill health reform this year, leaving the millions of uninsured to wait for another day and another proposal. And one way to do that is to make it appear that the Democrats are heedlessly hurrying. “The president is rushing this experiment through Congress so fast, so soon,” Steele reasoned, revisiting his “too much, too fast, too soon” formulation four times in his speech.
On its face, the accusation that the Democrats are moving too quickly seems difficult to maintain. For 16 years they’ve been laboring to expand health insurance, and proposals have been grinding their way through five congressional committees. Then there’s the small detail that Obama and the Democrats made health-care reform a central component of last year’s election, which they won resoundingly. “Yes, we lost the last election, so that means we shut up?” Steele said with a laugh when the question was put to him Monday.
Obama has a lot more important and urgent items on his agenda, most important of all is to fix our stagnant economy.
Voters brought Obama to power to repair the damage done to the economy by, what it seemed, Bush’s failed policies.
Obama, instead, is trying to get everything done even before voters have another chance to vote on this agenda in 2010 – Iraq war, Afghanistan, government-run health care, tax hikes, liberal judges, banning guns, and so on.
If that is not rushed, what is? He’s been in office barely 6 months and he’s already spent a few trillion of our tax dollars. He’s beholden us even more to China, Japan, the Middle East and all the so-called unfriendly foreign regimes.
Talking about the 16 years, voters kicked out the Democrats in 1994 partly because of Hillary-Care. This time the Donkeys don’t want to take a chance.
That’s the way I look at it. There’s no other explanation for this flurry of legislation while the main problem, our economy, still remains at large and even deteriorating.
Obama is nothing less than a puppet run by the liberal establishment.
