Hey folks,
Happy Friday to you. Since it IS Friday, time to go to the Emails."Gibson shall now always be remembered as a propagandist kiss ass. Not to mention, did he just call Obama 'Holy God?' I'm getting really tired of the state run media licking Obama's shoes all the time."
Well, so am I. So are MOST Americans. I did not catch this Interview. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I have also posted the Video of it so you all out there can check it out for yourselves.
First? Did he kiss Obama's ass? Yup. No doubt about that. As the link points out. Just look at the questions:– Mr. President, a year ago today, you were in Chicago. You knew you were going to be President, but you weren't. What didn't you anticipate? What did you underestimate? What didn't you know? – You surprised me a little, because I think -- and I've heard other Presidents say -- the thing that you can't anticipate is the weight of the job when it comes to you, particularly when it comes to committing young men and women to war.
– It's an enormous responsibility. And before Gulf War I, I went to Kuwait, and I talked to the commanders -- Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force -- and I asked them, what does it feel like to commit kids to war? And they all said, “We don't. The President does. It's his job. We just carry out his order.” And I thought, “Holy God, what a weight that is on your shoulders.”
– As you went through that assessment in recent weeks, is there a calculus in your mind? Do you have to go through it? What is this worth in terms of human life? Is this goal worth 500 lives, a thousand, 1,500 lives? Does that go through your head?
– How did you change from the beginning of that analysis and process that you went through to the end, inside you?
– Let me turn to health care. When we talked in the White House and throughout the early stages of health care reform discussion, you talked about the absolute need to bend the cost curve of health care, that we had to bring costs into line or we'd break the country. If there's no government insurance program, if we're not even going to expand Medicare to keep insurance companies competitive, how does the cost curve bend?
– And then there's the problem of getting the darn thing passed, which is proving to be devilishly difficult. You thought you had a compromise last week that was going to expand Medicare to younger people, and Senator Lieberman says, “Well, I'm not sure I want that,” and then all of a sudden, we hear it's out of the -- out of the bill. Do you feel as if individual Senators are holding you hostage?
– Which leaves you needing all 58 Democrats and two independents...Every one of them...Every single one....Anyone can say to you, “If I back off, you have to do what I need you to do.”...But do you feel like they're holding you hostage on this?
– But when you need every vote like this, and when Senators can do this to you -- and those are my words, not yours -- a lot of people worry that what you're going to wind up with is hash. There's even some Democrats saying now we've got a bill that's so compromised that it's not worth signing.
All this was, was Propagandist BS. Softball questions to attempt to further an Agenda. But we ARE talking about the All Barack Channel. ABC. Did he call Obama a "Holy God?" Here is the Video.
He said, "before Gulf War I, I went to Kuwait, and I talked to the commanders -- Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force -- and I asked them, what does it feel like to commit kids to war? And they all said, “We don't. The President does. It's his job. We just carry out his order.” And I thought, 'Holy God, what a weight that is on your shoulders.'"
Gulf War 1 was President George H. W. Bush sending the Troops. Nothing to do with Obama at all. If he was calling a President a "Holy God" in this terminology, and time frame it would have to have been GWH Bush. We know THAT would never happen.
Do not get me wrong. Some in the Media DO see Obama as a god. They DO see him as a messiah. They have even come right out and SAID it. But in this case? No. I do not think so. I think Charlie Gibson could have picked a different, less offensive phrase, but I think that was all it was. Like "Oh my god" or "Holy S---" You are not blessing Dung, not actually calling out to the Almighty, you are just reacting to something verbally to show your surprise or astonishment of what you just saw.

Have a great Weekend. Last Shopping one before Christmas. See you Sunday.
