The Obama Trip

This nation has gone and abandoned all reason. It’s true, I saw the final blow to our case for sanity delivered last night by the major American news networks. Even networks that aren’t mired in some kind of deal with the Devil, as is Fox News, attempted to pervert reality last night to such a degree that I was forced to hunker down in a lead-lined closet with an old WWII army surplus bazooka. The freaks and the geeks were wandering free on the air waves with their tales of insanity, and I wanted no part in it!

Since when is it unacceptable for a sitting Senator to visit a foreign nation? When did it become a bad thing for a Senator to do—showing an actual interest in the issues that he was elected to legislate for? What kind of moron could conceive of the notion that Senator Obama would deserve some kind of reprimand for visiting Afghanistan and Iraq when our armed services have been mired in each for nearly a decade now? The very idea is ludicrous.

Rather than going on a rant, I’m just going to put up a few videos that I believe will tell their own story. Note: with the exception of the 2nd video, these are not the videos that angered me but a fair response to them. The first is from NBC’s Nightly News with Brian Williams and is a British press conference held by Obama after meeting with PM Gordon Brown. I feel that Obama does an excellent job of explaining and defending his trip, though I also feel that it is ridiculous that he would even have to do so.

This second video is an attack ad that recently came out of the McCain campaign. Approved by McCain, the ad actually attempts to link the high gas prices that Americans have been suffering of late to the Senator from Illinois. I’ve been reading blogs all morning about this and all indications are that this ad has very swiftly accomplished one thing: the conversion of many would-be McCain voters to rock solid Obama voters. The very idea promulgated by the following video is laughable!

Finally, this last video comes from MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, though Mr. “O” isn’t in this video. This clip is in response to the above McCain ad. Once again MSNBC has given an accurate and timely analysis of the insanity begin promulgated by the Republican party and their media henchmen at Fox News.
