Hat Tip Clawback1.

Obama and the Trust Factor-Kyle Ann Shiver

For the scant few media folks still scratching their heads in puzzled frustration over the massive displays of public discontent with Barack Obama's presidency, this one's for you. No, the discontent is not about his race, his smoking or whether he wears a helmet while riding his bike. It's not about his wife's biceps or her shorts or her fake eyelashes. It's not even about the President's vainglorious love of the cameras.

No, no, no. It's the trust factor, honey.

When a man campaigns for the presidency as an anti-ideological moderate, a lover of bi-partisan reconciliation, and vows to regain America's foothold on the world's respect, and then after becoming president, shoots down real bi-partisan input with a petulant, "I won," governs high-handedly from the farthest-left corner of American politics, all the while playing cozy-up with America's self-proclaimed enemies and arrogantly dissing our heretofore friends, then the citizens quite naturally feel they've been sucker-punched in the gut. And being sucker-punched in the gut tends to bring out the rudeness in even the most civil people.

On the pinnacle issue of the president's domestic agenda, healthcare reform, candidate Obamapromised a completely open C-SPAN debate but instead has given Americans backroom deals and the same speech, recycled and spit out more than a hundred different ways. And the more Obama fights back against the so-called "smears," the more professional analysts jump into the verbal fray, calling him out on his own misinformation, falsehoods and crumbling credibility.

If universal healthcare proves to be the president's Waterloo, as suggested by Sen Jim DeMint (R-SC), the mushrooming ACORN scandal may yet be his Watergate. ACORN is the group that gave Barack Obama his teeth-cutting, political activist creds with their Project Vote drive in 1992. That was just the start of a blossoming, quite-close relationship between the President and ACORN.

As John Fund enumerated in the Wall Street Journal this week, Barack Obama also was a trainer for ACORN's Chicago conferences and became their lawyer in 1995, working to coerce Illinois to fully implement the federal Motor Voter Law, which was then "exploited by ACORN employees in an effort to flood voter rolls with fake names."

Barack Obama, in December 2007, announced to great community-organizer fanfare that the ACORN folks would be right beside him to "shape his agenda" for transforming America. President Obama seems to have lots of ‘splainin' to do on his ties to ACORN. What he knew, when he knew it, stuff like that.

In the realm of foreign policy, it appears that the only folks on the planet who can really trust our president are dictators, despot-wannabes and the ex-KGB honcho in Russia. It's downright worrisome when one recalls how Obama parried a 2008 question by CBS News as to whether he ever had any doubts about his foreign-policy experience. Rather than give a credible answer, the utterly-inexperienced Obama replied with the unequivocal, gallingly audacious, godlike, "NEVER."

Ousted Honduran dictator-wannabe, Zelaya, has received strident, meddling support from President Obama while the Iranian protesters risking life and limb for more freedom have gotten the cold shoulder. Poland and the Czech Republic got a big finger poke in the eye on missile defense, while Obama reaped the praises of the Russian Bear. Castro joined the cheers-to-Barack chorus Wednesday when Obama made his kumbayah-to-the-world speech at the UN. Iran is continuing her nuke plan and getting gasoline from Chavez, while Israel is having her face shoved in the mud. Obama's foreign policy is the most transparent thing about his administration.

President Obama never doubts himself or, apparently, our enemies. He saves all his doubts for the American people and our former friends around the globe. What's not to like? All the while, we dissenters are the ones who are in the President's eyes, "rude."

Oh, ye President of Thin-beyond-Thin Skin, a single, constrained shout-out of "You lie" and a few snarky posters don't even come close to the traditional incivility of the peculiar American bent.

Tar and feathers. Now, that's rude.

Burning in effigy. Now, that's real disdain .

Women in pink lingerie, with red-paint soaked hands shouting "war criminal" in your face. Now, that's uncivil.

So, again for establishment-media ninnies, when a man masquerades as an America-loving moderate to get elected and then behaves in opposite fashion, striking one loathsome thrust after another at America's gut, the resulting massive dissent isn't about the color of his skin, his little irksome habit of self-glorification or his proclivity for condescending academy-speak.

It's the trust factor, honey. Or, it's his faulty moral compass, dear. Or, it's his dishonesty, stupid. Or, it's his utter lack of integrity, idiot. Or, it's his weak character, imbecile. Or, it's his love for America-hating despots, moron.

Feel free to pick the one that makes a nice, warm, cuddly fit with your own civility preference. A disingenuous political scoundrel by any other name is the same. And civility - or lack of it -- doesn't change a thing.

I have to say this is the finest article I have read all week. I normally try not to quote whole articles, but this one is so well put-together. There is no part I could choose to leave out. What a great summary of the week's events, put in perfect context. Thank you, Kyle-Anne Shiver. Reading your words doesn't solve our country's problems, but knowing there are people out there like you who understand and care makes it easier for me to endure in the meantime.

MSM is Dead. Long Live the LWM

OK. Not really "Long Live the Left Wing Media". That's not my fondest wish. If I had my druthers, I would replace all of these unethical drooling propagandists with real, old-fashioned journalists. You may remember. Journalism used to be about reporting facts. And opinions were confined to editorial pages. Or at least that was the idea. Somehow this was lost over the years. There is even an organization called The Society of Professional Journalists that spell out ETHICS for journalists. I remember stopping subscriptions to my local papers in the past, in particular the Los Angeles Times, over how they set up headlines on the front page. The headlines were obviously worded to steer opinion to the left's view. Not fair, not OK and not good journalism.

Nickie Goomba links to Ace of Spades today, both talking about how the Left Wing Media is no longer mainstream. The main news outlets are peopled with a bunch of fading has-beens, living on past glory. You may recall a past post of mine where I showed how 20% of people claim to get news from television and 20% of people claim to get news from the internet. That is a lot of people. And the internet has experienced HUGE growth, considering that there was no internet to speak of prior to the 1990s.

Are bloggers a growing force in today's media? Bloggers certainly had an effect on the 2004 election when they pointed out flaws in Dan Rather's story, leading to Rather's subsequent resignation. Twitter became useful recently during the aftermath of the election in Iran. People used text messaging to send news and updates to news organizations via their cell phones. Twitter and other social networking sites may now be replacing the function of the ham radio and water cooler chit chat. Gateway Pundit just got Green Jobs Czar Van Jones fired by doing internet research into his past. Breitbart just brought down the ACORN organization by running a sting operation.

My level of disgust with the left wing media has reached a breaking point.

I felt betrayed by the left wing media when they neglected to vet Obama's past.

I felt betrayed by the left wing media when they ignored and ridiculed the April 15, 2009 Tea Party Protests. What protests, Obama stated on the morning of April 15th.

I felt betrayed by the left wing media when they walked into the White House and set up shop for a 60-minute infomercial.

I felt betrayed by the left wing media when they refused to report on many August Town Hall events. I went to one. There were no media trucks out front. Obamacare proposes a government takeover of 20% of the nation's economy. This is not newsworthy? On what planet!

I felt betrayed by the left wing media when they ignored and lied about the 9/12 2009 March on DC. They represented the attendance numbers to be as small as they thought they could get away with, in order to minimize the importance of the event. Miss T. C. Shore reviews the numbers.
