But this can be done to anyone – even the smooth talking Bill Clinton was quoted with statements that were a painful convoluted read – but of course that was never emphasized by the leftist press. <br /><br />What of Obama’s total dependence on the telepromter? Can you imagine the field day that Comedy Central, Saturday Night Live, etc. would be having if Bush had been so dependent? And when Obama speaks on his own he is constantly uttering "ah….." and "um….." while he tries to figure out what he’s saying. Again, imagine if it were Bush….. Though Letterman made light of an Obama interview with the ‘Uh Count’: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThEAO0lt4Dw<br /><br />How about Obama’s smoking? I’ve seen one photo of Obama with a cigarette in his mouth. I read that shortly after Obama’s inauguration he was practically chain smoking. Again – if this were a Republican? I can only imagine how many photos we’d be seeing of the president with a cigarette, the stories on the bad example, the tie in with tobacco companies, etc. <br /><br />Michelle Malkin did a story on how the press covered W. Bush’s physical fitness routine (it was irresponsible – shouldn’t the president be spending his time running the country) vs. Obama’s (its fantastic, he’s in balance, what a buff body!). <br /><br />It’s a constant free pass for Obama from the mainstream press. <br /><br />EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-66672471549180666722009-05-05T15:17:00.000-04:002009-05-05T15:17:00.000-04:00Well said.
