She has gotten so much press coverage and so much financial benefit from this "scandal" that it isn't even funny. If anyone thinks she is a victim here, especially considering she wasn't even winning the competition by the time the question was asked, you are fooling yourself. Can you even tell me who actually won the competition? She has benefited from this to an exponential degree.

 

That’s not the point, and I don’t really care about her, or the particular issue.

I care that Obama and someone else have the exact same stance on something, and no one seems to care that Obama has this stance, yet they want to run the other person out of town for it.

It’s the issue I have more than anything with this last election. You want to elect a liberal to run the country, fine. Elect Hillary. She, in every category conceivable had more experience, knowledge, and judgment then Obama… yet no one seemed to care. “It’s Obama, and we love him regardless” seemed to be the message of the election.

 

Oh, and for those that have never seen it, here is the Obama video.

 

Dude, I know you disagree about Obama's policies on the financial market, and possibly other areas, but please...drop it before you like a typical player hater.

 

No one talking about Obama's stance on gay marriage. Ooooohhhh...whoop-de-fucking-doo. I have heard all the reasons...the media goes ga-ga over Obama, Obama is a dictator-in-training, Obama this, Obama that....it really is quite pathetic. Just take all the fanboy rant from either Sony, Microsoft and/or Nintendo's camp and it doesn't even equal to the bullshit put on this.

 

Until Obama's policies actually harm and/or kill people for questionable reasons, any whining right now is just that...whining.

 

And to give you a simple reason as to why she is being blamed and not Obama? Miss California is an easier target to take down, plain and simple.

Well his Iraq Policy has seen the deaths in iraq baloon... also his bombing policys in afghanistan have led to numerous civilian deaths and injuries to the point of where it's gotten so bad in recent months they had to suspend them and sack the general in charge in a lameduck move.

It's not that the media is protecting him though.  It's that we've got issues now so they don't care to focus on that.

Well that and the same people were the people voting for Obama.  The strong Obama vote is often cited for the reason Prop 8 passed in California.

 

For the first bolded part, both were surprisingly done during the Bush administration, as you kinda forgot to add...the bombing was cited by Pakistani news organizations while Obama and McCain were campaigning for Presidency late last year, but the media again seems to miss that in favor of covering the potential Presidents (I found out through my Pakistani news channel through the Dish). You may say that blaming the past does not help, and I agree with that. What I am saying is that two extreme choices (One choice for bombing and killing people, the other being a complete disengagement from the area) does not fix anything or make a complete wash. It is like chemistry; you don't put two completely opposite and volatile chemicals to create a neutral substance...things will blow up in your face. If you add a less volatile yet still opposite chemical to a completely volatile substance (removing troops slowly from the war and not completely removing them at once), things take more time but are less violent.

 

So yes, I agree that the media in general do not seem to realize that they have a job to do. Instead of covering real news, they seem to be acting like the Papparazi instead...

 

And as for the second bolded part, people who vote for Obama does not equal to a pure, clean heart.  There are strong, religious African American block as well as a strong, religious white block. They may vote differently, but they both agree on Prop 8, hence why it was passed in California of all places.
