Can we agree that the Obama administration is amazingly adept at the distraction? The lastest look-here-while-I-do this-over-there moment surrounds the Prof. Gibbs episode. This "beer summit" is taking the front page while killing our economy through Cap and Tax or through Universal Health Care is covered somewhere well after the banter about beer. This tactic dates back to Bill and Monica. That's when Prez-Bill decided to bomb an aspirin factory somewhere near a target, that was meant to say "we mean business" against terrorism. Yup. We see how serious that was.
The Chicago machine must have a war room complete with which state run media outlet can distribute the propaganda fast enough. Even Fox News has gotten in on this. Which beer will they drink? What if they choose an import? How about Sam Adams? Blah, blah blah. There are just a few days before July ends and a new round of unemployment numbers come out. The stock market could hit 10000 again. But wasn't the liberal mantra during the Bush years that the economy only benefitted Wall Street and not Main Street? And housing starts. That's great news. Only problem is that many of us can't afford a house. So, are the rich getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer? I think there's more evidence of this happening now than at any time. Yet the propaganda machine spins like a shiny new Maytag.
It also seems that people are waking up. They don't want 1/6 of the American economy taken over by the same people who run the Post Office. And don't forget the crazy "climate change" bill that will add hundreds to everyone's electric bills while killing the coal industry. It's bait and switch at it's finest. And the Obama adminstration continues to feed into the celebrity aspect of it's appeal, rather than actually making good decisions for our country.
