At what point will the media actually decide…

…that this administration is exactly what they accused the Bush Administration of being?

The groups were protesting don’t ask don’t tell (I’ve given my opinion on it here) but if they haven’t figured out that President Obama used them for suckers then they haven’t figured out anything.

The idea that an administration would close a public park to the public and the press to keep video off the air of a protest is disgraceful and disgusting. As a citizen I am shocked.

More importantly I’m not seeing this reported on Morning Joe today. If the media is not willing to report on this and call it the travesty it is then you’d better send me that $800 a week plus travel because you will need someone who will.

Forgetting the fact that the democratic majority could have repealed Don’t ask don’t tell from 2006 on. How do people justify supporting someone who does this? Do they have so much invested in him that they don’t care call him on it? Or is it like a cult when you have to actually have a personal shock so great that you can be pulled from it?

Via Sissy Willis who was a great addition to my follower list on twitter.

Exit question: If this president is willing to do this publicly what is he doing privately to suppress dissent?

Update: Just a reminder: “Let Him Speak”

Quite a contrast.

Update: Another Instalanche, Glenn is spoiling me, thanks for stopping by. The anchoress was kind enough to point me to a couple of other videos showing how President Bush handled heckling. And one of Bill Clinton too, yet she didn’t link to herself. She deserves a visit just for that. As a matter of fact instead of promoting my blog on this one Let me point you to a few places that you should try. The Lonely conservative, Little Miss Attila, The Camp of the Saints (Particularly if you like cheesecake), The Reaganite Republican, Cynthia Yockey, No Sheeples here (particularly if you like photoshops), Adrienne’s Corner, The American Glob, Barbara Espiinosa, Peg who did a noble deed for my sake, and of course my friend Robert Stacy McCain.

I seem to recall that a little over a decade ago…

…the press didn’t have a lot of objections to “blow Jobs“:

The White House is working hard to secure deals that yield fluffy, feel good commentary about the Obama White House. One American White House reporter used colorful terms to describe the arrangement. The reporter said, “They want ‘blow jobs’ first [in the press sense]. Then you have to be on good behavior for a bit or be willing to deal, and then you get access.”

When you sell yourself for a living It just becomes a matter of haggling.

You just knew Robert Stacy was going to have fun with this didn’t you and Ann Althouse and the Mudville Gazette comment, but it is Ed Driscoll who asks the important question:

Considering the near-monolithically favorable coverage that Obama received on the campaign trail from the inside the Beltway crowd, to equally gushing coverage after The One won the gig, how gushing does the hagiography have to get before it qualifies for B.J.-level “journalism” in the White House’s jaundiced eyes?

MSM you have no business complaining, you did this to yourselves.

Eugene Robinson just let the cat out of the bag without realizing it.

…on Morning Joe at 8:06 a.m.

“Our long national nightmare as commentator’s is nearly over”

The argument is being made that this has to be passed to save the Obama administration. It can’t be allowed to fail etc etc etc… Robert Stacy McCain gave a hint to what I’m thinking in the Spectator:

“They’re obviously not doing this for policy reasons,” one GOP operative who worked on the Brown campaign said last night. “This is political, but nobody can figure out the politics of it.”

Administration arm-twisters are reportedly telling House Democrats that the bill, once passed, will magically overcome the unpopularity that has hitherto plagued it, and that by November voters will forget the extraordinary machinations by which Pelosi accelerated her legislative Deathmobile up to “ramming speed.”

Allow me to explain the politics of it:

It has become totally impossible for even the Mainstream Media to portray this administration as anything resembling a success. The president has failed on GITMO, failed on Don’t ask don’t tell, failed on Cap and Trade it has played the political game like a bunch of; dare I say it, Bush league players. The smartest guy in the room can’t nail two boards together to build legislation. He is so desperate that he consented to a FOX interview which was an unmitigated disaster.

The White House is channeling Count Rostov from Tolstoy’s War and Peace: “Why they’re shooting at me, Me, whom everyone loves!“.

This is the thing that the White House finds intolerable. Nothing else matters. We have a narcissist in the White House who has for his entire career been told how special he is. He is the poster child of our esteem culture.

If this bill passes the story on every MSM outlet will be about the Obama victory, about how the White House succeeded, about how the president still has it. About the president’s place in history. It will be as if it was January of 2009 all over again. The media desperately wants to write this story, the media who went all in on “Fluffy Hussein” as my brother calls him wants to believe that all that glittered was in fact Gold. The last few months have challenged their assumption not only of the administration but of themselves. It HAS to be expunged by victory.

This vote isn’t about healthcare, it isn’t about polls, it isn’t about the midterms, it is about an insecure man who wants the media to say nice things about him again and an insecure media that wants to be able to say them with a straight face.

For reasons that need little explanation these items were not positioned in such a way at the hotel to be seen by passers by during CPAC.

I suspect these they didn’t move well.
