Diogenes' Middle Finger: The Weirdest Media Spin Yet for Obama The Weirdest Media Spin Yet for ObamaDon SurberThe day after a largely black audience walked out on him in Maryland, President Obama went on Al Sharptons MSNBC show in an effort to get black people to like him again.Yes folks, Obama has fallen that low.Sharpton asked him why he is supporting all these white folks who are running from him.From the president: The bottom line is, though, these are all folks who vote with me; they have supported my agenda in Congress. So this isnt about my feelings being hurt. These are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me. I tell them -- I said, you do what you need to do to win. I will be responsible for making sure that our voters turn out.Obamas handmaidens in the press immediately cringed, with the Washington Post headlining its report: Obama giftwraps another sound bite for Republicans.Aaron Blake wrote:"While Obamas previous comment suggested the election was indeed something of a referendum on him, these comments suggest not only that, but that Democratic candidates are actually on-board with him -- something most of them have made pains to argue is not the case.Obamas comments are the kind of thing Democrats might privately say to assure donors and the party base, but wouldnt really say in public.At the same time, hes really only saying something that most political observers already believe to be true -- that however much distance these Democrats are seeking from the president, they will generally be on-board with his agenda. Almost all Democrats in Congress, after all, vote with their party the vast majority of the time."You see, the problem is not his incompetence or the dishonesty of Democrats who say one thing but will do another -- such hypocrisy is accepted by the Washington Post when a Democrat shows two faces. No the problem is Republicans will sound bite the president.Oh noes! Readers must admit this is the weirdest spin yet in 10 years of spinning for this empty suit, beginning with his over-rated speech at the 2004 DNC convention.Don Surber Blogspot.com
