BLOG November 28, 2008. I don’t like being petty, but I realize that some television programs have a great effect on their audience. I couldn’t help but notice the innuendo on “The View”, Hasselback is not crazy about Obama being a product. Franklin Mint even has a special 24kt gold coin with JFK on one side and Obama on the other side, I haven’t seen one yet, valued at $9.99/ plus shipping and handling costs. She sees the campaign signing on the podiums as over the top and making it appear as though Obama is a “new brand”. She is complaining that the signs on the podium, US flag perched to the left, opened window with the Capitol building behind his head all indicating that Obama is saying “I’m not the president yet” but I am the “President-Elect”. And this bothers her. Doesn’t seem to bother her that Bush is the President and the country is going down in economic flames. I believe consciously she is still not happy with McCain/Palin’s loss. She admits she is a staunch Republican and even campaigned with Palin when Palin was being attacked by the media regarding her $150,000 wardrobe from Neiman Marcus and Saks; $300 outfit from CBS. Many political pundits, including Republican pundits believe Palin wasn’t ready to be Vice President, due to the answers she was giving; Palin’s inability to accept media invitations without being “schooled” and no history of solving problems or causing legislation to the level of a Vice President. Bottomline, Palin was an unknown to most of America, I still ask why did McCain choose her. Did you see the video of Palin’s news conference when she was “pardoning the turkey”? I thought it was more amateurish that the reporter didn’t allow her to elect the proper background to not distract with the turkey killing in the background. Where was this reporters’ editor or producer of the news program? How was it that the camera operator didn’t realize what was in the background, didn’t they review the footage? I thought strange and of course national reporters made sport of the debacle. This I don’t blame Palin for, but there were several times when she did look over her shoulder and should have seen what was happening behind her. Why didn’t she walk to put this butchery in front of her to at least direct the attention away? I believe a professional politician would have either asked to stop the filming completely or at least immediately “walked through shot” to a different camera angle.
Hasselback felt the media wasn’t giving her a “fair shake” and treated Obama as a “darling” or find Palin as interesting. Well I disagree, because the media and America did find Palin not only interesting, likeable, but emitting an airhead quality, that became fascinating to watch.
Watching the turn of economic, military, and real estate events, Obama is in limbo and time will tell soon enough can Obama meet the road when January 20th gets here. I just wish people would quit implying that he is the messiah and he walks on water. Main Street Americans not satisfied with our government are a huge priority to him and they were his largest supporters during the campaign. But so far we haven’t seen a glimmer of hope our way yet. Only reminders of what he told us. I say, let him get in office first.
