Louisiana Republican Flees Interview When Asked About Obama's Birthplace

There seems to be a shortage of journalists who will ask the President the really tough questions. It's my impression that when it come to the President, Journalists show a certain deference. They should not do that.

Here is an example. Why have we never heard a journalist question former President Clinton on whether he realized that on November 12th, 1999, he was signing a bill that included the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act-- an act that would virtually eliminate the wall between investment and commercial banks, and between banks and insurance companies. An act that would repeal the most salient parts of the Glass-Steagall act. To the best of my knowledge he has never been asked to comment on that, let alone be taken to task for it..

 

Probably wasn't thinking clearly because Monica was under the desk.

 

This has become one of the funniest things I read. LOL

"Not listening to your bilge!!" Great stuff.

 

That's a recent development - they sure had no problem going after Bush.

That example had more to do with journalists just not understanding anything about the bill than shying away from asking. Very few journalists understand economics.

 

Most just follow the scripts and question lines they are given.

 

Right, and that means they aren't journalists at all, but reporters who follow the whim and narrative their station wants.

 

consequently the phrase......."People get the Government they deserve"

 

I suppose if you were around during the Jim Crow era you'd be telling the blacks that, right?

 

I'm telling everyone that.....now and for all time.
