Comments on: Don’t “Gotcha” Me, Barack! http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2008/04/17/dont-gotcha-me-barack/ The blog of the mystery writer, screenwriter and CEO of Pajamas Media Thu, 16 Feb 2012 02:51:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: CaliforniaDreamer http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2008/04/17/dont-gotcha-me-barack/#comment-94085 CaliforniaDreamer Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:18:14 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2008/04/17/dont-gotcha-me-barack/#comment-94085 One of the beauties of TiVo is you can go back and watch things over again. On my second viewing of the debate, after reading the "gotcha" complaints, I was thoroughly entertained by how the interviewers gave Clinton a couple of chances to be asked new questions and she declined, preferring to add onto the "character" questions that had been on the table to Obama. At one point, she even stated one of those questions was "legitimate" so Obama is going to have a tough time avoiding these questions for six more months when even a Democratic stalwart has deemed them legitimate.

For years these same people have called Bush a war criminal, a liar, a cheat, a thief, an idiot, a chimp, a moron, incompetent, evil...they have openly wished for his death, they have jumped with joy for every bit of bad news that has come his way, they have lived for paranoia, conspiracy theories, witch hunts, investigations.... etc in one big long gotcha moment...and when they get just a little bit of it back they whine and they cry and they demand justice. Well all I can say is the left can dish it out, but they can not take it. They took political discourse in this country and put it right down a toilet. This is how hate works, it devours the hater. Could not happen to nicer bunch of guys and gals. What a bunch of cry babies.

Now we are finding out the Senator Obama has associated with Bill Ayers the terrorist and Rezko the indicted and has a mentor named Rev. "Goddamn America" Wright. There hasn't been any real digging by the media like where did the money come from to buy the Senator's home and lot adjacent to it. There is a Saddam bagman that hasn't even been touched in the news yet but will be, the Democrats had a shoo-in and they pick political cripples.

As is the nature of his thought processes. Obama has never held a substantial executive job, so he may actually not understand the difference between a leader and a walking position paper. “Gotcha, not substantive issues”…we are electing a Chief Executive, and, in an exective job, an individual’s people-selection skills are extremely substantive.

The journalistic community cut him a lot of slack because they perceived him to be the dark skinned messiah offering redemption to guilt tripped whites. Tough question were therefore not asked---and now the proverbial crap has hit the fan. Obama may be comparable to a fast ball hitting minor leaguer who is promoted to the major leagues before learning how to handle a wicked curve.

Roger, Isn't that also the Hamas defense? “Also Obama wants us to excuse Wright because his church did some “good things.”

Roger,

Isn’t that also the Hamas defense?

He's been coddled by a very supportive press--"rock star" and all that hoo-hah--so that when he gets a couple of reasonable questions, it seems like "gotcha". If he thinks Charlie Gibson and Georgie Boy are too tough, he ain't seen nothin' yet. Welcome to big leagues, kid! But don't forget, this is the same guy who has refused to talk to Fox News for years. (What has he got to be afraid of?) Scott P.S. I wonder what his stance is on the Brigitte Bardot trial. What's your take, Roger? Yet another indication that Obama is not ready for prime time.
