The Audacity of Pretentiousness, how the Media Worships Barack Obama and the Atrocious Ways he uses the Women who Raised him, for Political Gain.

The media is painting Barack Obama as a saint even as he continues to screw up big time. First Barack Obama did not accept John McCain's proposed suspension of McCain's campaign for a couple of days to deal with the economic bailout proposal. Instead, Barack Obama actually painted John McCain as being afraid to debate him, and that that was the real reason for McCain wanting to suspend his own campaign.

Barack Obama refused to accept John McCain's campaign suspension, and this just shows how inexperienced and inadequate Barack Obama is at negotiating. Barack Obama negotiated with only the present in mind, not even an inkling of what may lay ahead in as short of a time span as two weeks!

Fast Forward two weeks and now Barack Obama is suspending his own campaign to go to Hawaii for a few days, to be with his ill grandmother! This is a big time diplomatic gaffe that the media will refuse to address. You don't ridicule the opposition for wanting a campaign suspension to deal with the economic bail out plan, then take a campaign suspension yourself two weeks later. This just proves that Barack Obama does not know how to negotiate.

To make matters even worse, you don't schedule family illnesses to fit into your own comfort zone, as Barack Obama has done in the past, and now has done again!

Barack Obama, if he was the gentleman and diplomat he is purported to being, would have agreed to the proposed "McCain suspension time out" and taken that same suspension time to go Hawaii to be with his ailing grandmother. Instead Barack Obama timed his visit to his grandmother to when it best suited his own needs. This is a sociopathic pattern of behavior that Barack Obama has practiced before.

In 1995, Barack Obama actually flew over Hawaii, and his dying mother, to go to Bali to finish writing a book about his sperm donor father, even as his mother was in her final months of life battling the insurance companies over health care coverage, and apparently battling them on her own.

During the second debate Barack Obama told the story about his mother dying in a hospital bed alone as she battled the insurance companies over her insurance coverage. Barack never mentions his own role in helping or not helping his mother out during that critical time in her life. So Barack Obama had time to finish writing a book about his sperm donor father, but not enough time to be by his mother's bedside. Barack Obama HAS PROFITED from this story about his mother, respinning it as both a television commercial first during the primaries, and then retelling it during the second debate. Rachel Maddow called it "the moment" from that second debate.

Barack Obama could have written the book about his already passed father at any time, but he only had those precious final months to be with his mother. Yet Barack Obama chose finishing the book about his sperm donor father OVER being with his mother. Between writing his book and and making the political rounds in Chicago, it was as if Barack Obama could not have kept further distance from his dying mother even if he had tried.

Now Barack Obama is CHOOSING WHEN to be with his Grandmother, not when his Grandmother might have needed Barack Obama most. In Barack Obama's world, it's about when others can help him that matters most to him, when it should be the other way around.

NBC does the right thing and reposts the Saturday Night Live CSPAN Bailout with George Soros, Pelosi, Frank, Bush & Sandler Lookalikes.

(Edit update - Feb. 03, 2010 Read the Transcript of the Saturday Night Live George Soros skit by clicking here. I transcribed it myself so please link to it rather than just copying it as it took a while to do.)

I just briefly glanced the new version of the Saturday Night Live CSPAN Bailout Spoof. It appears to be slightly shorter than the prior version, about 10 seconds shorter. As I had suggested in a prior article, removing the Sandler graphic suggesting they be punished (actually it was much stronger language than that and I don't want to repeat it) was really all that needed to be done, and it appears that is what was done! I think some edits may have been tightened up to make the pacing go faster.

I just read elsewhere that one short exchange between the Sandlers and "Barney Frank" was taken out. I'm ok with that as well. The whole piece still works.

The Soros piece seems to have been left intact. I don't consider it censorship since the Sandler section simply had a somewhat dangerous graphic overlay removed. In the Soros section the superimposed graphics were very powerful and possibly true and it appears they have been left intact.
