The American Media bites worse than Guam Airport

The American media is just appalling. There really isn't any other word for it. Unless your head is buried deep up your tail, it should be obvious that there are countless problems in the U.S. that should be the laser like focus of the election, but here is where the conversation is now, Barack Obama and a flag lapel on his suit. A few months back we had the John Edwards haircut media cycle. Now this. Way to focus on the issues guys.

The fact that people exploit patriotism for political gain is more offensive than Obama's lack of lapels. Bush flying in with the flight deck with the Mission Accomplished banner like Caesar when he was ducking Vietnam is gross. Rudy with his endless 9/11 photo ops even when he put his command center in the WTC when everyone told him not to is revolting. This Obama episode is the kind of phony, media bullshit issue that distracts from serious issues: the oil addiction, being ranked twentysomething in education and health care, our leading role in emissions that cause Global Warming, our global unpopularity brought on by our wretched president and his expensive, endless war, and a massive debt financed by an oppressive government in China. That's what the conversation should be about, not this crap --- again.
