Title: The compliant media helps the Obamas 'speak out about their pain'
Post by: DixieBelle on May 02, 2008, 10:13:38 AM

An evening after the NBC Nightly News showcased Michelle Obama's plea to move on from focusing on Jeremiah Wright because talking about him “doesn't help kids out there,” on Thursday night the newscast again provided a platform for Barack and Michelle Obama to advance their efforts to show humility and paint media coverage as unfair. Setting up a second night of excerpts from the interview the couple conducted with Meredith Vieira for the Today show, anchor Brian Williams explained how “both went out of their way to say they understand that a lot of Americans are right now trying to figure out just who Barack Obama is.”

The excerpt began with Barack Obama maintaining “it's understandable” to “raise questions” about him because he's an African-American named Barack, “so if I don't wear a flag pin, that becomes a cause for concern,” but “if John McCain doesn't wear a flag pin, look, he's a war hero.”

That prompted Vieira to empathize: “So you're treated differently, then, you think?” And to wonder to Michelle Obama: “So you never sit there and get upset about these?” Barack Obama interjected that “she stops reading the newspapers during certain spans of time” before she quipped, during loving back-and-forth joshing: “I take the paper and I ball it up and I throw it in a corner!”

obviously, either Barack or Michelle Obama know how to answer these questions anymore... and if they think the American public is dumb enough to fall for that 'let's talk about the kids' stuff - they are even more naive than we thought.

rush is just now talking about this..

Oh joy, the arrogant twit with the loudmouthed wife doing a Klinton circa 1992 joint interview. Bitch, bitch, bitch, whine, whine, whine, they're trying to guilt trip their way into the White House by doing so. I don't really care if they think it's understandable or not, I'll NEVER vote for him.
