The Obama and Jackson megaphones
It was more in the past than in the present did I note Rev. Jesse Jackson with his fame and accomplishments in the areas of Civil Rights had to also be his own press corp.
He was effective! I would imagine he pondered early in his career why the media registered amnesia when he ever did or said anything. In other words, as the media had it, he was just grabbing the microphone as “a flash in the pan.” It was during this time I noted Rev. Jackson spending more of his media time bringing the public up to speed not only of what he was currently doing but also presenting his past credentials for doing it.
The media grew weary by saying things like, “Rev. Jackson never saw a microphone he didn’t like”, but what was it to do; after all this was THE Rev. Jackson speaking. For reasons which I am still very grateful but remain baffled, the media never turned against him. Of course there were isolated instances but never a massive media effort to discredit anything he did or said.
I am taking note Pres. Obama following in the foot-steps of Rev. Jackson by repeating the accomplishments of his administration every chance he can in coherent and concise manners. I often see on Dkos succinct diaries of his accomplishments to date but not in mainstream media nor articulated by political pundits. In my opinion, everything Pres. Obama and his administration does in the eye of the media is treated as “Soup of the day” issues. They cover their laziness with BS by saying how short the memory of the public is and get away with it. The enclosed *diary by scamperdo is one of many in defiance of their claims as to our short memories. BTW, it is my opinion the ungracious and perhaps diabolical lack of the media’s long memory that is greatly contributing to its rapid demise.
However, I remain mindful of criticism stating Pres. Obama is doing too much which in translation means, “To Sir, with love, we can not keep up with the class!” and those claims are coming from graduates of such institutions as the Columbia School of Journalism but oh, how they can keep up with Sarah Palin. It must be the water at Columbia. (Smile)
As always,

P.S. Zell Miller does not realize Pres. Obama and his administration have been using Gorilla Glue since January trying to hold this country together in spite of creeps like him. Gorilla Glue may well be neo-con and Zionist antiseptic keeping this country from going the chaotic way of the Gaza strip. The good Mr. Miller is so observant! Let’s all give to him a hearty three cheers and a frosty glass of Hemlock wishing him well in paying off his IOU debts to Lucifer!

-Zell, Zell, Zell! What do you think I was doing when I was granting you all those mean spirited wishes? Did you think they were for free? You mean to tell me you had no idea you were talking to me instead of to my nemesis, God? Is that what you thought?? (LOLROF) To hell with you, (More laughter) and that’s no pun! (Hysterical)

*Obama pivoting, NO August recess until health care reform!?
by scamperdo
Excerpt:
Obama stated 3 principals he campaigned heavily on and have most public support and left it up to Congress to come up with a plan/bill. Unlike Clinton, Obama made Congress OWN the bill. Meanwhile, he went ahead and confronted AMA and other special interests and basically twisted their arms to get onboard so yeah they could fight off any hints of their great fear, single payer.
If Health reform goes down, Obama will pivot like the ruthless street fighter he can be, and shove the failure down GOP and Congress throat.
He's already fucking preparing that defense in his latest STRONG statements, demanding Congress get it DONE. He's set himself up on the SIDE OF THE PEOPLE clamoring for real life CHANGE but being blocked by CONGRESS and special interests.
Comment:
And why is it still Democrats vs Republicans when (11+ / 0-)
there are no more reasonable Republicans left and there are as many INDEPENDENTS in the public as there are Democrats or Republicans?
Where in the hell are the array of "independent" voices on these political talk shows? Why do Republicans get such a disproportionate amount of air time when they are royal fuck ups and hardly any rational person even identifies as a Republican anymore?
This bullshit is silencing the "sensible middle" which could be a very helpful perspective in all this so we can make PROGRESS......
