IF PRESIDENT OBAMA ISN'T CAREFUL, he's gonna have the entire american corporate media complex after his national security obsessed self. Even the New York Times is up in arms, and if they want his hide, then any other newspaper or television network or radio station in the land of free speech could soon follow suit.
Its no secret that the united states government keeps all kindsa cute little secrets, with a great deal of incompetence; thus we all know about them: new weaponry, terrorist tracking, captured extraterrestrials and their spaceships, plans to infiltrate and disrupt domestic anti war organizations, and such like. Have we left anything out? Probaably, the entire gamut is difficult to run.
The problem is the incompetence part. Uncle Sam never met a secret he couldn't fabricate or spill; uncle sam likes to talk, uncle sam is as leaky as a sieve on a shallow sea shore. And this sieve-i-ness pisses off obama, majorly.
Liberal democrats are so cute when they try to behave like conservative republicans in order to prove that they are tough on crime, strong on fefense, and all macho and stuff. But, tapping phone lines of reporters and rummaging through the file cabinets of media executives might be just a tad over the line, dare we say, "nixonian?".
Obama, according to his sister, couldn't get mad at a copperhead in his P.J.'s, but he sure looks funny trying, and after all, what is politics but amusement and entertainment? His attempt at righteous outrage is as feigned and shallow as martha stewart at a drive thru taco bell, and the whole national securty mess is as deep in the mud as a heifer in a horse pond, to borrow a line from the inimitable davy crockett, the greatest of all politician-entertainers.
But its all good, as they say. Hint: any country with more military might than the next twelve countries combined hardly needs to keep secrets of any sort, but hey, we all seem to enjoy it, and, truth be told, it does keep a lotta potentially self harmful people off the streets, and gives the rest of us something to smile about over coffee and bagels, hidden in sunglasses behind the morning paper.
