Obama strikes again
by Claudia Sonea
Wake up US, it’s time to see who you elected! This year should have been the year of glory for President Barack Obama, yet he failed to rise up to everyone's expectations. In order to compensate his lack of power to accomplish at least some of his promises, he takes wrong decisions and accepts prizes that he doesn’t deserve. Would this phrase be taken up as a declaration of war by the White House? As there are voices rising against the Obama administration, the White House seems to be the favourite target for many attacks, especially coming from the media. However, it is not the media’s fault that they are incomp! etent and fail to meet expectations. Usually you expect lies, rumours, misleading information coming from the media, but this time what they are only pointing out the obvious about the president and his employees. Due to the fact that US is famous for the right to an opinion, you would expect the White House to accept the critics and try to make things right or to combat diplomatically the critics, yet the situation is completely different. Fox Channel News, one of the top-rated cable news networks, seems to be at war with the White House for daring to present opinions which were actually based on true facts like the health care demonstrations over the summer or the controversies surrounding former administration official Van Jones and the community activists ACORN. It is not only preposterous that the right to an opinion is being ignored, but it is also outrageous that an administration that should invest time and effort in getting the country out of ! the recession, still finds time to engage in arguments with th! e press. The country is burning and the old lady is brushing her hair. Mister President, what are you going to do? Until now, you did not manage to do anything outstanding, nor did you succeed in fulfilling your promises. The media brought you where you are today and turning against it, would only lead to your downfall. Good luck!
