First 100 Days.
I don't think that I have ever blogged about politics, but I just logged on to Yahoo, and found this article...
President Obama's First 100 Days...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl314
I couldn't help but to be amused by the irony of the article. What they highlight as Obama's "highs," to me, actually seem to be his lows.
However, the media is most likely not giving all of the information regarding any of the events, so it's hard to tell if the actions taken by our new President are actually for the better of the American people.
As the famous John Mayer song goes, "When they have the only information, Oh they can bend it all they want."
What ever happened to truthful press? Where did the good and honest headlines go? Please, save the op-ed for the op-ed section. We as common people of America can't actually be in the middle of the Washington Politics, so that is what the news media is for. But when they are biased, the information they give becomes that way also. How is that right? How can we look past all of the garbage the media throws at us so we can see the truth behind the story.
Now here is something that really gets me started...
Remember back in 1999... there was all this hype about the Y2K and worldwide computer crash? Grannies all over America stormed the grocery stores like Normandy on D-Day to stock up on milk, bread, and canned goods. What on earth? Computer crash?? NO!
What no one knew is that there was, in fact, a threat to the United States, but not by a worldwide computer shutdown. The threat was actually posed by the same people who eventually would attack the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The threat that Homeland Security received was that something "bad" would happen to America on December 31, 1999 at midnight. What was actually supposed to happen December 31 was delayed however, and finally commenced on September 11, 2001 .
This miniseries that aired on ABC in 2006, though there has been some controversey surrounding it, was very insightful.
The Path to 9/11
I think that it is important to make sure to tell my readers that the nature of this post is not to slander on our President. God calls us to honor, respect, and pray for our leaders. This post is mostly to bring light to the age old saying, "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see." Just think of how much more effective we could be as the common everyday American if we only knew the truth. If we were fully enlightened, then half of the garbage that goes on behind closed doors may not happen and America would truly be a government for and by the people.

ReplyDeleteI could not help but laugh: so did our family. Shelves and shelves of supplies.
Great post!
Amen. As a (possible) English major, I have though of going into the journalism field. But one of the basic rules of reporting is to KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF. Well, that rule is slowly dying...
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It's so true.
