Memo to the Press: Bug Off!

The press has just gone over the edge. It continues to show just how crazily enamored with the President it is. Normally, I'd provide a link for you to check out the story, but, I am sorry, I just cannot bring myself to give these news outlets any more hits. I will tell you that both the Today Show this morning, and my local NBC station last night "reported" this inane so-called"story".

Apparently, it is breaking news that, during a taped interview, the President, actually, on his own, managed to ------ prepare yourself for this ----- swat a fly. Not only that, but, he also picked it up and threw it away when the interview was over. Are you not overly impressed with our President's amazing capabilities? It seems the press cannot get over the fact that the President performed this normal, everyday feat, as, well, a normal, everyday person would.

It's as if the press has consumed some sort of potion (think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) and needs to be poked and made to wake up out of its Obama worship. Fly swatting is neither news, nor is it "human interest". Now, if they can play me video of the President swatting Kim Jong-il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that would be news, especially since the President has, unsurprisingly, been channeling Neville Chamberlain for so long (and we all know where Neville brought us).

To the press (and you know who you are): it's really time to get over this insane infatuation and start doing your job.
