Apparently there’s been quite a stir about reporters standing up for the new president when he enters a room. I did like this video from CNN, showing another angle of the story and giving a chance for one of the so-called “liberal media reporters” to show his bleeding heart. It’s very true, the look on the face of the reporter from Fox News is rather funny when he spots Obama coming and then springs to his feet with the others, (I probably would have swallowed my tongue too, if the President walked in on me while I was asking a question,): CNN Video – Stand Up or Sit Down?
Chances are, the excitement about President Obama will wear off in the coming months. The media will go back to covering political blunders, wars, and celebrity scandals while Republican senators and congressmen eventually get their hormones under control and get back to work across the isle from their I-hope-I-don’t-offend-someone-by-having-an-opinion Democratic counterparts. Maybe Nancy Pelosi will grow a spine, maybe Fred Thompson will learn to keep his mouth shut, who knows? The times they are a-changin’, and maybe we’ll change back to what it was like when politicians were elected to do their jobs first and worry about their popularity and which side is winning second. Either way, I’m going to keep drinking.
