January 26, 2009 - PPM - Obama Love Fest Continues

This week’s PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is the Continued Obama Love-Fest by the Media.

Headlines On This Date 4 Years Ago – about George W. Bush’s Inauguration:

"Republicans spending $42 million on inauguration while troops Die in unarmored Humvees"

"Bush extravagance exceeds any reason during tough economic times"

"Fat cats get their $42 million inauguration party, Ordinary Americans get the shaft"


Headlines This Week:

"Historic Obama Inauguration will cost only $160 million"

"Obama Spends $160 million on inauguration; America Needs A Big Party"

"Everyman Obama shows America how to celebrate"

"Citibank executives contribute $8 million to Obama Inauguration"


Time, Newsweek, and all major newspapers were offering “Commemorative Editions”

You could buy Obama’s likeness on coins, plates, and on anything that didn’t move.

Now, Obama’s first piece of legislation is a $800 Billion “Stimulus” Bill.

The problem is that there is more pork in this bill than the Arkansas State Fair. Unfortunately, NO ONE in the MEDIA will report it.

I wonder when the Media honeymoon will be over? Is there an over/under on the unemployment rate?
