Media Fixate on the Obama Family Dog, Ignore Local Elections

In our nation, presidential pooches are front-page stories. Local democracy is, at best, filler surrounding classified ads and comic strips.

I am sick of the Media talking about petty stuff, when there is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT issues, they should be covering, and INVESTIGATING!

Glamorizing the Presidency is WHY Washington is so messed up, and why the Lobbyist's have taken control.

Here they are focusing on the Illinois Gov; when it done ALL THE TIME; The media should take a look at Bush's and the Republican Party RANGER'S! If you can afford it, just about everyone BRIBES or PURCHASE a Position! Blagovach, just got too BRAZEN with his demands, he should have gotten some advice from the Republican Party on how make it sound good, and look legit!

Heck, Obama HAD TO OFFER Hillary the position of Secy of State because of her suppose 18 million cracks in the ceiling, and STILL trying to help her pay off her campaign expense, when the Clinton's have more than enough to pay off their OWN DEBT! Don't tell me, the Clinton's are not part of the "PAY TO PLAY" era! You know they made their DEAL with Obama, in order for them to CAMPAIGN for him!

Their time and efforts should be on Wall Street, and all the Big Businesses that's STEALING money from the tax payer's, via the Bailouts, and TRACK, INVESTIGATE, WHAT HAPPENED to our MONEY, and where the SOB'S are hiding it!

Well, Goldman Sachs has given us a clue, they are only paying 1% in taxes, for they've taken their unearned PROFITS, OFF SHORE! Check out Rachel Maddow from last evening 12/17.
