You just blocked out or ignored the right's criticism of GB1 & 2. Though you really should have noticed GB1 didn't get a second term. Suck it up.
Critizism of Bush is just that critizism of Bush. I really don't care if you critize Obama, I do that too. My problem is making Obama into a socialist dictator wanna-be when he IS NOT, he's just an American politician... and that's bad enough.
Point understood...Obama IS just another politician who is there to represent the people. When he puts stories out that "they have complete control over" this does journalism a huge disservice because they think "well...Obama's team did all of our work!!! Let's just put it out like they gave it to us." I find this whole issue quite telling in that Obama seems to have pulled a page from Hugo Chavez's book.
If you control what the media sees and hears about you...you control the media.
Why is this fact so difficult to swallow?
In that sense yeah.. of course. I agree. Same way I control what people see me do outside of my house and what I choose to leave in my house they don't see. Simple concept and a politically smart one at that... but it's dangerous in it's own right. I find it rediculous though when certain people attribute the tactic to communism. Communism and socialism are now just turning into broad terms to denounce anything certain people don't like. It's to multifacated of an ideology to just pin someone on. I guess that's just why I'm annoyed.
