The Right Shouldn’t Do To Obama What The Left Did To Bush
I’m getting a ton of emails today about some pretty silly stories.
Like some alleged media conspiracy to cover up the fact that Obama asked for Dijon mustard with his hamburger yesterday. And Michelle Obama wearing a dress to the UN that she’s worn once before.
Now, I dislike Barack Obama. I think he’s a terrible President, an inept leader, and the negative impact of the policies he’s already implemented in his first 100+ days are doing to be with us for decades. But given that he already enjoys the protection and empathy of a friendly press corps full of liberals who largely agree with his policies, dinging Obama and the people around him with stories like these is a waste of time.
We can laugh at his endless teleprompter gaffes. We can laugh at all the foolish little mistakes Obama and his people are going to make in general. But there’s a line between humor/parody and outright pettiness.
Let’s not let the opposition to Obama devolve into the sort of outright hatred we saw aimed at President Bush.
