The Blame Game Begins
Opinion
I am absolutely amazed! It has been less than 2 weeks since the election and the media (especially conservative right wing) is, already, blaming President-Elect Barack H. Obama for the problems of the world. Understanding that there is only one elected President of the United States of America at one time, the media still thinks that Obama should be taking action on a number of fronts such as the economy.
I know that this pressure will grow and by January 20, 2009, it will be expected that Obama will have all the problems solved in a week’s time. It must be understood that 80% of any success is in the planning not the execution.
I believe that Election Campaign 2012 has already begun. The Republican Party does not want Obama to succeed. There will be no “coming together” for the good of the country. There will be only lip service for such a great cause. I think that Obama should “stay the course” in which he will spend a large amount of time in planning his actions in secret. If he is to be successful, he can not be a great friend to the media. In the end the media will stab him in the back when they get tired of him. Knowing that media, that will be in a very short period of time.
I feel that it will be up to “major and minor” bloggers to keep the media at bay and try and be more objective in their postings. This is not a time in history to waste our edge in the ability to be objective and informative with our audiences. We, as a community, must be the vanguard in doing everything possible to support this president. We must give him the time and space to solve the many domestic and global problems that affect each and everyone of us in the world. Otherwise, we will all be the losers regardless of political loyalty.
