Pres. Obama All Over TV
A Scott Stanis Cartoon There were a lot of funny editorial cartoons on Pres. Obama going from TV program to TV program last week. On the Sunday News programs, he was everywhere but Fox News. That was a BAD call. From what I have heard and read, the Pres. wanted to reach more people especially his critics to promote the health care bill. So shouldn't he have gone on the Fox Sunday News Program? That cable news channel has the largest viewing audience of the news channels and news programming. Fox news has a larger audience than MSNBC and CNN combined.
I think that Chris Wallace would not have been any harder than George Stephanopoulos on President friendly ABC. I wonder if one of the reasons for Pres. Obama not going on Fox had anything to do with not wanting to share the program with ACORN's Bertha Lewis. Could it be that he didn't want that immediate association!
The Plot Thickens in the Philly Area Swimming Pool Racism Incident
Remember hearing about the day camp of largely black and latino children being tossed out of the Valley Club's swimming pool on June 29th? The excuse given was that there were too many children for the pool to accommodate them. Well the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission has determined that Valley club officials did discriminate against the children. Even worse, a woman who questioned why all the black children were there and sent negative emails about the children to various swim club members had been a few of the children's math teacher at the school they attend. She charged that one particular child was a thief. That child's mother is legally going after the teacher for slander and etc., because the school authorities never attributed any stolen items to her child. The mother says her child was never disciplined by the school for stealing. There is now a growing protest from the school's parents to have the teacher terminated.
