Yep....

Actually, I'm just hoping that it's simply not true in the first place.

It's really sad to see our current President vilified,minimized, and insulted in the way the media vilified, minimized and insulted Dubya.

Sam,
BO has gone through this from day one.

GWB didn't enter into office going through this.
In fact, after 9/11, he was quite popular.

It wasn't until several years later (4 or 5 years later) that GWB started to become villified-- even then, it doesn't mean it was right. However, GWB EARNED his villification.


BO has been villified from the start.

Besides, if this story IS true, what did that black camerawoman ever do to deserve that kind of treatment?

How was disrespecting her, disrespecting Obama? I could answer, but I'd rather you answer it.

We don't know how accurate the story is, but it sounds like it was outright racism by white people against a black camera person or maybe sexism against a female camera person, or a combination of both.

Disrespecting her had nothing to with disrespecting Obama. This thread has gone from just talking about the incident to the camera person to how our Presidents are portrayed bye the media.

JD - that's hilarious.
Don't you remember Algore and the "stolen" election.
GWB was vilified even before the inauguration!
Remember the way the White House was trashed by the Clinton/Gore team?
He was hated from the moment the election was validated.
There was a brief period when the haters were silenced, because it is hard to criticize the leader of your nation, when it has just been attacked.
However, they stuck to their playbook and won out in the end.

After the way they demonized and portrayed Bush as an idiot did you expect anything less?

It was TWO people that did that to her and we don't even know if they were republicans

The difference is that it was the media who did it to Dubya. It's mostly "good Christian folk" who do it to Obama. I thought the Bible says to pray for our leaders, not spread innuendos and outright lies about them.
A personal note to JD, don't bother pointing out actions by republicans that minimize, marginalize, or demean minorities. They just say you are pulling out the race card and call you a racist when it was their words and actions that are out of line.
