Today the President rolled out another executive order to circumvent existing laws and moved to grant amnesty to roughly 800,000 illegal immigrants.  During one of his ‘hit-and-run’ speeches the president was interrupted by an overeager reporter.  The president responded succinctly, as he should have considering the crass failure of the offending action, and the press conference (which to be frank is more of an announcement that could be done via text message or twitter for all the validity it held) and the slavering dogs that compose the larger swath of the fourth pillar were loosed like the hounds of war and the word ‘question’ became ‘heckle’, the afternoon topic became, yet again, whether the fictitious boogeyman of ‘inherent racism’ that has so far plagued this President every day of his career had now infiltrated the pure core of the press.

This wasn’t some malicious act.  It was an overeager reporter trying to get the question in before everyone else does.  If you watch the video, the assumption that the speech was over is an obvious one.  And, those of us who have heard the delightful little ditty that “to assume makes an ass of you and me”.  In this case, the President was right in chiding the reporter for speaking before the speech was over, but the press should be analyzing why the President does these little hit-and-run speeches, why there are no questions allowed on topics of national interest.  Why these actions are more dictum from our leader rather than policies to be touted out before the American people

No, we get the sad reflexive gagging media, stunned into stupor that anyone would interrupt, let alone dare ask a question of, and they insist on adding this to the mix, the first black President.  I’d call him a fall guy if I were paranoid. Posit the argument that He interrupted at that specific moment, and made a scene for everyone to jump on so we, and by we I mean the people that need to fill a 24 hour news cycle, could focus on that rather than the announcement that just rolled out of the White House.  Again, not paranoid, but look at Drudge, MSNBC, CNN, etc.  It’s not the announcement they’re talking about, but whether the President is struggling, not because of wildly irrational and short-sighted policies, but because of all those nasty ‘racists’ out there.  The dealer keeps doling out the same card every time, and wonders why we are getting tired of seeing it.
