'THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING HERE'
Fine. One question: WHY DO IT FROM THE FRICKING WHITE HOUSE?
One word: Ratings.
The President is popular. ABC would broadcast from Oprah's house if they thought it would attract viewers.
I think what we're going to see here is the "Cry Wolf" syndrome coming back to haunt conservatives. For the past five months not a day has gone by without bloggers, talk show hosts and cable news jocks decrying Obama's Socialist/Communist/Marxist thugocracy. He is depicted as a Nazi and his supporters are frequently compared to Hitler Youth. This has had the result of having all of this over-the-top criticism dismissed as partisan nonsense and it is ignored - nothing more than white noise in an already noisy media landscape.
So what happens now that we have a legitimate concern? The same partisans who have made absurd claims for months on end are now asking to be taken seriously now that they have a real story. They will likely be ignored by most Americans who just don't trust them anymore.
"Obama is a Commie!" If we've heard it once, we've heard it a thousand times.
