Hound, that is exactly what I mean when I say you can't get your news from the mainstream media but you need to dig deeper. They baasically cherry pick a couple of positive items and ignore the plethora of negatives (protests, sneering at the President, Merkel lecturing Obama about going too far to the left, etc.). Honestly, do you really believe you are going to get a complete picture out of the media considering their love for the guy and having abandoned all pretense of onbjectivity during the campaign?

I never said anything about the entourage to the G20. It does seem excessive but I understand that 200 of them are Secret Service agents. I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of his lecturing us about tightening our belts and criticizing executives about losses while he proposes multi-trillion dollar deficits while expanding the staff at the White House over previous administrations. This is typical for an socialist elitist like Obama who has one standard for everyone else and an entirely different one for himself.

As for the teleprompter, yes all Presidents use them. But I have never seen any of them use them at every single event like Obama. Face it, the guy is a disaster off the prompter resulting in off-color cracks about the Special Olympics that would have set the media on fire had something like that come from W and you know it. And that doesn't even address the multitudes of um's, uh's and ah's. You simply have a different standard for Obama than you did with Bush and you are not alone, that is also true for 99% of the media.
