“Obama Carefully Inspects White House Windows for Energy Efficiency”

Obama’s commitment to the environment is amazing says the Sierra Club…….

Actually the Brit papers frequently print stuff no US paper would dare print.

It wouldn’t be as funny about President Obama because he is stupid.

It’s easy to forget that the U.S. is one of the most (the most?) conservative developed nation on earth.

Not only that, no “respected, American” conservative publication would write it that way. The fact that the Left does print bias (which almost always tends to be implied rather than stated), while the Right doesn’t, is significant.

But we both know that is a cop out. If you’re going to tell us all about Left Wing bias 101, why pick a relatively conservative British paper (at least conservative in the UK spectrum) and a NY paper with a reputation not much better than TMZ? What’s next, pro-Obama bias in Die Spiegel and TV Guide?

There are valid important arguments to be made about media bias. I just think posts like yours make Redstate look bad, and lessens the overall conservative argument about bias.

I believe that the author of the article perpetrated a hoax. Picture a budding journalist having his unbiased straight news articles rejected. Eventually he says to a friend or acquaintance “I’ll bet I can get any piece of swill printed as long as I say somewhere in the article that Obama is brilliant and Bush is an idiot.”

“I’ll take that bet”, says the friend, and voila; even as I write, the author of the article is being treated to steak and a beer by his formerly skeptical companion.

I imagine the list of media sources, “respected” or otherwise, that were not completely in the tank for Obama would be a lot shorter.

The new US President, who has already been a resident at the White House for just over a week, was photographed from the gardens of the White House on Tuesday. Mr Obama was trying to return to the Oval Office after meeting House and Senate Republicans.

Instead of heading straight for the door, Mr Obama showed his ingorance and aimed for a door-length paned window.

He was pictured peering at the “door” until he realized that it had no handle. The real and rather obvious door was a few feet to the right of it.

His “door malfunction” could have been far more embarrassing than that experienced so publicly by George W Bush three years ago on a visit to China.

While exiting a press conference in the capital, Beijing, Mr Bush tugged on the handles of an unfamiliar giant door, only to find it locked.

He was good-humoured enough to laugh off the incident and make funny faces for the photographers, since almost every person alive has experienced at some point in their lives.

While there was little note taken in Washington of Mr Obama’s mistake, it exemplifies his absentmindedness and lack of clear thinking when not in front of a teleprompter.

Mr Obama received an icy reception from Republican leaders in Congress to his Marxist-inspired $825 billion (£600) “economic stimulus package.”

Anyone care to wonder if that one would have been sent back for rewrite?
