Hillary Clinton wins Puerto Rico and the beginning of the end of the media lovefest for Barack Obama

It must be nice to be a media mogul. I would love to be able to manipulate people's perceptions and pull their strings like the proverbial puppet master. I place a heavy dose of blame on the mainstream media for the state of the nation today. It was the hacks at ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and so on and so on and so on who gave us such smash hits as "Bush vs. Gore," "The lead-up to the War in Iraq," "The Swiftboating of John Kerry" and, most recently, "The Character and Career Assassination of Hillary Clinton" (I used the word "assassinate" - how dare I). So, I don't think I'm being too paranoid or overly cautious when I double and triple check news stories against many other sources. These people have an agenda - a sad one at that which boils down to the fact that if they pump up the drama enough by creating news rather than reporting it, they keep viewers and, by extension, advertising dollars.

Hillary Clinton won the Puerto Rican primary today, a victory which, like many preceding it, the Associated Press referred to as "symbolic." Symbolic of what, they did not elaborate on, but I will be so bold as to say that her victories are symbolic of her ability to win in the general election - despite media attempts to shut her down. Well, to be honest, it is the mainstream media in bed with the so-called Democratic "leadership."

As they believe they have curtailed the presidency of Hillary Clinton, the mainstream media now turns their scope on Barack Obama. The video below, originally embedded in a post on No Quarter is a two-part CNN "special report" on Obama's prior campaigns:

Suffice it to say, he does not play nice...and incidentally, RealClearPolitics reported this nearly a month ago. So, "hope and change we can believe in?" Obama supporters, I know how you feel about your candidate - your passion is unparalleled, but I really have to level with you: I think we've all been sold a false messiah. And, I'm being completely honest when I say that this is not what I wanted to see happen.

I have been essentially breathing this campaign for months now. When it started, I was actually optimistic about what the Democratic Party had: a female contender and a minority contender. This seemed too good to be true...and it was. The more I researched and read about Obama, the less I thought he was qualified or worthy of the presidency. I don't delude myself into believing that Hillary Clinton is a saint by any stretch of the imagination, nor do I hold John McCain in any high esteem in any way, shape or form. However, the campaign of Barack Obama has turned out to be one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated upon the American public. And now everything is going to come out for those who, unlike me, have neither the time nor inclination to pour over articles about politics and boring documents regarding Party rules for delegate allocation, etc. In the coming months, those who only watch ten minutes of news in the evening or who spend twenty minutes with the radio on during their commute or who skim the newspaper during their fifteen minute break at their soul-crushing job are going to know what I and a few other politics obsessives know - and they aren't going to like it.

Unless something radical happens very soon, the way has been paved for John McCain to be the next president.
