The Press

During a press conference with President Calderon of Mexico, President Obama has a couple of very choice quotes (bold is mine):

“The U.S. and the entire world continue to be outraged by the appalling violence against the Libyan people,” Mr. Obama said in a news conference Thursday. “Moammar Gadhafi has lost the legitimacy to lead, and he must leave.”

(uh did he ever have the legitimacy?)

The decision to use military force would be “based on what’s best for the Libyan people,” he said, with an emphasis on “minimizing harm to innocent civilians.”

(uh – and Iraq? Kurds? Marsh people?……)

And then finally a quote about “bringing the full weight of law” upon the one man arrested for the killing of the US agent in Mexico.

“We expect the full weight of the law to be brought against this perpetrator,” Obama said.

Calderon said he was not yet willing to comply. “We have to review what the law stipulates,” Calderon said, saying he wants to “reserve his opinion” on sending the alleged assailant, Julian Espinoza, to the U.S.

Part of the reason may be because Mexico does not have the death penalty, and it would want assurances from the United States that if Espinoza is tried in this country, the U.S. would not seek his death. Complicating the matter, Calderon said, is that Espinoza has already confessed.

And the press:
Mr. President, Mr. President,
If the NFL goes into lockdown, will you do anything about it??

effing idiots.
Between the lies and the bias and the morons who can’t think through a straight line it’s a sad thing that we still have to rely upon the press for news.
