.""I don't want to know""
From today's Rush Limbaugh:
"Even after nearly two years in the spotlight, little is understood about the 47-year-old first-term senator's approach to leadership. His resume: community organizer, eight years as state legislator, and less than four as U.S. senator. As a lawmaker, he has displayed a knack for working with Republicans on a handful of favorite issues." That's a lie. "But he has devoted most of his time in the Senate to running for president. ...Personally, he's a bit of an enigma, too. ... One of the many revelers who spontaneously flocked to the White House after Obama's win [was] waving signs like, 'Why Wait? Evict Bush Now' ..." So here Jennifer Loven: He's really an enigma. We don't know who he is. We don't know much about him. He didn't do much. His resume is kind of thin
Where was this beforehand? Friday night... Wanna laugh? Friday night, Charlie Rose Show, Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose.
ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
BROKAW: No, I don't either.
ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.
BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
BROKAW: You know that's an interesting question.
ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches, two of them.
BROKAW: I don't know what books he's read.
ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.
This exchange is part of a hour long interview with Charlie rose, you can see it here in it entirety. I found it fascinating, but maybe you guys wont.

It is stunning though to hear Brokaw and Rose say they don't know anything about the then candidate Obama. It's almost malpractice Journalist malpractice. If not for Rose, no one else would have even dared to ask the question. And to see Brokaw respond with "I don't know" sends a chill down your spin, And not the fun kind either. You don't know? The man is days from being handed the "button", and you "don't know" anything about his world view? Maybe a better answer would have been, ""I don't want to know"".

They would bother me greatly except I just spent the last months yelling the same thing at the TV and Radio on a daily basis. What recommended him to be elevated to 'President of the World'? He seems cool, has a very critical view of America and capitalism, and is a dark enough to make us all feel forgiven. It seems like a Twilight Zone episode to me. Or one of those evangelical Christian End Time movies. I want him checked for odd shaped birthmarks.
Hey another thing we have in common. Apparently we both yell at the radio.
I do that all the time. It tends to scare people that don't know me well, if they happen to walk in while I'm arguing back at Rush...
Back on topic. We are just regular joes, it's all right if we don't know something. But Obama has been campaigning for president for the last two years. It's frightening that these two major media big wigs don't know some basic facts about the candidate they have help put in the White House. Brokaw actual had the chance to ask questions during his debate. I mean I would turn in my resignation if I was asked to run a debate, and not ask the questions about the subjects I did not know the answers to.
