Obama made his big speech last night and the BBC do their best to put the best spin of it today. Mark Mardell salivates over him here. Love the way Mardell allows Obama to run with the pretence that he is “only now” turning his gaze to sorting out the US economy. How about an objective analysis of Obama’s record on economic revival from the BBC?

Anyone catch Mark Mardell’s take on Obama’s latest u-turn on the building of a Mosque at Ground Zero? Note how Mardell lashes “the right” whilst claiming that Obama is “middle of the road”. Also, for good measure, Mardell conjures up images of Islamphobia to make us feel sorry for America’s beseiged Muslims. Is Marky getting a little upset that “The One” is looking more and more like a one term President? Surely not?

BBC doing all it can to present the floundering of Obama as Presidential. Yesterday Obama sought to compare the Gulf Oil Spill with 9/11 (BBC seems to think that was a natural point of comparison) and today he now seeks to use this eco-disaster to advance his green agenda. What is it the Dems say – you should never miss the opportunity a good crisis provides? Rather than ask challenging questions about how the Obama team have handled this issue, and indeed what the Obama team has been doing since coming to power on this issue, the BBC instead continues to make doe-eyes at President Narcissus who is finding out that just because he SAYS something it doesn’t automatically then happen! I also notice the BBC ignores Obama’s plunging approval ratings. As I recall, the BBC was very quick to let us know how unpopular Bush was bit now the poor ratings attach to their hero things have to alter. One rule for a Democrat President, another for a Republican President. I contrast the tolerance of Obama’s fumblings with the constant rage directed against Bush by way of evidence.  

Have a read of this slavishly pro-Obama wittering from Mark Mardell on the subject of Obamacare. It appears that despite appearances Obama had no real plan for health-care. Now he does and doesn’t Mark sounds excited?

Poor BBC. I listened with bated breath to their coverage of the stunning defeat for Obama’s Democrats in the heartland seat of Massachusetts. I mean, how would they spin this one? Well, strategy seems to be so far today to not talk about it too much, to then suggest it is Obama’s first real defeat since he ascended to power (So whitwashing the stunning defeats he suffered back in the Gubernatorial races last November) and finally to Blame Bush – after all, poor old Obama is getting the kickback from voters because he hasn’t solved the economic crisis, yet. A wonderful day to hear the BBC in denial of the obvious fact that it is Obama’s radicalism – the thing they drool over – that is handing victory after victory to the GOP.

Have you read Mark Mardell’s item on the fierce battle taking place in the USA for the senate seat left vacant by the death of Ted Kennedy? Mark seems quietly confident that the Dem’s will win this which strikes me as a bit odd since most other commentators are suggesting that Scott Brown is ahead in the polls and that Obama has been forced to do all he can to keep this iconic seat in the control of the Dems. Should the GOP win, it will be a terrible low for the BBC, as Obama’s unpopularity will become all too visceral. His radical leftism may excite the BBC but evidently a significant section of the electorate thinks otherwise. How could this be – when the God-King is but within his first year? Mardell and the rest of the pro-Dem sycophants at the BBC better get used to this pattern of losing Dems – roll on the mid-terms.
