I constantly find myself amazed at what the American public (and the free press) consider to be newsworthy. And it continues today... Last night, the President of the United States spoke concerning his effective implementation of the start of the promised troop withdrawal from Iraq and the Iraqi government announced the end of the US's direct involvement with the conflict in Iraq. Regardless of party affiliation, this is good news right? No more American men and women losing their lives over a civil war (read: we can't stop it) = good news.
So naturally, what is the top political headline/round-table topic on the news this morning? That's right, you guessed it: the Obamas are redecorating the Oval Office. And what's worse! They picked couches that don't match the wallpaper! Do I even need to say 'Impeach'?
Can we please stop trying to make the top political figure in our country (some would venture to say the World) into a TMZ-worthy celebrity? Thanks U.S. media, I appreciate it.
