Eric Zorn, your hypocrisy is showing!
Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn is complaining today that the Obama haters aren't going away since the election is over. Guess what Eric, they ain't going anywhere.
Since the Bush haters haven't let up a second since 2000, why would Obama be free from those that oppose him? I say bring it on! No politician should be protected by the press like Obama is today.
I know that the media doesn't think that criticizing Obama is something we should do. Here in the real world, it is something that we will have to do a lot of for the next four years. We will have to, because people like Eric Zorn will not. Many have grave concerns for what Obama is going to do. For very good reasons.
Its because he has very little of a track record. It doesn't help that what is known about him isn't very good. A good sense of style and image matter very little to the job of president. Thats about all he has.
Yes, the people Zorn writes about are not going to prevail. But HE is the one that are pointing these people out. He never bothered to point out the real wacko's that have even less to stand on when they complain about things about President Bush, that aren't even true.
I would point this out to Eric Zorn on his blog, but he isn't taking comments on this post! I wonder why? Not really.
On another note, is it just me, or is the quality (of the writing and editing) of the Trib just not as good as it once was?
