Care To Guess How Charlie Gibson Treated Barry Insane In His First Interview?
As you no doubt know by now, Charlie Gibson did the MSM version of waterboarding on Sarah Palin and she didn’t blink.
What a freakin’ bunch of shit these Mainstream Media pukes are. Of course, you already knew that, but check out how Charlie Gibson “Grilled” Barry Insane Obama for his first interview after announcing his candidacy for President.
This from Rich Noyes at Newsbusters:
Nearly two years ago, when the inexperienced presidential candidate Barack Obama sat for his first interview with Charles Gibson, the ABC anchor did not try and expose any gaps in Obama’s foreign policy knowledge or press him about his readiness for the job he was seeking. Instead Gibson emphasized Obama’s personal story, about how his parents met, how Obama met his wife, etc.
Here’s the exchange from the November 1, 2007 World News interview:
CHARLES GIBSON: Next, the presidential race and our attempt to explore the private side of the candidates, to learn about the events and the influences that have shaped them and brought them to this point in their political careers. So today in our “Who Is?” series, a Democrat relatively new to national politics, Senator Barack Obama.
SENATOR BARACK OBAMA: Every man is either trying to live up to his father’s expectations or make up for his father’s mistakes. And, you know, in some ways, I’m probably doing both.
GIBSON: Your mom comes from the Pacific Northwest, migrates to Hawaii, goes to college there, right away, meets a dashing young Kenyan, gets pregnant and the result-
OBAMA: That’s me.
GIBSON: That’s you. (Voiceover) His father got a fellowship to study on the mainland and never came back.
OBAMA: He became sort of a mythic figure. One, one of the great gifts that my mother gave to me was a positive impression of my father despite the fact that he didn’t always behave very well towards her or to his family. And so he was gone by the time I was two.
GIBSON: Obama’s mother would remarry and take her son to Indonesia for five years. Only once again did he ever see his father, that, when Obama was 10. (to Obama) He didn’t care enough to stay.
OBAMA: Right.
GIBSON: How did you internalize that?
OBAMA: My conclusion is that some of my drive comes from wanting to prove that he should have stuck around, that, that I was worthy of his attentions. There’s no doubt that his absence had an impact on me. I engaged in a bunch of self-destructive behavior. I drank. I, you know, tried drugs. I didn’t take my schoolwork seriously.
GIBSON: It all changed for Obama in his final college years. (to Obama) What flipped?
OBAMA: I like to think that, that at some point, the, the better angels of my nature took control and that I had some sense deep inside me that, you know, I could, I could make a contribution.
GIBSON: For five years out of college, he worked to pay off student loans and was a community organizer in Chicago, which led him back to school, Harvard Law School, and on a summer job, met this young woman. (to Obama) Did you know right away?
OBAMA: I knew I liked her right away. Michelle has this wonderful sense of humor. And I knew that right away, she would get the joke. She knew how I looked at the world and appreciated it.
GIBSON: They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha. At first, Obama was intimidated by the Harvard law students.
OBAMA: You got a sense, these folks are running on nuclear energy and I’m running on, on steam.
GIBSON: But he found he could more than hold his own, finishing first in his class and being editor of the ‘Harvard Law Review.” He’s candid: it was at Harvard he first thought of running for President.
OBAMA: I thought these will be the people who will be leading at some point. And, you know, I feel comfortable within this group, being able to lead.
GIBSON: So did you think to yourself, ‘Barack, what kind of hubris is this that I am thinking about being President?”
OBAMA: Yes. I think if you don’t have enough self-awareness to see the element of megalomania involved in thinking you can be president, then you probably shouldn’t be president. I think there’s a slight madness to thinking that you should be the leader of the free world.
GIBSON: You have written, “I learned to slip back and forth between my black and my white worlds.” The simple question I guess is in which world do you really belong?
OBAMA: I think it’s both. What’s interesting is, is how deeply American I feel, considering this exotic background, that, somehow, all this, this amalgam is part of who I am. And that’s part of the reason I love this country so much.
GIBSON: And you can see extended versions of our “Who Is?” series, which will ultimately include all the presidential candidates, at ABCNEWS.com.
What a crock of shit.

If it weren’t for double standards the MSM wouldn’t have any.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:10 pmWow I can’t tell the difference.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:12 pmOk enough sarcasm. I guess this is what you get from the “balanced” media. I mean there’s no political bias there at all is there?
In Gibson’s defense.. it’s hard to be confrontational when your having sex.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:19 pmThe dem’s hatchet-man Gibson failed at the task he was assigned, because he tried to “Dan Quayle” Sarah by making her say something like “potatoe” and he failed miserably.
I saw Alan Colmes on “Hannity and Colmes” try and make Sarah an object of ridicule by saying Gibson had to prompt her on what the “Bush Doctrine” was, but he too looked ridiculous.
Even the BBC said that Palin did very well in the interview and had no gaffes. Coming from the mouths of serpents like the BBC, that’s quite a complement.

Women are treated like shit and everytime a women goes for some powerful job it shows.
September 12th, 2008 at 2:32 pm“My father became a mythic figure”.Back home we call em PIECES OF SHIT.Like father like son
September 12th, 2008 at 3:54 pmI confess, I didn’t read the whole thing. It was bad enough, for while, then it got to that Gibson question (?) about graduating first in his class and being the Editor of the Harvard Law Review. That is such blatant bullshit, I couldn’t take anymore.
Obama graduated HLS Magna Cum Laude, which means B+ or around 3.6 GPA (could be above that, but well below Summa Cum Laude, the perfect GPA students). He wasn’t even in the top of his class, musch less the first. Editor of the Law Review? Obama was the President of the Law Review, a political office, and never wrote a single signed piece in the Law Review. He sure as Hell wasn’t The Editor of the Harvard Law Review.
What a pathetic joke; Joe Biden must be writing Gibson’s copy.
September 12th, 2008 at 5:14 pm“Nearly two years ago,”
“Here’s the exchange from the November 1, 2007 World News interview:”
Uh, that was less than a year ago. What’s up Bash?
September 12th, 2008 at 8:19 pmThere is more testosterone in Palin’s petite body than in Obambi’s and Biden’s combined. Gibson is a pussy.
September 12th, 2008 at 9:18 pm“Slip between two worlds” is only for the cameras. One of my former tenants had a fellow journalism major who worked on the Obama campaign and resigned because behind the scenes Obama was 100% ghetto.
