Im finding it ironically delicious that the thing he was most attacked on (not being a 'military' president) is showing to be an area where the most progress has been made,,,,
Doesn't it seem funny to you that all this progress has been made and elections are right around the corner? Things that make you go..............hmmmmmm....I think Best is right, time to shed those rose colored glasses and see things for what they really are. Tactics.

It would seem funny if I were younger perhaps. But I notice the trend in media to highlight these types of things more at the end of a term than they do throughout the term(think back to certain hostage negotiations, or the knocking down of a wall,,etc,, all as presidents terms were ending).

I dont believe this is all he has done newsworthy or progressive, but I believe it gets much more PRESS because of the time of year.

Media representation is often a bit out of proportion to reality.

What does age have to do with it? I was being sarcastic, besides you're no older than me. So you agree that the "media machine" is biased?
