Thomas Sowell reveals the double standard of the MSM – attacking Ben Carson for little things, while saying nothing about the destructive things that Pres Obama is doing domestically and abroad.
“What has been far more disturbing than anything Ben Carson has said or done has been the media’s search-and-destroy mission against the renowned brain surgeon. The utter irrelevance of the issues raised by the media, at a time when the country faces monumental challenges at home and overseas, makes the media hype grotesque. It tells us more about the media than about Dr. Carson.
By contrast, the media showed no such zeal to expose Barack Obama’s associations and alliances with a whole series of people who expressed their hatred of America in words and/or deeds. Here was something relevant to his suitability to become president. But the media saw no evil, heard no evil and spoke no evil.
Nor have the media launched such attacks on President Obama as they have on candidate Carson, even after Obama proceeded to abandon existing American commitments to provide defensive aid to countries in Eastern Europe and to directly promote the destruction of governments in Egypt and Libya that posed no threat to American interests — all the while undermining Israel’s ability to defend itself.
Meanwhile he cut back on our own military defense so drastically that even former Secretaries of Defense who had served during his administration have publicly criticized his policies. So have former top generals and former top intelligence officials.
But the media largely circled the wagons to protect Obama — and now to protect Secretary of State Clinton, who carried out the foreign policies that left America’s position in virtually all regions of the world worse than when the Obama administration took office.”
Two out of three Americans think that we are on the wrong track. The GOP needs to act on this reality, not only by repeatingly bringing up the debacle that is the Obama Presidency, but providing positive solutions for the future.
And that Rubio!

He ran up a credit card debt.

What does it make Whitewater look like?
In college, he threw away a glass bottle in a paper products only receptacle.
In third grade, he got passing a not in class and had not used a number two pencil.
As a child, he was known to once in a while, color outside the lines.
In high school, he said no to drugs. Some are concerned this will make him unable to compromise in Washington.
The first time he went golfing, he did not replace the divot.
Once, he was caught entering a store through the exit.
During residency, he once offended a cupcake by calling it a muffin.
He put an x in the box when the instructions said to check the box.
In the Fall of ’62, he checked out a library book and returned it two days late.
In the 6th grade, somebody sneezed and he took a little too long to say, God bless you.
He had the audacity to cause a little Maryland girl to sign his name on a big piece of poster board at a Midwestern girl’s homeschool graduation party in September 2015, making it look like he was in attendance, when in fact he was not.

The MSM is promoting Carson.
But they don’t know it.
They went out to expose him and dig up a career ending story.
And this is all they could find?
