Obama Goes After The Media Over Its False Equivalence
In his speech in Philadelphia today, Obama also went after the media in a big way. Admitting he was venting a little, he said, “You want to debate transparency. You have one candidate in this debate whose released decades’ worth of her tax returns. The other candidate is the first in decades who refuses to release any at all. You want to debate foundations and charities? One candidate’s family foundation has saved countless lives around the world. The other candidate’s foundation took money other people gave to his charity and then bought a six-foot tall painting of himself…One candidate who’s traveled to more countries than any secretary of state ever has, has more qualifications than pretty much anyone who’s ever run for this job and the other who isn’t fit in any way, shape, or form to represent this country abroad and be its commander-in-chief.” As usual, Obama makes the case in as clear and concise way as you possible can.
