White House press corps political operatives at work
Some members of the White House press corps have shed any remaining vestige of impartiality. Helen Thomas interjects her opinion at Monday's breifing with Scott McClellan:
Q Is he communicating with those -- especially those who support his cause? Has he said anything --
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I think the American people recognize the importance of what we are working to accomplish in the broader Middle East. Iraq is a key part of establishing a foundation for lasting peace and security. What we're working to do is lay a foundation of peace for our children and grandchildren. And the President has made it very clear that his number one priority is the safety and security of the American people. And we are engaged in a global war. It is a war that is -- that continues. The President said after September 11th, that some would tend to forget. He will not. We are going to stay on the offensive until we win this war, and we're going to work to spread freedom and democracy to address the --
Q How many are you going to kill, in the meantime?
MR. McCLELLAN: We are saving lives. We have liberated some 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Thomas has often spoken of the insurgents in Iraq as "people who are trying to defend their country." The problem with her statement is that she expresses a belief that Iraq needs to be defended from American troops!
In another incident, Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press asked President Bush this question on Monday:
Q Thank you, Mr. President. I want to ask you about a different result of these storms, and that is the racial divide that's been exposed in this country. Blacks and whites feel very differently about what happened. We all recognize that the response to Rita was much better than the response to Katrina, but there are some strong feelings in the black community that that difference had a racial component to it, that the white, you know, rural residents got taken care of better than the black urban residents did. How do you respond to that?
She failed to mention that those impressions are being created by her biased colleagues in the media and the race-baiters in the Democratic Party, like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Howard Dean.
The President's answer was great, but no one bothered to report it. From the transcript:
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think about Houston, my old hometown of Houston, which is an incredibly diverse city. And we had what looked like a category five hurricane headed right for Houston, and the federal, state and local officials worked together to warn the citizens of the impending storm. The message wasn't sent to one group of people; it was sent to the entire city. I mean, Texas is a diverse state. The rural part of Texas you're talking about has got a significant African American component to it. But I can assure you that the response efforts, and now the recovery efforts, are aimed at -- aimed at saving everybody. And the response was directed toward everybody.
I think that what a lot of Americans saw was a -- some poverty that they had never imagined before. And we need to address that, whether it be rural or urban. And I have done that as the President. I have said that education systems that simply shuffle children through are -- can be discriminatory in nature. And, therefore, we've got to have high standards and high expectations and focus money on Title I children to teach -- so that they -- so that children can learn to read. And we're beginning to make progress.
One of the things Bush points out is that most Americans weren't aware of the extent of poverty in New Orleans. The city has been under the control of Democrats for decades, how could such problems exist in this socialist utopia?
