Integrity - Where has it gone?


Integrity - it seems to be losing ground in the media even faster than I ever imagined.

Take the issue of whether Barack Hussein Obama bowed to Dictator Abdullah of Saudi Arabia [you can see the video below in a previous blog entry].

Look at it closely. Look for several things:

First, when Barack Hussein Obama started bowing to shake hands, how many hands did he extend to grasp that of Dictator Abdullah?

Second, as Barack Hussein Obama is bowing, can you see his LEFT hand? Where is it located?

Third, at what point did Barack Hussein Obama use two hands to grasp Dictator Abdullah's hand?

Fourth, was Dictator Abdullah standing or sitting throughout this exchange?

Fifth, notice the style of Barack Hussein Obama's bow: one leg back, the other slightly bent at the knee.

These points are relevant because it brings up an integrity issue. Now, I realize there are many reporters with many different perspectives on issues. I got that. But what I am concerned about is something I heard on a FOX show.

See video of the show here: Fox News: Picture Imperfect

Now listen to Kristen Powers' comments. She is a Democratic strategist and frequent contributor on FOX News. Two things stand out.

One, she specifically states that Barack Hussein Obama is NOT bowing.

Two, she goes even further, later in the show, and unequivocally states that Dictator Abdullah is sitting!

So, I ask you: Where is Ms Powers' integrity? Did she see a totally different video of the interaction between Barack Hussein Obama and Dictator Abdullah? If she did, I would like to view that one.

However, if she watched the same video included in the FOX show, how can she make those two statements? Is maintaining the party line now more important than integrity?

By her comments, it must be.

Note: 44 Days and I still haven't heard back from my Congressional representatives.
