In 1997 the Atlanta Braves were involved in a playoff with the Florida Marlins.  The pitcher for the Marlins was Livan Hernandez.  The home plate umpire was Eric Gregg.  It became obvious that Livan Hernandez could throw the ball six inches outside and Gregg would still call it a strike.  Hernandez struck out 15 batters.  Attached is a video where you can see this for yourself:

History shows us that this may not have been favoritism by Gregg.  He was also the home plate umpire during other games when other pitchers got near miraculous results. But regardless of the reason, the results were devastating for the Atlanta Braves.

The main stream media gave Barack Obama much more than the benefit of the doubt.  They pulled an “Eric Gregg.“ Anyone who dared challenge Barack Obama about anything was charged with racism.  Bill Clinton knew that Obama wasn’t remotely qualified to be President.  But when he told the truth and said this was a “joke” the main stream media screamed racism.  Clinton never dared question Obama’s qualifications again.

Eric Greg may have given Livan Hernandez a really wide strike zone, but he didn’t make Livan Hernandez a better pitcher.  When Hernandez had to throw the ball over the plate like every other pitcher, he got results similar to other pitchers.  The main stream media may have given Obama a free ride, but they didn’t make him qualified to be President.  This would actually be funny, if it were a script for a silly Hollywood movie.  But this is no movie.  This man is now the President of the United States, things are spiraling out of control and no one thinks Obama is up to the job.

It started with all the lies.  Anyone who was paying attention knew these were lies, but the main stream media couldn’t bring themselves to believe that.  Obama lied about everything.  He lied about William Ayers.  He lied about Reverend Wright.  He lied about his father.  He even lied about his own mother’s health insurance.  A five minute investigation would have destroyed his credibility on a number of subjects.  But there was no investigation.  Obama could say anything, no matter how absurd and it was called a strike.

Now the main stream media is shocked to discover that Obama lies about everything.  That is what shocks them so much about this latest Secret Service scandal.  Obama didn’t even need to lie about this.  But this administration is so used to lying that it never considered just telling the truth.

The main stream media no longer believes this President or anyone in his administration.  The question is:  “why did you ever believe him?”
