Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose, awakening from their sleep

Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose, awakening from their sleep, begin to realize that they don’t really know much about Barack Obama. Most likely they voted early too, like the millions of followers have been encouraged to do … to vote early before the spell wears off and you realize what you’re about to participate in … the election of an American dictator, in our time! Journalists who are clueless, but hey, they’re still allowed access to the plane I bet. From the Rush Limbaugh show.

“RUSH: Now, on Charlie Rose Show last night on PBS. Are they doing their pledge drive yet? Is PBS doing their drive? Because, you know, “Without your Pledge, we cannot dust.” He had on Tom Brokaw last night, ladies and gentlemen. Here’s a montage. Now, this is last night. As you listen to this, keep in mind everything you’ve heard from Brokaw and others in the Drive-Bys can for the past six months, three months, two months or whatever. This is a montage of Charlie Rose and Brokaw trying to figure out who Obama is.

ROSE: I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don’t, either.

ROSE: I don’t know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don’t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: Yeah, it’s an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.

BROKAW: Two of them! I don’t know what books he’s read.

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

BROKAW: There’s a lot about him we don’t know.”

Brokaw & Rose: Who Is Obama?

    Brokaw could have asked him directly when moderating the debate.
