Coverage of Obama negative

Over the past three-plus years, it has been very difficult to see, read or hear a positive story regarding our president on any of the news networks or in print. Even when the news starts out good, it’s turned into a negative issue at the end.

I am sure if the employment picture stays bright, we will start hearing something else to criticize our president about. He was not the one that caused most of this country’s major problems. I don’t recall that many negative news articles during the previous eight years, and most stories of that president were on the front page, or at least closer to the front page.

The current president only gets a story on the front page if he’s in a fight with the House leader or Senate leader over a bill they are against.

I believe most people know when the president makes a speech reporters take dozens of photos, yet the only ones that turn up in our paper are not very flattering. In the Jan. 8 Sunday Spokesman Travel section, a photo of our president smiling in wax. I guess it’s difficult taking a bad photo of a wax figure of our president.
