Britain Shakes its Head at the US

[smockers83]

Wanda Sykes was at a State dinner and, as a comedian should do, made jokes. But many present are saying she crossed the line, continuing the bickering between conservatives and liberals about Rush Limbaugh. Obama seemed to enjoy it. A British reporter was at the dinner as well and his comments were:

An editor with Britain's Daily Telegraph who was at the dinner wrote that liberals will give Sykes a pass, since her target was a right-wing talk show host. And he marveled at Obama's response.

"That's way, way beyond reasoned debate or comedy and Obama's reaction to it was astonishing," wrote Toby Harnden. "Imagine if a comedian 'joked' that Obama was a terrorlst who was guilty of treason and should be tortured and allowed to die. There would justifiably be an outcry."http://www.foxnews.com/politic...otism/

More of the left-leaning liberal media and the double standard that is currently in place.

When i have to go to a foreign news source to get objective reporting something's wrong. I want to say I am shocked by Sykes' jokes and Barry's giggles but I'm not. Funny that a lady who used to work at the CIA is so high and mighty.
