The Press Continues to Vet Michele Bachmann to Make Up for Not Vetting Obama

Just a couple weeks before the election of Barack Obama, we had to listen to Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose talk about how the media failed to vet Barack Obama.



When it came to Barack Obama's drug use, it went ignored.



And yet, just a few short weeks after Michele Bachmann announces she is a presidential candidate, we are now hearing the rumblings of a prescription pill problem. The apparent problem comes from migraines, which I frequently suffer myself. Their described with a familiarity that I well understand.

That's the first vetting controversy. Migraines make it miserable to function; therefore, they are already asking how will she cope with the stress of the job. Listen, you can cope and do your job, you just won't have as much time dedicated to the golf course like the current occupier in the White House.

After the migraine issue comes up, there are reports that she abuses prescription pills. Now stories of Obama's cocaine use went ignored in 2008, but within just a few weeks on the campaign trail, the prescription drugs are catching the media's eye. How hypocritical!

From the Daily Caller:

Of particular concern to some around her is the significant amount of medication Bachmann takes to address her condition.

The former aide says Bachmann’s congressional staff is “constantly” in contact with her doctors to tweak the types and amounts of medicine she is taking. Marcus Bachmann helps her manage the episodes.

Sources who spoke to The Daily Caller said they did so because they are terrified about the impact the condition could have on Bachmann’s performance if she actually became president. They also worry that the issue could blow up in the general election campaign, giving President Obama an easy path to re-election.


The media should never be forgiven for their 2008 performance, and the hypocrisy already taking place in 2011 for the 2012 elections I would like to claim is beyond belief, but I know deep down inside, this was coming.
