CBS 'Early Show' Gushes Over Obama Date Night In Paris

On Monday, correspondent Richard Roth gave a glowing report on President and Michelle Obama in Paris: “The big tourist treat in Paris this weekend was for the tourists treated to a sight of the Obamas driving by. For the President and First Lady, the treat may have been a European reprise of their date night in New York a week ago.”

Really? That's what qualifies as gushing these days?

That has nothing on this. Or this. Or this.

It's getting to the point that if a media figure mentions Barack Obama without accusing him of being a secret Muslim who can't produce his birth certificate and is dragging America towards socialism, some right-wing clown claims the report “gushed” over Obama.

Gushing is when Chris Matthews and Gordon Liddy ramble on about how the president's “manly characteristic” looks in a parachute harness and how he “looks great in a military uniform. He looks great in that cowboy costume he wears.” That's gushing.

This Early Show report that has Drennen so worked up? That's nothing.
