Top Five "C'mon, Man" Awards for 2016 by Bill Wilson
There were a lot of statements made and deeds done in 2016 that are deserving of a slap on the forehead followed by the words "C'mon Man, really?"
As the year draws to a close, I want to just step outside my regular format of analytics and provide you what I think are some of the most foolish statements and actions that characterized 2016.
You may agree or not, but they should serve as a reminder of what not to do and how common sense is lacking within our contemporary society.
These are things we may want to forget, but for wisdom's sake, should be remembered. So as we count down to the new year, here are my "C'mon Man, Really?" Top Five Awards:
Number 5: After spending 9 months drawing polling samples purposely skewed by at least 12 points in favor of Democrats, reporting that Hillary Clinton would win the election hands down, and ignoring the thousands showing up in favor of Donald Trump when only dozens were attending Clinton campaign rallies, the news media blamed "fake news" and the Russians for trying to mislead the American people.
C'mon man, Really?
Number 4: The CIA, Hillary Clinton and the Barack Obama conspired to say that Russia hacked Democratic National Committee and Clinton's unsecured home closet email servers to influence the election. It was the classic "look, there's a squirrel" attempt to divert public attention from the unethical and possibly illegal content of the emails themselves.
C'mon man, Really?
Number 3: Barack Obama repeatedly said that he was a friend to Israel. That's why he made Israel's Prime Minister exit the White House where the trash was thrown after making him wait hours for a meeting. But even more recently, he directed the US to abstain in a UN vote condemning Israel after President-Elect Trump got Egypt and others to change their minds. The US move sent ripples throughout the Middle East. Friend to Israel, yet supporting Israel's enemies?
C'mon man, Really?
Number 2: In the third Presidential Debate, Donald Trump said he would keep people in suspense about accepting the results of the election if he lost. Hillary Clinton immediately went into "aghast" mode and said this would be horrible and damaging to America's democracy. Then she bankrolled the Green Party's challenge of election results; her campaign chairman refused to say the election was fair and accurate; and Clinton tried to undermine the election results after she lost.
C'mon man, Really?
Number 1: The occupant of the Oval Office gave an interview to a former staffer now working for CNN (go figure) and talked trash about the election. He said if he had a third term, Americans would have elected him based on his vision which has worked for the nation. Obama obviously doesn't get it that Hillary Clinton ran on his platform and Americans overwhelmingly rejected it.
C'mon man, Really?
Jesus said in John 8:32, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." And that's how I really see the lies and how they were reported as truth in 2016.
May your 2017 be blessed!
