Obama Says Fox News Is Hurting The Growth Of The United States

President Obama has attacked Fox News in an interview with Rolling Stone, questioning the impact of the channel on the long term health of the U.S. economy.
From the Rolling Stone Interview (via MSNBC, emphasis ours):
I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful.
President Obama also criticized the "glass as half-empty" views of many Democrats (emphasis ours):
It's like, "Well, gosh, we've got this historic health care legislation that we've been trying to get for 100 years, but it didn't have every bell and whistle that we wanted right now, so let's focus on what we didn't get instead of what we got." That self-critical element of the progressive mind is probably a healthy thing, but it can also be debilitating.
And President Obama also attacked those in the hedge fund industry, complaining about the Carried Interest tax (emphasis ours):
I know a lot of these guys who started hedge funds. They are making large profits, taking home large incomes, but because of a rule called "carried interest," they are paying lower tax rates than their secretaries, or the janitor that cleans up the building. Or folks who are out there as police

Blah blah blah. Only liberal leftism can save us. Just trust us. Blah blah blah...
Nope! Now it’s “Rupie did it!”
Doesn’t he just remind you of that weasel tattletale kid in sixth grade?
We, the people, say Obama is hurting the growth of the United States.
Fox’s fault.
I hate you Berry !
Sure sign the guy is a Commie — wants to shut down any opposition to the Red takeover of America.
What a maroon.
And anyone listens to the Dung-Beetle-in-Chief?
Who gives an Obama? (self-pat on my back for the wonderful double meaning.....)
Obama America is failing BECAUSE of you abd your ilk not because of some outside force. Is this the dumest thing you have ever heard or what? *eyeroll*

*We* haven’t been trying to get it for 100 years. Liberal / progressive / communist statists have. It’s like he thinks everyone agrees with him and only Fox news is stirring the pot. His narcissism is astounding.
This guy is a demon constantly looking for someone to blame and/or demonize to his own end. November 2nd cannot come soon enough.
The Marxist POS thinks only spending will grow the US.
Not only the biggest cry baby POTUS but also, very dangerous to the health of free speech and press.
Maybe he means its hurting the growth of the Federal Government of the United States. That would be the same thing to Pres. Obama...
It’s the little things like this that give Obama away, that shows the huge narcissistic ego that will brook no opposition. The big things are too well scripted and manufactured — the small things show reality.
***destructive for the long-term growth of a country***
No possessive noun???? No MY country or OUR country???
He should have just said ‘robust debate has always been a part of OUR tradition...I may disagree....but it’s a healthy debate’
He is such a baby (a Marxist, but a baby).
What a tra la la BOOB de yay
If you want to see what’s destructive for the long-term growth of the country, look in a mirror, sir.
