I’m not talking about conservative publications either, but outlets that normally would allow Barack Obama and his team the benefit of the doubt. Bloomberg starts us off with a straight report on the changing explanations:

Although the lsm wants to prove 0bama right, there may come a time when their career goals overcome their bias. Unlikely, but if they think that they won't suffer for it, the tempations of Pulitzers and promotions may guide their reporting.

I wonder if any of the “news” outlets notice how much it is ACTUAL NEWS that they are beginning to notice

[Iron Munro]

The federal government must have a building the size of the Pentagon full of Winston Smiths, slaving away night and day to alter the historical record every time President Goofball Obama opens his mouth.

The belatedly-alert media must NOW ask the questions they should have asked THEN---when Ohaha first surfaced as a candidate.

NUMBER ONE Who is this guy in the White House?

Remember that O's 2008 PR person----Anita "Mao" Dunn---said AFTER the election that the O Team "allowed" the media to know only what THEY wanted them to know.

Ohaha was tightly scripted saying only cute things that would get him elected----revealing none of his anti-America hatred. The Chi/mob Dunn/Axelrod/Enmanuel/Jarrett allowed NO probing questions and up-close interviews.

FOCUS-GROUP TESTED RESPONSES Ohaha was coached......genially saying on the campaign trail that he wanted to be "another Reagan." Hillary and Bill had ominous pics of Obama in Muslim garb--but Teddy Kennedy warned them not to use them.

==========================================

THIS WE KNOW The Obamanations are a tight-knit clique of socialists/communists/unions/progs/liberals----they see themselves as superior---bound together by "enlightened" values — reason, tolerance, diversity and equality. The rest of us are unworthy and are to be suppressed and marginalized.......using any means possible.

The Ohaha savages duped the citizenry, led us over a multi-trillion dollar deficit cliff, into massive corrupt bailouts, and atrocities like amnesty and Obamacare. Their motto: "Everything For Us-- Nothing For You."

In the wake of Benghazi, the IRS abuses, etc, we are reminded that the Obamanoids are ruthless predators w/ no empathy for others and no remorse; anti-social psychopaths who recognize no moral boundaries--aggressively going after what they want, irregardless of the consequences to others.

I wonder if any of the news organizations realize that many of us have to go OUTSIDE this country to find any reliable news.
Little wonder why so many lamestream media are going broke.
If I want to hear what the White Hut official line of spin is today ,
I would go to MSNBC / but I don’t go there !
I have international , British , Isreali, Canadian , and Conservative sources that have credibility !

NAMED FOR DEAR OLD DAD The tax-exempt “charity” run by President Barack Obama’s half-brother that was fast-tracked for IRS tax-exempt status is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

The Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama. As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.”

Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers. … We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee and registered Republican who helped start the foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of this reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated phone calls to the Barack H. Foundation went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

The only thing “shifting” is accountability. Cheif Executive blaming underlings for all his criminal activity.

Well said, and very true.
