That made my day. But it is sad. It is sad that Romney let her get away with it and that the GOP continue to allow themselves to be set up for an ambush disguised as a debate.

I propose a beer summit between Obama, the offended reporters, Jesse Jackson and the family of the ebola man in Houston.

The guy was swept into office on a tsunami of obfuscations — and the reporters didn’t notice?

After writing that book, I think he sleeps with the fishes.

“...journalists who cover the White House are confused about why the administration would lie and cover-up such a minor issue...”

Minor?

Well, that's debatable.

Anyway, if "O" can't be honest about SMALL THINGS, you can be sure he isn't killing himself to be truthful about other and more significant things.

The habit for lying is instinctive with this guy. I would be ashamed if like one of these 'journalists' I admitted ONLY NOW, that I was shocked by any of this. It's like saying: "Look at me! I am an idiot!"

It’s even more mind blowing that they look at this stooge like he’s some kind of a god.

All I know is if Woodward and Bernstein were still alive, the White House wouldn’t be able to get away with this stuff.

That’s what I was going to say!

suddenly changing now

ie: reporters

If news outlets want to have even a chance of regaining our trust, they'll have to fire ALL of the compromised reporters and journalists (and that's all of them) and start with objective news people. Never happen. The fourth branch of government (media) is part of the DC ruling class.

Why I keep saying Obama’s cooked. After Nov., #IRSscandal is going to blow. President Biden is in #Hildebeast’s best interest.

It’s unnerving to know reporters ---whose job it is to get to the truth---didn't know this Chicago con artist’s and his henchmen were lying in wait-—duping America to get into office. Couldn’t wait to get their filthy hands on our tax dollars to move their covert agenda.

THE KINGPINS OF CHICAGO CRIMINAL POLITICS IN OUR WH wasted no time.....they had a stranglehold on the Census (AND US Treasury) from day one.

The minute Obama/Valerie/Rahm/Axelrod/Geithner, and that diseased bunch of criminals, landed in the WH they did two things that were apparently crucial to their evil plans

(a) they took control of the US Census;

(b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (the IRS).

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

More here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124113406528875137.html

The connection between the IRS targeting and the WH's malevolent parasites at Treasury becomes clearer.

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

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD shortly after quitting his powerful WH job as Obama's COS, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had magically "raised" $10 million for his campaign in "just a matter of weeks." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down). Ya gotta wonder how much Wall Street Rahm wired offshore when Obama put him in charge of the entire US Treasury.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE--Rahm Emanuel takes over Chicago / May 16, 2011

EDITED EXCERPT .... an exciting time in the inbred world of Chicago Democratic politics.... Democratic don, Richard M. Daley ruled for 22 years, inheriting the mayoralty from his father, Mayor Richard J. Daley who held on for a generation. Now the ex-chief of staff of Chicagoan Barack Obama (once a state Senator, now president) was installed. US Treasury Secy Tim Geithner was there, and so was Chicagoan David Axelrod, an O team player.

BTW, Mayor Daley's former chief of staff, Valerie Jarrett, hired Obama's wife, Michelle, to work in Chicago City Hall. Jarret is now ensconced as Obama's chief policy advisor. In Chicago gangland parlance, "chief policy advisor" means "wire-transfer artist".

Mayor Emanuel's innovative ways commenced early on---his organization was getting $50G's for the best seats at the inauguration (mmmm........that accounts for another couple million scammed from Treasury).

The mayoralty (and its--cough--"benefits") is a job Emanuel has coveted since he was a machine go-fer back in the 1980s.....before he became Bill Clinton's national campaign finance chairman and then a dual role as senior White House aide and Goldman Sachs lobbyist and then (gasp) becoming a multi-millionaire, thanks to a measly few months at a local investment firm...then a (gag) Congressman for four terms---then White House chief of staff for Obama that helped create the 2010 Republican House landslide.

Print journalists can act shocked because their editors don’t have to tell them why they’re nixing articles, but the broadcast media knows full well the thuggery of the Obama regime, because in October of 2008 their media heads told them they couldn’t report on Obama’s eligibility problem or Muslim leanings because the regime (turns out to be David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, and George Soros) had threatened to annihilate the parent company through anti-monopoly measures with the FCC if they did. So the on-air personalities ALL know even more than you and I do about this thug regime and how it operates.

Someone who was at the meeting with the CNN (IIRC)head honchos said that everybody agreed there must be a good reason to censor these subjects because it was Obama requiring it; if it had been the “evil Bush” it would have been terrible but because it was Obama they would gladly do whatever it took.

THAT is a story that needs to become common knowledge in the American public. But it won’t because the threats included death, and journalists learned the lessons of Andrew Breitbart and Michael Hastings very well, even while they mocked anybody who would dare suggest the truth.

2008 was literally a coup, carried out largely because the conservative media was taken hostage to the same illegal agency targeting that Congress is still trying to get answers for (IRS-gate, NSA-gate, etc). And one of the first things Obama did was to illegally fire and libel any inspectors general who took their job seriously (Gerald Walpin was one out of a bunch of them; threats to the IG’s have been alleged in both SS-gate and Benghazi-gate, and in IRS-gate and EPA-gate emails have been “lost” to keep info from investigators - so by now this pattern is WELL-established); when Congress let him get away with that, he knew that the foxes were guarding the hen houses and he had license to do whatever he darn well pleased, including a license to kill Americans - knowing that the media AND the “internal investigations” would all cover up the CRIMES of him and his thug regime.

...a White House volunteer officially checked a prostitute into his hotel room in Cartagena, Colombia...

Just following the precedents set by Bill Clinton, another "White House volunteer", tho I suppose that he never "officially checked" in his bimbos any more than did JFK.

Let me see, the White Hut has its own photo office. The white hut has its own news service. The white hut reviews copy before it goes to press requesting alterations. What we have here is not a failure to communicate what is going on by a failure to have a modicum of independence.

In October of 2008 media heads told their factotums they couldn’t report on Obama’s eligibility problem, or, on his Muslim leanings because the regime (Chicago criminals David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel--and George Soros) threatened to annihilate the parent company through anti-monopoly measures using the FCC---and USAG Eric Holder--- if they did. ALL know even more than you and I do about this thug regime and how it operates.

Hillary and Bill had pics of Obama in Muslim dress
in 2008 primary, but Uncle Teddy warned them not to use them.

Kenya-resident, Malik Obama in Muslim dress, holds up

REFERENCE Federal outreach to Muslim-American communities is a pillar of Obama counter-terrorism strategy
Washington post | 5/25/2013 | ap / FR Posted by tobyhill

Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, US government officials and Muslims in Boston called each other to offer assistance. These calls were the fruits of years of cultivating such relationships in an effort to ultimately prevent the very type of attack Boston experienced April 15....

Representatives from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security called to offer support to Muslim communities......just in case THEY suffered backlash or threats. (more on FR).
