Glenn Beck said on his radio program Monday that if the media focused on what the Obama administration said about Russia over and over again during the 2012 presidential election, the presidents poll numbers would plummet.
You want the presidents ratings to be [where they] should be, in the 20s? Beck asked. All you have to do is tell the truth. All you have to do is play the audio of how wrong this man is.
Beck continued: The mainstream media just doesnt care. As long as you win the moment, it doesnt matter what you said in the past. You can be proven absolutely wrong but they have amnesia.
Beck said that after Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called Russia Americas number one geopolitical foe in March 2012, he was eviscerated by the administration and members of the media, though recent events in Ukraine would indicate he wasnt far off in his analysis.
Obama mentioned Romneys comment numerous times, and said at the Democratic National Convention: You dont call Russia our number one enemy not Al Qaeda, Russia unless youre still stuck in a Cold War mind-warp.
Secretary of State John Kerry, then a U.S. senator, echoed at the time: Mitt Romney talks like hes only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV.
Beck expressed disgust over how Obama changed Romneys words from geopolitical foe to enemy, before launching into a fiery tirade.
The problem is, the media wont report the truth, Beck remarked. The truth is, the last people you should be listening to on the Ukraine is this administration. They didnt see it coming. They had no idea. They were mocking that Putin might be a bad guy.

Tell me, his poll numbers are in negative territory and watch me yawn.
How did the founding fathers feel about poll numbers? What does the Constitution say about poll numbers?
Really, think about it. What freaking difference does it make what his poll numbers are if he's President of the United States,
Commander-in-Chief, Dictator of his Own private enclave, with no one to answer to, nothing to stop him, remains the proverbial
bull in the china shop, running amok, a raging bulldozer with a vacant driver's seat with about three years left to go??
Frankly, Mr. Beck, I am unimpressed with your seemingly shocking news. Poll numbers to the 20s has me turning over in my PJ's.
We should be finding video of what Hillary was saying about Eastern Europe.
>> The problem is, the media wont report the truth, Beck remarked.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Considering Obama gets 30-40% for just showing up, poll numbers in the twenties would be news, indeed.
This great nation is confronted by three enemies:
1. Radical Islamists abroad.
2. Radical leftists at home.
3. The Mainstream Media.
And, of these three, the most dangerous is, indeed, the MSM. Because, without the support of the MSM, the other two enemies would've been defeated a decade-or-more ago.
I know. They keep playing into Bo’s hand, treating him like he’s running for office. If his poll numbers go to 4 who’s going to do anything about it? Congress’ poll numbers are like 9. Who fixes that?
Boner is still running things, handing BO the keys
I like beck but he’s like the boys in seventh grade. Just not serious.
Every place her vaunted soft diplomacy was tried, it failed miserably.
Libya - Yes Ghadaffi was killed (we came, we saw, he died), but so was Ambassador Stevens.
Egypt - Yes Murabek was removed, but so was the Muslim Brotherhood.
Syria - Yes the civil war has raged, but Assad is still in power.
Ukraine - Yes we kicked out the Russian stooge, but we lost Crimea.
Fairly clear that soft power only gets you short term gains that have no staying power.
Think I will still call her Hillary the Great though. She still has a few years left.

>> Because, without the support of the MSM, the other two enemies would’ve been defeated a decade-or-more ago.
Exactly.
That's a very nice way of putting things.
It describes the behavior of liberals and the MSM. Say anything to win the moment, and then move on as if it never happened.
As Ann Coulter once said, "The beauty of being a liberal is that history always begins this morning."
-PJ
the ones that still support him now, will never leave
I will never forgive any of the ones who voted him in
Hey, maybe he's not. Maybe he's just resisting the forces of Kaos, know what I mean?
“Glenn Beck said on his radio program Monday that if the media focused....”
But that is exactly the point - the “media”, so-called, have become nothing but an Obama lap dog; they’ve voluntarily become Obama’s castrati and the unofficial Obama Ministry of Propaganda.
Media?
America no longer HAS any media.
How about Hillary of great girth?
It may be news but like I said nothing will change.
The MSM and the Democrat Party are domestic enemies, and should be recognized as such.
Who is "serious"? Beck has uncovered more about Obama and his henchwomen than the rest put together.
