How can this be with Facebook manipulating the content that subscribers see, suppressing negative news items?

Previously, he’s whined many times about democracy being messy. Now it’s the entire world.

Obama: “Just because everything is really bad, does not mean that everything is really bad. Ignore the really bad stuff, and the really bad stuff that won’t go away will go away. These are not the droids you are looking for (waves hand). The really bad stuff is not really bad stuff, and just because it’s happening to you does not mean it’s happening to you.”

Since when is the “nightly news” the new “social media?”

Nightly news has existed for 70 years, Obama dumb ass! Any idiot can see the world IS ablaze thanks to your stupid policies, you tin-eared moron.

In a sense he is correct...

Lots and lots of social media news is instantaneously...some is complete crap and some is important..but it is what it is...

Maybe Obama should put his big boys pants on and deal with the worlds problems like an adult...instead of crying the dog ate my homework
