When Obama’s Justice Department isn’t monitoring the phone lines of Fox News reporters and their parents, he’s publicly berating them during boring, tired speeches.
During his new but old economic speech yesterday at Northwestern University, President Obama mocked Americans who have concerns about Obamacare limiting their freedom and whined about Fox News.
“While good affordable health care might seem like a fanged threat to the freedom of the American people on Fox News, it turns out it’s working pretty well in the real world,” he said.
Bonus: A second complaint about Fox News was sent out on Obama's official Twitter account.
President Obama: While affordable health care might still be a threat to freedom on Fox News, it’s working pretty well in the real world.— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) October 2, 2014
Obama's lack of self-awareness when it comes to Obamacare is astounding. While he attempts to insult Fox News, he is actually insulting millions of Americans who have lost their healthcare, lost their doctors, seen their premiums and deductibles skyrocket or lost jobs as a result of the overbearing cost Obamacare puts on the healthcare system and the economy. Obamacare isn’t affordable, it isn’t working and the numbers prove it. Guy broke this down last week after liberal wonk Ezra Klein published a piece titled In conservative media, Obamacare is a disaster. In the real world, it’s working.:
A recent Kaiser Foundation poll found that 14 percent of Americans say the 'Affordable' Care Act has impacted their family for the better. The trouble is that twice that number said they've been directly harmed by the law, which was marketed as a win-win for all consumers. Numerous national surveys have consistently tracked the same two-to-one, hurt-to-helped ratio. People's actual experiences are not a product of propaganda-driven confusion.
By the way, why is President Obama stealing Ezra Klein's work? Or is has he put Klein on the payroll? Further, if Obamacare is so great, then why is it that just 36 percent of Democrat candidates support it?
Democrats on the campaign trail are not feeling so hot about Obamacare.Obamacare is in fact a disaster in the real world. Fox News on the other hand, is a roaring success. Over to you Greta.
New research from the Brookings Institution’s Elaine C. Kamarck and Alexander R. Podkul shows that only 36 percent of Democrats running for Congress this year have expressed a position in support of Obamacare. Another small segment–25.5 percent–have offered a lukewarm position on the law.
"When leaders blame others they sure don't look like leaders, they look absolutely childish and it's distressing President Obama is so quick to blame others."
Greta: Obama should lead, stop picking fights with Fox News 'Off the Record,' 10/2/14: President Obama likes to play the blame game and blaming Fox News was red meat for his base. But he has to realize he doesn't hurt us and only diminishes his office.
Republicans should be reminding voters that this POS delayed the employer mandate, which will affect by far the largest number of people.

I agree. Valerie and the First Yeti are probably feeling all kinds of power.
Ayers, et al too.
Figures released this week on Reno news said that about 7 1/2 million have been enrolled into Obamacare.
That figure isn’t vetted for people who are not even citizens.
If the census of 330 million is correct, then less than 2/3 % of Americans have been enrolled—including many who may not be legally entitled.
The government could have put clinics into every pharmacy in the country for 1/10 of the money already spent on Obamacare & left in place the insurance programs we all grew up with.
This will come back on Obama until the day he dies.
One day he will burn for eternity in the Lake of Fire, but I hope when his ticket is punched, it is a painful exit from this earth.
Yes.
This is worth repeating.
...and the re-repeating.
And when he’s not lying, he practices taqiyya.
You’re exactly right. He’s a master of taqiyya. At every opportunity I try to put that point across. Some get it, others don’t.

I agree.
Tyrants never have good endings. Never.
The Marxist sycophants decided to target Fox News yesterday. I found it interesting how they put State Department spokesmoron Jen Psaki on Megyn Kelly last night, just combatively spewing idiotic talking points.
He can’t handle the sting of truth whining is his full time job.
Bill Clinton would add: "Now get us some coffee."
I can hardly wait to see what little parting gift he and the Lizard are going to come up with in his last days in office. It’ll have to be a doozy to top all the damage he’s done, much of it irreparable IMO, to this country already and all the damage he still has two more years to inflict. All I think I can do anymore is just hang on for the ride and try to come out alive on the other side, unless God in His mercy calls me and His other children home in the meantime. Obola is the precursor to the antichrist, he has shown just how easy it will be.
After Morris' failures in predicting the 2012 election, I have no faith in anything he says or writes, and avoid reading his blogs.
I could add to your characterizations of him but I would get banned.
That’s 4.4%; still abysmally low
I am exhibiting extreme self control by not posting the words I am thinking right now.
Being one of Obama’s enemies he wishes to punish, the revenge he and his ilk have sought is coming to fruition.
your comment is exactly what i’ve been saying since day one of this coup. my biggest frustration of all is watching all the talking heads(incl. Fox) who refuse to understand what is happening here. a take of the United States! ski
Yes, Fox is included. At best, they still seem to think that we’re playing “politics as usual”, and are ignorantly or willfully blind to the fact that this country has been taken over-a coup, as you say, one that the dumbed-down majority chose to enact upon their own selves. All they could see or hear were all the freebies he promised.
