White House Drops ‘News’ from Fox News Placeguards at State of the Union Lunch
National Review Online ^ | 1/20/15 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 01/20/2015 2:24:35 PM PST by Nachum

It was a subtler snub than the Obama administration’s 2009 claim that Fox News was “a wing of the Republican party.” But that didn’t stop Fox anchor Shepard Smith from calling out the White House for slighting the news network at Tuesday’s State of the Union lunch. Smith spent much of his on-air news hour waxing poetic about the lunch, which President Obama held in order to lay out his policy proposals before a small group of influential news anchors.

Dear Shep,

Obama is giving you the bird right in your face, and you are grinning saying, “Sure, whatever you say Mr. President”

Make no mistake....if Obamugabe could, he would go Jihad on Fox News....plan “B” is to infiltrate it with folks like Shepard Smith and other liberals—except not the readers of the product—but the upper echelon; the managers and gatekeepers.

Ha. Ha. That is hysterical. Almost as funny as removing “press” from press office and press secretary. No, that might make sense.

That’s ok. We dropped accepting anything the whitehouse does as being anything other than political $hit stirring and a$$ covering for quite some time now.

“I always drop the word, “President,” whenever I say, “Obama.””

I heard today someone on Fox saying “Mr. Oabam”. hehe

I am with you. We have to suffer through two more years of this dung wad. Nothing he will say will A) Be true, or B) Improve the country. And if I hear him talk one more time about ‘folks’, I think I will vomit about two weeks worth of meals. You are better off watching Gilligan’s Island reruns.

If he had the power he would shut Fox down. In an instant.

NOPE

If FOX hasn’t figured out yet that Obama is so arrogant, he believes it’s his right to diminish FOX, then FOX need to take their pencils and pads and go home.

And .. Shep always over-reacts to everything.

Progressives just never grow up. Perpetual adolescence (at most).
