In a recent combination basketball practice/softball interview with CBS's Harry Smith, President Barack Obama sought to blame certain media personalities for the low opinion many Americans have of him and his policies. "Well, I think that when you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, it's pretty apparent, and it's troublesome, but keep in mind that there have been periods in American history where this kind of vitriol comes out."
This moment from the otherwise snoozer of an interview shows not only this president's knee-jerk reaction to blame someone else for any bad news, but also the cowardly way he confronts his few media critics. When I think of US President vs. US Media, I do not think of the leader of the free world sniping from behind the skirts of an adoring sycophant like Harry Smith. I think of moments like these:

Now that is a great line.
If Barry can’t take the heat, he needs to get the hell out of the kitchen. I never heard George W. Bush complain and whine like this about his critics. Dubya was pounded day in and day out by the ‘RAT toadies in the MSM. They haven’t laid a glove on their “messiah”. Barry is in over his head with this job and should probably give it up and go back to the streets of Chicago where he belongs.
He bows like a servant to the world's thug rulers. He governs like Lenin, stealing our freedom and our future, utterly destroying the nation.
All in all he is the most mentally ill and destructive pathetic excuse for a human aver to be President: the worst in history.
“keep in mind that there have been periods in American history where this kind of vitriol comes out.”
Dissent is patriotic, remember, Obammie the Commie?
And criticism is neither vitriol nor violence.
Now, the 8 years of Pres. Bush’s term in office actually saw a vitriol like nothing we have experienced before.
And, by the way, Obammie the Commie, how do you explain all those people around the world, who do not listen to Rush or Beck, yet still hate your guts?
Gee...whatever happened to dissent being “patriotic”?
The man is contemptable of the office of President. NO sitting President has ever called out individual citizens like this poor excuse for a leader has.
He is “The Bring It ON President.” What a disgrace.
go back to the streets of Chicago where he belongs

Geez, that is like a ‘death sentence’.
How long do you think this girly-man would last on the streets of any large city without SSA’s and Bodyguards?
This lad is NOT a survivor.....
you mean constant bashing by the media will affect how people view the POTUS?
hmmm... I wonder if GWBush ever whined about it? nah... he took it like a man and kept doing the job (without a vacation every 8 weeks)
That’s TROUBLESOME....
Like 20 years in Jeremiah Wright's church?
Obama To Supporters: "Argue With Friend and Neighbors Get In Their Face!"
Obama Mocks Republican 'Armageddon' Rhetoric (Again)
Obama: Police Acted 'stupidly' in Scholar Arrest
NRA: Barack Obama - "bitter gun owners"
A President who mocks and taunts Americans, who incites his followers to be confrontational, is troublesome.
0bama the agitator.
What's troublesome is that we have a know-nothing, loafer of a communist-muslim running the central socialist government of America!
