Obama – There Is Just Too Much Media Out There…It’s Ruining Our Democracy

"And my ability to control the misinformation."

Waaaa Waaaa Waaaa

Imagine if Bush had said this:

[VIDEO AT SITE]

"Meanwhile, you're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't rank all that high on the truth meter. With iPods and iPads; Xboxes and PlayStations; information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment. All of this is not only putting new pressures on you; it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."

What he's crying about is the fact that he and his cohorts haven't been as successful as hoped in controlling the flow of information, and how we...his minions...should interpret that information.

It is because he doesn’t know any better. He really wasn’t schooled in law and civics. He just attended, or so he says. We have no proof and he has spent 2$ million to hide the fact that he hasn’t been schooled in law and civics.

Barry is sounding very much like Hugo Chavez. He already has 90 percent of journalists covering up his incompetence, but he is angry that the remaining ten percent don't just parrot his teleprompter ramblings and press releases verbatim. Barry is an international embarrassment.

Why does he keeeeep saying “democracy” instead of “republic”????!!!!

Because he believes that he has a majority, and he believes in the tyranny of the majority - something which the constitution was written to prevent.

We already have death camps for the unborn, so why should it surprise anyone that with “obamacare”, old people may be treated like horses with broken legs. The medical “undesirables” will be just the start. Let’s see what happens to anyone who says “Obama Sucks!” a year from now.

We must develop more alternative means to access real information as he attempts shutting down the internet and blogs. SW I guess, still viable.

I don’t see how we can defeat this fascist thug. He is invincible. Unlike the Nazis, the Democrats know exactly what they are doing.

Democracy - 3 wolves and 2 sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Republic - 3 wolves and 2 sheep voting on what to have for dinner, but it is not permissible to eat sheep.

Obama and the wolves in congress have a majority, and they think they have one out here also.

Too Late you stupid fu**ing Kenyan! I guess you should’ve taken away the technology before the public found out what an absolute Dumb Fu** that you are.

Like Rush says, this douch-bag is the most unqualified person no matter what room he’s in!

Barry, you might be president, but we laugh at your sorry, pathetic, A$$!

All of this is not only putting new pressures on you; it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."

No, Barry. You're feeling the new pressures on YOU by the new media. You don't like it. Well, tough crap, whiner, WE are the people and OUR rights will not be abridged. And, moron, we're not a democracy. Look up to see what the founding fathers thought of that. Clue, they thought it as undesirable a form of government as they would have thought you an undesirable occupant of the Oval Office.

And what gives this idiot the authority to control the information we receive? It’s quite apparent that he is not well-read himself, since he has such a limited perspective on the realities of the world.

What he is really saying is, ‘Too many people are examining my true nature.” All his life he has faked it. He is actually very insecure in my view, doesn’t really know who he is, and cannot tolerate so much scrutiny.
