The mask is off. No more pretending. The dictator is displeased and things have to change.
I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And look, it’s still being propagated. I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant venue. They will find folks who make me mad. I don’t know where they find them. They’re all like, “I don’t want to work. I just want a free Obama Phone, or whatever.” And that becomes an entire narrative that gets worked up. And very rarely do you hear an interview of a waitress, which is much more typical — who is raising a couple of kids and doing everything right but still can’t pay the bills.As John Nolte notes, Barack Obama knows squat about being poor:And so, if we’re going to change how Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) think, we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like. And how budgets connect to that. And that’s a hard process because that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly news.
Obama attended prep schools as a child, lived with his well-to-do grandparents in Honolulu as a teen, where he attended Panahou, a fancy private school. Both of his grandparents were well educated; she even worked as the vice president of a bank. For a time, Obama had a nanny! From there Obama attended Occidental College in California, was well off enough to visit Pakistan for 3 weeks; he then attended two of the most prestigious colleges in the country: Columbia and Harvard.We have noted here that Obama famously said that he doesn't watch the news, asserting "Whatever they’re reporting about, usually I know."The closest Obama has ever come to experiencing anything close to poverty was during his time as a community organizer in Chicago. And in that dynamic, the poor were just pawns for Obama to manipulate to achieve his political ambitions.
Obama knows nothing of struggle, or what life is like for those who do. And after 7 years of his failed economic policies, we also know he doesn’t give a damn enough about the poor to change his policies in a way that might actually help them.
Obama likes poor people fine — he likes them dependent on the government.
He also likes the news media to do what it’s told.
And Obama doubled down, claiming that he doesn't watch cable news at all!
“He’s a voracious consumer of the printed word — even the electronic printed word — but he doesn’t watch cable news”said Jay Carney.
But we all know what an incontrovertible liar Obama is. Obama has had a feud with Fox News for a long time. This from 2009:
And the White House has gone beyond words, reports CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield. Last Sept. 20, the president went on every Sunday news show - except Chris Wallace's show on FOX. And on Thursday, the Treasury Department tried to exclude FOX News from pool coverage of interviews with a key official. It backed down after strong protests from the press.Almost from the beginning Obama has sought to "delegitimize" Fox News:"All the networks said, that's it, you've crossed the line," said CBS News White House correspondent Chip Reid.

It’s too Late Barry ,your 15 minutes is almost up .LOL
Unless the Won decides to go all "Mussolini" on conservative media and talk radio, FOXNEWS and Rush Limbaugh and other talk radio outlets will continue to expose the lies and deceptions of the Obama regime and their 'rat lackeys.
Fox News should immediately set up an offshore streaming website. I would pay for that service.
This is still very much a mystery. Why would any one want to visit Pakistan? Isn't this incredibly strange? Is it un PC to ask this question? No one vacations in Pakistan! Why?
I like that picture. “Il Douche”
Why? It would show 0bama won.
And Fox is hardly 100% conservative, 24/7. They aren’t.
And he cannot handle that.
All the other stations say the exact same things.
Spoken like a true Marxist disdainful of dissent. Obama ignores those who didn’t vote for him. They don’t exist to him. If he could he would jail all dissenters just like his buddy fidel
but politicians bow to him. They break laws, they find any excuse to please the smart alec bs artist foreigner.
Pravda (aka NYT) will be the only allowable outlet for news and or/opinion.
Just stream their broadcasts from offshore, as an option for the consumer. OBTW, many of us are dumping the expensive cable and satellite services.
Here’s what JFK had to say about secrecy, the presidency, and the press. Barry Obama was in utero when JFK delivered this speech. The little devil would be born about four months later. Like my neighbor says, “It’s been downhill ever since.”
Speech given by President John F. Kennedy
Subject: The President and the Press
American Newspaper Publishers Association
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
New York, NY
April 27, 1961
“Ladies and gentlemen. The very word secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago, that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it.
Even today, there is little value in opposing the thread of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in assuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.
That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it’s in my control. And no official of my administration whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press or the public the facts they deserve to know.
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. It’s mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.
No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary.
I’m not asking your newspapers to support an administration. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.
I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, an error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors. And we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy.
That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and to entertain, not to emphasis the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crisis and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.
This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improve the understanding of the news as well as improve transmission. And it means finally that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security.
And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance. Confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.”
Except when something bad happens. Then they're his go-to source for information.
He went there for a wild spring break.....
Yeah right...whatever or whoever you think you are, YOUR NOT!
YOU will be a thing of the past real soon, thank you God...and from the time a new President takes over, he will be removing EVERYTHING you have tried to do...
OH and one more thing, if you think your going to take over any state in AMERICA...think again, YOUR NOT!!!
