Obama takes aim at Fox News (The audacity of a dope!)
CNN ^ | 6/17/2009 | Alexander Mooney

Posted on 06/17/2009 7:30:49 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

(CNN) – Brushing off suggestions Tuesday the media is not critical enough of his administration, President Obama couldn't help but take aim at one cable news channel in particular.

"It's very hard for me to swallow that one," Obama told CNBC when asked whether he thinks the media is too easy on him. "First of all, I've got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration."

The interviewer quickly assumed Obama was referring to Fox News, a suggestion the president didn't disagree with.

"Well, that's a pretty big megaphone," he said. "And you'd be hard-pressed, if you watched the entire day, to find a positive story about me on that front."

Attacking? Since when is valid criticism an attack?

Oh, that's right, when they aren't joining the herd of media remoras fighting for space on your arse.

Time for a crack-down on the free press and talk radio! Can't have them reporting on anything that might be unfavorable for the Furheur.

From now on, only the official Obamunist Party Propaganda Arm will read the news.

You would be hard pressed to find anything positive about him on Fox if you watched an entire day? Is this guy delusional???????

You see some positive and some criticism. I think that more than some others, Fox tries to be balanced. He’s full of it, to think that Fox News is devoted to attacking his administration. Where the heck is that coming from?

Conversely, you'd be hard-pressed,if you watched all the other alphabet nets the entire day, to find a negative story about Zer0 on that front

He has an administration? The way his PR flacks behave you would think that Obama is sweeping the floors and changing the lightbulbs in addition to his government expansion nightmare.

This thin-skinned narcissist is too much! He's got CBSABCNBCCNNMSNBCCNBC and the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and AP and Reuters singing his hossanas 24x7, but he cares about Fox News Channel, a cable outlet that although the most successful, still only draws one-third the audience of any of the major broadcast networks. Just wait till he finds out what's said about him on the internet and talk radio!

This guy is worse than a pansy. Larry Sinclair's claims of a homosexual relationship with Zer0bama are given alot of weight when Zer0 whines like a such a sissy-bitch.

"President" my a##. This clown is a bad joke. The only good news is how quickly time passes, and how soon it will be 2012. Can you say "One Term Zer0"?

I knew you could.

A day will come when Obama will demand worship!

Things are already moving in that direction.

If he thought he could get away with it at this time, he should shut down Fox. His arrogance and his anger with Fox News is showing through. How dare they question him.

I am truly frightened for this nation.

*snif*

"It's just so... HARD to be out there. Sometimes my teleprompter breaks and... these mean people LAUGH at m-m-meeeeee! *sob*"

Good heavens, man. If it's THAT painful for you, just change the channel back to CNN and bask in the warm glow of their undying adoration.

Keep Chrissy Matthews around and he'll tingle for you.
