You can't be loved and adored by everybody, but if you're President Barack Obama and it concerns the media, you can come awfully close.
In an interview on (video) with the network Washington correspondent John Harwood, Obama reflected on the media coverage he has received to date. Harwood asked the president to respond to the claim that lack of media criticism has allowed him to "hurt" the country.
"When you and I spoke in January, you said, I observed that you haven't gotten much bad press," Harwood said. "You said, It's coming.' Media critics would say not only has it not come, but that you've gotten such favorable press either because of bias or because you're good box office that it's hurting the country because you're not sufficiently being held accountable for your policies. Assess that."

Entirely? So Fox never reports on anything else besides Obama? Of course, that is what he really wants anyway, despite his disclaimers.
Narcissism in full bloom.
“I’ve got one television station...”
Well since you think you own FNC, why don’t you do something? As you did with GM and Chrysler.
Post of the week.
This is an Obama “Nixon” moment. :)
Gotta love it.
He’s just trying to start another distraction.
I want to know when he is going to jail.
by telling the truth about it"
Comment to be expected from a total Narcissist!
Whatta crybaby ... he never would have been to tolerate public office during the Civil War, where every CITY not only had a newspaper that agreed but a dissenting paper as well, so that the people could read both sides and make up their own minds. ONE 24-hour network which has editorial/opinion commentary vs. every other network, 24-hour and the alphabets, the pressitute corps in the daily WH briefings, print media, both newspapers and magazines, etc., etc., etc., all in the tank for this gumba?? good grief, already!
“First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration.”
Yeah, and they’ve got so little to attack it for.... /s
The Mayo Clinic on Narcissistic Personality Disorder :
” Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration.
They believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings.
But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem,
vulnerable to the slightest criticism .”
Believing that you’re better than others
Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
Exaggerating your achievements or talents
Expecting constant praise and admiration
Believing that you’re special
Failing to recognize other people’s emotions and feelings
Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
Taking advantage of others
Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
Being jealous of others
Believing that others are jealous of you
Trouble keeping healthy relationships
Setting unrealistic goals
Being easily hurt and rejected
Having a fragile self-esteem
Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional
” Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem,
it’s not the same.
Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem
into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. “

Every sentence describes Obama.
And obviously he remains undiagnosed and untreated.
He has ABC devoted to him inside the Whitehouse so what the Hell is his problem???
He has every channel but FoxNews rooting for him and spreading his propaganda without question, so what the Hell is his problem???
He is just a thinned skinned little African kid who thinks the world must believe in him or else he has a bad day.
I was about to mention President Bush, too. I agree with you. I never heard Bush complain when he was dumped on day after day. He has class and integrity, two things that Obama has never had and never will have.
Aw, the poor little schlep will have to be consoled for only having ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, CNN Headline News, PBS, NPR, the NYT, the WP, the Chigaco Tribune, the LAT and countless other newspapers in his pocket. Boo friken hoo...
While Obama has FoxNews to contend with, Bush had the above list of networks and publications trashing him daily, not even pretending to be objective. At least FoxNews is objective.
FoxNews came down on Bush when he did things he shouldn’t have. Do the above networks and publications come down on Obama when he does things he shouldn’t have.
We have one objective Network in our nation, and a very few objective publications.
And OBama goes weak in the knees over this.
What a consummate wuss! Like I said, he’s a ten year old child in an adult’s body. Now he’s crying because one of the kids on the block doesn’t idolize him. Waaaaaaa...
“First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,” he added, chuckling.
`No, Mr. President—in fact, we don’t smell Axe body spray when you break wind.’ Brit Hume, Fox
`Why ... why do hate me so?’ (sniff) BeeeeeeOhhhhhhh
Fox News has said good things about Obama. His statement that they run nothing but negative stuff about him is a lie.
On the other hand, you would be hard-pressed to hear anything bad about Obama on any other news station, except of course for complaints that he isn’t socializing enough of the economy and he hasn’t made gay marriage legal yet.
Did President Obama run to his wife Michelle and cry on her shoulder that FoxNews is saying bad things about him?
Come on, people. Surely, there has to be someone out there who can defend President Obama's honor by running up to FoxNews executives and tv hosts and punching them in their noses because of the way FoxNews has brought poor little President Obama to tears.
FoxNews, you should be ashamed of yourself for picking on poor little President Obama. You know how sensitive he is to any criticism. Bad, FoxNews. Bad.
I believe that your description is accurate. People like Obama oft times are described as ‘hard boiled eggs.’ Crack the shell and you get a yellow, soft, gooey center that will stink in short order.
This worthless punk couldn’t take a day of the abusive press that was thrown at GW Bush or even Reagan. If I was running Fox News, I would get even more aggressive to push his buttons. I would love to see him make outright threats to the press for not bowing and scraping to his oneness. Hell, our enemies already know where he is weak and is taking full advantage. When a dog eating dictator of a subset of third world countries feels bold enough to take on the USA, our country, we are so screwed. It seems to me that the bad guys now think that they can push the USA around with NO repercussions to follow. Thanks state run media for shepherding this goof into the White House.
