President Obama should do what he says about secrecy (MSM awakening?)

The sycophantic MSM still loves Obomba, but they see other newspapers fail due to one-sided coverage and want to cover their backsides.

But ... he never does what he says. These people have to realize that you never pay attention to what he says. It's what he does that matters. And what he does is appalling.

Yeah, how is that “open government” plan working for the state-run commedia? They know something is is not being explained, and they perhaps miss (or totally overlook) half of what is actually happening. Have you seen any reports of the various “tea parties” around the country? Is there an UNBIASED poll about ANYTHING that is being taken or reported?

Are you feeling good yet?

Compared to the Bush presidency, this administration is doing better.

A perfect example of an assertion contrary to evidence.

An astounding misrepresentation on the part of our non-biased media. LIE, to us yokels!

“But ... he never does what he says. These people have to realize that you never pay attention to what he says. “

I was talking to a friend of mine over the weekend. Reasonably bright guy, in the trades, so he tends to side with Democrats. More often then not, he has reasons for his stands. He tends to be logical, even if at times his logic is flawed.

We started talking about Fox news. He told me how Fox was unreliable and totally hard right wing. I told him of things that were reported by Fox that never made the SRM. He grudgingly agreed, but still couldn’t come to admit that Fox is a legitimate news source. Then I pointed to Obama, his lies, and how Fox is seemingly the only news outlet keeping tabs on the lies and broken promises. Again, he grudingly agreed, but it had little impact. He still thinks Obama is ok, and might even be good. He sees nothing good in the GOP, (I’m not sure he’s too far off on that one), and still thinks Fox is the clown network.

This from a moderate Democrat. I know in the past he has voted Republican. He voted for GWB in his first term. He was going to vote McCain until McCain just didn’t carry himself well in the debates, at times looking very old and confused.

It’s going to be a tough battle if this guy is any indication.

Adversity builds character. Meaning, it's a good thing the battle is tough.

We knew where George Bush was born.

This is the sort of thing which really shows how effective the MSM really is. I know people who think that Fox is staffed by slobbering, rightwing extremists who make no attempt at reporting the news -- they just dream up lies. These people also tend to think that Sarah Palin is perhaps th dumbest woman on the planet.

Very, very hard to make headway in such a climate.

two things I think are at work here...

1)Certain more astute members of the MSM are foreseeing the coming Obama credibility crash, and are taking steps to get a foothold on the beachhead of deniability before it happens. (the vast majority though are still as clueless as cattle in the slaughterhouse chute)

2)The Euro press has not swallowed the Obama Kool-Aid to the extent that our domestic MSM has, and this disconnect places them under various forms of uncomfortable pressure as they so much desire to be part of the “world community”.

He's a democrat; of course, the media loves him.

However, they'd better start attacking the secrecy that is going on in the White House. Obambi thinks he's a law unto himself.

The leftist worldview, however, includes the notion that the elite leadership has to be given arbitrary power and be excluded from the rules they impose on others,

because the end result is so desirable and can only be achieved through the direction of the elite.

Members of the corporate media live in their own world - actually, they think they rule the world, now. Things do not bode well for Obambi. Sure, it won’t be as bad as if he were a conservative, but I’m seeing signs that the honeymoon is definitely over.

Why President Hussein Obomba is now the 'leader' of the 'free world.'

He is the African-Kenyan who now leads the pack of pansies who rule and ruin your life and your nation's economy.

Oh...President Soetoro.

Or did you mean President Davis?

That would be ironic.

Wait ‘till people start disappearing off the streets. No opponents for the annointed one.
