Obama: Too Much Media Emphasis On Health Care Protests

In other words: Comrade Obama has decreed that State Run media, Pravda (NBC), Tass (CBS), Izvestia (ABC) and other State Run news outlets are to stop immediately covering the dissidents.

Biden’s big surprise followed by the measures we “won’t agree with ... at first.”

I believe it is intentional: all the more reason to be concerned. My mind keeps flashing back to that scene at the end of Terminator 2, when Sarah Conner stops her Jeep in Mexico for gas, and the little boy scams her into taking her picture for a few bucks, and then points to a threatening sky and remarks: "There's a storm coming!".

There is.

I wish I had the time to do this comparison!

[So I guess the MSM’s attacking of the folks showing up at the town halls isn’t working so phase two is to ignore them.]

You nailed it.

Glenn Beck played a video comparison some time last week.

President Bush, as you said, welcomed criticism and protest as something fundamentally American.

Of course that's because he IS an American......

(Maybe the clips are in the Glenn Beck archives?)

Funny, we were thinking there was too much media emphasis on you, Obama.

Obama says news organizations are putting too much emphasis on scenes of hostile protesters

---

Isn’t this a goal of community organizing? One wishes to attract media attention to one’s cause. Alinski would be proud.

[Lazamataz]

Says Obama: "Media attention on current and important issues is not required.

"All that is required, is cheerleading and rubberstamping my program."

[mware]

Obama keeps this up Fox's cable ratings are going to be higher than ABC/NBC&CBS combined.

If they will not cover it, people will go to the networks that do cover it.

[TheMightyQuinn]

“TV loves a ruckus,” Obama said.

Is that why the media overwhelmingly voted for you, Mr. Obama?

Socialized Medicine aka Universal Health Care PING LIST

FReepmail me if you want to be added to or removed from this ping list.

**This is a high volume ping list! (sign of the times)**

Looks like Obama gets his talking points from Democratic Underground. I stopped over there a couple times the past couple weeks and I was reading this very same line he’s now touting. Attack the media coverage of protesters.

Obama would better read the last Rasmussen poll:

Rasmussen: 54% would prefer no bill to current ObamaCare proposals

Thirty-five percent (35%) of American voters say passage of the bill currently working its way through Congress would be better than not passing any health care reform legislation this year. However, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters (54%) say no health care reform passed by Congress this year would be the better option…

Among those not affiliated with either major party, 23% would like the Congressional reform to pass while 66% would rather the legislators take no action.

Obama team doesn’t care what anyone thinks. They are damned and determined to pass this. It isn’t about health care or insurance reform. It is about government control over every aspect of our lives.

I can guarantee you that they have a bigger fight on their hands than they realize. Most people want to be left alone to live their own lives. Once they figure out this is about telling them they can’t the protests are going to get even bigger.

Obama reminds me of a punk *ss walking in to the boss’s office with his resume in a leather brief case with nothing on it!

[freekitty]

So true, and there is something seriously wrong with our government if the President is destroying our country.

[Marguerite]

“Obama team doesn’t care what anyone thinks.”

Sure, but an important number of democrats in the Congress care about their jobs and privileges; they know that if they vote the bill on party line, they will be fired by their constituents next year. Let’s wait and see how many of them are ready to commit hara-kiri.
