They say you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you. But the 44th President of the United States doesn't seem to be worried about that.
President Barack Obama, still with no fear of being overexposed, made the rounds on five Sunday morning talk shows on Sept. 20 to make another attempt at winning the hearts and minds over on his vague health care proposal.
According to Obama, it alleged he wasn't doing any "media-bashing," mention the three major cable news networks by name, saying they were the ones enabling the "rude" behavior that some of their on-air voices have decried by giving it so much attention.

Prediction: After this whiney media blitz, BO’s poll numbers will be at an all-time low.
Can we PLEASE have a "Reset Button" on this sham of an election? Geez.
Guess Chris Wallace is right on. They are a bunch of crybabies.
They might push back a little on this. After all, he’s “their guy” and they sold all of their integrity to get him elected. Now he’s calling them out for not being supportive enough just because they don’t have anything left to give him. There comes a time when battered wife syndrome turns into rage.
Obamas a cunning runt and excuse my dyslexia.....
Press freedom concerns as Chávez cracks down on opposition media-Sept. 9, 2009
A leading Venezuelan TV channel, Globovision, could lose its broadcast licence for allegedly airing a viewer's text message calling for a coup and the assassination of President Hugo Chávez. The channel's owners may also face trial for trying to incite rebellion.
Globovision, a 24-hour news channel, is the last major channel on Venezuela's regular airwaves that is strongly critical of Chávez. Last month, the government closed 32 radio stations and two small television stations.
Telecommunications commission president Diosdado Cabello said last week that an additional 29 radio stations "will soon leave" the airwaves, adding: "We are acting within the law."
These moves indicate once again that press freedom in Venezuela is under severe threat. "There's a clear strategy to control the flow of information and restrict criticism," says Carlos Lauria of the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. "It's aimed at building a communicational hegemony for the state."
I can’t find anything in the Constitution OR the Ten Commandments about not being “rude”.
Rude is in the eye of the beholder....kinda like racism....according to some...Joe Wilson was RUDE....but, NOT in MY book! In my book it is MORE than Rude to stand before Congress lying.
Unless you agree with Obama, you’re a rude, stupid racist...
Being rude is when you tell the boy king no.
Karma can be a real ....! What goes around, comes around.
When BO reins in his own press secretary and chief of staff, I'll take notice. When he admonishes Pelosi, Reid, Dean and company, I'll take him seriously.
Until then, FU BO.
It may be, with the plummeting polls - combined with his whining calls to the media and pushing them to only report what and how he wants them to, that the MSM is getting a clue. They liked the part about being able to control the MSM to get him elected, but I don't believe they want to be controlled themselves.
They may be lining up on the stern, ready to jump ship.
May few of them know how to swim.
In a country where we have the Second Amendment as protection against a totalitarian Federal government, the vigorous exercise of the First Amendment doesn’t seem like such a far-fetched thing.
GWB never whined about the press nor his critics he just did his job. Chris Wallace was right they are crybabies and he is the CryBaby-in-Chief.
