Surely President Barack Obama and his advisers don't really think that their feud with Fox News will do anything but enhance the cable network's viewership. A deeper problem is what the flap reveals about Team Obama, which seems to be more comfortable with campaigning than governing.
I'm not happy about that. It does not fill me with glee to see Fox News star Sean Hannity joyfully replaying Obama's 2004 come-together speech about how we're "not red states or blues states" but "the United States of America" and asking where is Obama's promise now?
I don't agree with Hannity on much. He's only a tad more serious-minded as a news clown, in my grumpy view, than his colleague Glenn Beck. But, as much as my wife might run from the house when she hears me say it, Hannity's right on this one.

Your party has a name for you Clarence. It has to do with sitting on the porch after your work is done.
After all, if a right-wing lunatic like Glenn Beck can produce actual taped evidence, it should be a walk in the park for a liberal intellectual like Page.
Still waiting, waiting....
CLARENCE PAGE, CHICAGO TRIBUNE:... Plus, you know, Jeremiah Wright, I've seen the man preach, long before I knew he was Barack Obama's minister. And people knew he had been Oprah's minister. There's a side to him that has not been shown on these clips. He is a Marine. He is a guy who's had a tremendous program for, for black families, etc.
MATTHEWS: Okay. Would you get those tapes out?
PAGE: Well, it's gonna happen.
MATTHEWS: Let's get the good tapes out.
PAGE: I don't need to. I don't need to.
MATTHEWS: I think a lot of people would like to see them.
PAGE: I think, you're going to be seeing it over the next few weeks and months.
MATTHEWS: Okay.
Chris Matthews Urges Clarence Page to Get Pro-Jeremiah Wright Tapes Out
“...they crusaded against the poor people’s activist group ACORN...”,
Just another Chicago Black covering for BO. To omit the fact that ACORN was caught red-handed in offering to subsidize the pimping of 13 year-old girls from El Salvador with taxpayer money is a rather important clue as to your morals, Mr. Page.
When a product of affirmaive action speaks out against inept affirmative action fascism you know it must be in trouble.
Nine months ago these liberal eggheads were saying Obama was, “Too big to fail”.
And has ole clarence’s wife ever run from the room at the things said by olbermann or madcow?
I doubt it. It’s only the truth that hurts the America hating lefties.
There, fixed it.
In your list, please don’t forget “Townhall protesters” and “Tea Party attendees”. Clarence conveniently forgets all the people our Dear Savior President has been marginalizing.
97% of blacks voted for Zero...
3% are smart..
Well...DUH!!! I am surprised it took this fool 10 months to figure it out!
Obama is not executive material, just an egotistical little boy.
He knows that this is precedent. It could happen to anyone else. And if it does become a regular thing, God Forbid (in their minds, assuming they believe in God and don’t relegate the Lord to some backroom archive) that a Republican become president and try the same thing!
Such phenomena were forecast in the movie "Network" in 1976. Back then the idea of a half-deranged demagogue set loose on a national audience for the sake of ratings still sounded far-fetched. These days the movie looks almost like a documentary.
Although I think it's a big stretch to label Hannity and Beck as "half-deranged demagogues", I actually wouldn't mind it if Page and others would accurately label Matthews, Maddow and Olbermann likewise. Labeling someone a "half-deranged demagogue" merely because of their ideology is not a convincing argument.
I don't recall Bush blaming the media, and certainly not to the degree that this Obama character has.
Clarence not only knows nothing, he suspects nothing.
PUT ME IN COACH I’M READY TO PLAY! ! ! !
“i know several who are Harvard grads.
Usually smart at something but dumb at most.”
So true about Ph.D’s in general. But the truth is that because they are good, perhaps brillant, in one area, they THINK they know all the answers in others. NOT
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE : We pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible with libery and justice for all...........with an enormous thank you to Fox News for striving to sustain our freedoms while under attack by a malevolent White House.

8. Millions of regular American citizens.
LOL
Po ole Clarence even figured out that he’s part of that little crowd called ‘journalists’ that Dear Leader plans to control.
It all comes down to whose ox is being gored.
