Nothing lasts forever: Cover from the jourbalists and the race card can only do so much. When one or more American cities go up in flames, everything will do a 180.

[Columbia]

Gee, a Leftist National Media doesn't criticize a Leftist Marxist pResident. How shocking.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Another Obama cover or did Newsweek lose enough money lately?

[Political Junkie Too]

Let's try a thought expeeriment. An American president was installed into office due to a media that exaggerated the faults of his opponents and covered up the faults of their favorite. Shortly after the president takes office, an Army base is attacked by a terrorist, an airplane is attacked by a terrorist, downtown New York City is attacked by a terrorist, the government steamrolls the nationalization of health care over the objections of 70% of Americans, and instead of the media asking who, when, why, how, and what else, they marvel at the new president's ability to avoid being asked who, when, why, how, and what else?

Of course Fineman is not going to admit that Soetoro’s “uncanny ability” is nothing but a pro-abortion, leftist media.

[Red Steel]

Fineman watches too much of the deluded world of PMSNBC.

>When one or more American cities go up in flames, everything will do a 180.

I would hope so; but let’s ask the supremely distasteful question: What if it wouldn’t?

Imagine some sort of violent riot sparked because of Illegal Immigration (it doesn’t matter who: pro or con); the spark could even be deliberate. The news immediately sensationalize and dramatize it, exaggerating present elements and/or adding them [like race].

The National Guard of that state is called up, but when the communications and power go out the chaos seems to be ‘too much,’ and a request is made to the Federal Government for reinforcements. These reinforcements secure the city, cut off outside communication, and restore power and water. During the operations Food Stores, Medical Supplies will have been declared confiscate-able so that the Soldiers may conduct S&R AND so that civilians won’t starve/die.

The ‘investigation’ reveals that the power and water failures were “acts of terrorism” and the terrorists* merely took advantage of the timing and situation.
[* These could be actual terrorists or “right-wing extremists,” or a false-flag op implicating either.]

That city has the martial law that was declared extended so that the military and police can root out whoever sabotaged the utilities. Firearms and ammunition are added to the list of what may be confiscated and private gun owners are shaken-down/intimidated/implicated. (Remember that all communication, except for ‘official’ business, is down.)

At this point there are several ways things can go down.

He doesn't shake off blame. It's never assigned. It would be interesting to see obama try a ‘big boy’ news conference though. One time, ever.

[Tolsti2]

His popularity is in the toilet and will probably stay that way. The economy still has everyone in knots, so all this other stuff that isn’t directly in their face is kinda not focused. The media of course cherry picks the stories and tries to help, but it still doesn’t help his poll #’s.

[SmokingJoe]

Wow!
Howard Fineman wrote this this?
I am in shock.
Guys, I think he probably just had too much beer last night. He'll be back to normal 0bamabot mode by Monday.:)

[Carley]

Some kneepads never wear out.

The msm will find that no one is buying their dog food on this poseur.

[TigersEye]

Nearly a year later, the president—to the dismay of his environmentalist supporters—says he wants to greatly expand offshore drilling.

No he didn't. That's a bald-face lie. Barry0 approved of some limited offshore exploration while simultaneously closing a far greater percentage of areas that were open to drilling. Fineman can't tell the truth even when he's criticizing the Zer0.

[DontTreadOnMe2009]

Oh Fineman Fineman Fineman

If your hero Zero personally showed up in a Satan costume you’d still love him ...

Or would that be dedicate a book to him, like your other hero Alinsky???

[Dustbunny]

Can’t Touch Him: Obama's uncanny ability to shake off blame

Totally amazing how often he can stand at 'his' podium, look us all in the eye and explain how 'the dog ate his homework' and get away with it.

[Paige]

This is easy - three words - “THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA”.
If the Bush Administration had done a tenth of what this Marxist Regime has done, the media would splash this on the news for weeks and months or until they (the media) felt they had conditioned people to think the way they wanted them to think.

[calex59]

He doesn’t have an ability to escape blame, he just doesn’t accept the consequences of his actions and the state run media doesn’t hold him to any says or does. This isn’t ability it is biased news reporting.

[nolongerademocrat]

“When one or more American cities go up in flames, everything will do a 180.”

That’s what I’m thinking.

[Ann Archy]

That’s because he says, with CONFIDENCE, BOTH SIDES of EVERYTHING!! He’s For offshore drilling, he’s against it....he’s FOR nuclear eneregy, he’s against it, etc., etc., etc.....and he ALWAYS BLAMES a SCAPEGOAT and STUPID people eat that up!!

[SonOfDarkSkies]

To those on the right, he's evil incarnate, but on the left, he still can do no wrong

IMO this is the nut in the pile of leaves.

Conservatives are mature people. They live in a world which is defined by "right" and "wrong"!

And when they look at Obama, they see him first in those terms...they see him in the clear light of day!

They see that he is not just evil, he is the very epitome of evil!

But Liberals...of course they can't see Obama for what he is! They hate morality so much that they have gouged out the eyes of their souls!

Obama knows this...he is counting on it.

[Venturer]

I dont know what a BO supporter is, but I have an idea it bears an amazing resemblance to a butt plug.

[Condor51]

Well what does Howard Fineman expect from the State Run Media?

After all, did the 'Frankfurt Times' ever criticize Adolph Hitler or Albert Speer for polluting the environment? Or Pravda raise a peep when Stalin turned the Aral Sea into a toxic lake dump site? I don't think so.

It's the same story, just a different time.
