Are you telling me these POS don’t know this already; so why the grand-standing!

And how does this do anything that cannot be done anyway, what’s the purpose of this legislation, to whitewash foreign corruption and pervert information by having Government gatekeepers to tell everyone what is and is not.

Let’s create a Freedom of Religion Act while we are at it, and keep track of Foreign States and regions which do not support freedom of religion, then create a no go and sanction list; starting with the Saudi Arabia…

Does this act compel Gibbs to answer questions? Maybe someone can ask Obama at his next press conference. I’m sure that’s coming up soon, right?

For an individual journalist, there is a big difference between beheading and being denied access. But for “freedom of speech” you get the same results whether you threaten to behead or threaten to deny access. Journalists cannot afford to have their access denied, and this administration not only threatens, but carries through.

When Helen Thomas criticizes a Democrat administration for their press policies, they have no business lecturing other countries on freedom of the press.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

the Daniel Pearl Freedom of Press Act

I wasn't at the signing ceremony but I think I know what happened. Obama used twenty or thirty different pens, handing them off to nameless bureaucrats as souvenirs, while calling the bill 'historic'.

Meanwhile..... millions of Americans continue to be unemployed, terrorist and criminals flood over our borders, Socialism continues to gain a foothold in our lives, national debt rises into the trillions, and the American Dream is stolen from from the futures of hundreds of millions of yet to be born American citizens.

So, it’s all good news for Obama, because he’s made sure he has signed an unenforceable and nonsustaining piece of paper. Wow, I think he made me faint, again.

All Hail The White Hating Black Muslim Bastard of the World.
