Obama blamed troubles on Fox News, book says
politico ^ | 3/19/12 | MACKENZIE WEINGER |

President Barack Obama blamed Fox News for his political woes in a private meeting with labor leaders in 2010, saying he was “losing white males” who tune into the cable outlet and “hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7,” according to journalist David Corn’s new book, “Showdown.”

In “Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Fought Back Against Boehner, Cantor, and the Tea Party” — which hits bookstores on Tuesday — the Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones chronicles the White House from the 2010 midterm elections to the start of the 2012 campaign. The book focuses on key moments of Obama’s presidency, such as Osama bin Laden’s assassination, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the Arab Spring, the debt ceiling crisis, and the president’s dealings with Congress.

Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Fought Back Against Boehner, Cantor, and the Tea Party

No Palin in the title? I guess Corn doesn’t want to sell very many.

If ANYONE EVER called Obama a Muslim on Fox it would have been featured in Obama’s “Documentary”.

“Most of the time, they insist he is NOT a Muslim, if the topic even comes up.”

Obama: “My Muslim Faith”
Stephy: “You mean Christian Faith”
Obama: “Lord Allah, what was I thinking?”

So let's grant him this slip up.

If he's Christian, then what about Jerimiah Wright?

That's Christian?

Where's the mockery, MSM?

Fixed it.

Do you really think so? I didn’t think he had any spare time for deities other than himself.

I have never, never heard Fox News call Urkel a muslim. They do properly call him anti-Christian, ignorant,a liar, not a leader, a hypocrite and a cr@ppy golfer.

From a poster on the original article: This must be part of his epic video wherein Hanks says that Obama "didn't assess blame."

“Anti-Christian” is probably a lot more accurate than “closet Muslim”.

He may not be an adherent to any religion,
but he hates Christianity more than anything else.

With Obama, every ill is someone else’s fault.

That kind of character trait probably existed when Obama was in grade school, secondary school, college, the IL Senate, the US Senate. We know, as President, he blames everyone else.

*******

Excuse after excuse. Blame after blame.

With each passing day, it looks more and more that President Learning-On-The-Job Obama and his advisers are in way over their heads and have no idea what they are doing.

So I say that it is time to give somebody else a chance on election day Nov. 2012 to be President of the United States.

As I see it, a new president couldn't do any worse than Obama is doing right now.

Yes. With Obama and his staff, it is excuse after excuse, and blame after blame. Sad. Very sad.

An extension of "critical race theory".

There is no level this m’fer won’t sink to and no limit to his childish whining. This isn’t a president, this man is a joke.

FOX just points out what BO does. His own actions have caused Mr. Cool’s downfall.

Journolista David Corn labors mightily to assure us that the object of his affection is still the smartest President ever, outsmarting the knuckle-dragging Republicans at every turn.
