The original stimulus spending became part of the new baseline, and has been part of every continuing resolution. This is where your trillion dollar deficits come from and why there has been no budget in four years.

Townhall gives an answer to Obama’s accusations.

I suppose that is good, but we here in FR and a few other sites are the onlt ones who see it.

Have you heard a Republican response to Obama’s lies? Will we ever hear a response to Obama’s lies? Not from Boehnar or McConnell we won’t. If Pelosi were Speaker we would certainly hear from her.

SPEAK Republicans lets hear from you.

Old Soviet Joke:

The Commissar comes to the tractor factor to give his monthly propaganda speech. He says, “Wheat production has exceeded quota!”

Podgorny raises his hand and says, “Then why is there no bread in stores?”

The Commissar says, “Is not important. Sugar production has exceeded our quotas!”

Podgorny raises his hand, “Then why is there no sugar in stores?”

“Is not important,” the Commissar says.

Next month, the Commissar comes to give his speech. A worker raises his hand and says, “I don’t want to know why is there no bread. I don’t want to know why is there no sugar. I want to know…where is Podgorny?”

Our Useless White House Press Corps


It is useless, period.

Other than really, really stupid questions and “softball” inquires, the normal democrat voter is actually perplexed, stymied, and overwhelmed by anything more complex than a three word sentence based upon the level of a three year old child’s understanding.

Worse yet, anything said by King Obama and his surrogates are flat out lies or “canned” propaganda.

I believe that a press conference that is turned into a media porn video with Obama and Helen Thomas would be the equivalent of what we now see at each and every press fiasco.

After 5 years of failing to question Obama on even the most blatant lies, the WH reporters cannot begin to question them now for fear of looking hypocritical, or being attacked by their peers, as Woodward is being attacked now.

The Left allows no dissension, no serious questioning of the One, & punishes both as treason. Given that the media is overwhelmingly liberal, a reporter incurring the One’s ire could wind up as a paper folder in Podunk.

I just saw a segment on the "Today" show -- the two hosts were "chatting" about the Sequester and they noted:

Sequester would be bad for this reason
Sequester would be painful for that reason
People would suffer this other reason

Then they noted that the President was hoping that enough public outrage might really put pressure on congress (*cough* Republicans *cough*) to change their entire attitude.

Then they listed a couple more examples of how Sequester will be bad and painful.

I think the hosts were trying to help the White House by stirring up public outrage and trying to get people to voice their support for Obama by contacting politicians (*cough* Republicans *cough*). I think I just saw naked propaganda from the official White House news service. But it's just so hard to be really sure.

Saw it too and let Lester Holt have it on Twitter. Maybe his cabana boy will read my tweet to him.

Let’s not forget the many lies of omission as well. He made a big deal about how he was interested in a Republican plan that closed a lot of loopholes but had been pulled back, “Boehner himself listed them for me” or something like that, but didn’t mention that that Republican plan required matching spending cuts, which is why he never went for it.

“The Left allows no dissension, no serious questioning of the One, & punishes both as treason.”

And why is that? They weren’t totally in the bag like this for their previous leftist presidents.

Wow, it’s kinda chilling that that joke has been brought up to date for both Hillary and Obama talking to elementary school kids.

Useless?!?

The White House Press Corps is worse than that. They're part of the fifth-column media buttboys to Traitorobama.

You have it exactly. Our repub ‘leaders’ are completely inept. And most of the underlings too.
Are they afraid for their lives? Afraid they won’t be invited to the next cocktail party? What is it?

The American press is the enemy of the people.

They weren’t totally in the bag like this for their previous leftist presidents.

I remember toward the end of the Carter admin. the press was openly hostile toward Carter.

IIRC Kalb, Donaldson, maybe Schorr were really on his case.

Where is the raucous press conference with reporters standing with raised hands trying to get noticed. Many yelling questions.

Beezle's press conferences reminds me of a 2nd grade classroom. All sitting quietly waiting for the teacher to speak and mouthing "Yes, teacher".

Let me get this straight: The “Evil Republicans” are the cause of an $85 billion cut in a non-existent budget....

so far?....

..and Obama just gave a $60 billion aid package to the Muslim Brotherhood backed Syrian rebels......

.......

Please be specific.
