Obama: Reporters tell me my ideas are 'great'

President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as “great” and tell him they are “all good ideas.”

Obama made the remarks in a speech Wednesday in Galesburg, Ill., focused on the economy.

The address didn’t include any new proposals on the economy, and Republicans criticized Obama for giving an address that was more of the same.

But Obama said the news media often praises his ideas.

"It’s interesting, in the run-up to this speech, a lot of reporters say that, well, Mr. President, these are all good ideas, but some of you’ve said before; some of them sound great, but you can't get those through Congress. Republicans won’t agree with you," Obama said.

Obama argued some Republicans privately agree with a lot of his ideas.

“I know because they’ve said so. But they worry they’ll face swift political retaliation for cooperating with me,” he said.

Those would be editorials (cheerleaders), not reporters, Mr. President.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Well, if reporters are talking to him, he’s hearing them through the vibrations coming from his rectum.

Sounds like a parody of a parody

“...for cooperating with me,”

That says alot, huh? Do you think he believes he's much bigger than a president? He has taken power and those who are supposed to stop him have watched, even “cooperated”. You know who you are, Mr. McCain, among others.

I don't know how this moron in the Whitehouse processes information inside his head? His image and story is what you should find when you google search "The Emporers New Clothes".

President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as “great” and tell him they are “all good ideas.”

Including, no doubt, that towering genius reporterette who asked her guest, Bill Nye, the fake science guy, if an asteroid's close approach to the earth was related to "climate change."

Even Bill Nye was chagrined at the abject stupidity of the reporterette. But at least Nye knew that she was completely stupid. Obama, on the other hand, consistently makes the mistake of thinking that the press in this day and age is relatively intelligent, which couldn't be further from the truth nowadays.





























There may have been a day where your average member of the press had an IQ above 60, but that day, of course, is long, long past.

Reporters as a general rule can’t do math or economics. But I’m sure they ‘feel’ Obama’s wonderful.

[CSM]

Marxists must always blame others, even to the point of demonizing the opposition. That way they can ensure the useful idiots still support their failed policies. Plus, if you can successfully demonize the opposition, then you can eventually actually eliminate them while the sheeple applaude.

[Maceman]

Just like the Republicans who tell him they “secretly agree with him”?

Unfortunately, I think too many Republicans do secretly agree with him.

[blackdog]

I knew that any random idiot was more qualified as president than Obama. It tturns out the media has proven my point.

[Carl Vehse]

President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as “great” and tell him they are “all good ideas.”

That's because the fifth-column media are lying traitors like Traitorobama.

[blackdog]

The Washington media is bought with cocktail parties, catered meals, luxury travel, posh accomodations, wealth, and flattery when done as scripted.

Nothing comes before those things.

“Life’s Been Good”

I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain’t never been there, they tell me it’s nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

They say I’m crazy but I have a good time
I’m just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life’s been good to me so far

My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don’t drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I’m attacked

I make hit records, my fans they can’t wait
They write me letters, tell me I’m great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I’ll call

Lucky I’m sane after all I’ve been through
(Everybody say I’m cool) (He’s cool)
I can’t complain but sometimes I still do
Life’s been good to me so far

I go to parties, sometimes until four
It’s hard to leave when you can’t find the door
It’s tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody’s so different, I haven’t changed

They say I’m lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody say oh, yeah) (Oh, yeah)
I keep on going, guess I’ll never know why
Life’s been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah

President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as “great” and tell him they are “all good ideas.”

Wonder why? Any who actually practice journalism get ostracized and kicked off the Press Corp or as was the case with James Rosen, spied on.

I bet these frauds also admire how great your clothes look.

[Buckeye McFrog]

yeah, well, the average reporter in this country these days is to the left of Fidel Castro, so....
