Only now -- five years into his presidency -- are we seeing some cracks in the protective shield surrounding President Obama, and then only after the abuse of reporters' privacy has been threatened. Mainstream journalists have not scrutinized his controversial policies, nor have they held him accountable for questionable actions that have caused outrage among fair-minded critics and produced irreparable harm to the nation.
Some facts are irrefutable, but the president has, by and large, deflected all blame and few in the media have dared question his policies and actions. Investor's Business Daily reports that we are becoming a welfare state. The Census Department reported this week that almost half (49 percent) of Americans (151 million) are on federal aid. The U.S. has spent nearly $4 trillion ($3.7) on welfare over the past five years -- that is five times greater than the money spent on transportation, education, and NASA, combined. Further, more than 70 percent of all federal spending goes to assistance programs, and the Congressional Budget Office projects that welfare spending will rise 80 percent over the next decade. Even with all that spending, though, 46.5 million Americans live in poverty and nearly half of all Americans pay absolutely no federal income tax. It doesn't take an economics genius to realize that with the nation's debt at $17 trillion and with more than $50 trillion in unfunded liabilities, we are in deep economic trouble. In short, the buck stops with President Obama when it comes to assessing blame for "the weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history."

It took a while did it not?
“It took a while did it not?”
The mainstream media will tout his false accomplishments long after this affirmative action dope who took 30 pieces of silver to further impoverish this country (especially blacks) is moldering in a grave.
So, the sharp crease in his pants has become a little wrinkled now.
maybe when these reporters are laid off - put on part-time without benefits - and their families suffer - then maybe - they will finally get it...
US News = more traitors!
These idiots think that when everything collapses they can stand out inf the street and report the news thinking they won’t be the FIRST ones targeted by the mobs!
Thought that blond in Cairo being raped was bad - just wait News...when all hell breaks loose - you’d better be in Europe or run away to Russia!
Does anyone here remember the movie “The Running Man” with Arnold S. In the movie the Media literally lived in a modern Ivory Tower and the masses lived out on the street or in wrecked buildings. And if one of the media made a misstep they were ‘outed’ as subversives and anarchists and were literally thrown to the ‘wolves’ to be killed as soon as possible.
It may take some time but I think that life is starting to resemble art in this case. I wonder if the media realizes that and fights back before they can’t fight at all.
“... and then only after the abuse of reporters’ privacy has been threatened.”
Whew. Editor!
Right.
An MSM ‘journalist’ would rather shove a pen knife in his/her eye than admit they backed the wrong horse.
They’re SO drunk and oblivious on their religion of ‘progressivism’ that they could watch “O” murder the Pope on Times Square and spin it for the administration, SOMEHOW!
I think the MSM lies for this tyrant out of fear of being Breitbarted or slamming their Mercedes into a tree after being hit by a drone missile.
The Media has a lot to answer for. But their disgusting complicity in this destroys any credability they had.
POTUS Obama ruthlessly used a Florida black on black episode where a black hispanic security guard named George Zimmerman was forced to shoot an adult sized black teen attacker 17 year old Trayvon Martin .
This occured in a secured mixed race modest means housing complex. Martin who never was approached or contronted by Zimmerman was killed when he attacked the unsuspecting security guard as he was returing to his vehicle. Martin was shot once during a struggle over the guards gun as he was pounding Zimmerman’s head on a cement walk where Zimmerman lay begging for help managed to get his gun first and shot his attacker.
The racism charge resulted from and was led by none other than The President of The United States Obama. Who considering sundry socialist communist objectives saw an opportunity to politicize the event and strike out against stand your ground gun control defence and promote and advance Stalinist type housing collectives which was done through subsequent statements refering to the episode released by HUD..
Neither of which had anything to with the episode where Obama used the full force of governemnt to stop a losing base among black supporters. Including permitting his Attorney General use black separatists circulate inflamatory material threaten lives based on lies perpetuated by them (media).
With the complicity of the regimes slavish devotion of the print and visual media as its propaganda arm they created a race war. It was declared when the POTUS (president of the United States) announced Martin the attacker ,of a black hispanic security guard George Zimmerman was a “victim”; Obama insisted to a compliant NBC, the attacker “(he) could have been my (his) son” and then subsequently proffered on CNN another cable venue claiming to report “news” “That could have been me”. Thus sacrificing a supporter, Zimmerman, for the benefit of the socialist collective.good..
Trayvon became a cause celeb. “Zimmerman became a white hispanic””The area he patrolled owned by rich jews” Trayvon was”a victim.”Stalked” “ Murdered in cold blood because he was black”” depicted as a 12 year old kid” “All duly reported and embellished upon to the point of hysteric hyperbole by the MSM and promoted by black publications throughout the counrty.The hyperbolic racist reporting are believed as facts by blacks particularly youths Each of the individual visual media alphabet soups ABC,CBS,MSNBC,CNN and NBC ,were falling all over each other curryring favor with the regime with their own particular “spin”. Contriubuting to the racial strife which is leading to killing of whites and hispanics because of what they created .
Since then the only distance the media from their reporting or POTUS Obama has made from these developments his been deathly silence-But what has been happening since this episode are continiuous attacks on whites and hispanics by gangs of young blacks often using racial epithets and Martins first name.when committing these crimes ending in deaths or serious injuries.throughout the country.These attacks have been reported locally often sanitized from their racial nature but never reported as a national trend because of the media and regimes complicity in promoting racial division which played a major role in creating the situation.
As of this review silence has also been the response on the part of the political opposition as well.
Does anyone have any doubt how a Republican President would have been treated over this kind of abuse of power?
Every time I read that Zero is finally going to get what is coming to him, I just shake my head in wonderment. The man has been protected from the consequences of his actions since he was a child (assuming you believe that he grew up). That isn't going to change during his Presidency. There will be defenders rehabilitating his record of failure 100 years from now, just like they do with Jimmy Carter (it's admitted harder with JC because the media still sort of did it's job when he was the Pres).
Europe is Eurabia. We’re heading down the drain as fast as the US, EUcrat and Obummer hand in hand.
Stop assistance payments. Work is what made America great. If times are hard, work for less. Work harder and better than the next person. You will rise that way. Do not accept assistance because it weakens you.
‘...ordinary citizen took to Twitter and Facebook’. One of the best places to get a feel for citizen outrage about Obamacare is to go to Healthcare.gov Facebook page. I have it bookmarked and check daily to see when the thing disappears down the memory hole. The King cannot continue to allow the rabble this forum to express their insolence.
The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.
We need to off shore our media to the Brits.
