Mediaite ^ | 12/5/13 | Josh Feldman

As President Obama wrapped up his conversation with Chris Matthews at American University, he took a swipe at the partisan media for dividing the country and making compromise more difficult. Obama said being the Commander-in-Chief for so long “makes you humbler, as opposed to cockier,” and compared himself to Sisyphus, rolling the boulder up the hill for eternity with little success. He spoke of how enthusiastic young people encourage him and give him confidence, only for the media to take that enthusiasm and use it to divide people. “The American people are good and they are decent, and yes, sometimes

Sissy Puss.

Obama speaks of divisive media and does it the media network that advocated defacting on Sarah Palin because she had an opposing point of view!

So after MSNBO lets Martin Bashir go after a mysoginistic slur, The Obamessiah blesses the network by a personal appearance with his favorite bromance?

Firing Bashir was probably one of the conditions of Zippys appearance.

Right out of the leftist playbook: Accuse your political enemies of the exact thing you are guilty of doing.

Every GD time!

FNC interviewed Jesse Jackson this evening concerning the death of Nelson Mandela(I guess because Jesse and Nelson both had a love of democracy?).

At any rate, Jesse referred to Nelson and MLK as being transformative leaders of their time. The tie to Obamalopolis has been made. By the time 2016 comes around, anyone voicing the opinion that Odumbo should leave office will be cause to label the owner of said opinion a racist in an attempt to marginalize that individual.

I think that an attempt will be made to extend the boy King’s time in office without an election. Jesse has warned us.

The fact that Soetoro showed up on the cable freak channel, MSNBC, demonstrates just how seriously the boy takes the “news”. He wants propaganda, not the truth.

You're right... He chose Chris Matthews... that tells us what we need to know. Even a New York Times reporter would have asked more probing questions.

I wonder just how much more is going to have to happen for everybody to realize this creep is just plain insane?

He is paranoid, psycotic, sociopathic and narcisistic all rolled into one basket case of insanity.

Obama makes another slick move.
Attack the press as divisive, I’m sure they’ll
love that. Way to fail Barak but it suits you.

Important to say? This assho_e is in our face every damn day. We’d go for weeks without hearing a word form Bush or Congress even with a war going on.

Holy crap! This guy is really out of his mind! He has some serious mental problems. Keep the pressure and ridicule going, he will crack up soon.

“and compared himself to Sisyphus”

Ha! I read that as: “and compared himself to syphilis.” That I would agree with because he is a pain in the ______!

The most partisan, dividing, polarizing preezy of the steezy ever.

Divide and Splinter...That sounds good to me.

I’d prefer tossed to the four winds, but divide and splinter, I’ll take it.
