Don Lemon: Why Is Obama ‘Punching Down’ at Fox? ‘Isn’t the President Above That?’
Mediate ^ | January 24th, 2014 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 01/25/2014 6:04:00 AM PST by gooblah

In a recent interview, President Obama called out both Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for putting enough pressure on congressional Republicans to keep them from having a dialogue with them, but CNN’s Don Lemon wanted to know Friday night why exactly the President of the United States is taking shots at conservative media outlets when he should really be above the fray, and, more importantly, whether Obama can “really blame Fox News for his troubles?”

Considering the dork’s intellect, the only thing he can punch down to is a slime mold.

Watch out Don Lemon, your liberal butt is next. Obama will have his Chicago hit men make your life a living nightmare.

Obama punches below his weight. And his waist.

The President is an idiot. He points the finger at anybody but himself.

What do you think? Lemon got a call from Roger Ailes and just as soon as his contract with CNN is up, he becomes the next Juan Williams, Bob Beckel, Shepard Smith?

Not this President.
He will blame everybody and everybody for his dismal failures...everyone except himself, of course. If he’s punching out, that means Fox and Rush are right on and it’s hitting a raw nerve with this egotistical POS.

Yes, the president should be above that. Bush was slammed by the liberal media for 12 years (8 during his terms and 4 after). Did he ever say anything about them as publicly as Obama does about Fox? Nope ... he was above that.

Obama is trying to eliminate any viable opposition. He is playing to win the game.

Go Fox.

But look out for American businesses.

Buy American Fox. Bring back US jobs.

It’s very simple, Don: He is the most un-presidential president in our history.

This is EXACTLY why we’ve always said that he ISN’T FIT/QUALIFIED for this office.

Not even for dog catcher.

The American people made a HUUUUUUUGE goof.

Liberals always need boogie men to, 1. scare their base into voting for them or, 2. to blame for their own failures. Obama is the worst of the worst.

Why?

What else would you expect from the No-Fault President?

He has shown himself to be petty and punitive again and again. Case in point: shuts out vets from war memorials during government shutdown.

Of course, since he has been in the Oval Office, nothing is ever his fault. Heck, half of the stuff that makes the news he never knew about until he saw it on the news. And besides, it was either Bush’s fault or the fault of the Republicans — from Obamacare failure to the government shutdown.

The Media buy it. Much of the rest of America doesn’t.

Don Lemon seems to have undergone some soul-searching recently, and this isn’t the first time he’s deviated from the CNN agenda and left the flock. I’d like to see him on Fox—he’s far smarter and more original than Juan Williams. I cringe every time Juan opens his mouth.
