White House Drops ‘News’ from Fox News Placeguards at State of the Union Lunch
National Review Online ^ | 1/20/15 | Brendan Bordelon

It was a subtler snub than the Obama administration’s 2009 claim that Fox News was “a wing of the Republican party.” But that didn’t stop Fox anchor Shepard Smith from calling out the White House for slighting the news network at Tuesday’s State of the Union lunch. Smith spent much of his on-air news hour waxing poetic about the lunch, which President Obama held in order to lay out his policy proposals before a small group of influential news anchors.

Obama is the most petty jackass the WH has ever seen, and that includes LBJ and Carter.

Funny how we independently gravitated to variants of the same word - “petty”.

That’s okay.
I always drop the word, “President,” whenever I say, “Obama.”

Terms like ‘thin-skinned’ and ‘chip on his shoulder’ come to mind...

Or maybe he thinks he’s a black gang banger who’s been disses. Whatever it is, it’s not attractive.

Remember when W first won and all the Clinton staff went around the WhiteHouse, ripping the W off of all the keyboards and door placards?

Next time Fox should write speak at the end of all the other news placards. As in newsspeak. What is that ? Well claiming Yemen was a succes story is newsspeak. Much like Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., etc...

I clicked the link and watched the video. You know it’s a special day - Shepard’s mascara was impeccable.

I’ve been watching FNC all day to confirm their 80% RINO bias, but Shep is just 100% pro-Zero.

Been trying to catch what was on the lunch, foodie that I am..
chicken cacciatore soup? Salad with tomato and sugared bacon? Dessert ala Anna Pavlova (russian ballerina)
