I’m sorry, but whatever happened to ‘Loyal Opposition’?

According to Sun-Times columnist and long-time Chicago journalist, Carol Marin, journalists at Barack Obama news conferences have come to realize that Obama has pre-picked those journalists whom he will allow to ask him questions at the conference and many of them now “don’t even bother raising” their hands to be called upon.

One wonders why journalists are allowing this corralling of the press? Would they have allowed George W. Bush to pre-pick journalists like that? Would they meekly sit by and allow themselves to be systematically ignored, their freedom to ask questions silenced by any Republican? Would journalists so eagerly vie with one another for the favor of Bush like they are Obama’s?

Narcissists ain’t too good at admitting ignorance.

Let’s roll.

I’ll still watch occasionally (I long ago stopped planning an evening around BO), and I agree with most of his social positions, but when he starts discussing the economy I actually get embarrassed for him and turn it off.

Bill O’Reilly is a “BLOVIATING FOOL”.

No… he’s a BLOVIATING TOOL. I haven’t watched his show since his first Obama interview (i.e., kiss-ass fest). Just another useless piece of MSM crapola! I predict his ratings will start to deteriorate soon since he has proven to be a mirror image of a CNN mouthpiece.

Hannity needs to start his own network. FoxSchmooze is done.

Just to clarify.. Obama never quoted JFK wrong. But his message is recreating a new context and twisting meanings. I know y’all got that I’m sure but didn’t want the lefties pooping their pants about this.

Totally full of his own self-importance.

BillO actually said, “it’s my job to protect the citizens of this country” on tonight’s show! When did we hire him to be our national bodyguard? Pompous ass!

No – what he says is It’s my job to “protect the folks.” Like we’re some dumb idiots who need a self-aggrandizing blowheart to explain things to us.

I used to like BOR until the Geraldo/Malkin dustup when he never called Rivera on his bash but just told both of them to “play nice.” Geraldo was WRONG and BOR should have said so. He now has too much inane drivel that he tries to justify as bringing us the news. If I wanted gossip and smut I could watch the Insider. I also think he spends way too much time hawking his own books.

The fact his show is beating everyone else just shows how really stupid everyone else is.

Obama’s technique is re-defining words and meanings and re-defining history. Unfortunately it’s working on the youth.
He literally has undone JFK’s quote. I was talking to a teen the other day about this very thing and he quoted it in reverse.
Ask not what you can do… blah blah.

He knew the authentic quote when I correctd him by saying oh ya… ya that’s right… but nonetheless in his mind was the Obama version quote. More importantly the Obama context was already ingrained.

The only way Billy can be fed these days is if Barry is given an enema.

LOL!

When populism demands that Oslima be thrown under the bus, Bill will drive the bus.

Far be it from me to defend Bill, but he is looking to the future. He, as most of us knew, that ObaMcCarthy was a shoe in to be elected against McLame the balless coward. He is, as we all should be, giving Oslima enough rope to hang himself. (Which, as we all know, he will) Then he and the rest of us are in a position of moral superiority to criticize that Marxist scum and his militant whitey hating wife.
