I guess one of the papers is by the Nation of Islam. That’s why there’s no press coverage.

It’s a hate night.

The president is to receive the award from the federation of black community newspapers in a White House ceremony this afternoon.

Did anyone get a commment from the White community newspapers?

Let’s face it, media: Obama’s just not that into you.

Does he really care about anyone but himself? [The true mark of a narcistic]

Don’t have time to look for link, but a few weeks ago the Washington Press Association, or similar, had a meeting and the Obama spokesperson attending threw out the press.

According to Little Green Footballs:

“The National Newspaper Association, despite its innocuous name, is actually an association of far-left publications that includes “Final Call” — the paper published by Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam: NNPA – Article – member papers.

And that explains why Obama doesn’t want the mainstream press at this award ceremony.”

“I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday,” Obama said in a last-minute press conference today. The candidate said that after watching Wright’s appearance from Monday, “what became clear to me was that he was presenting a world view that contradicts what I am and what I stand for.”

Hmmmm. Is this about barring the press, or is this about barring white folk? Maybe this is what Eric Holder meant when he opined that we are a nation of cowards.

A White House ceremony up until now has had the President awarding something to another person.

This “White House ceremony” is for other persons to award the President.

Reminds me of North Korea. To steal some other commenter’s line,
I caught it in my mouth.

Good catch. Another example of the most narcissistic President ever.

Just like Dodd being a liar. He doesn’t care if everyone knows he lies. He has no morals or sense of shame for being one.

I am so disillusioned – I think they all lie. I want to know who of our legislators really pays an honest tax. Let’s have them all audited! In fact what about the “O”? I know about his sweet heart deal with his property.
The great O is speaking now and someone mentioned that it looked like he was watching a tennis match. Funny it sure does. Is little ugly, rich, anti-American soros behind the screen pulling the levers?

Now, isn’t there some phenomena that Blacks have remarked on about their light skinned companions that made it in the world and would only let their darker skinned family members come to their home under the cover of night? I know I’ve heard this and or read this in many places but can’t cite one now. Of course I’m not pigmentally qualified to make this comment, but I really have to wonder how folks in the ‘hood are going to regard The Half White One closing the doors to the prying eyes of the world when his Brothers and Sisters come calling. Or how those Brothers and Sisters he’s condescended to meet with will regard it. Could be another gaffe, and not necessarily an offense against those locked out of the party.

Someone in the media will eventually make his or her career based on going after Obama. It’s a great career opportunity because no one is doing it yet. And it will be very effective because Obama will never see it coming…

1) No one in the media has the cajones to do this;
2) All journalism courses teach the Woodward & Bernstein philosophy that only Republicans are corrupt;
3) See #1;
4) See #2.

I’d love to see this, but the MSM aided and abetted the big 0 concerning his qualifications or lack thereof for the job.

As far as the Founding Fathers are concerned the MSM is the modern day equivalent of the Anti-Federalists Papers.

I’m thinking Chris Matthews is either:

1. Sitting on the couch, crying, eating Ben & Jerry’s and having himself a Nora Ephron movie marathon;

2. Staring at himself in the mirror, erratically applying copious amounts of makeup and muttering to himself “Who’s a dirty wh*re? YOU ARE! Put on your wh*re makeup!”

3. Laying on the bed, crying softly into a pillow and listening to Morrissey and wondering if he should drunk-dial the White House.
