The media made him, now they can sit back and observe the wreckage as it’s created. The American media contains some of the most narrow, dull but arrogant people on the globe. Duh Chuck Todd, you’ve been used.

So buy a gross of “Own It” buttons. Every time someone complains to you about anything ask that person who he voted for. If it was Obama hand him a button. Send a care package of them to your local newspaper, if it is still publishing. Laugh.

Chuck, honey, you were merely a means to an end. Obama has never been asked nor has answered any question in any real way from before he was a senator. He’s not going to start now.

But then again you really don’t have any serious questions to ask either, so doesn’t it all even out in the end? It’s not like you’d follow one up with any sort of investigative journalism or the like.

Ergo, what is this guy bitching about? Not being able to get his own face time?

The thing is he's been doing this to the MSM for fouryears. Yet they've been, and continue, keeping his behind covered with their faces.

Let me see if I can round up a bit of sympathy for them. Nope, just couldn't do it.

Worst of all he can say this and still not get it. This tiny little complainant he has made won’t even penetrate his own thick skull. “Gee wiz and golly, sometimes my make believe boyfriend isn’t the greatest ever.” I guess if he keeps being so mean you won’t love him with all your heart and soul. Yea, that is how to earn your pay and show some spine. NOT!

I hold the MSM responsible for every rotten thing that has or will occurred from the time Obama began campaigning in 2007 until he finally leaves office.

The MSM is the #1 enemy of all Americans.

Followed closely by Obama and his ilk. But O’s damage would not be possible without the MSM covering for him, actively campaigning for him, contributing to him, smearing his opponents, and suppressing unfavorable news. They’ve gone from fair (maybe at some distant point in the past, if you’re generous) to biased, to cheerleaders, to attack dogs, to treasonous.

They deserve every bit of contempt they get. They’ve lost the respect of Americans, probably never had it from Obama, and have shown they have no self-respect.

Too bad the media doesn’t take the “we made you, we’ll break you” attitude toward Zero. Just let him know that if he doesn’t make himself more accessible to the media, then they will have no choice but to get off their knees, roll their tongues back into their heads, wipe up and start digging into some of these scandals/deaths/coverups/terrorist attacks, etc that plague this administration.

Obamuh doesn’t care. He doesn’t have to run for re-election. He’s gonna try to get away with everything he can now. Screw the libturd slimestreamers anyway, but screw ‘em if they’re too stupid to see that they’ve been played all along and are still being played by Emperor Obamuh. Maybe they’ll wake up and decide to get even by starting to tell the truth about him, just like all the takers who voted for Santa Claus who will soon be singing the blues when the gravy train derails.

My heart bleeds for the poor guys. Well, actually, no it doesn’t. Cynically, their discomfort will be a pleasure to me. Might as well have something to smile about in this disaster. Please keep the stories of layoffs in blue states and instances of buyers’ remorse from Obama voters coming. I’m sad about the collateral damage to the economy and ordinary citizens but some lessons just have to be learned the hard way.

I knew I had read something before that reminded me of this arrangement with the press. I found the following at: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/324600#ixzz2Bl9Sx3UL

“Temporary wives are women who participate in a limited time marriage in return for monetary compensation. This can vary from being a genuine, but temporary, marriage through to arrangements that last only a couple of hours to provide a form of legalised prostitution.”

[Read more: What is a "temporary wife"? | Answerbag]

This seems to be a fairly accurate description of the MainStreamMedia. Perhaps most of the “reporters” now have a better idea of what that Columbian woman experienced at the hands of the Secret Service.

If things don’t change for him, he’s gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she’s gonna treat him like sh!t because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end all be all of human existence. She won’t respect him, because you can’t respect somebody who kisses your a$$. It just doesn’t work. -Ferris Bueller

I would suggest that the WH PC think about hobbies that they can accomplish at their desks in the Press Room, such as fly-tying, scrimshaw, or macrame.
Posing questions, and noting the answers, will not be an activity that they will be engaged in for some time.
