Obama Takes Media to Task for Coverage of Racial Controversy, Wilson – FOXNews.com — He wants more civility. Nothing outrageous like shooting off your mouth abnout Harvard cops or calling a singer a “jackass” to get a cheap laugh. Oh, wait that’s what he did. So what is he talking about?
Diplomat. Financial regulator. Cheerleader. Doctor. President Obama’s worn all these hats since taking office. Now he’s assuming a new role: media critic. The president of the United States used the Sunday morning talk shows to broadly scold the news media for playing up what he called “rude” and “outrageous” political comments, and urge the 24-hour news networks to consider giving more of a platform to those who demonstrate decency and civility.
President Reagan did the exact same thing.
It’s what Presidents do.
The slow collapse of Obama’s domestic agenda has got to be deeply frustrating given the president’s own high regard for his own abilities. For the first time in the last 3 years or so, people just aren’t buying what he is selling and it will be interesting to see if he is so full of himself to think he can talk his way out of it.
But what the left should recognize is that, even as George Bush’s domestic ambition to be the “education president” was upended by the realities of their entrenched leftist bureaucracy and unions unwilling to do anything for that particular president, so too does his agenda have to yield to the average (no matter how much it disgusts the left) “Walmart” American. When/if this impression (the correct one IMO) comes out, Obama will have real problems. But nothing gives me the impression that the hard left gets any of this, will Obama?
Good commentary from Christian Science Monitor (csmonitor.com/2009/0918/p09s02-coop.html):
“Washington – In recent years, our family has traveled cross-country, visiting 37 states and countless museums, landmarks, and parks. Our dream was to expose our children to amazing educational experiences.
I didn’t realize, however, that a rare opportunity to stay in a ritzy hotel in Washington this summer would also be exposing them to elitism at its core.
In our tourist attire, we stood out like sore thumbs. Women in polished high heels and impeccable coiffures swept past. I looked down at my rumpled sweater, Wal-Mart jeans, and $11 tennis shoes. Where did a no-frills mother of four boys fit? Was the world really divided between power suits and ponytails – insiders and outsiders?”
If you are on the left and you don’t understand what she’s talking about above, you will do so at your own peril.
Yea they should have focused on substance. Like why is Obama telling Spanish audiences he doesn’t like the term ‘illegal immigrant’?
FOXNews?
Every time I wander past, the pile of shit has grown higher.
I sure hope you’re geting more hits with Guilherme Cherman’s formula of dirty tricks, including moronic headlines.
Poorly translated from Guilherme Cherman’s so-called book to make money off your blog:
13. Headlines intriguing. The more striking and flashy title is better, but I learned early on that lie in exchanging links does not work cheap.
For example, “China accuses Google of being too pornographic” is rather than “China criticizes Google for publishing obscene information, but not better than “Google is now a porn site. Come now!”.
How about:
Obama Takes Media to Task — Demands Happy News!
Now there’s an excellent FOXNews, Guilherme Cherman headline. It’s totally imaginary and highly inflammatory.
Good one, if you’re just a dumb teenager who doesn’t comprehend even the concept of ethics.
You know after reading the all the comments, its obvious that the left is terrified on fox news aren’t they? Why would they talk about them in every other paragraph if they weren’t?
They will come up with excuses why of course, but everyone knows the truth. They are scared of Fox, its something they can’t control, and something they can’t shut down. They still haven’t gotten use to having total control of tv media.
Fox is to Obama and the Dems, what george soros and moveon.org were to George Bush and the Republicans.

Obomba wasn’t on Fox and all you have to do is listen for 30 seconds and you would notice he went on all the big networks to do one thing, whine. He isn’t getting his way so boo fucking hoo.
Cry me a river Obomba. I’m surprised he hasn’t forced Soros to start an All Obomba All the Time Channel for that fucking ego of his.
WoW! That girl in the Pic is CUTE!!
Does this mean that Obama really IS a “Long legged MAC DADDY!”
..and to think, we have listen to this egomaniac for another 3+ years at the minimum..

jcj7161, good insight
Obviously…we still have a Country full of racists in both “wings”…however many of you voted for Obama for the simple reason that we previously had a simple President….pure and simple…………if you want to say that we have the lesser of the two evils…we ALL still have the responsibility to support him for his term. We put up with Bush…such as he was, now we have a President with at least 100 points more IQ than Bush. Let history prove him out….
