Jay Leno on Obama (H/T: USS Neverdock):
Jay Leno, above, is laughing at Obama’s attack on Fox News. The President and his administration are showing the citizenry, at large, how vulnerable, how thin skinned they really are.
As the San Diego Union Tribune says:
Not only is it dangerous and wildly inappropriate for the White House — any White House — to start compiling enemies lists, it’s also not very smart. Government should not make a habit of insulting and isolating a major news organization. Better to just ignore whatever bothers you. Otherwise, people might get the idea you have a thin skin and that you have something against being asked tough questions.
And the next thing you know, there are tough questions coming from all directions. Earlier this week at the White House press gaggle with reporters, ABC News’ Jake Tapper tore into White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. Tapper wanted to know why the administration thought it was appropriate to single out a specific news organization as inauthentic and then invite everyone to pile on in an attempt to marginalize critics. Gibbs couldn’t come up with a good answer, and he frankly seemed surprised at the question. After all, isn’t ABC News part of the club? Why would one of its reporters defend the opposition instead of just going along? The best that Gibbs could do was to insist that this was the White House opinion and it was sticking by it.
Gibbs couldn’t come up with a good answer, and he frankly seemed surprised at the question. After all, isn’t ABC News part of the club? Even “members of the club” are getting fed up with the cardboard Messiah they themselves created.
Bravo to Tapper. But shame on the White House. It’s behavior is outrageous and petty. It can’t win this battle, and it should never have engaged the fight. It’s time to stop picking on Fox News, and start showing some maturity. Freedom of the press is not something to be trifled with — especially when it makes the powerful uncomfortable.
Freedom of the press is not something to be trifled with — especially when it makes the powerful uncomfortable. Ah, but these bunch are learning from Hugo Chavez how they should treat the Press. Freedom of Speech is something this administration has no use for, just like that malodorous piece of Devil’s excreta down in Venezuela!
Did GWB attack ABC, CBS or NBC over the many unfounded attacks? About their warped opinions passed off as facts? No, neither did Presidents before Dubya. They took their lumps and continued with their work. Obama, however, needs to distract us from his failures, he needs to hide the important issues. The Great Unifier is nothing more than a Great Divider. Why? By creating diversions, by dividing the country into factions, by reopening old wounds, he hopes we won’t notice his ineptitude, his lack of any ability that may qualify him for the job he holds. All the while his puppet masters – Pelosi, Reid and especially Rahm Emanuel (under the direction of George Soros) – continue destroying the country with their elitist (but utterly bankrupt) ideas of what is best for us. “Best” for us, but not for them!
It’s interesting how some of those who shielded Obamessiah, who overlooked and hid his faults, who slanted their “reporting” to pushed him as a candidate are now coming out against him. The New York Times has started to show some discomfort with their hero Obama – as did various other prestigious members of the MSM – it’s becoming all too obvious that disenchantment is starting to set in.
Even someone as left wing a publication as The Washington Independent noticed:
…the President has made lots of hopeful promises about a new transparency and accountability in government. He has yet to follow up on them.
The President has made lots of hopeful promises about a new transparency and accountability in government. The sad reality, however, shows this administration as the most secretive in recent history. No transparency exists and every loophole that might allow something to be hidden is readily used.
His big chherleader, Ariana Huffington, over at The Huffington Post writes:
tragic for the rest of us — both in terms of what hasn’t been accomplished, and in terms of how much more misery it will lead to down the road. Misery that is avoidable — if only Barack Obama would stop acting like a pundit, egging on change from the sideline, and start acting like the president, dictating the game from the middle of the field.
if only Barack Obama would stop acting like a pundit, egging on change from the sideline and start acting like the president. Actually Ariana, he’s merely paying lip service to change, as The Washington Independent noted, the promised transparency hasn’t been delivered. His plans so far can only bring further misery. And that will only make Pelosi and company that much more powerful while Soros can only get richer on the backs of lowly taxpayers like you and I, gentle reader.
Americans, in general, are deserting the Democrats in droves. From the UK’s Telegraph:
Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years
The decline in Barack Obama’s popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.
Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62 per cent he recorded from April.
His current approval rating – hovering just above the level that would make re-election an uphill struggle – is close to the bottom for newly-elected president. Mr Obama entered the White House with a soaring 78 per cent approval rating.
The bad polling news came as Mr Obama returned to the campaign trail to prevent his Democratic party losing two governorships next month in states in which he defeated Senator John McCain in last November’s election.
Jeffrey Jones of Gallup explained: “The dominant political focus for Obama in the third quarter was the push for health care reform, including his nationally televised address to Congress in early September.
“Obama hoped that Congress would vote on health care legislation before its August recess, but that goal was missed, and some members of Congress faced angry constituents at town hall meetings to discuss health care reform. Meanwhile, unemployment continued to climb near 10 per cent.”
Governor Jon Corzine of New Jersey is in severe danger of defeat while Democrats are fast losing hope that Creigh Deeds can beat his Republican opponent in Virginia. Twin Democratic losses would be a major blow to Mr Obama’s prestige.
Campaigning for Mr Corzine in Hackensack on Wednesday night, Mr Obama delivered a plea that almost seemed as much for himself as the local candidate: “I’m here today to urge you to cast aside the cynics and the sceptics, and prove to all Americans that leaders who do what’s right and who do what’s hard will be rewarded and not rejected.”
Mr Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs executive and multi-millionaire, is currently running even in New Jersey, which is normally comfortably Democratic, while Mr Deeds is trailing badly in Virginia, a swing state that was key to Mr Obama’s 2008 victory.
Mr Obama is also facing widespread criticism for his drawn-out decision-making process over what to do next in Afghanistan.
Republicans sense Mr Obama is in a vulnerable position and this week saw the return to the public stage of his perhaps most vehement opponent – Vice-President Dick Cheney.
In a blistering speech on Wednesday night, he accused Mr Obama of failing to give Americans troops on the ground a clear mission or defined goals and of being seemingly “afraid to make a decision” about Afghanistan “The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger,” Cheney said at the Center for Security Policy in Washington.
“Make no mistake, signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries.”
He hit out at Obama aides who suggested that the Bush administration had failed to weigh up conditions in Afghanistan properly before committing troops.
“Now they seem to be pulling back and blaming others for their failure to implement the strategy they embraced. It’s time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity.”
The People are starting to open their eyes, beginning to realize the new deity is not divine. He’s merely a very flawed individual devoid of ideas, lacking in qualifications and simply a charlatan who can’t even get his facts or his numbers straight. Just another politician. Pity!
