For over a week now there has been a war of words between FOX News and the White House…..which moron thought this would be a good idea?
Of all the issues that need addressing by the White House….they spend their time swatting at a fly, in this case it is FOX News. The AP has touched on this situation:
White House unhappiness had been building. The president himself said there is “one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration.” Fox’s coverage of health care demonstrations over the summer, former administration official Van Jones and the community activists ACORN clearly knocked the administration off stride.
The White House blog attacked Fox commentator Glenn Beck for “lies.”
Several critics have questioned the wisdom of Obama’s approach.
“Whether or not you like Fox News, all of us in the press need to be concerned about the administration of President Barack Obama trying to `punish’ the cable news channel for its point of view,” wrote television critic David Zurawik in the Baltimore Sun.
The people voted for a man of vision and wisdom….but the kids play that they are doing now….shows neither wisdom nor vision……people voted for change, but somehow this is not what they thought change would look like.
I realize politicians think their sh!t does not stink, but petty name calling and childish little games is not what they should be involved in at this time or for that matter any time. But come on dudes…you are giving their accusations and lies credence when you attack them outright…..do to FOX what you guys do to the people and their wants..IGNORE THEM!
Yeah. It is an invidious position to be in – damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
I guess the best advice for the administration is yours – do what you do to the people and their wants..IGNORE THEM!
I think your point about “somehow this is not what they [people] thought change would look like” is a very good one. But then that’s what I said from the start – the American public missed the opportunity of a generation, perhaps a lifetime, to put a woman in the Whithouse in the form of Hilary Clinton, who I think, as President, would have been a MUCH tougher cookie for the wingnuts to deal with than Obama!
It is morning…,howdy…..Clinton probably would have been a tougher nut….but she had way too much baggage…her hubby……right wingers would have had an even greater motivation to attack and just say NO….Either way it was gonna be a historic election…either a woman or a black man…..
Hillary would most likely continued some of the same policies of the hubby….and if we look back it was the Clinton admin that gave us the economic crisis by eliminating many of the financial regulations……
Would she had been better? We can only speculate….but I have my doubts….
Yup, this has had the (predictable) effect of increasing Fox News’ ratings – the last thing any sane person would want.
Hi again Clint…welcome back….uh huh this whole damn stupid exercise is doing more good for FOX than the Prez….someone needs to have their pee pee whacked…lol
