U.S. Constitution Title: OBAMA RIPS FOX: ‘WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE HOW THE MEDIA REPORTS’ For going on seven years we have learned three things about President Obama: 1) He loves the poor so much he continues to create more of them. 2) He loves the poor so much he does everything in his power to keep them poor. 3) He doesn’t see the opposition as loyal, but as bad players — his enemy. This is especially true of Fox News, which Obama ripped as anti-poor bigots during a Wednesday afternoon summit on poverty. We’re used to this Obama, the forever-partisan who has never seen himself as president of all the people but only of those who worship him. What was most revealing about the president’s comments was his expressed desire to “change how the media reports.” Speaking of Fox News, the poor, and the way GOP leaders think, Obama said, [W]e’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues.” Here is the full transcript: I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And look, it’s still being propagated. I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant venue. They will find folks who make me mad. I don’t know where they find them. They’re all like, “I don’t want to work. I just want a free Obama Phone, or whatever.” And that becomes an entire narrative that gets worked up. And very rarely do you hear an interview of a waitress, which is much more typical — who is raising a couple of kids and doing everything right but still can’t pay the bills. And so, if we’re going to change how Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)40% and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)54% think, we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like. And how budgets connect to that. And that’s a hard process because that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly news. After seven failed years, to watch Obama sit there and discuss the poor as though he is part of the solution and not the problem, is laughable. And let’s not forget that Obama knows nothing about poverty. He has lived a privileged life. Obama attended prep schools as a child, lived with his well-to-do grandparents in Honolulu as a teen, where he attended Panahou, a fancy private school. Both of his grandparents were well educated; she even worked as the vice president of a bank. For a time, Obama had a nanny! From there Obama attended Occidental College in California, was well off enough to visit Pakistan for 3 weeks; he then attended two of the most prestigious colleges in the country: Columbia and Harvard. The closest Obama has ever come to experiencing anything close to poverty was during his time as a community organizer in Chicago. And in that dynamic, the poor were just pawns for Obama to manipulate to achieve his political ambitions. Obama knows nothing of struggle, or what life is like for those who do. And after 7 years of his failed economic policies, we also know he doesn’t give a damn enough about the poor to change his policies in a way that might actually help them. Obama likes poor people fine — he likes them dependent on the government. He also likes the news media to do what it’s told. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest He's such a hypocrite. He wouldn't give a poor person the time of day . Given the choice ,you'll always see him hob-knobbing with the elites ;his preferred associations Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? #2. To: out damned spot (#0) Ya, he'd love that - the traitorous POS. Gotta close down that freedom of speech BS!......./sarc
#3. To: out damned spot (#0) OBAMA RIPS FOX: ‘WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE HOW THE MEDIA REPORTS’ Another proponent of free speech --meaning the entire world should have the freedom to agree with me.
#4. To: rlk (#3) You nailed it! http://www.tedcruz.org #5. To: out damned spot (#0) Obola cited the Obamaphone woman from Detroit, saying that even he hated her. Given that he likes the giveaways, what he doesn't like is someone reporting the facts if the results are remotely negative to his giveaway programs.
#6. To: out damned spot (#0) "Here is the full transcript:" No, that's not the full transcript. It omits Obama's false premise at the beginning: "But part of it has also been -- there’s always been a strain in American politics where you’ve got the middle class, and the question has been, who are you mad at, if you’re struggling; if you’re working, but you don’t seem to be getting ahead. And over the last 40 years, sadly, I think there’s been an effort to either make folks mad at folks at the top, or to be mad at folks at the bottom. And I think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leaches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction." Class warfare, pure and simple. Get folks mad at the 1% or get them mad at the parasites. Either one's better than them being mad at the true source of their misery -- the federal government.
#7. To: out damned spot (#0) I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. Feeding the animals causes dependency. Don't feed the animals. Why does O'bunghole not realize that generational welfare is growing... Why would the lowest quality citizens work when they can survive without? Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
