Oh and Daniels had to stay home because of the lawsuits over his legislation

Nahh ,he knew the minute he got in, the rabid press would start the drip... drip.. drip.. inuendo and speculations about his marriage and family life .

[talaniman]

Yeah that too! He has a lot of baggage for the press to unpack.

[speechlesstx]

Yeah that too!! He has a lot of baggage for the press to unpack.

Now if they would just start unpacking Obama's baggage.

[talaniman]

What makes you think they haven't. He is the most watched, commented on, and criticized of any President in history. Even more than the last one.

Heck, he even has baggage the right wing gives him to carry.

[speechlesstx]

Nah, the majority of the media gives Obama a pass, and did you miss the Bush years?

[tomder55]

Isn't nothing there. They had problems ;his wife left him ;they reconciled and lived happy ever after .

His wife and family didn't want to get dragged through the mud over a painful past that is under the bridge .

The same people who were willing to give Bill Clintoon a pass for having oral sex in the White House with and intern ;and elected him when his infidelities were well known ,was prepared to slime the Daniels family and drag their children into it like they did to the Palin children.

Because of that one of the most eligible Republican candidates was eliminated before the campaign began.

Yesterday the President told the 10th Mountain Division that he'd given the Medal of Honor to a lving member of the group when in fact he'd given it posthumously .

This was no slip of the tongue or off the cuff comment . It was presumably the end product of a carefully crafted address.
This wasn't him idiotically saying he doesn't speak good Australian ;or speaking of the “Navy Corpse Man” ;or having too much beer at the 'Cinco de Cuatro' celebration.

Who is proof reading his public comments ? Who on his staff is responsible for it ? Who is responsible for factual errors like Hirohito signed the surrender to MacArthur ;or that Texas has traditionally leaned Republican ; or his uncle liberating Auschwitz ,or his parents meeting at a civil rights march in Selma ?

The prevailing opinon by some here has been that Palin is disqualified because her public statements have gaffes and occasional dysfluency . Does the President's factual errors and mistatements, which carry much more weight ,get a pass,when what the President says becomes defacto policy ?

Could it be that he is so guarded that his statements do not go through the same perusal that most Presidents have from their staff ? Does his speeches get distributed around the WH for comment ;or is he insulated among a Nixonian shrinking inner circle ?
During the 2008 campaign his message and image was polished . The problem is that he has not been able to keep up the Corinthian column façade . Over time the truth has been revealed .

Yes that is incredibly damning evidence. Good research!

Nah, the majority of the media gives Obama a pass,

Hello again, Steve:

And, the one's who don't can't find anything??

[speechlesstx]

What does giving him a pass mean, ex? They're excusing the man in spite of what they know.

[talaniman]

Why are you mad at the "lame stream media", when you can switch to Fox News, or Rush Limbaugh, and get the FACTS?

Hello again, Steve:

There's those who give him a pass and there's those who DON'T.. I was talking about the one's who DON'T. The ones who are digging as fast as they can - you know, like Brietbart and his minions... How come THEY can't find anything??

Hello again, Steve:

Look... I don't think he's a very good president... But I also don't think he's a Muslim plant, or a commie plant, or a whatever you dodo's think he is.

Mad? Just pointing out the facts doesn't mean one is mad, and I don't use the term "lame stream media." Fox may have the cable ratings but they're a drop in the media bucket. We're talking 3-4 million for FNC prime time to 24 million for the 3 networks, and that doesn't include the other cable news networks and print media. Perspective.

Can't find anything? If they did would it be reported? No. Past performance is indicative of future results.

[excon]

If they did would it be reported?

Hello Steve:

No, it wouldn't. Brietbart, Hannity and the Limp one are ALL in Obama's pocket...

DUDE!

Correct, sadly:
The Failed Corporate Record of George W. Bush

[tomder55]

Fox is too busy vetting the Republican candidates, to determine which one is acceptable to them . They are not acceptable unless they pass the Charles krauthammer/Chris Wallace seal of approval .

[Curlyben]

Enough Already.

Any dangers of acting like ADULTS..

[speechlesstx]

Any chance of allowing legitimate, verifiable, factual posts stand? Or is it too politically incorrect to repeat the news?
