The Obama Watch
Can the Press Rescue Obama?
Already on day two they were busily trying.
(Page 3 of 3)
“Romney zinger: Obama backs ‘green’ energy losers. Is he right?” Laurent Belsie, Christian Science Monitor.
“Romney tries to Solyndraize Tesla Motors, calling it a ‘loser.’” David Herron, Torque News. (Yes, the liberal tilt in the media goes right down to the level of Torque News.)
David Axelrod’s appeal is obviously not falling on deaf ears. Just for good measure, the Hill published a gloating report that “polls show the majority of voters are unfamiliar with Solyndra.”
So maybe with a little help from the press Obama can fight back on the matter of green subsidies? Well, I’d be careful. There are treacherous waters here.
Take the Tesla, the supposed green energy success story. The Tesla is a luxury sports car whose cheapest model sells for $50,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit. Other models go for as high as $84,000. How is Obama going to look when he starts defending that investment? Or how about the Fisker, which was actually manufactured in Finland and sold its first imported model to Leonardo DiCaprio before the company gave up on a production plant in Delaware? Fisker got a $529 million loan guarantee from the federal government, only $6 million less than Solyndra. The Fisker sells for $102,000. How’s that going to stack up when the President starts talking about “tax benefits for the rich”?
Frankly, I think there’s only one thing that Romney hasn’t done yet in the debate. At some point he should look voters in the eye and say, “I solemnly promise that if elected President I will not blame anything that happens during my administration on my predecessor standing right here. On that you have my word.”
Let’s see the press try to punch its way out of that one.

You can't erase everything these days -- people keep records and don't rely on their memories anymore. On the other hand, Orwell was an optimist. Just tell people often enough that something didn't happen, and pretty soon it didn't, even if you can show him photos and news stories to prove that it did. "You are a liar (and a racist)," will be the answer.

I almost pity Obama. Almost. OK, not really. He has chosen to surround himself with a certain type of people and embrace the hate. It was apparent in 2008, and more people are starting to notice.
Joellen| 10.5.12 @ 7:00AM
I dont nor ever will pity Obama and his ilk. They are out to destroy America and when we win in November that does not mean the war is over, just the battle. They are ingrained in our country; schools, media, hollyweird, government, and even our religion, they are not going to go away quietly. The media will continue to work for their agenda and the only way we can stop that is to stop buying their periodicals. I stopped years ago. I still get calls to come back and always respond "ill buy your paper when you start printing the facts and not your agenda". I've even had the Editor call, but he gave up because I gave it to him with facts, the fool tried to argue but eventually he gave up. I tell you all, I despise the media as much as I despise the leftist politicians.

If we are to take seriously the Chris Matthews meltdown on Wednesday night, he was essentially admitting that they are not journalists, they are ideologues attempting to lead the administration in their direction (with significant success). Unfortunately for MSNBC, the viewers get a vote, and MSNBC loses in every time slot whenever ratings are tabulated (just as liberals pretty much lose evry time they run on their true agendas).

Tingles was a speechwriter for Jimmy Carter, then he worked for Tip O'Neill. During 90's he had a cable show where he attacked Bubba constantly over the Lewisnky and other Bubba scandals too numerous to mention.

Obama doesn’t need Candy Crowley to help him get reelected. Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly did just fine last night resurrecting the 47% issue.
DRA2012| 10.6.12 @ 6:09AM
If you actually listen to what Romney said, you can understand why it wasn't raised as an issue. The truth is Romney was scolding his supporters when he said that given that 47% of American adults don't PAY any Federal income taxes, pledges to lower taxes aren't going to be of any benefit. He went on to say that they needed to find some other way to help the poor.
It's just another example of Romney's clarity of vision - everyone else seems to be stuck in the mantra "Lower Taxes, Lower Taxes" w/out realizing it has no appeal to the lower-income voters!
BTW, it's more than obvious that the alphabet networks are giving the Progressives hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising - aren't there laws against excessive direct donations to political candidates? When are some of these folks going to start being prosecuted?

I’ll tell you exactly who Benny is. He is a 67-year-old mechanical engineer who has worked in industry for 49 years. He received his engineering degree by going to night school and paid his own way. He has worked for 13 different companies and has never seen the inside of an unemployment office. He is presently operating his own company and has been in business for 12 years. And he did build it.
He has followed politics since being in high school in 1959. In 1966, when it came time to register to vote, he went directly to the Republican table to sign up. His parents were not happy, being democrats and hailing from the coal mining region of Pennsylvania.
When his friends were out drinking or soaking cigars on a Sunday afternoon in the mid 60’s, he was home watching William F. Buckley on Firing Line. He is a subscriber to a number of conservative periodicals and a follower of conservative talk radio. He is a card-carrying member of the Tea Party and has an empty chair on his front lawn and it will be there until the Marxist is removed from the WH.
I know Benny. Benny is a friend of mine and he doesn’t appreciate the “troll” remark.
When you call yourself a conservative, you don’t give the opposition gasoline to throw on the fire, as Sean Hannity did.

The "low down" president can't make such mistakes? Right? He has to be a fine, upstanding, forthright president. After all, he's come a long way since being an agitator on the streets of Chicago. The USA elected this person, now it's time to un-elect him. Got that-America? The newsmedia has been shown to be a 4 year old with total domination over America's opinion, and it's political ways. Sure, they're in damage control mode, and will remain so until Nov. But the truth is out. Obama is a scare crow, a man with no inkling as to what makes America tick, and should be thrown out with the garbage. Maybe, just maybe, we at last have a notion of the power the Conservatives have. Individual freedom is at stake here. Let no one falter.

I pray they do work to protect Obama even more. It's been evident to me for a long time Obama cannot handle the truth. He intimidates reports or messengers who dare to question him/policies and has removed press passes of "tough" reporters. While attending U of Chicago, a fellow student said Obama refused to associate with anyone who did not share his political views. Odd he thought considering Obama wanted to teach. Understanding the opposition is the only way to debate them. The MEDIA refused to vet Obama and now they are stuck with the fruits of that omission. The few available written pieces Obama produced while law review Prez shows he cannot make his nouns and verbs agree. That should have been a warning. But when ideology and skin color collide the MEDIA is incapable of making a reasoned choice. Watching the MEDIA suffer-wailing, weeping, gnashing of teeth is sweet. They have no one but themselves to blame. They have so long used racism as a weapon to silence opposition, it is fitting they must now look on, impotently, silenced by ther own rubrics.

Breaking news: It's not going to help Purp. It comes across as a desperate, dishonest ploy to damage control his loss on Wednesday.
It's like a kid smashing a window with a baseball and his father grounding him so he can't go to a rock concert the next day and him coming home with a report card and proclaiming to his father: "Look dad! I got straight A's! Can I go now?"
If I was that kid's dad, I'd be on the phone with the principle AND the teachers to verify that A because it looks mighty suspicious.
But that story has a flaw. The report card doesn't have straight A's. It has straight D's. 7.8% unemployment rate is STILL terrible. It only highlights that for the rest of Obama's term, after spending a trillion on stimulus dollars for windmills from China, that he could only break 8% just now. So no need to call the teacher. Just say that straight D's is still awful, he broke the window, and he's still in hot water.

Anyone can filch numbers and its still an entire point higher than Bush's worst unemployment numbers. Even with the filching, it shows that two-thirds of these jobs are part-time. Our labor participation rate is still one of the lowest in our nation's history right now.
PolishKnight| 10.5.12 @ 10:32AM
In a bad economy it's possible for some people to be working 2 part-time jobs (or even more) so it's probably just a fraction of that. I personally tell people that they're better off staying on unemployment than working two part-time jobs. Yes, I know that goes against our "free market" economy, blah blah blah, but in a true free market economy an employer should offer a proper full time job rather than two part time jobs and try to exploit a rube to work them.
pogybait| 10.5.12 @ 9:53AM
Dude, this is nothing to rave about. Previous records show that we had a 4.3% in January 2001, peaking at 6.3% in June 2003 and reaching a trough of 4.4% in March 2007....we have had a range of 8.1 for three years...and 7.8 is wonderful?

Von Mises Jr| 10.5.12 @ 10:18AM
Private sector jobs (+104K) and government jobs (+10K) equals 114K Caliban. Extremely weak and should have pushed U3 up, not down.
The alleged 873K is supposedly part-time jobs added and is a mythical trick to get the real 11% U3 rate to look like it is under 8%. They magically found in a survey that previously uncounted people had gotten jobs that they did not count.
So we have gone from not counting 2.5M people who are out of work but not counted for various reasons, to finding almost 900K jobs we didn’t know about. You are either a propagandist, the dumbest MF I ever heard, or both.
The alleged people returning to work are supposed to be part-time perhaps like your troll job or hamburger flipper.

Now it is becoming clear. The real BLS Jobs Report had 114K added. You need more than that to stay even with some 3 million in immigration.
They used the Household Survey that is a limited sample that is then used to project the figure they want. Apparently they applied the correction they created in this household phone poll to then adjust the real BLS numbers that were from employers. Neat trick, but way too obvious.

The 7.8% unemployment rate is a real as your imaginary girl friend. Even some of the whores in the MSM could not swollow that one whole, but of course you did .
If you believe 800,000 new jobs were created in one month, as compared to the past 3 3/4 years, your better keep that suicide hotline number handy, because after Obozo loses, the "REVISED" (real number) will be over 8.2%.

The curtain has been pulled & their true intentions & hopes for this county’s transformation are crystal clear. Their push for Collectivism couldn’t be more evident or disgusting.
No longer can they hide behind their “good intentions” or hopes for “fairness” & “social equality”. For years they have said they stand for “equal rights or opportunities”. They really stand for “equal results”. The media has tried their best to protect & elevate this President to a larger-than-life character by attempting to dumb-down their viewers & demonize the opposition.

That's why I didn't shed a lot of tears when McCain lost. I hated the guy because I perceived him as a traitor who didn't even bother trying to lie to me. He went to a La Raza (The Race) rally and then later blew off conservatives. How many of those La Raza attendees showed up to vote for him? His daughter then bashed conservatives for not voting for him. Yeah, real charming.
It can be argued that the Bushes, senior and GW, did as much damage as Obama but just over a greater period of time. They undermined the Republican brand, sullied and obfuscated what "conservative" meant, and did absolutely nothing to reverse or even significantly slow down the left wing agenda. They put in speed bumps and not very high ones at that to slow the panzers down.
The WORST thing, ironically, for the Democrats would be to win the election. They'll finish trashing the economy and then the Republicans will either need to significantly restructure (get some fresh blood, do some housecleaning) or become irrelevant and I, as one of their base voters, already know what they need to do if they want guys like me to show up.
Romney showed a (little) spunk and look at how it surprised Obama. He's used to nice guys like the Bushes and Doles who "play ball". Imagine what 2016 would be like if someone who has little to lose and everything to gain went up against him.

It is hard for me to believe that obama could do any better in a debate on foreign policy than he did on the topic of the economy.

If anything, obama's "achievements" in that area are more anemic than his economic record.
Let the obama accolyte media do what they will. It has always been a sure bet that this bunch of leftwing lugnuts will shill for the empty suit until forever.
Two years ago I maintained that obama was the worst president since Carter. Today I am confident in proclaiming that he is the worst president in the history of the nation. He is a pathetic, useless weakling with no integrity, no work ethic, and no character.

The unemployment figure of 7.8% is not being touted, it is being defended. The focus of the press is frantically scrambling around justifying the math. They know it is bogus, and they are on defense not the offense an actual reduction of out of work voters would provoke. The workforce standing on the deck of the Titanic as the last life boat pulls away really does not care about the Newfoundland job market.

Until Election Day, the media will be going all-out for Obama. It wouldn't be surprising if they called his performance in the debate a "victory," despite all evidence to the contrary. The fallacy of the all-successful, omnipotent Barack the Inevitable cannot be let go of.
But collectively, November 7 will be a "walk of shame" for the media, when in the light of day they are forced to parade in front of the American public, stockings askew, lipstick smeared, and hair in disarray, and admit they have been in bed with Obama from the very beginning.
Still, they will not change, because the adoration of Barack is not the disease -- it's a symptom. The disease is progressivism and it is terminal.

Uh,
If you recall, the weeks after obama's win in 2008 they DID admit they were in bed with obama but, you see, they understand better than others the short-term memory of the American electorate.
They "look inward" right after general elections, only to start the cycle again for the next election.

Referring to those people as the Press is a misnomer. They are, in fact, the pig media and should always be referenced factually as such.
The American Spectator, National Review, Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh, the 700 Club, and Fox News, etc., are the true Press and media.

PopMedia will have to coexist with the Romney-majority when he's sworn in. . It would be to its detriment to fight the wave.

I doubt that Obama can make a comeback in the next two debates. His narcissistic personality disorder bubble has been popped and he has started to melt just like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz.

Good luck convincing the 70 Million people who saw the debate that they were all hallucinating! The emperor just stepped unto the stage, and every body saw he was wearing his birthday suit! I don't think the media can scrub that image off their retinas!

This is my first time reading "American Spectator"; it definately will not be my last time. I just downloaded the site to my desk top for easy access.
I give "TWO THUMBS UP" for each of the four articles I have read so far; thought provoking, well written and factual as opposed to the usual name calling; allthough I do look forward to some well chosen and unusual slurs about Obummer.

While my opinion of Mitt Romney surged upwards a considerable degree after seeing Mitt render Oubmmer totally helpless. Because of his outstanding performance, I now worry about the next two debates!
The moderators will be well prepared and out for Mitts blood, while doing everything in their power to protect the naked Obummer; any questions from the audience will be pre-approved, and "leaked" to Obummer so that he may be better prepared. I put nothing past the liberal media in their attempts to protect Obummer and destroy Mitt.
I fear the spectacle we are about to witness will go down in history (if we get the chance to write it) as borderline criminal, if not outright criminal, attempts to prevent Mitt from completing any statements where he seems to be gaining a point over the helples Obummer.
It is todays liberal media that poses the greatest threat to America; obummer is merely their tool .
