White House slams Glenn Beck on blog
The Hill ^ | 9/30/09 | Eric Zimmermann

Posted on 09/30/2009 2:54:11 PM PDT by Nachum

The official White House blog slammed Glenn Beck today, accusing the host of displaying a "disregard for the facts in an attempt to smear the Administration's efforts to win the Olympics for the United States."

Last night, the conservative firebrand attacked the President for lobbying hard to get the 2016 Olympics to come to Chicago.

Today, the White House released a point by point rebuttal of some of Beck's statements.

Here's an example from the post, which is titled, "Trying to Turn a Point of Pride into a Moment of Shame":

Called-out directly by the White House? Brilliant. Pure ratings gold for Beck.

They sure swallowed that one hook, line, and sinker.

I once read something along the lines of (your power is known by the power of your enemies..) If the white house goes after Beck, they must see him as powerful..

Obama couldn't win a kewpie doll at the state fair, let alone a lucrative Olympic venue for corrupt Chicago. This issue was decided before nothing's plane will take off.

As I stated on another thread today the more time this imitation president spends jetting about the less chance of his doing further injury to our nation.

Obama is such a lightweight.

I would like to see him have to go thru what Sarah Palin went thru.

I guarantee you he would’ve flipped out long ago.

The narcissist can’t handle anything but praise from blind followers.

Brit Hume said it best last night on his former show, “A lot of people feel that Obama is simply running an errand for Mayor Daley and they aren’t going to change their minds on that.”

So Beck's “lying” crime was to mistakenly refer to “Vancouver” (2010) rather than “Montreal” (1976)?

- or did he just say Canada without being specific enough to suit the white house?

Has any other president tried to secure the Olympics deal? And as some has said he is not the mayor of Chi town but the president of the USA.

Beck’s program today was pretty much zeroed in on this aspect....and he just signed off, noting that tomorrow he’s going to demonstrate why Chicago should not be awarded the games.

It’s going to very embarrassing for Obama, Michelle, and Oprah if they can’t deliver the Olympics to Chicago. And it’s going to be even funnier if they do get it and when the Olympics come President Palin is welcoming them.

What was it that Chris Wallace called the bunch at the White House...oh yes, crybabies! I can’t believe a President or his administration “stoops” to take on the media, all they’ll end up doing is boosting the ratings of Beck, just like Rush’s ratings saw a surge when the White House demonized him.

Obama has nothing in his "win" column; he's resorting to minor league politics to score a point.

Glenn is correct about the Olympic host cities--it usually ends up costing the taxpayers more to throw the Olympics than they see in a return. But I'm sure the local movers/shakers make some nice coin, and that's what's important, right? </sarc>

Personally, I think the GOP is making too much of his efforts to win the Olympics. Save your ammo for something important.

From the article:

>>> “The White House has called out Fox News before.” <<<

“Called out?”

It is really unseemly when “credible” publications use urban street slang as cheap and lazy substitutes for the English language.

You are exactly right. I’ll bet that a lot of the money from this scam will appear in zero’s offshore bank account.

Poor Obama, he is the most mistreated President in history. Why 1 of about 500 channels on television dares to object to his policies. I’m surprised this ‘tough as nails’ “MAN” can take it.

I still say this guy has a seven year old mentality.

Well, even seven year old kids don’t want their mom intervening on their behalf with the school kids. Mr. Tough Guy can’t resist having the official White House web site do it.

Waaaaaaaaaaa, waaaaaaaaaa, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, waaaaa, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

What an infantile excuse for a man.

Grove Parc — the Chicago slum complex managed by Jarrett’s company, Habitat, Inc. Grove Parc is conveniently located just one block south of Washington Park, proposed site of the Olympic Stadium and the olympic swimming venue for Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Yeah, Obozo and company are a beacon of truth. ROTFLOL.

Where’s that Long Form Birth Certificate, Barry?

Nothing to hide? Then you have no reason to hide it, do you?

We’re told it will only confirm the CoLB. Cool. We can deal with that. Really, no problem.

Let’s see it so the hospital and the doctor are confirmed.
