Good observations. His tantrum at the end of the article where he returns after ending the interview to give a tongue-lashing to his base is stunning.

I doubt they have the sense of humor for it, but I’d love to see Fox News make some station id’s using that line. A few bites of “ultimately destructive” by 0bama, and then...

FOX NEWS

Destroying America

You Decide

We all must be the same but different, or is it different but the same, or is it the same difference? Gosh I’m all confused with obIWONa always flip flopping on everything.

Quite the little PR blitz Great Leader has going on. One would think his poll numbers were down or something. Or maybe someone decided he needed to appear to be campaigning since that is what he does and loves so well - just the adoration and the excitement, not the actual work to be accomplished in the office.

It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world.

Yeah, I really hate the part where Fox is cramming through higher taxes, worse medical care, cripplingly low interest rates on savings, protecting crony banks, suing Arizona to prevent it from protecting its border, promising to tax every bit of energy we use, forcing us to vote on unionization under the watchful eyes of union thugs and preparing their minions to stuff the Nielsen ratings ballot box.

No, wait, Fox has no authority to do any of that...

Contrast this whiny baby with President Bush who actually welcomed a free press......even the MSM who lied about him day after day.

Obama has the emotional maturity of a 6 year old. A narcissistic, dangerous, treacherous punk.

May God preserve this nation until we can neuter him in November and get him out of office in 2012!

It’s not worth the time to read anything obama says. He is so full of pig stuff and will say anything.

Back in the campaign, Hannity used to run an audio clip of the kenyan saying “Just words, just speeches...”

More prophetic than he knew.

Simple and Predicatable, Obama operating from the groupthink template:

I
Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking

II
Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions

III
Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions

IV
Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose

V
Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments

VI
Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view

VII
Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members

VIII
Thou shalt appoint mindguards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions.

Completely agree. I have 3 teenage girls that have long since surpassed him in maturity. You know, he does remind me of a self-absorbed, snotty teenage girl...unfortunately he’s not going to grow out of it. 2012 can’t get here soon enough.

"Just wait. This RS interview is just the warm up act. Wait and see Obama’s rage come out in all of its glory once the Republicans capture Congress. It won’t be pretty."

Ahhh, I think it'll be pretty as a picture. ordinary people don't fear Obama nearly as much as he thinks. He hasn't the backbone to be a Chicago thug or an iron fisted tyrant. Why, in a fistfight this old man could pound this mom jeans wearing little punk into a fine powder. He has no knowledge of presidential decorum or tradition and that is why he's a two bit sniveling shyster. Typical PC obsessed ranter.

he’s a funny guy, this Obozo character

apparently he has no clue that all his favored MSM outlets have a “point of view”... in fact a very very liberal point of view that happens to mesh so nicely with with what Obama and his fellow Demagogues wish to promote

the idea that FoxNews is somehow unique amongst the major media in having a point of view is hilarious

in reality, the various Fox opinion shows actually present a much fuller range of viewpoints and debate than any of the Lamestream Media

This is Nixonian crying at it’s worst: You won’t have me to kick around anymore.

This is the tone of a loser who blames the loss on a bad call AND the fans. I say again: GTFU, Obama.

A humiliation for all America. GWB, with all his faults and much more flak from all the biased press Obama did NOT mention, never stooped to such a prolonged and sustained display of self-pity. This man-child cannot get over himself.

The first thing Goebbels did after the Nazis seized power was to eliminate the “Jewish” Press.

I don’t care if the media is ‘liberal’, the very last thing I would ever care to see is the government attempt to shut it down, or to use bullying tactics to shut down the press, whether I agree with what the press says or not, when you start going down that road, liberty is in peril.

While that second image is indeed funny, please be aware that “Dees Illustration” is actually a virulently anti-semitic website.

You can see this by the constant integration of the Star of David in politicians’ clothing in their images - they want people to think that “da Jooooos” control everything.....
