Two days after liberal Democratic politician/CNN host Eliot Spitzer told fellow CNN host Fareed Zakaria it brought a smile to my face and makes my heart warm to learn President Obama calls you for wisdom and advice about issues around the world, Zakaria took to CNNs Web site for his Sunday show, Fareed Zakaria GPS, to issue a clarification on my conversations with the President in which Zakaria, an in unusual late Saturday afternoon posting, declared: The characterization that I have been advising President Obama is inaccurate.
Zakaria maintained that all hes done is had a couple of conversations with the President, off-the-record. At no point did President Obama ask me for advice on a specific policy. Apparently, conversations that are off-the-record do not constitute advising.
The next day, on Sundays Reliable Sources, Howard Kurtz accepted Zakarias explanation and only offered a gentle reprimand for not making the meetings known. Kurtz relayed how Zakaria claimed that the two meetings he's had with Obama in recent months give him a sense of the President's thinking, and that he used to have the same kinds of meetings with, for example, Condi Rice.

The media works with Obama. Nothing new, but now they are admitting it.

Why does Zakaria even have a job. Him and his “The US should fear the ‘rise of the rest’” . . . you mean “the rest” that resent us and whose own sovereign “government” is utterly anti-freedom?

It’s a step up from Obama’s usual advisor “Ask the Imam”. :)

Hussein the muslim communist impostor needs to talk occasionally with people who pronounce "Pah-kis-taan" the same way he does.
This communist son of a whore sat on OBL for a year and a half and only took him out because Trump was on his tail.
Not natural born, and continues to occupy the WH.
Amazing.

First time I read it I took it Zakaria was advising OSAMA! So, it's OBAMA.
Same advice in either case i am sure.

I propose a contest between Zakaria and Amanpour as to who has the most annoying accent.

That one could be a coin toss.
BTW, I erred with my quote earlier; Zakaria said that the USA
shouldn't fear the "rise of the (so-called) rest".
This is the naïve piece he wrote; either he's ignorant as to their leaders' agenda or he doesn't care. Bad enough that it was the liberals in this country that helped it along so much . . .

And when he goes rogue/dictator, the press corps are the first to disappear, then the professors at the universities and third the Hollywood stars.
They are a shoe in for the "fema camps" as these groups (groupie's) for a certainty, have no guns.

That's George Clintonopoulos, FRiend. ;)
Same great guy, though. I'm sure he'll call Election 2012 up the middle. </s, /sneer, /barf, /puke>
