“I think people have a fondness for him and I don’t think people blame him for anything that’s wrong in this country,”

Fondness, I hate the SOB and his agenda...I used to think he would be ok to have a beer with but not now as I would not be responsible for my actions after a few mugs. He is not a nice person...he is a narcacist, a fraud, and has no moral compass.

Gee, I thought the Kenyan Bandit’s low poll numbers
were because Americans DO blame him for the poor job
he’s doing.

ROFLOL! He must only travel in liberal circles because here even in the grocery store lines you can hear all about how bad everything is since that blankety blank Obama took office.

“ideologues from both sides do it”

That goes without saying. My comment was directed at the MSM which casts itself as news organizations but are really propaganda outlets for leftist causes. Have you watched CNN or MSNBC lately? How much “reporting” did you see on Wisconsin or any number of other issues that have gone against the Obama administation lately? Conversely (or perversely) the smallest shred of “good news” is repeated endlessly. It’s really reached an absurd level.

He is a ‘queen’ then- like the Queen of England - a ‘celebrity’ figurehead.

EVERYTHING that obama has done... has made things WORSE... BY EVERY MEASURE!!! He has run up our debt far beyond ALL presidents combined... by every measure he is a failure. He only won by 53% of those voting... he has lost major support amongst independents and guilt ridden white people and the youth. What does this mean? It means that this rat turd is a lying sos.

That’s funny. I had a liberal apologize to me for falling for Obama’s lies and now sounding like a conservative. I mean, he is wanting Bachman for President. If Obama can completely change this guy from hard core social justice liberal to conservative, Obama is in big, big trouble.

Yep, that there racism accounts for his 39% approval in Gallup. Actually it does. The 39% is made up of racists who can’t see just how destructive this Anti-American President is.

This type of in-your-face stupidity is starting to frighten me. The folks at the top of the media ecosystem may be rigid ideologues, but they're not all simply retarded.

Why do they look into the cameras every day and tell obvious lies?

In the Soviet Union, they were simply ordered to so so...it was the de facto core of their employment. Ditto modern China. And the publics have little recourse.

In contemporary America, news customers can easily see the bobbing head on the screen is spouting bu!!sh't. The advertisers and media beancounters can easily see the numbers of viewers/readers falling, making the enterprises less profitable/valuable.

In the case of the NY Times, the controlling family is led by a dim bulb who hates the country, and is rich enough to not care if it all falls apart. As for the Washington Post, its biggest shareholder has been lining his pockets with tax breaks and regulatory ease for decades...he personifies crony capitalism...of course that's Warren Buffett. And Michael Bloomberg needs no explanation.

But what about all the other outlets? Do their owners LIKE losing money? Or do they have a regulatory gun pointed at them?

Well Obama is not totally responsible for all that is wrong with this country, but Obama and those who put him in power are just about totally responsible for all the ills of this country.

Inadvertently correct, but to no avail: like in your car swerving to avoid a head-on crash and slamming at full speed into a bridge abutment.

We don't blame him for anything, but rather, everything.

Cheers!

Their women have gone all Lysistrata on them about politics.

Which is odd, you know, when you consider how many are queer anyway.

Cheers!

Yeah, everybody loves obama. That’s why he’s got a rousing 39% approval rating.

This is obviously warming up the spin machine for his Midwest "Potemkin rallies."

Cheers!
