NBC: 'Big Differences' Between Obama's 2006 Vote Against Debt Ceiling And Today
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Uh, well, yeah, true, then-Senator Barack Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling in 2006. But, um, you see, that was very different. Because there were, um, "big differences"—that's it!

Such was the way NBC senior political editor Mark Murray sought to cover for President Obama today while discussing the impending debt ceiling vote on MSNBC's News Nation with host Tamron Hall. So just what were these "big differences," you might ask? Well, explained Murray, "in 2006 there wasn't this kind of big protracted battle over the debt ceiling at all. It wasn't a big issue . . . it wasn't something you'd been reporting on for weeks and months."

As long as the Dems can construct their own version of reality, and the MSM duly delivers it into the brains of the low information voter, there is no escaping this alternate universe we’re trapped in.

.... Of course none of this means anything unless there is actually video or good soundbites of the Prez actually saying this. Low Information voters don’t like to sweat having to read what someone said.

"Big differences"...LOL!

Bush was President, Obama was a mere Senator.

Bush was evil, so raising the debt limit was aiding and abetting the Evil One.

I get it.

one of the truest posts ever.

The left know we have low info voters and buffoons and with their henchmen and women in the media they can control the masses, get a big turn out, and make people angry for anything.

We should have gone after the media years ago to stop this madness,. Without the media the left cannot do a quarter of what they are.

This is like Eddie Murphy’s comedy routine when his wife walks in on him in bed with another woman. He says, “Yes, baby, I “f” her, but I “make love” to you.

They lie, spin and re-write history to protect Obama and GE.

I’ve been saying for years that the average American voter is an idiot, and that is exactly how those in power want it.

Rush thinks the only way to save the country is to take back the education establishment. But that is at least a 3 decade proposition.

I think a more effective way is for any wealthy Conservative who loves this country to band together with like-minded others, pool their resources, stage a hostile takeover of at least one of the major networks, and Breitbart the News Division, right-freaking-now.

Biggest difference is that the president was from an entirely different political party.

It would be much more entertaining to have Millions of Citizens protest their FCC RENEWAL when it comes due, and watch them whine as their license to Broadcast ANYWHERE is seriously Threatened and maybe TERMINATED.

I’m in agreement with you 100%.
The rich left use their money to push their agenda and I have no idea what our side does compared to the left.
