Dear Leader Obama believes the press should be free to print anything that meets his approval.

But Obama also "recognizes the need for the justice department to investigate alleged criminal activity without undue influence," Carney said.

Any negative reporting on the Regime is a State crime.

To understand the mind of Obama and Hillary, you should understand the mind of a Borderline Personality Disorder sociopath. These 3 principles are ingrained in their minds: 1. I’m a victim, so revenge is necessary; 2. It’s never my fault; it’s everyone else who is wrong; 3. Don’t trust anybody, so I must control and manipulate others.
