President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as “great” and tell him they are “all good ideas.”
Obama made the remarks in a speech Wednesday in Galesburg, Ill., focused on the economy.
The address didn’t include any new proposals on the economy, and Republicans criticized Obama for giving an address that was more of the same.
But Obama said the news media often praises his ideas.
"It’s interesting, in the run-up to this speech, a lot of reporters say that, well, Mr. President, these are all good ideas, but some of you’ve said before; some of them sound great, but you can't get those through Congress. Republicans won’t agree with you," Obama said.
Obama argued some Republicans privately agree with a lot of his ideas.
“I know because they’ve said so. But they worry they’ll face swift political retaliation for cooperating with me,” he said.

“The grandees with the shorn heads, whom I met in great numbers in the hall, were very intelligent people, and when I exclaimed,
“Gentlemen! let us save the moon, for the earth is going to sit on it,” they all set to work to fulfill my imperial wish, and many of them clambered up the wall in order to take the moon down.”
The grandees in the press will do anything for Obama.
He’s replaced his light bulb 1000 times
Calling sloganized rhetoric, which demonstrates only a half-baked listing of notions that do not actually relate to demonstrable reality, "good ideas," probably defines the intellectual capacity of the one calling the description.
The demagogue's recent rhetoric shows an incoherent perception of just what the "middle-class" consists, and even more important, how people get into the middle-class, stay in the middle-class, or relate to Government in the American experience.
The demagogue is all rhetoric, but no substance. If we had a better press corps, they would be shredding, not praising this truly unamerican disaster.
And see America Grounded On Experience & Reason, to better understand the point.

Reporters said the same thing to Hitler, Mao, and Stalin.
They’re just patronizing the retarded kid because he gives them favors.
Kim Jong-Il also made a near perfect golf game with many hole sin one because his sycophants wanted to patronize him, too.
The fact is that you cannot justify his "ideas" in reason, but this is not an obstacle to mob in-citation.
In the age before the politics of the thirty second sound bite, appealing to all that is base in the the human character, Obama would have been hooted off the stand in his public appearances. He is the ultimate example of how far we have fallen.

It’s a bit like being told you’re really sexy by a hooker. Doesn’t make it true.
Reporters are as much an authority on economics as was Heinrich Himmler on genetics. See how that turned out.
This fraud’s ego is unbelieveable. Apparently nobody in his whole life ever explained to him that he’s a token.

That’s because they are as ignorant as you are, and wouldn’t know an economic policy from “ how to return “ a product instructions.
Oh? And my mother told me I was a "great" musician...

I looked to see if this was some of your semi satire.
At your service, sir :)

I thought this was satire at first: ‘All my yes-men tell me I’m right, so how could I be wrong? Are you a racist?’.
God help us.
