Piers Morgan: Press ‘Quite Soft’ on Obama

CNN’s Piers Morgan, who as a top tabloid newspaper editor in Britain for years had his reporters ask tough questions and write hard-hitting exposés, thinks the U.S. press has been too easy on the Obama administration.

“I would say actually they’ve been probably quite soft and could have gone harder. The financial crisis was inherited by the president, but he’s been there long enough to try to work it out himself. Unemployment’s still comfortably over 7 percent—really completely unacceptable,” said Morgan, 48. …

“Issues like Benghazi have exposed some of the limitations of his leading from behind on foreign policy and a lack of attention to detail in protecting the American ambassadors and serviceman around the world. There needs to be more clarity from the president about what he really stands for, what he really wants to achieve.” …

Obviously. And they know it. Obama is one of those guys who wishes we had a parliamentary system. But if he had been a British PM, even the Guardian would have eaten him alive. Affection for individual pols is not their thing.

Piers you ignorant twit. How stupid do you think we are? You are the press and you are worse than ‘soft’. You’re 0bama’s Leni Riefenstahl.

It was, and we aren’t.

In Virginia, they are showing “moderate” Americans believe a proven, corrupt Democrat is preferable to any Republican.

America is headed to a very dark date with communism, and there is nothing we can do about it.

PALIN: SCHWEIZER BOOK A 'SLAP UPSIDE THE HEAD' TO MEDIA'S BLINDNESS TO D.C. CORRUPTION

The only reason he has said this is his show is being cancelled. The Schweizer book is exposing the media's willful 'blindness' and manipulation of the news. CNN whistleblower Amber Lyon has done the same, even though it is not being reported yet.

This emperor has no clothes. The media is responsible for the mess this country is in. They have been the captive DNC propaganda arm and are fully complicit, not blind.

"Obama is one of those guys who wishes we had a parliamentary system."

I beg to differ. He's more interested in a dictatorship.
