“The press does deserve contempt — but it should come from the public for dereliction of duty.”

The press swarms around Obama trying to get in a sniff of his malodious flatulence like a pack of paranas. Anything to get close to the king. How they are not embarassed is beyond me

The MSM is the “abused wife” of progressives that just keeps coming back for more.

They just have to hang in there til Sept. 2015 when the Internet news goes away. After that it will be smooth sailing.
