NYTimes Reporter: 'They Are So Much Cockier Now at the White House'

NYTimes Reporter: 'They Are So Much Cockier Now at the White House' Daniel Halper December 9, 2012 10:49 AM

New York Times reporter Helene Cooper explained on Meet the Press that the White House is now "cockier":

"I think when you talk about the feeling at the White House, there's a palpable difference now compared to 2011, the summer of 2011," said Cooper. "They are so much cockier right now at the White House than they were a year and a half ago when they were doing this. They really believe they have set out--you come to us, we're not going to negotiate against ourselves. We're not going to like put -- keep putting out more proposals. I mean, remember the summer of 2011, when President Obama was perceived, and they believed at the White House, that he kept making concession after concession and didn't get anywhere? They are definitely not doing that now."

Of course they are cocky. They got away with stealing an election and they know they own the press. They know that they can get away with murder (F&F) and that nobody will call them on it.

America is in major trouble. The libtards believe that they are winning the war and they believe that we the people are too afraid or weak to do anything about it.

I guess the question is, ARE WE?

Somehow I don't see anyone around The One who is willing to remind him of the truth.

Making concession after concession and didn’t get anywhere? They are definitely not doing that now.
Their fall will be a hard on that will last for years.

If it lasts longer than 4 hours, then call your doctor. ;-)

I agree with your assessment. The MSM created and unleashed Obamastein and they will have to destroy him. They will get no help from the Republicans who are completely cowed at this point.

Care to list these concessions? I don't recall a darn one of 'em. A reputable reporter might think about that kind of information... but sadly, this is a journalism major. They don't "do" that kind of reporting anymore.

Good news.

Pride cometh before the (down)fall. Reminds me a lot of the Nixon Administration. Patience....

Reminds me a lot of the Nixon Administration.

I don't think so. Nixon was assaulted by the media. In 2012 the media is an integral part of the Democrat machine. If you compare the media coverage of Abu Graib vs Benghazi, you can see that Baraq and Co. can get away with anything they want.

I detest this creature and his entire administration and party.

While I've never really hated anyone, I join with the many who see this "president" as someone who is arrogantly determined to legally change this great nation into a European-style country, or maybe, a 3rd world country.

How can he be stopped?

As much as I hate Obastard, he didn't do all this. He isn't smart enough or disciplined enough.

It was all set up for him on a tee by previous generations who squandered their birthright through sloth and feminine sentimentality.
