The White House versus Fox News
Thursday, 22. October 2009, 13:57
Obama, news
To sum it up, Obama openly calls Fox "talk radio" not news but on the other hand... Fox has been successful in outing bigots, socialist, and criminal elements in the Obama camp.
So let's forget about the score and how much we hate Bill O'Riley and see what this little tiff really means to the American people.
Is it right for the government to try to control the information outlets?
(Notice for the sake of Democrats everywhere, we won't call them news outlets.)
Why of course it is! Control the information, you control the people.
That is the first thing you do when you get in power.
Do I sound cynical? No, I just looking at history. I am not talking about Hitler here either. I am talking about every, repeat, every power that has come to rule. Don't think it doesn't happen in the good ol' Land of the Free. You can still go to the libraries and get copies of news papers to prove that point.
So no matter what your views are on the credibility of Fox News, we have to support their access to the administration the same as any other media.
Well, we don't HAVE to... we could just wait for the memo.
Obama Calls Kanye a Jackass

news, Obama
To hear him comment on on something like the MTV Awards makes him more like a real person.
Reporter: Were your girls as mad as mine were that Kanye gave Taylor Swift the Joe Wilson treatment?
Barack Obama: I thought that was really inappropriate. You know I mean it’s like she’s getting an award what are you butting in? I hear you, I agree with you.
Reporter: Does that count as the first question?
Barack Obama: The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person, she’s getting her award, what is he doing up there? He’s a jackass. No all this stuff…I’m assuming all this stuff…where’s the pool? Come on guys cut the President some slack I got a lot of other stuff on my plate. ‘Cause I remember last time there was the fly thing that was the highlight…
Report: That worked out well for you, you were a ninja.
Barack Obama: Not really, except PITA.
Reporter: You got the chopsticks this time?
Barack Obama: Yeah right.
Jackass? JACKASS!!!!
Yeah, he said jackass.
Well, finally something we can agree on.

America, War, politics, Obama
Granted... both were great men but we see more and more reference to Lincoln as a friend of the black man. Do we really need to credit a white man with the strides that the black man has gained through the years? No! I believe it was great black men that we have to thank. Fredrick Douglas maybe. Certainly not Lincoln.
It was Fredrick Douglas that gave Lincoln's Emancipation creditability with the black slaves at the time. Other wise it would have just been another political move to win favor for an unpopular war. Does "weapons of mass destruction" ring a bell?
Abolitionists were considered a rouge movement at the time. Lincoln sent his troops to put down abolitionist before the war. And guess who he sent to do this? Lieutenant Colonel Robert E. Lee.
Lincoln had confirmed that the War had nothing to do with slavery.
After the bloody battle of Antietam, support for the War was at a low and there was pressure to end it. Lincoln was a great politician and ceased upon the anti-slavery movement to gain support.
From a British newspaper analyst:
Lincoln, as a result of Antietam, converted the war to a higher plane, again the master politician. He announces the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. Of course, it doesn’t free a single slave in revolt, frees only as a war measure and only frees a slaves in states where the Confederacy is in control.
and the same after the War.
...and certainly as many people today do not realize, that the Emancipation Proclamation did nothing to get them their freedom.
Don't get me wrong. Lincoln was a great man and tried hard to bring our nation together, but to him slavery was a political tool not a moral aptitude.
This is evident in his plan for the emancipated slaves. He wanted to send them back to Africa and the Republican plan for reconstruction was non existent.
There are too many real black heroes to waste claims that Lincoln freed the slaves.
I think that Obama's admiration of the man is based solely on Lincoln's endeavor to bring the people of the nation together than on what he did to end slavery.
Obama referenced the 1860 Inaugural Address, in which Lincoln dramatically called on a deeply divided nation to choose peace instead of civil war.
Though civil war does not threaten the nation Obama has been elected to lead, it is nontheless deeply divided. Indeed, partisanship has stalled the political process in recent years.
Will Obama prove to be a post-partisan figure, capable of bringing Democrats and Republicans together, within his cabinet and Congress? Of course, only time will tell.
