Pretty obvious, most media has been in the tank for a while.


I continue to be disturbed by the people Obama surrounds himself with. It now defines his personal intentions and political preferences.

Who was the knucklehead who said I shouldn't judge him by Ayres, Wright, or others he has had for company over the years? Thos elosers obviously shaped his attitude.

Mao as a philosophical reference? He killed more folks thru murder and collectivism than Hitler and Stalin combined.

Hugo Chavez is to be admired? ( Czar Mike Loyd)

CHe Guevera is a murderer on a tshirt.

ANd oh wait CAstro is nice guy?

honestly it just seemed like strategy for me. I would have no issue with people only wanting live interviews, in fact, I would be concerned if no live sessions were offered. Absolute control in this case I think makes sense -- your issues are your responsibility, why would you want to comment on something that wasn't in your hands?

This whole news article I think was taken out of context, the title of the article "Obama Team 'Controlled' Media Coverage" just is begging for people to think that if an issue wasn't what exactly the spin they wanted to be on TV the "Obama Team" would go kill someone or something.



I'll disclose that I voted for Obama because he was most in line with my political views.

The press is the only check the public has on govt. denial of access to information and questioning of policy is fundamental to keeping the bastards from seizing total power and control. We ignore most of the info and take it in the ass and ask for more all the time. To exclude a media outlet from a presser because they don't like the coverage smacks of state controlled media= Communism.

You are hiding something if you don't want full disclosure. fuck the "tactics" are you doing whats best for the country or are you doing whats best to keep you in power?

But everything to do with manipulating information and perception in the White House.

But why would that have anything to do with the presidency? It's just his place of business and those folks only work for him.

So should we get some bets going as to whether the House Healthcare Plan will pass or fail? Or maybe it would be better to bet on when they will actually vote on it?

Does anyone support him anymore?

most likely some of the people that voted for Obama just felt inspired and wanted to be a part of something so they voted for him without listening to what he was supporting.

also read a liberal opinion article talking about the rally that was held outside the capitol the week before the bill was voted on. the guy went on and on about how 5 people required medical attention during the rally and how the physicians on hand at the capitol building rushed to their aid and helped them. then he went on to refer to those incidents as basically how wonderful health care will be if the bill passes.

Tax The Rich
Its scary that some people think this way. "I want health care but i dont want to pay for it. Wait that person that makes more than me down the road should be forced to pay for my health care." ...Scary.

That's because 90% of the population is retarded, and they all happen to be on Turbobricks.

Ya, there's a name for that. But new Jesus and his disciples swear he isn't socialist.

[Pops Racer]

I need a definition of "Rich". Anyone have an idea?


"Classical liberalism and direct democracy are not necessarily friends. Classical liberalism affirms the freedom of the individual and argues for just enough government to protect that freedom from enemies abroad and criminals at home. Direct democracy means the rule of a majority of those eligible to vote. If a majority of the people turns out to be thieves, liberalism and democracy fall out and a nation can fall into civil war."

I guess I'm a liberal.
