7 VII 7 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 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 whole "transparency" that Obama keeps talking about really is what bugs me about this article 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 VII 7 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 not surprised... democrats are scared of Fox News because it reports on things other news outlets do not... and stuff that would hurt their "point-of-view" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 you realize that the article has nothing to do with the presidency, right? 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. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithwicks Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithwicks Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 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. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithwicks Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops Racer Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 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. Read Federalist #10. James Madison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
