Obama touts freedom at China town hall"We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation," Mr. Obama said. "But we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation. These freedoms of expression, and worship, and access to information and political participation, we believe are universal rights. They should be available to all people, including religious and ethnic minorities, whether they are in the United States, China, or any nation."

But excluding Fox News, apparently.

"I am a big believer in technology, and I am a big believer in openness when it comes to the flow of information," Mr. Obama said. "I believe that the more freely information flows, the stronger a society becomes."

So, by his actions against Fox News, he's implying that he wants to weaken the United States.

The Messiah is a hypocrite.

Big surprise there.

Granted Obama is an idiot for choosing to single out FoxNews he is not doing anything that would silence FoxNews or take away any of their rights to freely say and report on whatever they want.

NOT Yet, but if you look at what his FCC Chief and others around him want censorship of conservatives in radio and the forced break up of radio networks owned by conservative groups while saying they oppose the fairness doctrine.
Classic doublespeak which is turning up a great deal with everything Obama.

Obama is telling them to open up whilr his people here are making plans to move toward the China or should I say Venezuela model since his pal Chavez is only slightly ahead of Obama's Socialist/Marxist time table.


Mark Lloyd, Obama/Soros hitman at the FCC

Mark Lloyd, Obama/Soros hitman at the FCC [Darleen Click]

Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer
A Senior Fellow at the George Soros’ Center for American Progress, Mark Lloyd’s antipathy towards non-leftist participation in the public square is well known. He has written two anti-free speech hit pieces on “conservative talk radio” … a CAP “analysis” “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio” which never examines talk radio in the larger sphere as being the only alternative to Leftist dominated broadcast television (news and entertainment), newspapers, university and college campuses … and “Forget the Fairness Doctrine”, a whiney little piece where Lloyd tries to bare his teeth against people who oppose his conclusions in the first piece and defends his Trojan Horse plan to achieve his own STFU policy towards conservative talk radio with so-called “local diversity” objectives.

No, nothing to worry about here with Lloyd at the FCC.

Radio free-speech advocates aren’t buying it

Obama sais he wants information to freely flow, not bull****.
 
obama once told the american people to shut up

http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt...ot+of+talking&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-701-s&sao=1

he was referring to all those angry town halls

the chinese yesterday didn't tell the prez to shut up, tho

they just pulled his plug

after packing his town hall with hand picked party members

President Obama Holds Town Hall in China, Discusses Human Rights, Censorship - ABC News

too bad, too

cuz obama's wafted world changing words about partnership, trade relations and cooperation concerning korea and iran

peking so profoundly appreciates poetry

which is why the VERY DAY qom was disclosed hu's foreign minister declared his masters' aversion to anti-iran sanctions

KSTP TV - Minneapolis and St. Paul - China dismisses punishment for Iran nuke facility

china WILL undermine any international actions taken against iran (as will putin)

no matter what obama says

the world is so little like those ivoried halls of harvard law

a shame

Bush never spoke to Chinese citizens about human rights, but still you give no props to Obama, just call him a hypocrite. He is not a Messiah, but he may be the best president any of us will see in our lifetime, and your pathetic whining will not change that.

That's cute, but face it, Fox is vastly more accurate than CNN and MSNBC. Americans know it, which is why their ratings are 10X higher and their advertisers are paying more - not less - these days for air time.

Fox will go after a conservative if he deserves it. The only way CNN and MSNBC will go after a liberal is if they're cornered and there are not other options. Then it's 50/50.

Yeah, and you thought the New Deal was great, too, didn't you?

Obama is an abortion.

No one is whining. It's called dissent. Howard Zinn, the noted Leftist historian calls dissent "the highest form of patriotism."

You remind me of so many of my Leftist friends. When Obama is criticized they raise the subject of Bush. However, they go silent when told I agree with them on Bush, but that Obama has downgraded human rights from the American foreign policy agenda. Want evidence? Has Obama supported the Iranian human rights activists in their recent confrontations with the Theocracy?

My Chinese friends call Obama the American Pu Yi, and we laugh together. Do you know who Pu Yi was?
 
obama whines a lot

to be fair, there's much to cry about

asia just dealt him yet another embarrassing body blow

World leaders back delay to final climate deal | World | Reuters

china refuses to limit the gases it releases as it develops into the world's number one economic power

and polluter

instead, hu spoke over breakfast in singapore about "the need to establish a funding mechanism for rich nations to provide financial support to developing countries to fight climate change"

how selfish can hu be?

meanwhile, back in america foxnews reports that white house aids whispered today that cap and trade will be delayed until next year, after health care and financial regulatory reform have been "accomplished"

no news, there

cap and trade's been dead since august when lincoln, dorgan, pryor, byrd, sharrod brown and stiff neck nelson spoke out ON THE RECORD against the job killing climate bill

Four Democratic senators call for delay on climate legislation | Grist

even the whip, durbin, bowed to reality, kinda like prez before the japanese emperor

anyone remember when obama bent before abdullah in buckingham palace, then the next day DENIED he'd done it?

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0409/White_House_No_bow_to_Saudi.html

how 'bout the time ms boxer held her hearing IN AN EMPTY ROOM

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...xer_lone_senator_at_climate_bill_hearing.html

now, that's funny, a lot more amusing than anything tina fey has ever done, even, the real one

my, my

hardly a hopeful headline in sight

but who's whining?

So would you be fine if Obama regulated the internet? Censoring things like 4chan, Fox News, and various blogs that appeal to conservatives? lords knows those are all bull****, right?

You mean besides trying to exclude Fox news from press conferences and pool events Fox has paid to be a part of?

I see the Messiah's plan backfired and Anita Dunn is the most recent casualty of Fox's fight to protect the First Amendment from messianic socialists.

The Messiah is a prop.

Considering that I gave Bush hell for not bombing our EP-3 on the runway, an aircraft that was stolen by an act of Chinese air piracy, you totally don't understand my opinion of the previous liberal president in the White House.

I'm not less than one year old, and that's the only way anyone's going to be able to claim the Messiah is the best president of their lifetime, and those people will have to die before January 20, 2013.

I haven't seen Fox excluded from press conference. Only the WH choosing not to be interviewed by FoxNews in one-on-one's.

In any case this doesn't suppress Fox's right to report on anything and everything it wants to. It just limits on who they have as willing interviewees on some stories.
 
that's about half of it

the other 50% came in the form of the white house for about two weeks sending out really hi level lackeys to disparage the #1 news network (by far) on the cables

by almost all accounts, by now, seen as a miserable misplay

indeed, tho some few around here may still see the fox news war as high policy, the administration admittedly does not

no, the obamites, the real ones, backed off and laid off and half unsaid all the stupid crap they were so unpolitic to push in september

axelrod, emanuel, anita dunn, the president himself took their shots

of course, that was before they took it all back later

obama's going on fox personally tonite

i boycott them, i boycott them not

i'm committed to afghanistan, i'm committed not

public option, bottom line, public option not

etc

what a GIRL
