Obama blames media for 'caricature'

His goal as POTUS was to fundamentally change America. He's put people in charge that are doing exactly that.

His goal seems more.to continue and expand.on most Bush policies, as that's what he's done.
 
This shows how weak Marse Back really is.

And thank God for all those who Obama is whining about. If it were not for them, Obama and his administration would have gotten away with whole lot more change if conservative grassroots groups hadn't worked so hard to elect and change the face/leadership in the House in 2010. And this year I have no doubt after the country experiencing all the Obama change from poor jobs growth due to government policies, the fiasco called Obamacare, increases in taxation, attack on Constitutional rights, the people will be flipping the Senate as well.

Oh here we go. That too is against what he promised.

I don't care what he promised, I care about what he does. And what he has done is to continue and expand most of the major Bush policies. Bushama.

It has nothing to do with his policies or personality, but rather his inability to convince you that conservatives are wrong. And so he cant get anything done because people wont allow Republicans in congress to go along with his policies. Because he hasnt been able to prove Rush or Fox wrong.

Does that sound rational to you? Heck, does it sound professional? Isnt it possible that either Obama is simply wrong, or that people dont beleive him?
Click to expand...
Uhh, that's not what he said at all. So no, it doesn't sound rational but that's because you've distorted the point he was making.

I wonder why it is so difficult for people to understand simple words without twisting them to conform to a preconception.

Wrong. The problem is that he assumes everyone should gravitate to him. The problem with getting Republican compromise is that Obama has always taken the approach that he gets what he wants and then decides what to give the opposition, and he has always failed to keep his end of the bargain, always. This is why I find his failed negotiations with Iran pretty funny. Iran is simply pulling an Obama on Obama.

They are doing the same to Huckabee right now as we speak.

Obama derangement syndrome should be recognized as a legitimate mental illness.

He claims to be interested in solving problems, but rarely talks to congress or even his own appointees. He claims to be practical, but thinks govt micromanaging everyone is going to work? He thinks a lot of the things hes put into play worked better than people think. Ok, Ill give him that. Expectations are pretty low, so the fact that there was a Obamacare website at all is probably better than expected. I seem to recall Obama joking about shovel ready not being so shovel ready after all. GUess thats his idea of working better than expected?

As Ive said many times before, if Obama would simply get to work, instead of giving interviews, campaigning, and blaming everyone but himself for the poor performance of govt, maybe something would get done.
He works a half a mile from Congress. Walk down the street and say hi.

It looks like you didn't notice it, but that street goes both ways, it's not a one-way street.

If President Obama made it rain cookies some people in the G-nO-P would be complaining about a milk shortage.

That's not a joke, that's a fact.




"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.

Actually no. That's not a fact.

But you were correct about streets that run both ways are not "one way streets". So we'll say you're batting .500 on that post. Not bad.

That's your opinion which you are entitled to and which I and a lot of other people don't agree with.

If you'll look at my comment again you'll see that I said some people in the GOP, maybe I should have said most people in the GOP, because that's probably closer to the truth.

And how often does Obama go over to congress? I can think of many times he has called congress into his office.
 
Rush made a good point about this today, which is that if Obama doesnt like how Fox is characterizing him, why doesnt he appear on Fox and set them straight from time to time? From what I remember he has waged a boycott on Fox, while appearing on all other media many many times.

As of a year ago he had appeared on comedy and daytime talk shows at least a dozen times, but on Fox News Sunday twice. Isnt it his own fault if people think hes a caricature?

She wasnt inacting policies though. She was just campaigning. Obama is claiming conservatives think his actions are wrong because of the conservative media telling them so.

Nope that not what is saying. Conservative media (like Glen Beck), built this image of him as a fire breathing monster that no republican can even be caught shaking his hand. I honestly believe that Bin Laden is more popular on the right than Obama. The right wing will denounce any republican who will say anything nice about him or even working with him.


Tell me I am wrong

You are wrong.

Why would you use Glenn Beck as a representative of the right wing media?

Nobody listens to Glenn Beck and haven't for a long time.

You must also be of the opinion that people are not capable of making their own opinions of Obama for themselves.

Obama is on the TV giving some kind of speech somewhere every couple of days. He is the one that gives people their opinions of him, not a talking head.

Given their constant lying and deception, why in the world would any rational person go there to present their argument if it differed from the collective groupthink at the station?

From what I remember he has waged a boycott on Fox, while appearing on all other media many many times.

Because Fox makes their money selling deception to those who want to believe bad things about President Obama. It's their business model. Regardless of whether you agree with Obama's policies or agree with the idea of conservative alternative to Obama's policies, Fox has shown, time and again, a willingness to deceive, mis-characterize, quote of context and outright lie to their viewers about the President.

Why should Obama boost the ratings to a media outlet who makes their money by casting him as the evil socialist?
Isnt it his own fault if people think hes a caricature?

No. I'm not sure you understand what Obama was saying though, so I can understand why you might think that way.
