How shakey is Obama?


ABC News and Yahoo are questioning one dozen Obama claims regarding the economy! Signals to me they know he is unelectable!

Amazing!

An overwhelming number of Americans know that the main stream media leans hard left. So why would ABC News, a flagship of left wing propaganda actually issue a story which is now front page Yahoo, questioning one dozen points the President tried to make in his State of the Union. All of these dozen points are related to the economy! Did ABC News get a sudden injection of nationalism? Not hardly. My guess; the polls and trends tell the story, Obama is a one termer, and the liberal mediahas decided to throw him overboard in hopes of saving November by finding a new candidate.

Of course Hillary Clinton comes straight to mind. You can't much more liberal than Hillary, and her policies would not help the American economy in any way. Hillary is the Mother of national health care. She was fighting for communism while Obama was still a child playing in the streets of some third world nation. But hey, they see gold in Hillary, or at least they want to see gold in Hillary.

ABC's story, State of the Union: Fact Checking the President, disappeared from Yahoo's front page almost as fast as it was put up! LOL, opps, somebody goofed. But the story, authored by a half dozen reporters seems to reflect a growing disenchantment on the left with their wonder boy.

Still its nice to the journalists doing some actual digging and reporting, not something we are too accustomed to in this day and age. Today's news reporting looks more likean elementary school cafeteria where rumors about teachers flourish and spread faster than the mayo! You don't see a whole lot of individual thinking on the news. A line of propaganda is created, also known as spin, and then its repeated over and over by reporters who are nothing more than manikins. No thought, no question, just good make up and a smile.

And the conservative talk shows aren't any better. Just a different spin. But thought is not something that abounds in American journalism today, left or right. News is not about providing information to the general public so that the public can consider the facts and make up its mind. Nope, today journalism is about cheerleading, giving people on the street something to say, which they repeat ...democracy can't make it because humanity can't do it. Thinking is too much work.

By the way, some of the facts that ABS found in error concerned the number of jobs lost before Obama took office, and the number of jobs which have been created since he took office. It also questions his claims about government policies saving endangered mortgage payers, and how much Obama has actually done to allow energy resources to be developed in the United States. Every single issue ABC checked related to the American economy. Does that provide any indication what they think you are thinking about?

Caught totally by surprise at the rapid collapse of RINO Romney's campaign and the fact that the Republicans, not its elite, but its grass roots is fixin' for a fight in November and the last time the conservative base of America got riled up, Ronald Reagan swept into office. Well, the liberal mediasees on the horizon a tidal wave a building. They thought when they drove Palin out most of the battle was over. Then they castrated Herman Cain and Romney looked even better. Themainstream thought they had won November, 2012 already!

But not so said the people of Iowa, although the reporting was chaotic and we find only now that Romney did NOT WIN in Iowa. He did New Hampshire, but by pitiful numbers given he was a favorite son in New England. And then South Carolina fired its cannons at Fort Sumter and low and behold...the horse race is on. And now, Florida seems to be moving right. Uh oh, ...or oh s--t, as some might say on the left...the sky is falling.

Hey anybody seen Sarah?
