Obama: We’re going to have to control the media, starting with Fox News

Loading

The mask is off. No more pretending. The dictator is displeased and things have to change.

President Straw Man:

I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And look, it’s still being propagated. I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant venue. They will find folks who make me mad. I don’t know where they find them. They’re all like, “I don’t want to work. I just want a free Obama Phone, or whatever.” And that becomes an entire narrative that gets worked up. And very rarely do you hear an interview of a waitress, which is much more typical — who is raising a couple of kids and doing everything right but still can’t pay the bills.

And so, if we’re going to change how Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) think, we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy looks like. And how budgets connect to that. And that’s a hard process because that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly news.

As John Nolte notes, Barack Obama knows squat about being poor:

Obama attended prep schools as a child, lived with his well-to-do grandparents in Honolulu as a teen, where he attended Panahou, a fancy private school. Both of his grandparents were well educated; she even worked as the vice president of a bank. For a time, Obama had a nanny! From there Obama attended Occidental College in California, was well off enough to visit Pakistan for 3 weeks; he then attended two of the most prestigious colleges in the country: Columbia and Harvard.

The closest Obama has ever come to experiencing anything close to poverty was during his time as a community organizer in Chicago. And in that dynamic, the poor were just pawns for Obama to manipulate to achieve his political ambitions.

Obama knows nothing of struggle, or what life is like for those who do. And after 7 years of his failed economic policies, we also know he doesn’t give a damn enough about the poor to change his policies in a way that might actually help them.

Obama likes poor people fine — he likes them dependent on the government.

He also likes the news media to do what it’s told.

We have noted here that Obama famously said that he doesn’t watch the news, asserting “Whatever they’re reporting about, usually I know.”

And Obama doubled down, claiming that he doesn’t watch cable news at all!

“He’s a voracious consumer of the printed word — even the electronic printed word — but he doesn’t watch cable news”

said Jay Carney.

But we all know what an incontrovertible liar Obama is. Obama has had a feud with Fox News for a long time. This from 2009:

And the White House has gone beyond words, reports CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield. Last Sept. 20, the president went on every Sunday news show – except Chris Wallace’s show on FOX. And on Thursday, the Treasury Department tried to exclude FOX News from pool coverage of interviews with a key official. It backed down after strong protests from the press.

“All the networks said, that’s it, you’ve crossed the line,” said CBS News White House correspondent Chip Reid.

Almost from the beginning Obama has sought to “delegitimize” Fox News:

So why is the White House out to “de-legitimize” FOX? Not because it has opinions, but because its opinion voices are so hostile to Mr. Obama – and because FOX News is, as it has been for a decade, by far the most watched of the cable news networks. In fact, its ratings have increased 13 percent this summer. So if FOX is feeling any pain from the White House’s stance, it’s crying all the way to the bank.

The continued domination of Fox News must eat at the would be Mussolini.

On Special Report tonight Bret Baier wryly noted Obama’s obsession with Fox News saying

“He does seem to have us on his mind a lot.”

Charles Krauthammer added

“Well, the president speaks with such authority about what is on Fox News. He says, ‘if you watch Fox News on a regular basis,’ so he seems well-acquainted with what we do,” Krauthammer told Baier. “I think Fox ought to run a full-page ad welcoming Obama into the viewership of the number one network. He should be proud of us.”

and closed with

“Mr. President, if you’re watching us right now, you’ve got a tick. It can be cured.”

As his Presidency (gratefully) winds down Obama is reaching for powers well beyond any other President and now is angling for control of the press as part of his stated goal of fundamentally transforming this country into a “progressive” (as in Communist) state.

Obama is already well on his way to controlling the internet. Ajit Pai has been screaming at us about that. Control of the press is a natural part of the progression.

If and when Obama denies planning to control Fox News or the internet chills should run down your spine.

DrJohn’s Law.

All discussions about the current President have the same starting point.

Barack Obama is a galactic liar.

Post Script:

Did you ever see George Bush whining like a little girl about the press?

This is exactly how this loser got elected in the first place!! He gained control of the MSM Monkeys and they did and said exactly what he directed them to do and say. He blamed Bush and they where more than willing to go along with it on every count. He told America you can keep your health insurance and/or doctor “period” and they never challenged this bold face lie. Benghazi a video, fast and furious on Bush’s watch a lie, wasting billions to buy union votes in the name of recovery a lie, granting illegals amnesty sue why not. Now he wants to control the only station that tells the truth about his lies, no wonder he wants to stop them. Race baiting with Martin case OK!! The list goes on and on. This President is clearly the worst we have ever had. Don’t like Fox monkey crawl back to your monkey stations and watch them in your mothers basement between trips to the unemployment checks.

Even the entertainment shows are getting into the “bash Fox” game. I watched “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” last night and one of the agents made some crack about “trusting his mother, then she started watching Fox News”.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have never heard of any of this mentioned on Fox. The ignorant loser touting her “Obamaphone” was an internet sensation, not some lead story on Fox. Obama, as usual, is lying to stir up animosity against an enemy (Alinsky again) as having facts available to voters is detrimental to his agenda.

Like every other liberal that mentions it (and this is NOT a generalization or exaggeration), they always point out the lies and distortions of Fox, yet NEVER present examples. Beyond any possible shadow of a doubt, Fox obviously scares the Biden out of every liberal because of its expose’ of truth and counter-propaganda. Fox is not flawless or faultless or pristine, but for those wanting reporting on what is actually happening, they are all there is.

I sincerely hope that at the first opportunity, Congress mandates that the non-profit, tax-free status of Media Matters is reviewed and revoked for they are nothing but a left wing propaganda tool and weapon against, primarily, Fox News.

As John Nolte notes, Barack Obama knows squat about being poor:

He is as ignorant about the poor as is any other liberal. Most have lived on entitlements, grants and gimme’s and think that handing someone a few hundred bucks sends them on their way to prosperity. Obama has never held a job, never been short for the week to pay bills, never had to go out and find extra income to make ends meet and all he knows is that being poor is unfair.

As his Presidency (gratefully) winds down…

I wonder.

Fox is almost the only one that can be trusted.

During the prime time news hour Fox News attracts about 10% of the total TV audience
Yeah the are the top of cable news but the one center right station does not get much of the total
Most Americans choose to watch NBC ABC CBS
Half of all Fox watchers are over 68 you can tell by watching their ads who is watching that station, lots of people with health problems
The average age of a voter for POTUS is in their 40s

Number six in Marx’s ten measures that need to be implemented in order to gain control of all means of production and to centralize it under control of the State, which was one step in his theory of Communist revolution:

“Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.” The Communist Manifesto, p. 75 of the Norton Critical Edition.

When asked who do you trust most for news, here is the result:
NBC News 10

ABC News 8

CBS News 10

CNN 22

Fox News 29

MSNBC 7

Doesn’t matter what age you are, if you don’t trust someone to broadcast the ‘real’ news, you don’t watch them.

John, you never cease to leave me in awe when you post.

Suppressing the press is nothing new with Democrats. I remember reading how FDR would boot reporters, not giving them White House access, if they dared pen any opposition to his Socialist policies. He also was quick to sic the IRS on those who owned newspapers, like William Randolph Hurst and Moses Annenberg, when they published dissent against FDR’s New Deal.

Hitler understood the power of the press so he created his Department of Propaganda, which controlled not only what the press released, but also controlled other forms of information like the movie industry. In November, 1938 Hitler said to a press conference:

“To achieve this (final victory and world conquest), it is also necessary for the press in particular to hold blindly to the principal: The leadership is always right! Gentlemen, we must all be allowed to make mistakes. Newspapermen are not exempt from that danger either. But all of us can only survive if we do not let the world see our mistakes but only the positive things.”

Considering that the press has willfully ignored the disaster that is the Obama administration, just as the press ignored letting the nation know that FDR was actually bound to his wheelchair most of the time, or otherwise had to be helped to even stand while wearing braces on both legs, journalism, true journalism, the kind spoke of by Thomas Jefferson, died a long, long time ago.

Now journalism students are taught to revere the three Walters; Walter Duranty, Walter Lippman and Walter Cronkite. None of those men should ever be spoken of in polite society as they were enemies of the truth.

One lone voice in the wilderness is Fox News. Sure, it has its Obama sycophants like Juan Williams, et al, but every now and then it exposes the belly of the beast. And for that, it is hated by the left, just as FDR hated reporters who told the truth about his move toward Socialism. And how ironic that when the left controls the entirety of the alphabet networks, they can’t take the pressure from one lone voice. It shows that they are really sniveling, scared little twits that understand that their socialist polices really don’t work but the nation will accept those policies if they can just get the press to lie often enough and long enough.

@retire05:

One lone voice in the wilderness is Fox News. Sure, it has its Obama sycophants like Juan Williams, et al, but every now and then it exposes the belly of the beast

I sometimes think that Juan and Bechtel on “The Five” and the like are token leftists tossed in as red meat to the viewer base… pMSNBC does the same thing with Buchannan. It’s kind of pointless I think. Most of these arguments come down to fundamental philosophical differences. It’s almost like arguing religion.

@Jim S:

I often wondered why Fox hired Bob Beckel, the guy who paid a hooker with a hot check. Juan Williams is too afraid of being labeled an “Uncle Tom” so he often goes overboard, as does Beckel.

As to arguing religion, you must understand that Socialism to the Socialist IS religion. They believe with all their heart, and soul. Point out to them that Socialism has never worked in any nation where it has been tried, and they will simply shrug their shoulders and explain how it wasn’t done right or by the right person [people]. Point out that Socialism has only brought misery where ever it was instituted, and they will say “but, but……capitalism” as if that says it all.

@retire05:

Juan Williams is too afraid of being labeled an “Uncle Tom”

remember back when Juan was fired from PBS? He was so pathetic as if he wanted sympathy for being ‘wronged’. Imagine being a socialist working for a socialist organization and being fired for not carrying their water? But he’s back full blown anti American since then.

@Redteam: Why should Fox be trusted any more than the rest? Common sense would suggest they are pushing their own agenda. Foolish and naive to think otherwise.

@John: And what does any of that to do with Obama trying to suppress their news reports?

@rich wheeler: Why should Fox be trusted any more than the rest? Common sense would suggest they are pushing their own agenda. Foolish and naive to think otherwise.

One reason to trust them more than others is because the others keep getting caught lying, suppressing stories, inventing “facts” and manipulating information while Fox doesn’t. The main problem you leftists have with Fox is that they report unflattering stories about your failed ideology that you never see elsewhere. Apparently, the left is not smart enough to question why, they just listen to their thought directors and vilify the reporting.

The left cannot stand up to scrutiny. Scrutiny reveals all those blemishes and warts that mark the failure of liberalism so the left does all it can to suppress these truths.

Ever wonder why only the left tries to limit free speech and expression? It’s because this frightens them.

@rich wheeler: Why should Fox be trusted any less than the MSM? Seems that Fox does NOT adhere to the same agenda but that does NOT mean they should be treated any differently does it?

@Bill: Do you seriously believe that Fox should be trusted more than CNN? If so it merely displays YOUR political bent. Their is NO evidence to support your belief.Like religion you are basing it on faith, not necessarily the truth.
You are indoctrinated similar to those who blindly follow MSNBC. Do you give CNN equal time?

Common Sense All “news” including FOX should be taken with a large grain of salt. Does anyone with an ounce of sense think Hannity is not spouting B.S.

@rich wheeler:

Fox is no different from any other news sources, well, except for maybe MSNBC which is nothing more than a propaganda outlet for Obama. All are comprised of those who are left, right and the squishy middle. It’s just that Fox has those on the right who are not afraid to point out the left and the fallacy of the leftist agenda (which is, in the end, Socialism).

As to Sean Hannity, he is a commentator, not a reporter. I would have thought you knew the difference. But if you want to compare the number of mistakes made by Hannity compared to Al Sharpton, who is also a commentator in MSNBC, you will be on the losing end with Sharpton. And then, there is always Tingles Chris Matthews who is simply a lunatic.

People are sick of being lied to by those that claimed to be “journalists.” Dan Rather and Brian Williams proved that.

@rich wheeler: For once, I completely agree with Rich.

Fox is just a “right” analog of the other “left” media.

When Fox News started, it just seemed like a business opportunity.

80% of the media leans left (if don’t think so, it’s because you’re “left” and they’re preaching to your choir).

This is because a vast majority of those in media are left-leaning. Journalism is a subculture, and that subculture is liberal. It is what it is.

Besides, Fox is the strongest force in the media for furthering the leftist agenda.

Yes, I said that. I can’t talk to a leftie without them invoking “fox”..and usually if I say I disagree with something they said. The assumption that “fox” got to me is instant. No dialogue. No conversation. they’re arguing in their head with the “Outrage” they got from leftist media. Fox Derangement Syndrome…like Bush.

And this is mirrored in the right, by the fox viewers.

F*ck’m all. The “news” is not our friend. They sell advertising, and also sell seats in the house, senate, and WH.

Reject it all…

If you haven’t read and pondered this quote from Noam Chomsky, I suggest you do so. It makes brothers and sisters of the right and left, and rightly so…:

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum….” -Noam Chomsky.

We are being controlled by arguing about “blackness” and “big media” and “Iran”…

We’re thoroughly controlled.

@rich wheeler:

anyone with an ounce of sense think Hannity is not spouting B.S.

FLASH! Rich, Hannity is not a news reporter. His is an entertainment show as is O’Reilly. I would have thought you knew that. Whilst all the other news stations get caught lying and misrepresenting, you never see or hear that about Fox. Why is that? And if you don’t think Shep Smith is a leftie, you just haven’t watched him.

@Redteam

If you never hear about Fox getting caught lying, it must be because you plug your fingers in your ears LOL.

Nathan Blue Concur

@Nathan Blue:

Fox is just a “right” analog of the other “left” media.

Fox for the most part has a progressive-establishment bent. with very few exceptions, it is as disdainful to the conservative Republican party base and as hostile to the TEA Party movement as the leftist-socialist-progressive MSM.

I can not consider them to be at all representative of “the Right” nor the “GOP” unless you only mean the RINOs and progressive-establishment GOP party leadership. They are at best progressive-lite. Aside from an occasional guest, the closest thing they have to a conservative is Hannity who (as has been pointed out,) is only a commentator.

@rich wheeler: Yet you promote that Fox should be trusted less or not at all, revealingYOUR massive bias. Do you not remember CNN’s “news” reporting when the Tea Parties began, trying to depict them as racist and biased? Where is CNN reporting on Hillary’s scandals and how she shields herself from questions? While CNN may be on a level above MSNBC (who isn’t?), they are still part of the left wing media league of propagandists.

@rewinn: For that to have traction, you need to provide the accompanying facts, which you don’t/can’t. Sure, sometimes someone makes mistakes, which you want to call “lies”, yet when your corrupt media or even the politicians are proven to be lying, you like to write it off as “mis-speaking”.

@rewinn:

Not one is a news anchor. The only real anchor is Bret Baier

@rewinn:

Politifact is a bullshit organization. They defended “You can keep your doctor and your plan..” as true for years until making it lie of the year. They’re idiots and they’re highly partisan.

Fox News is what’s on the website and it’s Baier. He really does not inject opinion into stories where the others may. The others you mentioned are primarily entertainment shows. I think Hemmer and MacCallum and Jon Scott are pretty good news people. Shepard Smith gets emotional and he leans left. Hannity and O’Reilly are NOT newsmen. I can’t stand either of them.

And BTW, there aren’t 57 states and you don’t treat asthma with a Breathalyzer. Obama made both claims but Politicrap failed to address either.

@Common Sense: The MSM today are no better than PRAVDA was in the USSR. They block and tackle for the Obama regime, it’s what they live for. Soon the media will go to bat for Hillary…it’s so predictable.

I watch Fox, pedominately, because the bias of the others is sickening. However, I do not regard Fox as the Messiah or infallible. For instance, if you can recall the Shirley Sherrod case; they took a luscious story about her admitting to denying white farmers the same benefits she provided for black farmers. What was omitted, by Breitbart, I believe, was the remaining context of where she said that was wrong.

IMMEDIATELY (within a half hour or so) Fox had apologized and corrected the error.

Again, people “mis-speak”, but has Fox ever fabricated out of thin air documents that could have altered a Presidential election, in favor of the Democrat? Does Fox take 911 audio and edit it to make it sound racist? Does Fox have journalists asking racist questions of minority candidates? Does Fox have any kind of worthless, race-baiting, lying, instigating sh*t-bag to compare to Al Sharpton? Or a serial liar like Brian Williams?

Face it, liberals, Fox is not the source of your bad news, they simply are the only ones that will make you confront it. And, obviously and beyond any doubt, NONE of you EVER watch it, preferring to allow other sites and left-wing comedians to provide you your entire opinion of them. Don’t blame me OR Fox for your level of stupidity. It is your own handiwork.

@Bill: I watch Fox regularly.Think O’Reilly the most interesting news on cable—like Blitzer on CNN..
Like i said—-Fox is watched by geriatric white folk–of which I am one.–note they almost never speak of improved economic numbers, the housing recovery or the record stock market highs.
What’s not to like about Meghan? Baier and Smith truly boring.–Caputo–clueless

Bill CNN “SICKENING BIAS” Not so.

@rich wheeler:

-note they never speak of improved economic numbers, the housing recovery or the record stock market highs.

If you are going to claim you “watch Fox regularly, you should be more careful about presenting definite proof that you don’t. Whenever the markets hit a record level, it is reported. Whenever unemployment drops, it is reported. Whenever economic indicators show improvement, it is reported.

BUT….

They also report that the unemployment figures do not include those who have simply dropped out of the job markets (participation rates). They report that, though the market peaked, middle class wages are down. They report when the administration revises their economic growth figures… DOWN, months after they have been reported and forgotten about.

In other words, they report what is NEWS, not just what liberals want to hear to make them feel better about their abysmal choices and life style. They also report the Republican screw-ups as well and, as you may have noticed, are not “all Republican, all the time”.

@rewinn: you can hardly quote a fact checker that is a socialist, liberal site and expect anything other than more liberal lies. Note; which of those do you consider is a ‘major lie’ that would make any difference even if true? How about the one by John Stossel,“There is no good data showing secondhand smoke kills people.” How about taking that on as a project and prove that it’s not true. Produce the ‘good’ data that proves that second hand smoke kills. Don’t believe you can do it.

@rich wheeler:

It’s listeners and true believers are geriatric white Conservatives.

Does that prove you are a racist?

@Ditto: 22 True.

Fox for the most part has a progressive-establishment bent.

a good example is that O’Reilly believes the Warren Commission was right and that LHO was involved in killing JFK. Imagine?

@drjohn: DrJohn. let me correct you.

And BTW, there aren’t 57 states

Obama said he had campaigned in 57 states, one to go and they weren’t going to Hawaii or Alaska. so that clearly adds up to 60 states.

The irony of Obama claiming to not watch the news is how often he finds out about scandals by watching the news!

Maybe if he controlled the news he could prevent us all from finding out about any of his scandals.
heh.

@Redteam: You are The King of Conspiracy Theories–not necessarily a bad thing.
LHO ??

the “pres isoff his rocker!! Put togher all the control he has and it’s acomplete ysakeover of government!

@rich wheeler:

LHO ??

No Rich, that does not stand for Laughing Head Off. It is for Lee Harvey Oswald, the patsy in the LBJ coup d’ etat of JFK.

@DDP: Well, DDT…er, DDP, I am kind of pissed off right now. Problem is, I am not sure what I am pissed off about. Is it the fact that you, among many other liberals, confuse comedy with news and information? Is it the fact that you didn’t notice the fact that this little skit didn’t actually make your point? Or, was it the fact that you caused me to waste 14 minutes waiting for what it was you thought you saw that made Obama’s assertion?

Did you happen to notice the tactic, common on liberal presentations, where ALL the context is removed? Stewart (the ignoramus, not Varney) rolled out the titles of specific segments addressing specific points; they were NOT a roll-out of individual statements claiming ALL poor were moochers. Of course, the dishonest Stewart included none of the points made in the individual segments, only the titles.

Stossel’s segment identified specific and definite actual cases of welfare fraud which not only costs the taxpayers billions of dollars (something liberals, who go out of their way to avoid contributing, care nothing about) but also siphons off money that could actually help those who actually need it; something else liberals care nothing about.

Also, where WAS the statement that ALL the poor are moochers? Or, are is it that YOU believe there are NONE of the poor that are moochers? Is it your contention that none of the poor are gaming the system, living off the taxpayer and taking everything they can get for as long as they can get it? Does this mean EVERY poor person does this? No, but are there MANY that do? This is beyond dispute.

OH… and one more thing. Now, this is a technicality, which is why I did not lead off with it, but, since you enjoy the dishonesty of your religion of liberalism so much, it must be pointed out.

Stewart Varney is not on Fox News. He WAS not on Fox News. He was on Fox Business and he was discussing things ECONOMIC.

Had I not watched that segment in the context of the lying Obama’s accusation or your foolish ignorance that this, in any way whatsoever, proved your moronic point, I might have thought it funny. All it managed to do was piss me off and confirm my very low opinion of your intelligence. You are yet another lame, ignorant liberal lemming.

Obama is either no longer concerned with being caught in lies, or his is an absolute moron when it comes to history. I just watched a CNN recording of him saying, “Chlorine has not been considered historically as a chemical weapon.”

So he either is completely ignorant of WW I, where chlorine was used – in fact was the first chemical weapon used – or he is one of the most blatant liars ever to exist.

What a completely despicable worm.

Without FOX News Obama could get away with whoppers and who would be the wiser?
Like today when Obama complained that the nation’s top 25 hedge-fund managers earned more than did the nation’s kindergarten teachers combined.

Well, sort of.
Like if you compare only take home on Kindergarten teachers with ALL renumerations of hedge fund managers.

The typical teacher retires with a pension that would be worth upwards of half a million dollars if it were an annuity — which is to say, teachers individually receive the equivalent of about ten years’ median household income in the form of largely untaxed pension benefits, with lifelong medical benefits that are extremely valuable, too.

If you do an apples V apples comparison it is even the two groups out considerably!
And you have to subtract all of the money hedge fund managers make because they are investing for Kindergarten teachers, too.
Otherwise how would either group make its money?
It wouldn’t make as much at all!

Now how about Obama take the top 25 college football coaches and note that the same applies.
Or the top education administrators.
Or the top 25 of any group.
And BTW, what does one have to do with the other, anyway?
He’s just being divisive again.
Most of the time it is by race, this time it is by income inequality.

@Bill:

All it managed to do was piss me off and confirm my very low opinion of your intelligence. You are yet another lame, ignorant liberal lemming.

I think you’re right Bill, DDP doesn’t even realize that skit didn’t even make the point he thought he was trying to make. I can see why liberals might think it was funny, they don’t know the truth.

@Pete:

So he either is completely ignorant of WW I, where chlorine was used – in fact was the first chemical weapon used – or he is one of the most blatant liars ever to exist.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Obama thinks mustard gas is a spray on condiment.

@Pete, #41:

“Chlorine itself has not been historically listed as a chemical weapon…”

What Obama actually said is entirely correct. Chlorine gas can be used as a weapon and has been used as a weapon, but it is neither classified as a chemical weapon nor controlled as such. It’s a common, highly toxic industrial chemical, widely used in water treatment plants.

@Greg: All through the Iraq war we knew this.
Most of the chemical weapons Saddam Hussein used on his own people were legally designated as ”Dual-Use Chemicals.”
That means, like with sodium nitrate, it can be an explosive BUT it can also be a fertilizer.
Chlorine can be used to keep pools and spas clean BUT it can also be used to poison people to death.
And yes, chlorine gas was used by the Germans in WWI.
It was first used on April 22, 1915.
Look it up.

@Greg:

No, Greg. What he said is NOT correct. He said chlorine has not HISTORICALLY been considered a chemical weapon. The very first chemical weapon attack by the Germans against the allies in WW I was chlorine gas. Mustard gas was the second. It was supplanted by the organophosphate based nerve gas that was later developed, along with the blood agents that are vastly more effective in killing. His statement, along with the contradictory comment that chlorine could be used a weapon is nothing more than typical nonsequetor leftist obfuscation of the fact that he doesn’t want to admit the Syrians have deployed chemical weapons, since he would be expected to back up his red line bloviations from last year.

@Greg:

That’s true. It’s also true that liberals declared the vast amounts of organophosphates, which are precursors to chemical weapons, to be agricultural, despite the fact they were buried underground in the middle of the desert in Iraq.

@mike191: as in ‘aw s-it’?

Is Obama ”fighting” ISIS (or, ISIL, as he calls them)?
If he were wouldn’t he assist countries like Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia by arming them?
He is NOT fighting ISIS (which just retook Ramadi).
We won’t learn this from his well-controlled msm, however.
Here’s the facts:
China will sell Jordan missile-firing drones to battle ISIS after Obama denied their request.

Any coverage on ABCNBCCBSCNN?
Didn’t think so.
