Obama: ‘Those meanies at FOX keep trying to ask me tough questions.’
BWHAAAW!
I call it whining on Obama’s part. I watched those Bill O’Rielly interviews with Obama during the campaign, and IMO even O’Rielly treated him with kid-gloves. I expected tough questions, such as the leftist MSM was throwing at the Republicans, and Bill let us down big time.
All Obama does is this evasive nonanswer game, and NOBODY calls ever him on it. (Except for blogs like this one). Remembering the MSM treatment of Bill Clinton, I can’t say that I was surprised, but the reality of just how protective and mooney-eyed the press is with Obama is absolutely sickening.
Yes, FOX’s Neil (“No I’m not Eddie Munster”) Cavuto has asked some tough questions, but they are merely rhetorical because chicken-shit Obama will not let himself be questioned by FOX. (O’Rielly has a crew he uses but they seem pretty pathetic and unwilling to be as rude and tenatious as liberal reporters.)
The only FOX Anchor I would expect to even try to sneak-in a hard hitting reporter is Glen Beck. I think that FOX needs to get some real gung-ho journalists in their ‘On-Location” crews and into the White House press briefings to take up the slack for all the in-the-tank MSM watch-puppies.

Hussein does not like free speech. I remember when President Bush was called Hitler and chimp plus all manner of other derisive names. His answer was always the same. Yes but we live in a country where we have free speech. We may not have free speech much longer.

Obama doesn’t give interviews he sits down for timed discussions. Here’s how I see it interviewers always start off with soft questions, Obama latches on to a soft topic and rambles on and on running out the clock sometimes changing the subject but always ending with the same not my fault theme “inherited mess, the former administartion, ….”

He’s the master of double talk – speak about a subject for 5 minutes and say virtually nothing substantial. I always get a kick out of his efforts to appear like he is really soul searching when he answers a question he clearly has no idea what he is talking about.

ABC Employees Contributed Overwhelmingly to Obama
By CPR Staff on June 18, 2009 10:41 AM
Interesting to Note…
An analysis of contributions to the Obama and McCain campaign shows that ABC employees contributed more than $160,000 to the Obama campaign versus less than $5,000 to the McCain campaign.
The real question is: Why would he interview with and obviously right wing slanted Noise organization? They are not about news they are totally about right wing spin.
Really Bruce?
Really?
Show me proof of this so called “bias”.
Where is it?
You whine, cry, and gripe about people here not presenting facts….where are yours?
Then, when you finish providing a factual basis for your argument on this thread (snicker) you can slither over here to get your daily dose of reality.

Again with the perception deception. It’s not that he’s afraid of tough questions. He hasn’t gotten ONE tough question yet. He’s afraid of direct, real questions. Long way to go before anyone has the testicular fortitude to ask a ‘tough’ question.

@Real American Patriot: seriously? Is that truth, or what you /believe/ about FOX? I personally try not to take my news from the major stations, mainly because they /all/ have a bias and something to sell. It takes someone that is extremely brainwashed to look at fox news, call it biased, and then look at CNN or MSNBC and say, ‘wow, that is real, unbiased, untainted, news’. Or worse, not say anything at all.
Its funny that no one on the left questions this… MSNBC/CNN etc all pounded Bush during his time as president. Not to mention the handful of other top news stations in our country. There is one (1) news station that speaks out about his policies and Obama snickers at them, calls them liars, and refuses to have anything to do with them. On top of that, all his other brainwashed minions carry his message forward.. just like you are doing. Maybe there need to be a mass unplugging of the People from the Matrix?
All hail Obama, all hail obama, all hail obama. All for the motherland. All hail obama, all hail obama, down with the traitors.

and
“I don’t want to remember nothing. Nothing. You understand? [pause] And I want to be rich. You know, someone important, like an actor.”
Mabe he protests because ;
– he was coddled in Chicago, and as US Senator has become very thin-skinned to criticism.
(Exampled of his tantrum on the senate floor last year with Joel Lieberman — after
after Lieberman dared to criticize BHO’s campaign stands on Israel.
– FOX dares to compare BHO’s actions versus his words
-FOX offers oppositional debate.
-FOx has dared to show BHO’s airbrushed “grey-hair” in the FDR template
-FOX pointed out his mustache in Cairo
-FOX has Charles Krauthammer offering political analysis almost every night
-FOX dares to show the most magnificent “Cszar of Communications” for the stumbling,
bumbling, kiss-ass that he is
-FOX dares to offer CBO numbers and various poll numbers
-FOX is investigating ACORN et al.
In essence,
He hates FOX NEWS because they do not fuel his “magic carpet ride.” What he IS DOING is fueling a growing opposition (including those who voted for him thinking he was a centrist.)
I don’t think it matters if he goes on FOX… the known FOX audience is growing substantialy. O’Reilly has recently pulled more audience than Ms Couric and sky is the limit….people ultimately
find their truth comfort level.
It is time that this child-like, thin-skinned man who occupies the Oval Office, grow-up and become a leader. Real leadership decisions should override popularity polls…and a leader does not sit and wait for an outcome to stand up” for American values.
This President professes to be Lincoln, JFK, FDR or whomever his fancy strikes — but like everything else around him, I wonder if he really knows what they actually stood for — if so, he should be embarassed of the act that has been scripted for him.
I predict a meltdown –ON AIR — as his numbers plummet. FOX NEWS should stay away and keep analysis going……on the real issues in the world while BHO tries to play media movie star.

We all know where Real American Patriot will be during ABC’s Obama Crib-O-Palozza.
Use both eyes for once RAP and watch for me. I’ll be fishing…..
The real question is: Why would he interview with and obviously right wing slanted Noise organization? They are not about news they are totally about right wing spin.
And ABC, CBS, NBC & CNN are unbiased? They NEVER ask the president anything difficult. WHO in the past has had a place in the white house like ABC?
Hello? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
A bunch of Yahoos voted Obama in as President AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF. I told people that if he did win, that Iran and North Korea would really start up. WHY? Because generally speaking, the left is weak and will do everything they can to avoid war. They’d pimp out their mothers if they thought it would avoid confrontation and the weasels of the world know this.
“I’ll shake my finger at you again if you do that!!! You just wait. I have it read to shake at you…”
If Obama doesn’t have the spine/balls to go on a news station that might *OMG* ask him something difficult, then ….
HOW CAN I HAVE FAITH HE WILL STAND UP TO COUNTRIES LIKE NORTH KOREA?
It is a very interesting examination of Fascism. A few things that caught my eye:
Mussolini’s own summary of the Fascist philosophy: “Tutto nello Stato, niente al di fuori dello Stato, nulla contro lo Stato” (Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State)
“Mussolini ha sempre ragione (“Mussolini is always right”).” (Gee, who else is seen that way by the MSM?)
“He (Mussolini) was coming to the belief which was soon to dominate his life — that the existing order must be overthrown by an elite of revolutionaries acting in the name of the people”.
“There Mussolini was still following a distinctly radical line… He even welcomed the occupation of the factories” (Sound Familiar? GM for example?)
“Mussolini in March 1936 told the council of corporations that he did not wish to bureaucratize the entire economy of the nation but in practice the extension of government activities everywhere brought with it a top-heavy organization, slow and unresponsive, and quite out of touch with ordinary people”.
The major difference in policies is the obsession with “Globalism” within both major’ party leaders in Washington DC, over the Nationalism of Fascist Italy and German.

Aye:
Are you really blind enough not to realize that Fox is full of right wing Bias???
I doubt anyone is that blind. However, you are challenging me to find it?? it’s to easy come on.
BTW This string is supposedly saying Obama is afraid of Fox so called news. I have a question for you WHY did Bush and Cheney almost always give their exclusive interviews to FOX? Could it be they because they realize Fox is a right wing news outlet? Did they ever give even one to MSNBC?
I have a question for you WHY did Bush and Cheney almost always give their exclusive interviews to FOX?
“Almost always”??
Almost….Always….he says.
Hmmmmm… well, I have already found and posted two examples of other networks doing interviews with President Bush, so your premise is on rocky ground already.
So, prove the remainder of “almost always” for us.
Give us the data, the raw numbers.
I look forward to seeing your non-response.
One final note. You never did comment on Obama’s record of broken promises that I posted about here and here and here.
Nor have you commented on Obie’s violation of his own IG law which Scott and Curt posted on here and here.
I guess those topics are above your pay grade, eh?
@Aye Chihuahua: Bush and Cheney gave plenty of interviews to the other networks. And lately, Cheney has appeared on CNN nearly as often as he has on Fox News.
Neither Bush, nor Cheney hid from the networks that were openly biased against them. It really says something about Obama that he can’t stand to be questioned by Fox PERIOD!
CRAP should be embarrassed that his man is such a wimp. But then… birds of a feather flock together!

Did I ever say Cheney had not appeared on CNN??? Nearly as often?? (where are the RAW numbers as AYE would say) Did I even indicate CNN in this?? NOPE not once. Are you saying they are slanted LEFT?? If so speak up!!! WE know it’s all BS coming from you anyway.
AYE:
Just in case you missed it… I asked a QUESTION if BUSH ever gave an interview with MSNBC.
It was not a statement.. However, both Bush and Cheney often used FOX for their interviews.
Why?? Because they both know FOX is nothing more than a right wing mouth piece.
Yes, you asked a question about MSNBC, the tingly leg network.
The overall tone and tenor of your question was accusatory, indicating that you believe that Bush never gave an interview to that network.
Missy and I both answered your question for you.
In your post you also said that Bush and Cheney “almost always” gave their interviews to FOX.
Here are your words for easy reference:
I have a question for you WHY did Bush and Cheney almost always give their exclusive interviews to FOX?
It is your contention that they “almost always” gave their interviews to FOX.
I want the data that you used to make that statement. Where are the facts? Where are your sources? I’m not going to do your research for you in order to prove or disprove your point. That is your responsibility.
You claim to be all about facts. (Snicker)

The Bush presidency was not a media blitz presidency, he did not use the Oval Office and all the trappings to promote himself like Clinton did and Obama is doing now, didn’t shove his face out there on a daily basis, didn’t seek the adulation the other two seem to crave. He definately was not over exposed like Obama is rapidly becoming.
Bush treated the press respectfully, unlike what Obama is now doing with FOX and all who watch it, the press did not reciprocrate, btw. It’s a sick little game with Obama, he’s trying to diminish the channel and viewers because he mistakenly thinks they are all right wing. Interesting to see the FOX ratings going up as Obama’s ratings are slipping.
Speaking of facts, it is a fact that FOX news hosts complained that Bush interviews were going to other networks, that he wasn’t out selling the war and his other policies, that he would reach a more diverse audience by coming on FOX. Any other FOX watcher remember that? In comparison to the other two presidents, what few interviews the Bush administration gave were more fairly spread around.
Obama is using MSM to promote himself, he is out on almost a daily basis, still campaigning and they are letting him get away with it. His stance on FOX is childish, no other way to explain it. Even Hillary interviewed with several FOX hosts, Greta, Colmes, O’Reilly but, the manchild chooses to be devisive, remember Obama denouncing “devisive” during his campaign for the presidency? Now he flip flops on that one during his never ending campaign for Obama.

Hey guys,
Obama’s approval ratings are still quite high. He’s is both well liked and well respected nationally and internationally. Most Americans do not think that the country is turning into some kind of socialist nightmare. The comments on this site are nothing more than mental masturbation for conservatives. You guys live in a fantasy world where the President is running around terrified of the big bad tough guys at Fox. Give me a break. Fox News Channel is the tabloid of television.

You claim to be all about facts. (Snicker)
You made the statement. Now, support it.
It should be easily proven….if true.
Your move.
The Bush presidency was not a media blitz presidency, he did not use the Oval Office and all the trappings to promote himself like Clinton did and Obama is doing now, didn’t shove his face out there on a daily basis, didn’t seek the adulation the other two seem to crave. He definately was not over exposed like Obama is rapidly becoming.
Bush treated the press respectfully, unlike what Obama is now doing with FOX and all who watch it, the press did not reciprocrate, btw. It’s a sick little game with Obama, he’s trying to diminish the channel and viewers because he mistakenly thinks they are all right wing. Interesting to see the FOX ratings going up as Obama’s ratings are slipping.
Speaking of facts, it is a fact that FOX news hosts complained that Bush interviews were going to other networks, that he wasn’t out selling the war and his other policies, that he would reach a more diverse audience by coming on FOX. Any other FOX watcher remember that? In comparison to the other two presidents, what few interviews the Bush administration gave were more fairly spread around.
Obama is using MSM to promote himself, he is out on almost a daily basis, still campaigning and they are letting him get away with it. His stance on FOX is childish, no other way to explain it. Even Hillary interviewed with several FOX hosts, Greta, Colmes, O’Reilly but, the manchild chooses to be devisive, remember Obama denouncing “devisive” during his campaign for the presidency? Now he flip flops on that one during his never ending campaign for Obama.
Hey guys,
Obama’s approval ratings are still quite high. He’s is both well liked and well respected nationally and internationally. Most Americans do not think that the country is turning into some kind of socialist nightmare. The comments on this site are nothing more than mental masturbation for conservatives. You guys live in a fantasy world where the President is running around terrified of the big bad tough guys at Fox. Give me a break. Fox News Channel is the tabloid of television.
Sean, put down the crack pipe. How about you give us proof obama is well liked? Being trusted is not the same as liked. The polls seem to indicate he isn’t trusted. The fact you think that tells us you are the one in fantasy land.
