FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

I also like my presidents to show the least bit of boldness when discussing articles of war.
I know he is a wimp by nature, but at least fake it, for God's sake.

 

I read the tea leaves.
I don't swallow every morsel fed me by a complicit and cowardly media.
You should try thinking for yourself sometime - I presume you paid a lot for a college education so you could do so.

 

You mean the educational power structure in Texas, which wants to teach more "positive" history? And which "press" power? You accuse them of being "stenographers", then when they report something outside the narrative, you complain about it.

 

Talk about obfuscating.

 

You're going to have to be ore specific.

 

It's The Narrative™, silly.

I've called every misadventure of this clown's second term.
I really wish the 'progressives' would look in the rearview mirror once in awhile to see the chaos they've created.
That would show some shred of intellectual morality.
Listen - bumbling presidents do matter.
Poorly crafted foreign policy will get people killed.
Pretending certian nations are friendly and not deadly gets people killed.

You know, I get a kick every time you guys mock the "narrative", all while not denying it exists, and as you provide additional examples.

Buy, hey, we had so much fun last time, let's do it again.

Let me know which of you work, or worked, for a news organization that:

A.) Did independent reporting on Senator/Candidate/President Obama's bio.

2.) Covered Senator Obama on the 2008 Presidential campaign (on the campaign, not just when he showed up locally.).

C.) Has a current White House correspondent

I await the flood of responses.

 

Here's a couple of big time news guys admitting they've done no reporting on the guy, and instead let him write his own narrative:

ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don't, either.

ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: Yeah, it's an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.

BROKAW: Two of them! I don't know what books he's read.

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.
