Why the White House Shouldn't Play Chicken With Fox {Politics Daily}
Oct 21st 2009 6:17PM Quite interesting how freedom of speech has no meaning with some people. If you think Fox is slanted then you will have to agree that MSNBC among others is also slanted in the opposite direction. What Obama is naively saying is that if you disagree with him you have no credibility. That of course in nonsense but what he really has done is to insult the large number of independent voters (which he needs) and some Democrats (believe it or not) who watch Fox. Even the other media types are starting to realize what a slippery slope this is. The White House is being very immature and their inexperience is showing.
As for Glen Beck, he can be over the top, but he wasn't wrong about ACORN or the Czar who resigned was he? Where was the other media types on those subjects? Obama has generally been given a pass by many outlets and the healthiness thing for this country is an active and investigative media and a media which comes from different points of view. The concept of "pure journalism" went out the door with Dan Rather and others. There are very few if any true journalists left.
Roland Burris Defends ACORN, Says 'Fox Sting' and 'Agendas' to Blame {Politics Daily}
Oct 8th 2009 3:30PM I guess this makes sense if you consider the source
White House Goes After Glenn Beck 'Smear' and Fox News 'Lies' {Politics Daily}
Oct 1st 2009 4:07PM Obama needs to start acting more presidential and stop campaigning. He is rising to the bait if he keeps attacking those who disagree with him. All that does is empower the person he is attacking. This country has bigger things to worry about. If the woman's background is trouble it will come out, if not it will go away. I do have to say Beck was right about the first two.
Increased passenger ticket fee may help pay for airport expansions {Gadling}
Sep 9th 2009 9:52AM These funds go into the Aviation Trust Fund and have for years and years. Guess what - the govt. has spent only a fraction of the money. The rest has been "borrowed" by the government to the point where there is no way that you and I will ever get a fraction of the improvements we have paid for.
Sen. Ted Kennedy Dies {Politics Daily}
Aug 26th 2009 9:26AM I didn't see any mention of the poor woman who drowned when he drove her into the water and then left her. Imagine that.
Obama Should Axe Daylight Time -- NYT Op-Ed Explains Why {Green Daily}
Nov 30th 2008 11:44AM I think Obama has bigger things to worry about.
TSA to Create new Green "Family" Lane {Gadling}
Nov 19th 2008 10:55AM In concept some of this is a good idea, but in reality it sucks. I would consider myself an expert, I fly at least 120,000 miles per year which equates to about 100 flights. More often than not, when I get in the expert line there is a family from some foreign country that is clueless trying to get through, or some guy with a world championship rodeo belt buckle trying to walk through the detector.
Another Day of Gaffes for Joe Biden {Politics Daily}
Sep 23rd 2008 9:06PM I wouldn't have believed it a week ago, but I think Biden is setting himself up to be able to resign and let Obama try to rescue his ticket by replacing him with Hillary.
Hot Seat: Did Rush Tilt Indiana? {Politics Daily}
May 8th 2008 11:39AM Minnesota Republican - You got to be kidding. This is the state that gave us prohibition, Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, Paul Wellstone, Jesse Ventura (ind) and now has Al Franken running for Senate. The Decocrats have had a strangle hold on this state forever. This is one of the first states to have a law against everything.
