Wonder when AOL plans to feature story on Obama record

November 30, 2011 by B. Daniel Blatt

From one of the revolving lists of headlines this morning on AOL (“news” content provided by the Huffington Post):

You’d think stories about a federal government program selling guns to Mexican druglords (without informing the Mexican government or putting tracking devices on the firearms) would be just a tad more newsworthy than a Republican presidential candidate’s eating habits.

But, then again, maybe these folks are following the lead of the New York Times which, in reporting on Mr. Romney’s hair, seemed to be following the lead of magazines covering celebrities and the entertainment industry.

Seems we at GayPatriot are not the only ones taking notice.  Bruce shared this tweet with me:

Barracuda Brigade reported:

On Tuesday, the former House Speaker spoke to St. Louis radio host and Big Journalism editor Dana Loesch about this saying, “It’s a little sad to see a paper the quality of the Washington Post stoop to…the National Enquirer approach to life” adding they “would rather worry about rumors about conservatives than facts about the President”

The Republican candidate was referring to the tweet we mentioned here. Can you imagine what the president’s poll numbers would look like if our friends in the MSM subjected him (and his team) to the same time of scrutiny to which they subject Republicans on a regular basis?

    It´s possible that we brought it on ourselves. We are the Party of values. We take the high road and expect candidates to do likewise. We are not forgiving of those who stray. Democrats have no values and take the low road. Thats why they could nominate Bill Clinton while the Jennifer Flowers incident was being made public. Even Monica Lewinsky was much ado about nothing for them. The only Democrat that I remember being upset by Clinton´s peccadilloes, was Senator Lieberman. Then, of course, there is Barney Frank with his main squeeze at the time, running a male escourt service from Barney´s residence. Who said the Barney doesn´t support the entreprenuerial spirit?

    Roberto nails it!

    This just in from AP:

    Obama: ‘No ally more important than Israel’

    NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama is reassuring Jewish supporters that his administration is committed to the security of Israel. He says: “We don’t compromise when it comes to Israel’s security.”

    Obama was speaking to a group of campaign contributors at the Upper East Side home of Jack Rosen, a prominent businessman and chairman of the American Jewish Congress. Obama commented after Rosen mentioned “concerns” within the Jewish community about the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

    Rosen added that America has never been as supportive of Israel’s security as it has been under Obama.

    Obama said no ally is more important than the state of Israel.

    Obama angered Israel’s supporters this year by asserting that negotiations over future Palestinian borders begin with lines Israel held before capturing the West Bank and Gaza in 1967.

    Translation: Tell them what they want to hear. Screw them. Idiots.

    My translation: Useful idiots will always go full bore for the taffy pull. Only realists understand gang rape when they encounter it.

    And to think those fools believe Obama as long as his lips are moving and saying the things they WANT to hear. Obama’s actions in the Mideast and support for Israel sure don’t match his actions.
