Barack Obama’s Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
A number of things happened yesterday, none of which are particularly beneficial to the Obama campaign:
- Three polls were released showing the race tightening, the National Journal survey, the NBC/WSJ poll & Rasmussen’s tracking.
- Vice President Biden acknowledged that the middle class has “been buried the last four years”, a time period which nearly perfectly corresponds with his tenure in office.
- The Daily Caller released a video which, at the least, reminds Americans that for twenty years, Barack Obama attended the church of a prejudiced pastor.
- Another solar panel manufacturer which received a loan guarantee from the federal government declared bankruptcy.
- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform “to withhold any final conclusions about the Benghazi attack until the review board finishes its work and reports to Congress, which could come as early as November or as late as early next year.“* (Via HotAir and Powerline.) And everyone knows what takes place this November. Another remind of how politicized the administration reaction to the attack has become.
Now, most of these stories won’t attract the media scrutiny they would attract if they involved, say, a Republican White House, but people are paying attention and news does seem to get past the legacy media’s filters.
Can you imagine the clamor for immediate answers if a Republican Secretary of State had urged the chair of a congressional committee to wait until after the election for answers to a question of national security?
*Recognizing “that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi is being investigated,” Pejman Yousefzadeh is having. . .
. . . trouble understanding why the White House can’t answer a simple query: Did the consulate request additional security prior to the attack on it–the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stephens?
Seems to me that this is a question that can be answered with a simple “yes,” or “no.” When the answer instead is “no comment,”** then something certainly smells fishy.
Indeed. Via Instapundit.

Romney’s best strategy for the next few weeks would be to keep a live microphone perpetually duct-taped to Joe Biden’s face.

I am not even sure a democratic president not named Obama would get the free pass the press is giving Obama.
I think Clinton would have had his feet held to the fire if some of this stuff had happened while he was sitting in the Oval Office.
The press is unwilling to criticize this president and even worse they look for ways to spin the crap to Obama’s favor.

The divide is clearly drawn. Those who are astounded by the chicanery and dissembling and those who say: “He didn’t do it and I saw him not do it.”
For the MSM and so many leftists, the Affirmative Action does not end until Obama has his two full terms. They can not admit to any errors on his part or on their part for giving him a free ride.
Misfeasance and malfeasance are off table when appraising and praising Obama. They are the starting point when shredding Romney. That is how the Ugabugga Yoyo media thinks and works as they carry their Obamessiah sitting on his elevated throne upon their shoulders.
The only thing missing are the beads and women flashing their bare chests. (Andrea Mitchell? No, thanks.)

E MSM seems to be accepting Obama’s premise that he can run against Romney as the incumbent. It is crazy. They go along with Obama demanding to hear exactly what deductions that Romney would phase out in his tax overhaul while never demanding any details from the current administration explaining what plans Obama has other than his ridiculous tax millionaires and billionaires line. The media knows full well that this policy will not do anything to solve our runaway deficits. Crickets. None of them question his completely failed energy policy, his green nightmare of a failure. They don’t question his foreign policy either. They don’t question when he does an end run around congress, examples include the Libyan war and the latest promise to pay the legal bills of companies who faile to comply with the WARN act simply to avoid layoff notices required by law prior to the election. The most corrupt admin in history, remember kickbacks in the Obamacare law? And crickets from the media. Any other president including all former Democrat presidents would have been hounded out of office long ago… But Obama gets a pass. I can only conclude the media is giving Obama a pass a la Affirmative Action President. There is simply no other explanation.

Of all the Barack Obama video out there, this is probably the most significant clip…
We need to remind voters of this.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but it is possible the *polls* show O and R closer so that they can turn around and proclaim a huge bump after the debates. O can’t pull away (real or imagined) if he is already a fictional 8-10 points ahead in the polls.
The MSM has become the enemy. This has never been clearer.

Rick67, excuse me while I take my tin foil hat off, but there are as many MSM/obama conspiracy theories as there are members of the MSM. Each member of the MSM concocts incredible excuses/expanations or just plain Bull Sh!t every day, every show, and every time they open their mouth.
We have no clue at what level members of the MSM coordinate with obama operatives. Like you, call me crazy, but there must be collusion on so many levels.
Yes Rick67, we have met the enemy, and they are the MSM!!

Lori Heine,
“Romney’s best strategy for the next few weeks would be to keep a live microphone perpetually duct-taped to Joe Biden’s face.”
Indeed. However, I regretfully doubt Romney will get the chance. After Uncle Joey’s gaffe-tastic utterance, I suspect Obama has sent Joey to bed without ice cream and personally taken charge of the key to Uncle Joey’s attic room over the West Wing.

What’s the difference between the North Korean press and our own MSM?
The North Koreans are more honest, objective, hard-hitting, and willing to speak truth to power.

Only 9% of the public is even bothering to talk to polsters the other 91% are running silent. The Nightmare is coming NOV. 6th. They have no idea what’s out here and what we’re going to do.

Speaking of the video with the shout out to Rev. J. Wright: Apparently Obama outright lied about the Stafford Act while he voted against waiving it:
