Media Priorities Ignore Real Issues on Obama


His wife going off on a rant about how evil "whitey" is, and conspiracies that he is a covert Muslim trying to infiltrate our democracy are nothing more than rumors. However, there are plenty of things the media don’t put enough focus on that are true about the Obamas. Instead they would rather focus on things like his playful fist-bump. They have to keep their priorities on the important issues that matter to people.

Of course I wouldn't expect the media to report on rumors that have no substance, but there is a list of facts on the Obamas that have gotten little,  if any,  coverage.  I put together quite a list.  I'm sure it is incomplete. 

Please feel free to add to the list in the comments.

Facts on Obama

Here are two that are completely un-reported by MSM..

1.) At his Philadelphia speech he said Wright's anger and bitterness is a by-product of his generation.  He then called Wright's replacement, Otis Moss III a "wonderful young pastor".  My question is if Moss is so wonderful, why is he just as angry as Wright (if not moreso) while being younger than Obama?

2.) Obama's affiliations with communist Frank Marshall Davis in his teenage years.  Davis is regarded by some very credible people as a "father figure" to Obama.

Not an addition to the list, but first, he caption under the photo says:

Barack and Michelle Obama show that you don't have to be a teenager or and athlete to look cool while executing a fist bump.

That's looking cool????

 

It's well known that Obama said he would be willing to talk to President Ahmadinejad of Iran, without preconditions. Ahmadinejad recently said Iran's nuclear program is not open for discussion. No one has asked Obama if he is still willing to talk to him, and if so, about what.

Fist bump caption

Besides, someone needs to tell Michelle that the fist bump is not to be carried out with an erect and protruding thumb.

You cant be surprised, the msm doesn't even talk about the pitiful ideas he has expressed? And when anyone else does they are shouted down with hate.

One more addition...

That is he what the MSM accuses GW of...a dipsh*t. Obama is dumber than a box of rocks.

BTW, I love the pretty girls in the Conservative T-Shirts banner!

Best Obama quote ever...

At a debate on November 15th, he said (and I quote),

"If we keep on getting distracted by this problem then we are not solving it."

WOW!

Obamanations list

John - Possibly this was on your list and I simply missed it.

One of Soro's....er....Obama's campaign adds  promises that he can heal the terrible partisan divisions that have enfeebled American politics over the past decade using key phrases such as "he brought Republicans and Democrats together...he was successful in a bipartisan way."

Yet, looking at Obama's voting record in Illinois and the US Senate, describing his bipartisanship as thin is being kind. Barack Obama has voted with a majority of his Democratic colleagues 96.5% of the time during the current Congress.  It is also interesting to note that on some of the tougher bills Obama faced he would be a no-show gaining a reputation in Illinois for skipping tough votes. The most famous example was a key gun-control vote that he missed in December 1999 because he was vacationing in Hawaii.

"....heal the partisan

"....heal the partisan divisions".....um exactly HOW? "You will agree with me, THAT's how!!!

And don't forget the oceans are going to recede, and the earth is going to begin to heal, too!!!

oh, but it sounds so beautiful.......

New comedy on the block.

I thought I was going to have to go back to watching congress on CSpan to get my comedy fill every day. Now we have Barry Barack 'Hussein' Obama on the stage and you can watch comedy on any and every TV station that broadcast the news. How many months is it until he goes away on his own or goes to prison?

Old, Retired and glad of it.

Yeah John I've got an out and out lie.

Remember the Friday before his Lincolnesque speech. He went to all the MSM outlets (I watched it on FOX, Major Garret interviewed him) and said unequivocally that he had no knowledge of Wrights incendiary comments. He was asked again and repeated: NO!

Here is the text of that speech (March 18th, 2008/ 10:17:53 ET
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
: "Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes."

He uses "Of Course" to condescend to us stupid little turds that knew it and were right all along.

Funny how Matthews, Olbermann and Russert drooled over this speech, "It should be required reading in all schools right along with  The Emancipation Proclamation. Libtards. Now that speech is a pure lie and bogus.

I think Obama owes an apology to people like me because we knew Wright better than him.

Yup,

By his own statements, either he knew it and lied, or he is oblivious and naive. Either way, he's not presidential material. 

But we know he lied.

  MSM - shaping all the perceptions you need to believe.

while he might not be the next Jesus, apparently he was named the next Moses today, and given a staff by a 95-year old man, with which he will whup Congress:

"The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation. When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign. "

I think this is a lie.

May 19 Obama said:

"Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us . . . . Iran, they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance."

May 20 Obama said:

"So, I've made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.

Body Language: Bumpistry

Michelle Obama's fist-bump had "I don't even want to touch you" written all over it. Barack reaches out for a handshake, maybe a kiss, and she initiates the fist-bump. It's really kind of awkward. She looks as though she's found out some bad, bad stuff about her man. And when Barack makes his 'ladies first' gesture, Michelle gestures back, and Barack takes the lead....without her. So much for ladies first. Maybe not.

Or perhaps Michelle Obama doesn't want to turn her back on her husband, as he has many of their friends. Maybe she's questioning his fidelity to his friends, his associates, his church......her.

I know, maybe it's reading too much into a fist-bump. But, will Obama fist-bump with Ahmadinejad and Chavez and others, or will he just smile and shake their hands?.....you know, for the photo-op. For all the world to see. That's Obama's 'unity'........

Another one

I can't keep up with this chameleon - everyday he puts his foot in his mouth,

He voted against the Kyl-Lieberman amendment that would  designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. It passed 76-22.

Yet he says to AIPAC (a concerned Jewish activist group) that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ought to be designated a a terrorist organization.

Let alone at the same meeting he promised that Jerusalem would be Israel's. How can he say that? I don't know but assume he's a dumb ass.

Thanks Bro..

Conservative organizations first to ignore the "real issues"

And yet you fail to note that the first organization to equate the fist bump to terrorism was your conservative brother, Fox News. Interesting. Once again, Newsbusters cherry picks what information it gives out when trying to label everything it disagrees with as being part of some liberal media agenda crap.
