"These guys [the Obama administration], everything is personal...They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington."
So amazingly said Fox News's Chris Wallace Friday evening.
Appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor," Wallace was rather outspoken about the relationship the Obama administration have with media, and their utter contempt for Fox News (video embedded below the fold):
BILL O'REILLY, HOST: Now for the top story tonight. Even though we tried to be fair to the president, he doesn't seem to like us very much. On Sunday, he's doing all the chat shows, except for FOX News Sunday, starring Chris Wallace, who joins us now.
He just doesn't like you.
CHRIS WALLACE, "FOX NEWS SUNDAY" HOST: No, he doesn't like you, too.
(LAUGHTER)
O'REILLY: Look, big mistake. But it's so blatant that you would think that the Obama administration. Why do they want, and I've asked this question to a number of people, not you, why do they want to fight with FOX News? Why do they want that?
WALLACE: Well, I can understand the fight with some people on FOX News. I mean, obviously, Glenn Beck has a point of view. And you know, I think from their point of view is constantly beating on him. I think they feel that way about Sean Hannity. But you've just sat there and separated yourself from a lot of conservative critics and said, you know, I'm not sure about the missile defense. I'm not saying that's exactly my position. I think that "FOX News Sunday" is a truly fair and balanced show.
O'REILLY: You're not an ideological show at all.
WALLACE: No. And it's like they refuse to take yes for an answer. There's kind of childishness or pettiness about it.
O'REILLY: That's -- it's an immaturity that if you don't - if you don't toe our line, we're just going to ice you. But here's the deal. And I want your opinion on this. You worked for ABC News for how long?
WALLACE: 11 years.
O'REILLY: Okay. And your father for.
WALLACE: (INAUDIBLE) before that.
O'REILLY: .Mike Wallace, CBS guy. You're rooted there in the network news. It's over. The power shift in the media is now with FOX, FOX News and talk radio. And the Obama administration doesn't seem to understand that. They can go on these shows, CNN, but it doesn't matter anymore. We matter, because the people that need to be persuaded are watching us. The Independents who make the calls.
WALLACE: Absolutely. And the fact that they would go and self- consciously do CBS and ABC and NBC and CNN and Univision, I mean, you know, I'm not in any way denigrating Univision, but it is not on the regular roster of Sunday talk shows, frankly I think elevates us. It is -- when I covered - real quickly, when I covered Ronald Reagan for NBC in the `80s, you know, some days you do a good piece, a positive piece about it. Sometimes do you a tough piece. And you'd come in the next day. And they always treated you professionally. And I think it came from the top down, from the old man. Reagan who felt, you know, I'm going to get a good review today and bad review tomorrow.
O'REILLY: Right.
WALLACE: And it's nothing personal.
O'REILLY: Right.
WALLACE: These guys, everything is personal. I got to tell you though.
O'REILLY: Everything.
WALLACE: They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington.
O'REILLY: And I can't.
WALLACE: They constantly are on the phone, or emailing me complaining, well, you had this guest.
O'REILLY: Right.
WALLACE: Or you did this thing. I mean, they are working the umps all the time. I think it works for the others. It doesn't work with me.
O'REILLY: Well, but it's not working for them. It's not working for them. I mean, all the polls show that Barack Obama's health care proposal is going down the drain. His popularity is declining. It's not working for them. Their strategy of if you don't tow our line, we're not going to talk to you, is a disaster. It's a PR disaster. And people are starting to get angry about it, wrong? Right?
WALLACE: Well, no, I think that's right. And I think.
O'REILLY: It's a disaster.
WALLACE: .when you have David Axelrod go on "Face the Nation" last Sunday and denigrate the million or, I don't know, 100,000 -- thousands and tens of thousands of people who came here into the streets of Washington to protest.
O'REILLY: 70,000, right.
WALLACE: .and basically says, you know, they're not representative. Well, they are representative of those 70,000.
O'REILLY: Sure.
WALLACE: I think they're representative of a lot of people. And to dismiss that, this from the president who said he wanted to reach out to all Americans?
O'REILLY: Axelrod did come on "The Factor" after the president's speech.
WALLACE: A watched speech.
O'REILLY: Yeah. And that was a smart move for him. And he was treated respectfully. He was treated -- I gave him a little jazz because that thing last five hours, the speech. I mean, it was like a Jerry Lewis telethon out there. All right, now you have the ACORN lady, Lewis.
WALLACE: Yeah. Can you imagine Barack Obama won't talk to us, but Bertha Lewis, the head of ACORN is going to give us an exclusive interview?
O'REILLY: She talked to me last May. I had her on. And we had a very good conversation by the way.
WALLACE: She's a nice, smart lady.
O'REILLY: But I'll tell you exactly what she's going to do. She's going to play the victim card that ACORN's the victim of racism and this and that. How are you going to handle that?
WALLACE: Well, you know, you got these videotapes. And you know, so what do you believe.
O'REILLY: But she didn't do it. She's going to say, look, I can't police 10,000 people.
WALLACE: (INAUDIBLE) after the Rathkes were thrown out, she was put in charge to police that organization. Where is the policing? You know, I mean, it just is a succession of transgressions one after another. And we're also going to have on with her Darrell Issa, the congressman from California who is in a big investigation. Look, I'm going to give her chance to have her say.
O'REILLY: Absolutely.
WALLACE: Just as you do. And I'm going to - we'll hear what.
O'REILLY: And she's smart.
WALLACE: .Congressman Isa has to say. And people can make up their minds.
O'REILLY: And Bertha Lewis is smart to go on.
WALLACE: And to go on FOX News.
O'REILLY: Right, because we'll pick the clips up from you. And I`ll run them on Monday, probably. You see that's the Obama.
WALLACE: I hope you will.
O'REILLY: The Obama people don't get it, that if we're winning 5 to 1, which is what FOX News dominance is now, and we beat them so badly CNN and MSNBC, that when you do something, it's all over the place. So, get your message out.
WALLACE: I think we need to say what Jerry Maguire said. Help us help you.
O'REILLY: That's right. Help FOX News help you, Obama administration. Oh, man. Chris Wallace, everybody. Check him out on Sunday morning.

Enjoyable exchange
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 14:35 ET by carolina09This was good reading. Mild-mannered Wallace calling out the crybabies.
This is the second time I've heard him say that.
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 08:50 ET by richb313I think the first time was somewhere either shortly before or after the Inauguration. It was an offhand comment at the time. Now he is definitely calling them out. Wallace has made the decision that any pretense of mutual respect and co-operation is off the table until the White House makes the next move.

I watched this last night and was so proud of Chris..
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 15:00 ET by JTPHe is taking off the gloves and calling them out. If this is the way this administration wants to play I think Chris is more than willing to play it their way. He goes out of his way to be fair and this is the payback he gets. I think he may be done holding back.

DON'T WATCH
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 15:24 ET by Gat New YorkI saw Wallace call them cry babies and was surprised because Wallace has always been so professional and balanced in his tone.
But what Obama is doing by boycotting FoxNews is deplorable and it is an effort by Obama to control the media like buddy Hugo Chavez does.
I urge everyone to boycott Obama and not watch any of his interviews tomorrow or Monday. Numbers count and low viewership is damaging to the networks for their revenue and it would send a message to Obama and his press babies.
Obama's people know Wallace
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 16:40 ET by celatorObama's people know Wallace could easily destroy the mirage they've created for Obama. The styrofoam columns would come tumbling down.
They also know, as we do, that Obama is a compulsive liar, and is likely to say anything to make himself look good. Then they'd be spending another week "explaining" what O REALLY meant to say.
No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

Your signature line is so true. In preparing ourselves for next years elections, it seems we may need to look deeper at what is going on. This is not a conspiracy as such, but it appears to be a concerted attack on Constitutional Government and Individual Freedom and Liberty, which is being financed by almost unlimited amounts of money.
Chris Wallace did what he needed to do to expose this illusion, but right now, Fox is a voice crying in the TV wilderness, albeit an effective and the most successful voice. The tactic seems to be for the executive branch: Illusions are expendable, destroy one, mount another, all the while building the framework for a permanent power base in directions where no one is looking.
The point is, there is more trickery and misdirection going on than most people can realize, and many more people need to wake up to that reality, before we all wake and find ourselves in a reality with a built-in downward spiral, as your signature warns against.

"Crybabies"...
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 15:50 ET by PrairieSkyI love this! I am so glad that Chris Wallace was honest enough to say this. Can you imagine the reaction of the "crybabies" when they heard that? Boy I'll tell you what, if the Obama gang was perturbed at Wallace and Fox News before, I'll bet they're absolutely apoplectic now! ;)

PS - BEWARE!
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 18:41 ET by wiley catThe Obama "Gang" is the proper term. I too was totally grateful to Chris Wallace for standing firm and telling the truth, and for Bill OR to give him the platform. However, I also think the truth is that this group is playing for the highest stakes, and the "crybaby" thing is just one tactic among many to keep anyone, with any credence or reputation, off balance.
I would guess that the immediate recognition and calling out of
their bullying and harassment has been quicker on the national stage
than they expected, based on the ease with which they have been able to keep
it under the radar in Chicago politics, but they are not disappointed
with the buzz as a distraction.
There is no Good Will anywhere in that group, and anyone who gives them the slightest bit of credit for that will be sorry. The '08 election proved that. (cont'd. at II below)

Helen Thomas' view on the Obama media grip
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 15:51 ET by Gary HallThis seems pertinent, in the moment, as it is another example of how the Obama camp is managing the news.
Helen Thomas. July 1, 2009. Her view that Obama's grip on the media is even greater than that of Richard Nixon:

... and, have you heard
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 18:46 ET by ThisnThat... and, have you heard from Helen Thomas since July 1? Neither have I. Hey Helen -- they can do that. They can control you. And no, they won't hang their heads in shame. Because people like you have taught people like them -- there is no shame when it comes to power-grabbing. Helen, you just don't like it when they do it to you.

Do they have that much trust in their agenda that they believe their progressive supporters will always save the day?
It's about validation.
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 16:28 ET by motherbeltOur fledgling President needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Preaching to the choir isn't going to get him anywhere. He's gotten all he's going to get from them.
And the rest of us are watching Fox.
To me, this just proves that he is not about convincing those who disagree with him; he just wants constant adoration and validation of his efforts from those who are already on his side.
Heard him say that...also...
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 16:31 ET by StarAZAlso heard O'Reilly say they email him saying "don't say this, stop sayng that..."
I thought that was
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 17:00 ET by Kat Outta the BagI thought that was interesting, too. Obviously they're trying to control the media. One thing about Bush -- people said all sorts of things about him and it just rolled off his back as far as we know. He didn't resort to such silly tactics and kept his focus on what he was doing as president.
"Also heard O'Reilly say
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 22:46 ET by carolina09"Also heard O'Reilly say they email him saying "don't say this, stop sayng that..."
Fox ought to do a long story about this sort of stuff, which kind of shocks me. They actually call Fox and tell them what they can and cannot say, and expect Fox to go along? And NBC and the other nets, I suppose, just go along when they get the phone calls.
Yes, the Obama Gang is made
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 16:33 ET by celatorYes, the Obama Gang is made up of self-absorbed, peevish crybabies. More dangerously, they are also the most brazen grifters we've seen in the WH in a long time.

Sat, 09/19/2009 - 16:39 ET by Radical1979I saw a newshow, I forget which one, discuss the issue. The Obama rep was talking about getting the message out, but weren't going to Fox. The comentator basically said, so on Sunday he's going to convince the people who already agree with him, and not deal with Fox and the people who don't agree with him. How does Obama think this will gain him support? He's a whiny wimpy little boy.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER
About time Chris Wallace calls it like it is!
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 18:10 ET by PoljunkThe Chris Wallace's and Bill O"Reilly's think that just because they treat the White House "Fair and Balance" they will have access to POTUS! It's only when POTUS needs them that they get the hot (engineered, fully choreographed) interview, as in Bill O'Reilly's interview with BO on the opening day of the Republican National Convention; but maybe that's just too cynical on my part!
It's starting to look more like we're well on our socialize way with a Tinge of Totalitarian Government.... by then BO won't need to do the Sunday Morning Circuit (otherwise known as Circus Show) we'll have one channel to deliver the will of the Government!! That will be all folks!

The lack of self-control Obama exhibits with his never-ending hate-filled facial expressions spells out for us he is prone to temper tantrums when he is denied attention, authority, or presumed control.
But all this bluddy whining at Fox News about Obama skipping Fox News Sunday on his every-channel-in-existence-tour tomorrow is fast becoming nausea-inducing.
Who cares? ALL Fox News watchers know what the deal is and why Obama is skipping Fox. They get it. They ALL know what Obama's game is and how sloppily he's playing that game. But, it looks like it's working on the crybabies at Fox. Good Grief! Quit with the bluddy whining! Heavens!
IGNORE Sunday's dirty tricks by Obama. Instead, spend your available time wisely. Do what Beck does. Investigate something. You other whiners (at Fox News) are aware that Beck (and his "point of view", Chris Wallace), took down Van Jones, the NEA, and ACORN (with the assist of the courageous film makers and Andrew Breitbart AND the Senate backing him up by defunding the corrupt organization) all within two weeks, right? You know that?
Get cracking, Fox News, and INVESTIGATE what Beck is handing you on a bluddy platter!
Do NOT underestimate ODUMBO and his COMMIE FRIENDS ...

Sat, 09/19/2009 - 23:19 ET by JerThe MSM, for the most part, has been excessively--and irresponsibly--pro Obama; while Fox, for the most part, has been excessively--and irresponsibly--anti Obama. Consequently, despite the administration's understandable impulse to marginalize and "punish" Fox, this decision is indeed petulant, misguided, divisive, and politically stupid to boot.

Jer's moral equivalency argument... zzzzz...
Sat, 09/19/2009 - 23:38 ET by Sergeant ROCKApples and oranges. FNC goes out of it's way to have leftists represented on their various programs. The one thing you leftists always try to do is equate a 'Hannity' or 'O'Reilly Factor' type show (which FNC has several of) as being the same thing as a nightly news broadcast. Hardly. Another perception is that since FNC covers stories that are not favorable to liberals like Obama when the MSM ignores them is an example of bias. Again, hardly.
To suggest that FNC has the same level of bias as the MSM is simply ignorant. Bonus: I don't recall Brit Hume having a pow-wow with democRATSon how to get better coverage about their agenda in the MSM like Tim Russert did?
Save your apologist rhetoric for the uninformed. That dog won't hunt here.

Sun, 09/20/2009 - 00:42 ET by candanceYou don't see people from Fox's news room pushing conservative agendas. You can't point to people like Sheppard Smith, Chris Wallace, Brett Baier, and and Brit Hume, and tell me they are biased on air.
Meanwhile hard news anchors on other networks are busy doctoring videos or showing phony paperwork in order to push a certain angle.
And you certainly don't hear Fox anchors using words like "tea bagger" on air. On other networks, that kind of dialogue is acceptable.
We can discuss a comparison between Hannity vs Rachel Maddow, and that would be a fair trade. But not entire networks.
Well, candance...I'm
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 01:03 ET by JerWell, candance...I'm shocked at your response. Please reread my original post--you know, the one where I'm explicitly critical of the administration, and tell me what you find objectionable or apologistic?
By the way, I'm a big fan of Chris Wallace. The only time I have had a serious issue about his tactics was his opening question in the Clinton interview which prompted Clinton's outburst. Both Clinton and Wallace were unprofessional on that occasion. Brit is okay, but he has engaged in slanted reporting. During the week before 9/11, he was obsessed with silly claims about Gary Condit not being identified often enough as a Democrat.
Your "phony paperwork" reference is obviously a [legitimate] dig at Rather. Dan is gone. Now, which news anchors are "busy doctoring videos"? And which ones have used the word "tea bagger"?--which term, by the way, I believe has been used on Fox.

Well, Sarge, I do
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 00:29 ET by JerWell, Sarge, I do appreciate your refraining from calling me "shitbag" or some similar personal slur as is your usual habit. Nevertheless, you have once again demonstrated a fundamental inability to understrand the plain wording of my comments, as well as a continuing, exasperating tendency to attribute various assertions and representations to me which I have neither made nor implied.
1. "FNC goes out of it's way to have leftists represented on their programs." Did I say otherwise? No. The fact is that most of the MSM political talk shows likewise offer both liberal and conservative opinion. On MSNBC, Olbermann does not. Schultz and Maddow may not. I don't watch them--(nor Olbermann for that matter). Matthews does. Morning Joe does. So does Meet the Press, This Week, The Leher Report, etc.
2. "The one thing you leftists always try to do is equate "Hannity" or "O'Reilly" type shows as being the same thing as a nightly news broadcast." Is that so? Who? When? Where? Certainly not I.
3. "Another perception is that since FNC covers stories that are not favorable to liberals like Obama when the MSM ignores them is an example of bias." I can only speak for myself. I welcome unfavorable stories as long as they are sourced, responsible, and accurate, and not given disproportionate weight and coverage. Just one example where Fox graphically displayed an anti-Obama bias was its frenzied but discredited claims of Obama's alleged madrassa schooling as a child.
4. "To suggest that FNC has the same level of bias as the MSM is simply ignorant." Actually, I suggest the qualitative level of Fox's bias is greater than that of the MSM. But, collectively, the quantity of the MSM's bias exceeds that of Fox.
5. "I don't recall Brit Hume having a pow-wow with democRATS on how to get better coverage about their agenda in the MSM like Tim Russert did." I don't either. I think the pow-wows were left to FNC president Roger Ailes. But, for the record, what Russert pow-wow are you talking about?
Finally, with respect to the "apologist" rhetoric in my earlier post, would you kindly point it out for me?
Jer
Jerry's Delusional Episodes
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 01:05 ET by Sergeant ROCKSave your sanctimonious claptrap, Jerry. As usual, you think that clever witicisms and bloviating wins the day.
1. The MSM does not go out of their way to have conservatives on their talking head shows. David Gergen, for example, is not a conservative. However, a nice diversion from the subject at hand - talking head shows are not the same thing as a 'news broadcast'.
2. Oh please, Jerry. You know you can be counted in that group. Why don't you just admit it?
3. lol.. Translation: 'Sourced, as defined by me (or any other liberal) - Jerry. Always an out, huh? Since you gave just one of the many examples you have about supposed FNC bias, why don't you start your own website? You exaggerate, lie, embelish, like all liberals do, that's why.
4. BS. You liberals are not only ignorant, but delusional as well. How many networks stand opposite of FNC? You aren't good with math are you?
5. Like I said, ignorant. I'm sure had Ailes had any pow-wows with Republicans behind closed doors about strategies, etc. like Russert did, we'd still be hearing about it for years to come from your beloved leftist MSM. As I recall, Russert met with democRATS about exactly that, some years ago. Do your own research.
When liberal bias is demonstrated again and again and again on this website, here comes old man Jerry to try and marginalize the damage with crafty wordsmithing and moral equivalency arguments.
Please continue to blather on with your adulation for yourself and the MSM. By the numbers, please.

Ailes' highly partisan background is well-documented. The memo most point to is one to Bush shortly after 9/11 which Bob Woodward wrote about in one of his books. Actually, it was primarily advice about the war against Al Qaeda, which I don't find as objectionable as some critics do. Ailes was also a long-time friend of Rudy Guiliani, and there have been allegations that Fox tilted heavily toward him in the GOP primary.
There have been additonal stories provided by ex-staffers of Fox which paint a pretty damning picture of improper programming and reportorial influence being exerted via memo and otherwise by John Moody, an FNC upper exec--essentially alleging that daily Republican talking points were dispensed. Of course, such claims are always subject--with good reason--to the "disgruntled employee" defense.

Based on your tortured parsing of "claims", I guess we can no longer accuse Dan Rather, Mary Mapes, and CBS of making false claims about Bush's National Guard service. After all, they were just reporting rumors and allegations and falsified information already in existence.
Of course, in my opinion, a major news organization, like CBS or Fox, has a professional responsibility to clearly establish the authenticity of explosive allegations before peddling them to a national audience.

Hi Jer
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 00:03 ET by shawn228I would agree that shows like Hannity and O'Reilly are very much Anti-Obama and make no secret of their bias. However, I would say that their anchors are much less bias than the Gibson, Couric and Williams.
Also I have never seen Wallace. Hannity or O'Reilly as rude to their liberal guest as Chris Mathews. I also am convinced Olbermann is insane with all of this accusations of racists conservatives

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 22:24 ET by JerAs you may know, I have stated that my O'Reilly watching has been reduced considerably in recent months, after years of being a steady viewer. So, if he has been more balanced in his assessment of Obama lately, then good for him. But, prior to the election, his anti-Obama bias was palpable. For example, I remember him dispensing political strategy advice for McCain, as well as speculating one night after the market had suffered a particularly rough day that the Dow may have been reacting to the fear of an Obama victory. It was naked partisanship, pure and simple.
I can recall a couple of mic cutting incidents offhand. One with mild-mannered Fox contributor Jane "what's her name" who appeared with Bernie Goldberg, and another with Jeremy Glick whose father was killed on 9/11. [I'll be the first to admit Glick was making some pretty outrageous claims]. Not saying it was a frequent occurrence, but I'm confident there were other similar incidents.

How has Fox been
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 00:21 ET by NL207How has Fox been 'anti-Obama' on their journalistic side? Editorialists do not count, so you can omit Hannity and Beck. Only Journalists can be included in your discussion.
I will argue that there is a huge difference between Fox and CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS. These latter networks exhibit no journalism at all. Their news people are engaged in editorial. This is what is wrong with them. They present a 'version' of the truth, which is interesting in of itself, since truth has no versions. Editorials have versions. We are left to conclude there is no journalism at the alphabet networks, just editorialism.

Sun, 09/20/2009 - 07:11 ET by Ryan Mc.I often feel that O'Reilly makes liberal leaning comments to feel bipartisan about himself. He consciously tries to stay "in the middle" which leads him to make silly comments.
Wallace on the other hand is a journalist. He asks tough questions without putting emotion or argumentation behind questions so you never know what he feels. He asks questions like "Joe Blow says that your policy will result in x" or "You say that policy x will do this but the CBO says y" which is why he's a true journalist. He probes for weakness in a candidate/politician's point of view. He doesn't care if the weakness is exposed by coming at them from the right or left. He only cares to get at truth wherever that may lead. He also does one other thing that is wonderful. He shuts down talking points that neither address the question or mean anything at all. He follows up when a politician is elusive or when the politician acts like the interview is a commercial. Too bad there aren't more CWs.
No obama on foxnews
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 12:37 ET by BARB BFThank goodness!!! If the Obama show about ObamaCare was on FoxNews as well as the other MSM Obama-loving TV stations...I would definitely not watch FoxNews. As it is now, there are way too many video clips of Obama during most of the FoxNews programs. I really don't need to see Obama walking , grinning, shaking hands, giving speeches (thank goodness the sound is off), getting on and off Air Force One, walking on the WH lawn, and on and on and on.... I wish O'Reilly would stop complaining about Obama not being on FoxNews for an interview. I am happy about this. If I see much more of Obama on FoxNews, I might have to limit my TV veiwing to TCM and the Weather Channel.
Don't worry

The bully is always the first to cry when the victim hits back hard.
Why doesn't Wallace do a
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 09:04 ET by buddycWhy doesn't Wallace do a mock interview. Put an empty chair there with a Presidential seal on it. Ask him:
1. Why he will only go on shows where he has open and active democrats asking him questions, basically cheerleaders;
2. Ask him if this fulfills his campaign promise to be a uniter and an agent of change and someone who was going to change the politics of destruction;
3. Ask him important questions and point out why even the group that watches Fox need answers also.
TOTUS on FOX

We are missing a very important point here.
Sun, 09/20/2009 - 09:18 ET by JWFWallace: They constantly are on the phone, or emailing me complaining...
That means the Obama Administration is not doing it's job. They are not focused on governing this country. If you are doing your job correctly, you do not need to be worrying about critics. Your accomplishments will speak for you.
Worst President evah!

Sun, 09/20/2009 - 11:04 ET by jessieHThe obama crowd is racist. Why else would they keep harping on the subject? They have moved equality back about a hundred years with their rantings. M.L.K. would not be proud of the country. Everywhere you turn, someone is calling someone a racist. How can we stop racism, when every news channel, every news paper, is calling the citizens racists? The media is trying to start a race war. It's really pitifull, the way they pull the race card.
