it should be no surprise to anyone who reads my ramblings that i'm not a big fan of our current president. what i see going on, is shocking though. forget about the birth certitifcate, beign a secret muslim, and other nonsense being pumped out there by anti-obama extremists...i'm talking about his war with fox news.
this is the first time a president has played this kind of battle with a news agency. now we could debate all day long whether fox is a news outlet or a conservative think tank propaganda machine. that isn't really the point. there is always going to be a slant in a news group. no one here can't possibly think that msnbc isn't a left leaning group...and fox is a right leaning group. the point is....we are talking about abuse of power and freedom of the press. a president cannot use his broad political and monetary power to attack and punish a news agency...because once this trend starts it won't end with just fox. even the other news networks have figured this out, and they refused to interview one of obama's czars since fox was not invited. next election a hard right wing president might get elected....high likely at the rate obama is going,...but who here wants this right wing hard lined president to attack the remaining new agencys with their power? before long every news agency would be afraid of rocking the boat and hence they don't report the nasty stuff that goes on in politics. then it won't be long before we have no idea what is going on and when the limited transparency is gone, abuse becomes rampant.
obama is out of his mind. he needs to put a stop to this right now. if he has half a brain, and i'm sure he does.....if he doesn't want to be remembered as the first president with a glass jaw who can't take a few jabs and someone who shut down the freedom of the press, he betyter think long and hard on how he is going to proceed with the way he does business.

I completely agree. It's a childish move on his part.
