Without the Lapdog Media, Obama Is Doomed

Minister of Disinformation Jay Carney and the rest of Barack Obama's minions are running scared.

For the first time in a long time the national press called Obama out yesterday, for his "doing just fine" comment last week on the state of the private sector economy. (Except Juan Williams, who parroted Obama, his central processing unit showing its usual signs of damage.)

Carney's response to the press: "you all ought to do your jobs and report on the context" of Obama's gaffe.

I can simply refer you again to what the President talked about as he stood here before you in the context of his rather full discussion of the state of the economy, and the simple fact that in this recovery has seen 4.3 million jobs in the private sector created – it has also seen a situation where, because of massive layoffs of teachers, firefighters and police officers – a reduction in the public sector. And by public sector, we’re talking about state and local governments who have had to layoff teachers from classrooms, firefighters from the force and police officers from the force. That was the context of his comments which I think everyone in this room was aware of at the time.

I watched Obama's "rather full discussion" of the state of economy, resisting the urge to commit seppuku. What I heard was lethargic script reading. He said nothing we didn't already know. Obama was about as lively as a dead fish, except during the questioning period following his "rather full discussion"-- in which he said, with his usual arrogance, that it was offensive for the GOP to accuse his administration of being the source of national security leaks. (Shockingly, it turns out the Obama machine probably is.)

In fact, Obama's defiance in the face of questions about sensitive information leaks is exactly what Carney demonstrated yesterday. Carney's blustering was symptomatic of the administration's official policy in response to controversy: Bully, bully, bully.

And it's more revealing of what's really bothering the administration: If the lapdog media is finally waking up from a four-year Obama high, if the lapdog media is going to start questioning this president and his record (or lack thereof), if the lapdog media is going to start moving toward giving even 10% fair coverage in this election, Obama's in for a tough road.

Obama NEEDS the lapdog media. The lapdog media made Obama because they didn't vet him. The lapdog media didn't tell voters about Jeremiah Wright. The lapdog media didn't tell voters about Bill Ayers. The lapdog media didn't tell voters Obama's ties to ACORN. The lapdog media didn't question the lack of transparency from the candidate who promised the most transparent administration in history. Instead, the lapdog media were caught up in hope and change and presumably snorting unicorn farts. The election of the first black president of these now fractured United States promised to eradicate hundreds of years of bad treatment of minorities in this country in one fell swoop. It would reverse history. It would transform America into a utopia. It would heal all wounds and stem all tides and spread rainbows across the land. Consider the saccharine profile the Washington Post ran on Obama on August 22, 2008.

Mitt Romney, meanwhile, doesn't need the lapdog media. He's already overcome an anti-saccharine, trumped-up WaPo story about his so-called bullying youth and the administration's fiasco in using the lapdog media to denigrate Romney's tenure at Bain Capital, which didn't turn out to be 1/10th as bad as Obama 2012 and the media claimed it was. (Always remember, the lapdog media will tell you one or two "bad" facts but leave out 10 other positive facts, in order to advance the left's narrative.) Romney, in fact, has us, the legion of electronic conservative pundits and activists and everyday citizens who've had enough of the socialist nightmare freight train we're on. Obama has Media Matters, living-with-mom-@Shoq, Mother Jones, and a host of other energized but failing online rejects who couldn't hold a candle to us if we gave them all the wax and wicks in this country.

And we've vetted Romney. We excoriated him during the brutal Republican primaries. We've been harder on him than a rattlesnake treats its prey. I'd wager that, if Romney wins, his administration is going to pay a lot more attention to what the online community and the American people as a whole are telling him about the state of the country than Obama did, probably because he won't be breaking any presidential golfing or fundraising records. He'll be too busy cleaning up after the Demorrhoid in Chief.

The lapdog media isn't going to win any fans. They're not going to do 1/32nd of the job that we will. They've become a de facto arm of the government, and, when leftists are in charge, as long as the president isn't sleeping with interns, they've been content to massage press releases and bland statements from the Whitehouse and pass them off as their own insights.

Until, apparently, now.


If the lapdog media is waking up, if they're becoming aware, if they're finally starting to question this administration, Obama might as well just pack up and quit now, while he's behind.


UPDATE: Thanks to MOTUS and Conservative Hideout for the linkage.

Without the Lapdog Media, Obama Is Doomed

Bush Was Black; Left Is Racist!

WASHINGTON -- In a stunning development, several sources revealed yesterday that former President George W. Bush has been wearing theatrical gloves and a mask all these years -- to hide the fact that he is actually black.

The sources, all key members of the Democratic Caucus, also indicated that leftists have known all along of Bush’s real skin color but chose not to reveal the shocker in order to continue protesting his Gulf War policies and his determined effort to weave Bushisms into the English lexicon.

“I knew it all along! Everyone on the left is racist,” said Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele. “By they’re own admission: If you don’t agree with a president’s policies, you must not like his skin color. They protested Bush! They’re racist! Racist! Racist!”

Howard Dean, head of the Democratic National Committee, refused to comment.

Vice President Joe Biden, however, went out of his way to make himself available, cancelling his planned meetings with Kurdish oil leaders in Iraq and, instead, flew back to the states to appear on all the primetime news programs, releasing this statement beforehand:

“If the president can have all of the Sunday talk shows and Letterman, I can have prime time. More people watch the nighttime shows anyway.”

His first appearance was on Hannity.

“You guys didn’t know? Geez … and you call me a dunce,” a smirking Biden said. “Yeah, we knew it all along. My comment about Barack being the first clean and articulate African-American presidential candidate was a ruse. We would have told the world years ago, but Bush had such a terrible Texas drawl we figured no one would believe us. Hmm…maybe I did mean that clean and articulate comment.”

Asked how this new development changes the controversy stirring up the media demons this week, that people who protested town hall meetings and marched on Washington were just opposed to President Barack Obama because he is black, Biden said:

“Well, duh! It doesn’t. They’re racist. We’re racist. Everyone’s a racist. We just call you guys racist so the media will lick our boots and jump all over it, making you look bad.”

Biden stood from his chair and started gyrating his hips in imitation of Tom Cruise’s Tropic Thunder dance scene and started to sing: “I’m a racist, you’re a racist, he’s a racist, she’s a racist, wouldn’t you like to be a racist too? If you ain’t racist, you’re a communist!”

Informed, once his hips stopped moving, that the Democratic Party was a veritable smorgasbord of communists, Biden scratched his head and paused.

“That’s a new one,” Biden said. “I’ll have to get back to you. I never considered I could be both.”

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, The Wicked Witch of Congress, cried when reporters approached her about the startling news.

“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw ... I saw this myself in 2003 during the Gulf War protests," Pelosi said, choking up, tears forming in her eyes. "This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and ... I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made."

Asked about the scandal and how describing everyone as racists for everything they do and say devalues the meaning of the term, ABC news anchor Charles Gibson said: “I don’t even know about it. You’ve got me at a loss…. Maybe that’s one you just leave to the cables.”

For his part, Bush just grinned in Dallas when reporters crawled out of a sewer to approach him for comment. His only response was this:


UPDATE: Ah, trolls and their absolute lack of humor.

Um...in the parlance of your Dear Leader, since this post was not "clear to you," allow me to explain: You protested something so indelible to our future as fighting militant Islam, and you expect a free pass because, "it was your right to free fucking speech." But when the right -- and read my fucking words, you moonbats, I am NOT a Republican...not by a longshot...because that party no longer represents me insomuch as it now represents your lesser liberal friends -- protests in defense of the fundamental core values of this country and our Constitution and our freedom...that is, personal freedom to choose our own destiny...you have a lot of fucking nerve poking around this site and demeaning what I post here, when, in fact, your originality comes straight from ACORN, Dear Leader, the Dunce National Committee, and your foul fetid assholes.

So, I implore you, if you're going to troll...bring some comments on...so I can eat your liver with a nice Chianti and some favre beans.

UPDATE II: Not one little comment? Anywhere? Feel more comfortable there in the safety of your moonbat zone? Afraid to come out and chance some razor sharp teeth? I'm highly disappointed in you....
