15 QUESTIONS to the LAMESTREAM MEDIA. I wonder if you agree with Jeff Carter who wonders If you deny that there is liberal bias in the mainstream media, you are living under a rock. In order to prove his point Jeff Carter has: 15 Questions The Mainstream Media Would Ask Barack Obama If He Were A Republican: He saw George Stephanopolos take marching orders into debate questioning. According to Jeff Carter they dont ask Republican candidates about much is economic questions and debt questions. Instead they ask horribly slanted, often irrelevant questions designed to make them look bad and help Obama. Weve heard questions about contraceptives, religion, Newts angry ex-wife, Cains employees, Romneys personal wealth, Gardasil, etc. Newts rise was because of the way he attacked the media and Obama in the debates because of the stupid and obviously planted questions. So, what would happen if the mainstream media treated Barack Obama the exact same way they treat Republicans? The questions might sound a little something like this. 1) Numerous Mexican citizens and an American citizen have been murdered with weapons knowingly provided to criminals by our own government during Operation Fast and Furious. If Eric Holder was aware that was going on, do you think he should step down as Attorney General? Were you aware of Fast and Furious and if so, shouldnt you resign? 2) In 2010 you said Solyndra, a company that donated heavily to your political campaign, was leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future. Today, Solyndra is bankrupt and the taxpayers lost over $500 million on loans that your administration knew might never be paid off when you made them. How do you respond to citizens who say this is evidence of corruption in your administration? 3) Unions invested a lot of time and money in helping to get you elected. In return, unions gained majority control of Chrysler, the taxpayers lost $14 billion dollars on General Motors, and General Motors received a special $45 billion dollar tax break. What do you say to people who view this as corruption on a scale never before seen in American history? 4) Through dubious means you and your Democrat allies in Congress managed to force through an incredibly unpopular health care bill that helped lead to the worst election night for the Democrat Party in 50 years. Since the bill has passed, many of your claims about the bill have proven to be untrue. For example, we now know the bill wont lower health care costs and despite your assurances to the contrary, big companies like McDonalds say they may drop health care because of the health care reform. Congress has exempted themselves from the health care reform and instead has their own taxpayer-funded premium health care plan. Many large companies (that donate to Democrat political campaigns) have received special exemptions from the health care plan. Since the majority of the American people have rejected your health care reform and it doesnt do what you said it would, shouldnt you work with the Republicans to repeal it? 5) When you took office, the national average for one gallon of gas was $1.89 per gallon. Since then, youve demonized the oil industry, dramatically slowed offshore drilling, blocked ANWAR, and rejected the Keystone Pipeline. Now, gas is $3.54 per gallon and rising and is expected to reach $5 per gallon by May of this year. How much higher do you anticipate driving gas prices? 6) Occupy Wall Street has been protesting against Wall Street and the richest 1 percent in America. You are in the top 1 percent of income earners in America and you have collected more cash from Wall Street than any other President in history. So, arent you exactly the sort of politician that Occupy Wall Street wants to get rid of? 7) How do you decide which foreign leaders to submissively bow towards and why do you think thats appropriate for an American President? If they could, dont you think the Nobel Committee would take back the Nobel Peace Prize that you were awarded after serving just one month in office? 9) You made bipartisanship one of the central themes of your campaign in 2008. Yet, youve worked to push bills through Congress with almost no Republican support, spent much less time negotiating with Congress than George Bush did, and youve said things like, But, I dont want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I dont mind cleaning up after them, but dont do a lot of talking. Why did you decide to break your campaign promise to pursue bipartisanship? 10) America lost its AAA credit rating for the first time under your watch. What do you think you should have done differently to have prevented that historic failure? 11) You cut more than 500 billion dollars out of Medicare to fund your wildly unpopular health care reform bill. Given that Medicare is running in the red already, dont you think its irresponsible to cut money out of one entitlement program, that millions of seniors depend on to put it into a risky new entitlement program? 12) Back in July, you said, Nobodys looking to raise taxes right now. Were talking about potentially 2013 and the out years. Since you plan to raise taxes if youre elected and youve had kind words for a value added tax, shouldnt every American expect a tax increase if youre reelected? 13) Why should the American people reelect you when your 10 year budget saddles America with more debt than all previous Presidents combined? 14) Your stimulus bill cost more in real dollars than the moon landing and the interstate highway system combined. Many prominent economists have concluded the stimulus plan was a total failure. What do we have to show for all of that money spent? 15) Members of your administration promised that the trillion dollar stimulus would keep unemployment under 8 percent. Instead, weve had 35+ months of 8% and above unemployment. Doesnt that mean we wasted a trillion dollars on nothing? http://finance.townhall.com/columni...rack_obama_if_he_were_a_republican/page/full/
Can be answered in 3 words: controlled by special interests. And lame is not the word to describe it because it still does it's job to deceive enough voters to vote for their candidates.
WOW !!! Cigar picks one of the WORST LIEberrhoidal Obummer stooges to refute the IRREFUTABLE !!!!! And, does it with the CORRUPT IDIOT'S photo. BRILLIANT !!!
Homo Sapiens are liberal in nature- they tend to conglomerate into groups and work for the greater good. The closest thing we have to an actual example is the pre-Columbian Native Americans from which they lived in extended family/communities and all needs were met by the mass of them. It is perfectly natural to be liberal. The French Revolution was a bloody coup to enact liberal virtues as freedoms of the people... this is the way to go- democracy endures. Conservatism lies in the heart of greed; to seek more for one's self to be above the masses; to rule. Jimmy Carter was such a great President because he never enacted or enforced anything on the people.
********************************* Explain then why Conservatives Give over 30% MORE to Charties than Liberals.The Obama's gave appx. 1% of their income to charity from 2000-2004. Biden gave appx. $ 352 {total} in charity a few years. Al Gore about the same. John Kerry { One of THE Richest Pols} also very stingy. This OP is fantastic at showcasing a double standard or by another word ... Hypocrisy.
Unfortunately this is exactly what Obummers entire administration is doing to America and the constitution. Notice that it is "Cigars" instant reaction.
you obvious brain trust. the fact that the prez is like a kindergarten teacher refereeing a bunch of toddlers throwing cat turds at each other in the sandbox. (*)(*)(*)(*) am i glad my working days are OVER if I choose... i can work for myself by being an entrepreneur after "serving" in the medical field to all you sick puppies out there. glad im done and i can sit and smoke my pot and laugh laugh laugh laugh at the rest of you 99 percent brain dead greedy lazy suckers.
Really? I have to spell it out for you? Liberals gave 100% Federally, on top of that, they gave 10-20% more. Conseratives cut off all funding and gave 30%. You can take your head out of your arse now.
Proof? That is pretty outrageous...some proof would be interesting, and from a reputable source of course.
Coolwalker, Apparently, he will have to leave his head in its permanently lodging place. Like your accurate & perceptive sig sentence.
