Barack Obama’s silly obsession with Fox News–Telegraph Blogs »

Posted By FairNBalanced 2 months, 2 weeks ago in Political Opinion

David Axelrod, then Barack Obama's chief campaign strategist, put it best when he told his boss: "You care far too much what is written and said about you." That was in 2006 but, three years on, some things don't change. Obama is President of the United States. His party controls both houses of Congress. And, yes, he just won the Nobel Peace Prize.

    The thing is, though, many of Fox’s viewers are independents – and Obama will need at least some of them if he is to win re-election.

    Bottom line: this is a big win for Fox and it diminishes Obama, one of whose great strengths in the campaign was being seen to occupy the high ground and remain above the fray.

    On Anita Dunn:

    But Dunn was against Obama before she was for him. Back in 2002, Blair Hull, an unknown but wealthy former securities trader in Chicago, scored a coup just by hiring Dunn, a nationally recognized operative, to be the media consultant on his wild-card bid for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. Hull said that, in the formative days of the Illinois primary, he disclosed to his campaign adviser some unseemly and potentially damaging details of his bitter 1998 divorce from Brenda Sexton.

    "Her advice was not to make it public," Hull, who now runs Matlock Capital, an investment company based in Chicago, said of Dunn.

      Dunn claims her two favorite political philosophers are Mao and Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa was never political and she ministered to the poorest of the poor in Calcutta. Now Mao on the other hand was responsible for the deaths or 70 million Chinese. I would really like to know how Dunn reconciles the mores and ideas of these two people. Btw, why is it better to claim you're a devotee of Mao but not Hitler. Why is Mao considered by the lefties to be acceptable?

      BO being indignant at Fox News is only good news for Fox. Obama attacking Fox is like a wasp attacking a Buffalo, hardly worrysome!

        First I started laughing because I thought it was a 'Telegraph' article -- one of the farthest right, right-wing papers in Britain. Then I started laughing even harder because it was yet another BLOG being cited as a news source.

        Obama is obsessed with Fox; he thinks about Fox day
        and night, unable to sleep, eat or chew gum while
        he thinks 'fox, fox, fox, what about fox?'

        And so he makes up an incredible amount of idiot nonsense
        about Fox, Fox, Fox. He can not get Fox out of his head.
        There is no doubt something broken in the man,
        to be so obsessed with something that has no interest
        in him.

        I substituted Obama for Fox ,
        and Fox for Obama in the above
        dull observation;
        - but of course you already figured it out.

        FOX News ratings prove that zero-bama is good for business.

          When you are incapable of performing your tasks at hand it is customary for the weak to blame others. Obama still claims he is cleaning up the mess that President Bush left him. The reality is he has been in office for 10 months and has accomplished nothing. Our country is now considered weak, our currency is being destroyed,our Economy is in terrible shape, jobs are paying less and less and this crew of Dreamers believe all is well? Forget Health care and concentrate on job growth, concentrate on productivity in the USA, concentrate on earning the respect of the world which you have lost by cow towing to every socialist leader you can. Fox is not the problem Obama-YOU ARE
