Even though Fox News has been beating out most other TV media outlets, hands down, they still stood up for what was right - the 1st Amendment to free speech.

From FNC’s website today:

White House Loses Bid to Exclude Fox News From Pay Czar Interview
The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.

Friday, October 23, 2009

The Obama administration on Thursday failed in its attempt to manipulate other news networks into isolating and excluding Fox News, as Republicans on Capitol Hill stepped up their criticism of the hardball tactics employed by the White House.

The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network rotation that for decades has shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the presidency.

But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks consulted and decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.

The administration relented, making Feinberg available for all five pool members and Bloomberg TV.

The pushback came after White House senior adviser David Axelrod told ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday that Fox News is not a real news organization and other news networks “ought not to treat them that way.”

Media analysts cheered the decision to boycott the Feinberg interview unless Fox News was included, saying the administration’s gambit was taking its feud with Fox News too far. President Obama has already declined to go on “Fox News Sunday,” even while appearing on the other Sunday shows.

“I’m really cheered by the other members saying “No, if Fox can’t be part of it, we won’t be part of it,’” said Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik, calling the move to limit Feinberg’s availability “outrageous.”

“What it’s really about to me is the Executive Branch of the government trying to tell the press how it should behave. I mean, this democracy — we know this — only works with a free and unfettered press to provide information,” he said.

Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. said the administration was potentially in violation of the Constitution with its attempt to restrict access to the “eyes and ears” of the country.

“What was averted was a very serious constitutional violation by the White House,” Johnson said. “There cannot be selective and arbitrary access to the White House based on some subjective determination.”

Several top White House advisers have appeared on other news channels to criticize Fox News’ coverage of the administration, dismiss the network as the mouthpiece of the Republican Party and urge other news organizations not to treat Fox News as a legitimate news network.

On Wednesday, Obama, speaking publicly for the first time about his administration’s portrayal of Fox News as illegitimate, said he’s not “losing sleep” over the controversy.

“I think that what our advisers simply said is, is that we are going to take media as it comes,” Obama said when asked about his advisers targeting the network openly. “And if media is operating, basically, as a talk radio format, then that’s one thing. And if it’s operating as a news outlet, then that’s another. But it’s not something I’m losing a lot of sleep over.”

Obama’s comments also came after he met Monday with political commentators Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC; Eugene Robinson and E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post; Ron Brownstein of the National Journal; John Dickerson of Slate; Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd and Bob Herbert of the New York Times; Jerry Seib of the Wall Street Journal, Gloria Borger of CNN and U.S. News and World Report, and Gwen Ifill of PBS.

House Republican leaders rushed to the defense of conservative commentators Thursday after the president’s comments.

Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said conservative commentators speak more for Americans than the national media outlets that have targeted them for criticism.

“Goaded on by a White House increasingly intolerant of criticism, lately the national media has taken aim at conservative commentators in radio and television,” the Indiana Republican said on the House floor. “Suggesting that they only speak for a small group of activists and even suggesting in one report today that Republicans in Washington are ‘worried about their electoral effect.’ Well, that’s hogwash.”

This is proof that maybe Obama’s corruption is beginning to be noticed by the rest of the media in the US and they are beginning to fight back. No longer will the ‘preferred’ media allow the President to bully those who expose him and his cabinet for their corrpuption in order to keep it all under wraps.

Could we be seeing the beginning of the fall from grace of The Messiah?

Congress Plays Hooky on Fridays Despite Pledge by Democrats to Work All Week

Congress Plays Hooky on Fridays Despite Pledge by Democrats to Work All Week
Democratic leaders promised when their party regained control of the House three years ago that lawmakers would work five-day weeks, but that plan apparently didn’t work.

But a recent analysis found that after a fairly energetic first half of this year, the House has settled into what Politico calls a “rather leisurely routine” of two-and-a-half day workweeks.

For example, only one vote has been held on a Friday since the House returned for its fall session Sept. 8.

“We will, then, not plan to be here on Friday. I know that disappoints all of you,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said to applause and groans on Thursday.
Asked why the House isn’t in session Friday, Hoyer blamed the Senate, where key spending bills have been held up.

“I’m not going to hold people here to twiddle our thumbs,” he said.

The issue even made a rare appearance on the House floor this week.

“We don’t have some other bills, because, frankly, we can’t get 60 votes to consider them on the floor of the United States Senate,” he said. “I think that’s lamentable.”
—
Aides to the Democratic leadership contended that, for lawmakers, time spent off the House or Senate floor, or back in home districts, hardly amounts to a holiday.

And they said that under GOP leadership, the House work ethic was even worse.

With members breezing in on Tuesday afternoons, working hard on Wednesdays an jetting out of the Capitol by Thursday afternoon.

It appears even the leaders have no clue how to lead. Party doesn’t matter, this isn’t just the affliction of the Democrats, the Republicans are just as guilty. Imagine how long we would have our jobs if we only worked two and a half days each week…

I guess the taxpayers end up the winners in this whole issue; if they aren;t there, they can’t vote. If they can’t vote, they aren’t pissing our money down a rat hole.

Lawmakers Eye Untapped Stimulus Funds as Obama Proposes New Spending

Lawmakers Eye Untapped Stimulus Funds as Obama Proposes New Spending
After President Obama called on Congress to approve $250 payments to Social Security recipients to make up for not getting a cost-of-living increase, House Minority Leader John Boehner said he’d be “happy” to support it — so long as Congress takes the money out of the stimulus package.

With the bulk of the $787 billion stimulus package still unspent, some lawmakers say, President Obama should not be adding yet another $13 billion to the deficit by funding a one-time $250 Social Security payment.

—

“The stimulus bill is not working. The American people are asking, ‘Where are the jobs?’ And if we’re going to provide this benefit to our seniors, why don’t we take it from stimulus funds that clearly aren’t getting the job done?” Boehner said.

—

James Horney, director of federal fiscal policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said calls to divert the stimulus money are unwarranted. He said one of the reasons that economic growth is projected for next year is that a large portion of the stimulus is yet to be spent.

“The idea that somehow because it hasn’t been spent, that it’s not important for getting the economy going, is misguided,” he said.

But some, including the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, are warning about the clamor for new spending. Obama’s call for additional Social Security payments, for instance, drew recriminations on Friday’s newspaper editorial pages. Since seniors received a 5.8 percent boost in January, the additional $250 check was seen more as a political move than a necessary effort to relieve seniors. The Washington Post called it a bid to “buy off” seniors while adding another $13 billion to the national debt.

Horney said there’s “no justification” for the increase in terms of inflation, since overall consumer prices have fallen.

So now that they can’t spend it fast enough on shovel-ready projects, they want to still spend it, just give it away. I am not knocking the seniors getting a bit more, but you know, my last raise, a year ago, was 2.25%. I haven’t had a raise this year, and with the way things are going, you can bet there won’t be a cost of living adjustment, because I’m not a government employee or a union grunt. Of course, I pay a LOT of taxes. Where’s mine?

HARRY REID: “He talked about CBO saying that there would be $54 billion saved each year if we put caps on medical malpractice and put some restrictions — tort reform — $54 billion. Sounds like a lot of money, doesnt it, Mr. President? The answer is yes. But remember, were talking about $2 trillion, $54 billion compared to $2 trillion. You can do the math. We can all do the math. Its a very small percent.”

Obama says he’s looking at any way to create jobs

“We are moving in the right direction,” he said.

The site is one of 8,000 road and bridge projects approved under the $787 billion economic stimulus bill Obama signed just after taking office. Construction is under way on nearly 5,000 of those projects. Obama said many are coming in 10 to 20 percent under budget, which will allow the government to invest in more projects.

Obama said the current phase of the Fairfax parkway project will create new private sector jobs. His goal, he said, is an economy “where our stock market isn’t only rising again but our businesses are hiring again.”

Ok, I’m calling BS on this. Since when has a government road project EVER come in UNDER budget? Ever? And in VA? Are you serious? WHo believes this crap?

The problem here is that Obama is realizing his spend-a-thon is not working. Although they have spent 40% of the money so far, the rate of increase in unemployment hasn’t slowed, he is having a hard time explaining where all the “saved jobs” are, and he surely can;t explain why the unemployment rate breached 8% when he promised it wouldn;t if we threw the government printing presses at it.

The more this president speaks, the mroe trouble he gets himself in to. He can’t lead, he never has shown a penchant for leadership, and those he surrounded himself with as advisors, thugs, muscle, etc, are just as bad. They can all drive the getaway car but not many of them have any idea on how to get where they are going or who is going to go in the bank door first.

A friend of mine told me about this link today. House Minority Leader John Boehner apparently made the news by calling the new amnsty bill a “piece of s&^%”. It got Lou Dobbs’ attention. He reported on it here.

Amnesty for Illegals - Lou Dobbs

Once again, you need to call your congress critters and remind them who pays the bills. Remind them who puts THEM in their offices in DC and your local district. Remind them that if they don’t listen to you,  that not only will you vote against them, you will make cash contributions to all their their opponents. Even if you don’t live in their district, the promises still work. And don’t forget, even if you don’t live in their district but they hold a leadership position - THEY DO REPRESENT YOU. Call Pelosi’s offices and let her know that she doesn’t speak for you. She might have only been elected by 170,000 votes, but she is the person who controls which bills ever see the light of day. If she doesn’t want them, they never make it to the floor of the house for discussion.

For years, we have heard the Left whine about how much the War in Iraq has cost our country, blah blah blah. According to the Congressional Research Service, the Iraq War during the whole Bush Administration (2003 to Jan 2009) has cost $622 billion.

Echoing this standard Liberal talking point was the Annointed One on his campaign trail:

“Because of the Bush-McCain policies, our debt has ballooned,” then-Sen. Barack Obama told a Charleston, W.V., crowd in March 2008. “This is creating problems in our fragile economy. And that kind of debt also places an unfair burden on our children and grandchildren, who will have to repay it.”

Now it seems that the Heritage Foundation has come out with a new report that says The Messiah will spend $880 billion in 2010 alone, on welfare programs, a total of $10.3 TRILLION over the next decade.

Obama’s spending proposals call for the largest increases in welfare benefits in U.S. history, according to a report by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. This will lead to a spending total of $10.3 trillion over the next decade on various welfare programs. These include cash payments, food, housing, Medicaid and various social services for low-income Americans and those at 200 percent of the poverty level, or $44,000 for a family of four. Among that total, $7.5 trillion will be federal money and $2.8 trillion will be federally mandated state expenditures.

How short Obama’s memory is. The Heritage Foundation also had this to say:

In that same West Virginia speech last year, Obama said, “When Iraq is costing each household about $100 a month, you’re paying a price for this war.”

The Heritage study says, “Applying that same standard to means-tested welfare spending reveals that welfare will cost each household $560 per month in 2009 and $638 per month in 2010.”

Geeze, $560-$638 a month? That’s what people’s mortgages are, in many parts of the country, and they will be responsible for that for welfare payments?

According to his White House budget proposal, President Barack Obama will increase annual federal welfare spending by one-third, from $522.4 billion to $697 billion in his first fiscal year. Adjusted for inflation, the combined two-year increase of $263 billion is greater than any increase in welfare spending in history.

By 2014, annual spending on welfare programs will reach $1 trillion for the fiscal year.

So it’s ok to spend a TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR on welfare but not ok to spend $888 billion to protect our country from people who want us all dead over 6 years?

“None of the $800 billion being spent is counted as income, so the Census comes back and they say, ‘Oh my goodness, we have 40 million poor people. We need to spend more money,’” Rector explained. “That is a game the taxpayer can never win.”

Since it’s not being counted as income, that also means it is not being taxed. That means the half the estimated cost of the ObamaCare, >$500 BILLION in the first year, will not be taxed! Who covers the taxes on that? Who makes up for that?

Just think about this. I told a couple of liberal friends of mine about this report, and here were their replies:

<Lib_1> well fixin screwups doesn’t come cheap
<Lib_2> specially when they ran off with all the money

There’s no trying to reason with these people. Of course, Lib_2 also shamefully admitted he wrote in Reverend Al Sharpton because he knew the Rev didn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning, and he didn’t like The Annointed One or McSame.

CNS News is reporting on a press conference the President of La Raza is supporting ObamaCare for illegals. Amazing… Was this unexpected?

National Council of La Raza President Janet Murguia said that health care reform should include “everyone,”  and this means illegal immigrants as well because with more people paying into the system it might lower the costs of health care.

Speaking to reporters Thursday at a press conference in support of President Barack Obama’s efforts to pass a government-led overhaul of the nation’s health care system, Murguia said that while the issue of illegal immigrants was politically difficult, there were “strong” arguments for covering the illegals.

“From our perspective there’s a strong case to be made in this country for us to reform health care [and] it ought to include everyone,” said Murguia. “There’s a lot of different reasons why we should try to reform this system once and for all so that everyone is covered. The more people who are covered, the more cost-effective and the more and better health outcomes we’re going to have.”

“We know that politically it’s very difficult right now to take on the issue of undocumenteds [but] there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be trying to cover as many people as possible, certainly when it comes to undocumented children,” she said. “Our goal should be to have health care reform for everyone.”

Mr President: “You Lie!”

At a speech before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in September, President Obama said, “I want to be clear: If someone is here illegally, they won’t be covered under this plan. That’s a commitment I’ve made.”

Keep up the pressure on ALL senators and representatives! We have got to bury this!

It’s being reported that Yosi Sergant, who was director of communications for the National Endowment for the Arts until he was reassigned this month in the wake of the controversy, offered his resignation Thursday afternoon, the NEA said in a written statement.

This is the clown that held the conference call that told the artsy people they were learning how to deal with the administration without getting in trouble, and they the artists needed to start creating art supporting Obama’s radical agenda.

“His resignation has been accepted and is effective immediately,” the statement read.

Sergant was one of several officials on an hour-long conference call on Aug. 10 hosted by the NEA, the White House Office of Public Engagement and United We Serve, a nationwide initiative launched by President Obama to increase volunteerism.

The official participants — including Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement Buffy Wicks and Michael Skolnik, political director for hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons — sought focused efforts by the approximately 75 artists on the call to produce works of art that supported the Obama administration’s agenda in areas like health care, energy and environment, education and community renewal.

White House officials announced earlier this week that steps would be taken to prevent a recurrence of the call after critics, including one of the artists on the call, labeled it a “well thought-out pitch” to encourage artists to create art on those issues.

This is VERY good news! This guy was trying to give lessons on how to get around the usual ways of getting NEA grants.

That’s particularly important in Nevada because illegal immigrants make up an estimated 12.2 percent of the state’s workforce, according to a 2008 Pew Hispanic Center study.

The bill, by Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Finance Committee, breaks a logjam and is likely to form the core of a bill in the full Senate.

The biggest beneficiaries of the Baucus bill would be people who lack insurance now, especially older people who have trouble buying coverage on their own. The Baucus plan would require insurers to accept all comers, even those who are already sick, and establish subsidies for lower- and middle-income Americans to buy insurance.

For Americans who already have coverage through their employers or Medicare — by far the majority — not much would change immediately in most cases. The biggest losers would include those who have especially generous health plans, which would be subject to a new tax aimed at insurers but that could be passed onto consumers.

Senate Democrats are going to have to move forward on healthcare without a single Republican supporter after Sen. Olympia Snowe said Tuesday she could not back the Finance Committee’s bill.

Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) failed to win any Republican backer despite weeks of intense negotiations behind closed doors to strike a deal.

Snowe (Maine), who was one of three Republicans who backed the $787 billion economic stimulus package, was being lobbied heavily by the White House, and some centrists view her refusal to strike a deal with Baucus as troubling. But concerns about how the plan would be paid for prompted her to back away in the hours before its release.

“Obviously, the conduct that you see on those tapes is completely unacceptable. I think everyone would agree to that,” Gibbs said. “The administration takes accountability extremely seriously.”

Characterizing the Census Bureau’s decision as a move based on a lack of confidence in ACORN’s ability to perform its expected duties, Gibbs said he was not sure whether the president would ask Democrats to pull back from any campaign-year collaboration with the group.

Bennet, named to the Senate by Democratic Governor Bill Ritter after President Obama nominated Senator Ken Salazar to be secretary of the Interior, has been considered politically vulnerable from the start. Rasmussen Reports polling in Colorado last week found Bennet in a toss-up with two potential – and lesser-known - Republican challengers.

Norton carries 76% of the GOP vote in a match-up with Bennet, while the incumbent earns 81% Democratic support. Voters not affiliated with either party favor Norton 52% to 21%.

In a race against Romanoff, Norton picks up 71% of Republicans, while he has 82% backing from Democratic voters. Unaffiliateds go for Norton by a 47% to 16% margin, but nearly one-out-of-four voters (24%) are undecided.

Eight percent (8%) of Colorado voters have a very favorable opinion of Bennet, while 19% view him very unfavorably. Romanoff is seen very favorably by 12% and very unfavorably by 20%.

For Norton, very favorables total 13%, while very unfavorables stand at 12%.

At this point in a campaign, Rasmussen Reports considers the number of people with a strong opinion more significant than the total favorable/unfavorable numbers.

Despite holding statewide offices, both Norton and Romanoff have to work to become better known to Colorado voters. Twenty-three percent (23%) say they don’t know enough about either candidate to express an opinion of them. Fourteen percent (14%) say the same of Bennet.

One week after President Obama’s speech to Congress, opposition to his health care reform plan has reached a new high of 55%. The latest Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll shows that just 42% now support the plan, matching the low first reached in August.

A week ago, 44% supported the proposal and 53% were opposed. Following the speech last Wednesday night intended to relaunch the health care initiative, support for the president’s effort bounced as high as 51% (see day-by-day numbers). But the new numbers suggest that support for health care reform is now about the same as it was in August.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Democrats now support the plan while 80% of Republicans are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 67% are opposed.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6. (see trends).

One week after the President’s address to Congress, opposition to his health care proposal has reached the highest level yet recorded.

Just 12% of voters nationwide believe most opponents of the President’s plan are racists. Republicans and unaffiliated voters overwhelmingly reject that notion but Democrats are more evenly divided.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) now disapprove.

Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.

The poll contradicts the claims of not only the White House, but also doctors’ own lobby — the powerful American Medical Association — both of which suggest the medical profession is behind the proposed overhaul.

It also calls into question whether an overhaul is even doable; 72% of the doctors polled disagree with the administration’s claim that the government can cover 47 million more people with better-quality care at lower cost.

The IBD/TIPP Poll was conducted by mail the past two weeks, with 1,376 practicing physicians chosen randomly throughout the country taking part. Responses are still coming in, and doctors’ positions on related topics — including the impact of an overhaul on senior care, medical school applications and drug development — will be covered later in this series.

I saw this and was stunned at the ignorance. The investigator even tried to prod them a little and they still couldn’t cathc the hint. And racism…

Who are the racists? This is a black woman doing the interview and yet “the Republicans just want a white guy in there”. You heard it here - “The first to play the race card is usually the racist.”
