It would seem with Obama that everything comes down to deflection, distraction, misdirection, and obfuscation. No matter what the issue is he either doesn’t answer it at all, deflects by bring something else up and thus that becomes the topic of conversation or flat out refuses to even hear or acknowledge the issue.
Obama was called to court by Georgia, he refused to show up, was not held in contempt, and the judges then determined to simply drop the whole case by the plaintiffs. What is wrong with this picture? What’s wrong with this is that congress and the president all now assume they are above the law.
The congress issues a subpoena for documents from Fast and Furious, they don’t get all the documents they request and again nothing happens. What does this say? That congress is impotent and irrelevant. Obama has told his administration to find ways to get done what he wants done without congress.
Sadly the congress has put itself in this position by creating all kinds of agencies that are allowed to create every manner of regulation (we used to call them laws, but of course only congress can do that) without needing congress to pass anything. Now that they realize their impotence do they do anything to stop it? Of course not!
Obama decides he doesn’t want to be cornered on the issue of the economy or gas prices, or housing, or jobs, or any of many other issues, and what he does is create controversy about a woman’s right to birth control and forcing the Catholic Church to provide it. This is nothing more than a distraction from the real issues, but sure enough the media like a raven with a shiny object latches right onto it and won’t let it go for weeks at a time. Almost every radio show becomes consumed with addressing the issues as though it were somehow relevant.
I’m sure the president is quite happy that Fox News is consumed almost 24/7 with reporting on the republican primaries. After all they have to make sure they get their guy Romney in place. He has been labeled the weak front runner, the presumed frontrunner, or just the front runner, in almost every report no matter how weak the reasoning for that may be.
This is also a welcome distraction for Obama not having to answer any difficult questions. Of course Fox News does little to raise any of the serious issues or get any hard questions answered. All the administration needs to do is stonewall the congress and the media and they all back off, as much as to say, “well there’s nothing we can do about it.”
If the media isn’t directly helping Obama they are certainly not doing much to call him to account on any of the many issues that are so important at this time.
The media was once called the watchdog of government, then it was called the fourth branch of government, now it should be called the propaganda arm of the government. It certainly behaves that way. It is busy either running interference, spinning everything, simply not reporting something, or at least giving both sides as though they were both equally valid. They have certainly given up any semblance of demanding information from the government and if they don’t get it reporting what they want to thus making the government look bad till the government or the administration gives them some real information.
They could have reported that the president refuses to give up his college information and his real birth certificate. They could have reported that Obama has yet to prove he is a natural born citizen and thus does not qualify for the presidency, but in all of this they have just gone along with him ridiculing any that call this into question; so much so that even judges are afraid to have anything to do with a case involving this most important issue.
The president has done many things which are clearly unconstitutional, but do the media report it as such? Does the media, start writing stories that they’re surprised congress has not been calling for his impeachment? No of course they don’t do any of these things. They are all willingly silent on this issue and the few WND and a few others willing to report on it are ostracized as not being real news reporters.
Sheriff Arpaio, after doing a real police investigation determines that Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery, and there is almost not a word spoken or broadcast about it. Forgery is a felony and at the very least Obama would be aware that what he was presenting was not his real birth certificate, this would make him an accomplice to a felony which is also a felony. By definition a felony is a high crime and thus an impeachable offense, but again not a word from the media, not even Fox news gave it the time of day.
