What is the world coming to? Over the last week, the White House briefing room has actually come alive with real questions. Perhaps their eyes have been opened. Or, perhaps there is just too much going on to ignore? With scandals brewing over Benghazi, the IRS, and the Department of Justice, a once silent media are speaking out. Even ultra kool-aid drinker Chris Matthews appears to be growing tired of Obama’s antics.
First, check out what CBS News’ Bob Schieffer had to say about the Obama administration. Schieffer asks, “Is anybody home in Washington?”And then there is this gem from MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. The guy who once had a “thrill going up his leg” over Barack Obama is now frustrated at the complete lack of interest Obama seems to have in actually executing the duties of the presidency.
Will Washington journalists actually open their eyes? There is so much going on in Obama’s White House, and so much of it seems corrupt and incompetent. If these journalists are REAL journalists, they will continue to ask the hard questions. The more questions that are asked, the more Obama will lose support, because there is no getting around the fact that Americans have died, been influenced, and been spied on, all under Barack Obama’s presidency.
Most of these scandals could have been avoided IF the press had done its job in the beginning and insisted on certifying the eligibility of Obama to hold the office.
Most of these scandals could have been avoided IF the press had done its job and demanded answers when it was obvious that Obama and his minions were violating federal laws rather than running interference for him and shielding him.
Remember the battle cry during the Bush administration: “It happened on his watch, so he is ultimately responsible”. That has never been applied to the Obama White House, and he continues to deny that he knows anything about anything that has happened.
The media is still not asking the tough questions because when Obama stood on national TV ans remarked that he learned about IRS last Friday when the press reported it, some reporter should have said, “Are you serious? Do you want us to believe that the leader of the free world who has thousands of people working for him has to find out what is going on by watching the evening news?”
My question–What is going on behind the scenes and out of public view while the outrage over these scandals is increasing?
Why did it take so long? The people on posts all over the internet have been crying for justice for 4 yrs. While they are now asking question the one about the stand down order is importante. If they say a lower level person did it , ask why a lower level had that kind of authority. Clinton is at fault. ?Maaybe because of the gun running that Stevens knew too much about. Clinton has a history of deaths in her wake. What about her deciding she is bisexual and had a lesbian affair. ? I can recall when she said she was part jewish, had black blood, all for votes,.Now shes gay. Now we know shes not desperately in love with Bill.
Yeah, they’re tired of covering up for the pathological liar that he is…
I think I will recuse myself of paying taxes…
bna42: You are right, but if the press had done its job in the beginning and insisted on certifying the eligibility of Obama to hold the office……we might now have prez hitlery.
Not sure what would be worse.
Listening to Rush Limbaugh—his thinking is that the Media will not betray Obama and the Liberal Party agenda. Whether they do or do not, they have certainly had their eyes opened to who Obama really is. He has even betrayed their trust by spying on them.
I woulde love to see the Media turn on him, but given their Liberal bias—is Obama’s misdeeds enough to convinvce them to expose him for who he really is?
The media opened it’s eyes when it became the target of spying and record seizure without the knowledge of the victim’s. Only when it became obvious it could no longer be kept under wraps and was exposed did the media scream like stuck pigs. Funny how when you are the target with a very big bullseye you open your eyes.
They won’t be open for long, not with these leftist Obama cronies.
Let’s say a girl is walking in the woods and needs to go potty. She carefully looks around to see if anyone is watching. ALL CLEAR! She lifts her skirt, drops her underpants, and squats. Someone suddenly shows up – what does she do? She immediately stands, drops her skirt, and acts innocent (she will pull up her underpants when the person leaves).
That is the ONLY thing happening here. The libterd press just got caught squatting with their skirts lifted, and underpants lowered. They are trying to hide their naked ding-a-lings flapping in the breeze by pretending to be outraged. They are already trying to invent excuses for the bozo.
You have noticed that NONE of them have demanded a full accounting with heads rolling and people going to prison.
The media will not participate in actually taking him down.
They are Obama addicts, and no matter what their addiction does to them, most of them will come back to that addiction rather than do what they need to do to remove it from their lives.
Obama addicts? I was thinking robots.
Much as I’d love to believe it, I don’t think the press will change their colors. They are a little grumpy right now because their golden boy screwed up big time and let the team down. Much like a dad who finally comes to the realization that his kid really does suck at basketball, the press will be disappointed for awhile, but they’ll eventually find some other arena where their kid can shine and they can brag him up again. This big show of disappointment is more because the Obama-fawning press is embarrassed. They created him, they promoted him, they covered for him, they invested their credibility in him and, by George, they’re not going to let him drag them down. They’ll grumble for awhile but he’s their kid and they’ll come up with face-saving excuses and be back in business in no time.
The MSM has no real journalists, only Obama propagandists. They will go back to covering for this corrupt administration just as soon as these scandals die down. There isn’t one journalist willing to try to get to the bottom of all Obama’s lies.
I am sure Chris Matthews will continue to hump Obama Bin-Lyin’s leg every day along with the rest of the staff at MSNBC and NBC. I do hope ABC and CBS have caught on to the Liar in Chief.
CNN, the Communist News Network, never will, but then they are not a real news network t all.
Thank God for Fox News. That is the one network where the truth is always available.
Good crop of comments, all you guys but especially: bna42, hear hear. The issue of his eligibility has never been ascertained. McCain’s was, obama’s was ignored and there’s a reason for it: it was impossible to do. The man is a rotten tree. All that we’re seeing are the fruits of the rotten tree. Only a good tree bears good fruit. All we will continue to see with him is more bad stuff. I’m hoping with all of you that these overpaid and glorified “propagandists” will do what they should do and that’s report the news, investigate and ask hard questions instead of prop up a loser.
One addt’l comment, Schieffer is a joke and Charlie Rose is a dem lackey. In this clip, Schieffer continues to run blocks for obama “this isn’t as bad as Watergate.” Huh, *** Bobbie, don’t ask where are the reporters in DC — look in the mirror you old ***. You were a failure in the debate, and you’re continuing to be a loser. Fool.
Schieffer is worse than a joke but it is not allowed in print here.
Hmmmm,
I wonder if Joe could be in a position to defend the Constitution and toss Obama under the bus in the process? Timing is everything.
If the Dems want to retain control, and stage for the future elections, Joe just might have a better shot at leading them forward with ineptness rather than Obama or Hillary with lies. Yup, truth is stranger than fiction … I just hope that we don’t let all this slip away. The truth is “leaking” through … maybe the dam will burst and everyone will see what we’ve known all along has been slithering in the murky waters.
Obama-Nation is an Abomination.

If you are talking about Joe Biden, I think you are dreaming. Biden would do the same thing Gerald Ford did for Nixon, issue a full pardon immediately to prevent Obama from any prosecution.
The press represents the leftist/anti-christian/democrats as much so now as ever. Sometimes they are just forced to report news they would otherwise like to ignore. When they do have to report news they would rather not report it’s always in the template of minimizing bad news against the left, minimizing good news for the right, exaggerating bad news for the right and exaggerating good news for the left. Nothing new here folks, keep it moving, nothing to see hear., please just move along.
Don’t be deceived by their hollow words. The press, and the liberal media has provided cover for him on every scandal. What they say and what they do are two different things. These liberal hacks will continue to be enamored with and defend the toxic Obama until their last breath.
Sad … but likely true.
Obama will likely sing a song that gives them a reason to say “Oh … okay then. Sorry we ever doubted you.”
His “executive action” and “leadership talk” already has them in double speak mode. On one hand they are saying, he’s not been acting like a President, but now that he fired someone and got mad at the IRS … suddenly he’s a President again.
He never was a President, never has been, and never will be, no matter how long he lives in the White House. It may have been said that “You sir, are no Jack Kennedy” to other Presidential candidates … but in Obama’s case it would be better modified to read “You sir, are no American President.”

Journalists are educated and “brainwashed” in liberal institutions. Therefore, by nature, they are liberal. Only a very small percentage of journalists are conservative thus tilting the scale in favor of the liberal agenda and the democrat party. To say that the deck is stacked against conservatives is an understatement. Unfortunately liberals and the corrupt press always root for their team as if politics were some kind of team sport. So, don’t expect much fro the corrupt liberal press in reporting the scandals now permeating the Obama Administration.
The only way to undermine the corrupt press and get to the bottom of all the Obama scandals is to appoint “Special/ Independent Prosecutors”. Obamas minions are numerous and the only way to disprove or verify Obamas complicity in the scandals is dig out his underlings to see how and if Obama instigated things like the IRS/ Democrat Enemies list; which is a repeat the Nixon era and was one of the articles of his IMPEACHMENT)
If Obama is clean, he would favor such an inquiry and cooperate with the investigations. Barring the absence of such investigations, the finger of doubt points directly at the White House and the corrupt press be damned.
The Boston bomber wrote a note in the boat where he was hiding, claiming that the bombing was retribution for muslims killed by the U.S. You guessed it–that means the Boston bombing was (ready, 1, 2, 3..) Bush’s fault! I have not seen any “journalist” claim this yet, but give it another day or so…
Bob Schieffer is right–Benghazi is no Watergate. Watergate involved a simple burglary by low level people without the knowledge or consent of Nixon. However, when Nixon found out about it, he covered it up. Watergate was all about the cover-up.
Benghazi is completely different. Both Obama and Hillary Clinton knew that the president’s campaign rhetoric that Al Qaeda was defeated and on the run was untrue. But to further that campaign rhetoric, Obama and Hillary put U.S. citizens, including Ambassador Stevens, in harms way and denied their repeated requests for additional security. Obama and Hillary were willing to risk the lives of U.S. citizens for the sake of the President’s re-election campaign. The risk they were unwilling to take was that their narrative that the world was safer under Obama’s “leadership” would be exposed as fraudulent. Unfortunately for brave Americans serving their country in Libya, Obama’s and Hillary’s gamble did not pay off. And as anyone with half a brain could have predicted and foreseen, on the anniversary of 9/11, terrorists attacked Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi, killing him and 3 other brave souls. Again, to protect the campaign narrative, Obama and Hillary refused to send in troops or any other assistance to those brave Americans under attack for over 7 hours. Then after the attack was over and our people were dead, Obama and Hillary manufactured a complete lie, blaming the attack on a protest gone awry as a result of a you tube video critical of Islam. So, unlike Watergate, Obama and Hillary were involved in the planning of the original crime, the cover-up or lie that Al Qaeda was defeated and on the run. Then in an act of gross and criminal negligence, they placed Americans in harms way and refused to protect them. Then when Islamic terrorists linked to Al Qaeda attacked Americans, Obama and Hillary did nothing to help them–abandoning them to their deaths. Then Obama and Hillary concocted another cover-up, spinning the lie that no one could have foreseen the attack because it arose from a spontaneous demonstration protesting a “despicable” you tube video that no one had ever seen.
So once again, I say that Bob Schieffer is right. Benghazi is not Watergate…it is 1000 times worse.
BarACK HUSSEIN Osama = LIE AND DENY – it’s the muslim way
There is so much stink coming from Obama and the Democrats they are just having a hard time covering up for them, and that’s what they are trying to figure out how to do, Don’t be fooled they will find a scape goat, and then lie about it. Abolish this Destructive Treasonous Democratic party.
It IS possible to not know what subordinates do if they are given too much freedom to act on their own. Reagan was surprised by LtCol Oliver North. North was acting to benefit America, but he went beyond the scope of his approved mission.
Many supervisors encourage their subordinates to do unlawful things simply by saying, “Wouldn’t it be great if …” Perhaps Nixon just said, “I sure would like to know what secrets the Democrats have”, and his minions decided to find out. Nixon’s BIG mistake was the cover-up. If he had admitted he learned about it too late and apologized, he probably would have served out his term.
BIG difference – no one died from Watergate.
Chris,
Prior to running for President, he had never had a real job nor shown any abilities or success in anything he ever did. What made you think he was going to turn into a workaholic once he got into the White House?

No!
They lied and connived to get him elected and he didn’t bow down to them so they are probably just disenchanted. And now that they discovered they were wiretapped, well, you get the picture. Now that nobody trusts the journalists because they were so enamored with such a snake oil salesman, they can all sink in the same quagmire.
Don’t get too excited this is just a bump in their road they’ll go back to their normal love fest in no time.
Right. Moving along. Noting to see here.
A lot of people are skeptical about the media ending its honeymoon with Obama, but such a thing has happened before. The media adored the way Edmund Muskie, Vice Presidential candidate under Hubert Humphrey, invited a student radical up to the microphone to discuss issues with him.
The honeymoon lasted for long after Humphrey lost the election to Nixon, and Muskie seemed to be a strong candidate for the Presidency four years later — until he broke down and cried on camera over some malicious gossip about his wife. The media dropped him like a hot potato and he was washed up as a candidate.
I’m afraid your examples cannot compare. Americans died in Benghazi because of Obama’s actions (or inaction – we still don’t know which) and still the media covered for that criminal. Americans and Mexicans died because of Fast and Furious; Obama covered it up yet the media covered for him. Obama has a history of radical associations yet the media covered for him. Obama was never properly vetted yet the media covered for him.
The media is just as guilty as Obama.
Don’t get excited thinking the liberal press might have suddenly awakened and decided it is time to start doing their job with regards to Obama. In reality their comments are meant to protect him from scandals that might bring him down, not criticize. Obama couldn’t be behind all of this because he is too disconnected and uninvolved. When all is said and done President Obama’s only failing will be that he took his eye off the ball.
