Pro-Obama media bias


Barack Obama

I can't believe that the Americans, the leaders of the free world, have chosen a left-wing defeatist as President. If the Americans become like the Europeans, who will be left to defend the West against its enemies?

I am by nature an optimist. Maybe Obama will grow in office, and abandon the stupid ideas he grew up with. If not, this is going to be a very long and dangerous four years for the world.

Barack Obama



Obama is a partisan, divisive figure




Obama fails to unite the country.
He is the most partisan first-year president in history (since Gallup started polling).
From Gallup.




Obama on foreign policy



Obama's staff and advisers

Obama himself is pretty terrifying. But his staff and advisers are worse. Let's hope America is strong enough to survive this bunch, and smart enough to get rid of them in 2012.





Samantha Power is representative of the dangerous, orthodox liberal-left advice Obama will be getting on foreign policy.
Here she refuses to stand unconditionally with the democracy of Israel as it defends itself against genocidal non-democracies. Instead she sees moral equivalence.

Her husband is the disturbing Obama official Cass Sunstein.



Mark Lloyd was appointed Chief "Diversity Officer" at the Federal Communications Commission by President Obama in August 2009.
Here he praises South American thug Hugo Chavez for shutting down the free press in Venezuela.
And search.



Radical Van Jones was appointed White House Special Advisor for "Green Jobs" by Obama in Mar 2009.
He resigned after controversy when Americans learned about his communist and anti-police past.



Anita Dunn (White House Communications Director) admires Mao, June 2009, and praises the butcher during his rise to power in 1947.
Imagine a Bush staffer praising the rise to power of Hitler this way, saying that in prison he never gave up, and so on.
Shame on her. Shame on her ignorance.
Unbelievably, she praised this satanic butcher of clergy and Christians in a speech given in Washington National Cathedral.
Search for more and more video:



The piously politically-correct Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) portrays US soldiers at Guantanamo as male rapists.
It also portrays US security chiefs as fanatical racists.
In Obama's worldview, this is all cool. Kal Penn (Kalpen Modi), who plays Kumar, was appointed by President Obama as Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement in Apr 2009. It seems that any slander of the troops is OK with this Commander in Chief.




Obama and the War on Islamism



Obama's dreadful speech in Cairo, June 2009




Jan 2010 protest against the Islamic persecution of Christians in Egypt.
Funny how Obama never found time to mention this during his dreadful speech.




Fort Hood massacre, Nov 2009 - The worst Islamist terror homeland attack in 7 years happens months into Obama's watch



Gates of Vienna extracts a "word cloud" from the text of Fort Hood news stories in the media.
Note the prominence of "backlash", "snapped" and "speculation", indicating the spin the media are putting on this.
More relevant terms like "jihad" and "terrorism" seem to be absent.




Obama and the Iraq War

Obama opposed the Iraq War from the start. He constantly opposed the "surge" that is bringing an incredible victory. Everything in his past tells us that in office Obama will lose the Iraq War. Americans are taking an appalling risk electing this man during a war.




Obama was wrong on the surge.
See what Obama said about the surge in 2007.
How can we trust him on Iraq again?
From here.



Full round-up of Obama's shallow, changeable, poorly thought out, and endlessly shifting positions on Iraq.
Do Americans really want this weak, naive, inexperienced young man in charge of the war?
From the McCain campaign.



Anti-War Protest, LA, March 2008.
They believe Obama will help them lose the Iraq War.
Let's hope they are mistaken.




 
"I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse"
- Barack Obama, Jan 2007, on the surge.

"this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything"
- Harry Reid, leader of the Democrats in the Senate, April 19, 2007, expressing how the Democratic party basically gave up on the war.

"We don't need more spin about how the surge is succeeding"
- Obama, 31 May 2008.

Question to Obama, July 2008: "If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?"
Obama: "No", followed by lots of waffling justification [click on the link to see].

"Let's look at just one example at a lifetime of principled stands that John McCain's brought about: his support for the troop surge in Iraq. The Democratic Party had given up on Iraq. And I believe, ladies and gentlemen, when they gave up on Iraq, they had given up on America. ... In the single biggest policy decision of this election, John McCain got it right, and Barack Obama got it wrong."
- Rudy Giuliani, 3 Sept 2008, on history's judgement on Obama and the Democratic party.

"Now, we know the surge has worked. Our men and women in uniform know it has worked. And I promise you, above all others, Al Qaeda knows it has worked. The only people who deny it are Barack Obama and his buddies at MoveOn.org. Why won't they admit it? Because Barack Obama's campaign is built around us losing in Iraq. ... Last summer, we came within two votes - two votes - of a congressionally mandated surrender. One Democrat, one Democrat broke with his party to support the surge. Ladies and gentlemen, thank God for Joe Lieberman. It was John McCain's voice and credibility that stopped the Democratic Congress from losing this war. Gen. Petraeus' plan will be a model for generations to come, and our troops will be heroes for the ages. Those who predicted failure, voted to cut off funding for our troops, and played politics with our national security will be footnotes in history. ... While Barack Obama expresses appreciation for our troops' service, he refuses to acknowledge their success. They have worked too hard, they have sacrificed too much for a patronizing pat on the back. ... Not once - not once was Barack Obama's eloquent voice ever raised in support of victory in Iraq. Not once was it used to rally our troops in battle. Instead, he inspired those who supported retreat and would have accepted our defeat. We should all be grateful, ladies and gentlemen, that Barack Obama was unable to defeat the surge."
- Lindsey Graham, 4 Sept 2008.

"Years of debate over Iraq and terrorism have left our unity on national security issues in tatters, and created a highly polarized and partisan backdrop for this effort."
- President Obama's hypocritical speech on his Afghan surge, 1 Dec 2009.
Um yes, wasn't it you, and people like you, that caused this lack of unity and partisan division? It was people like you who attacked Bush for 8 long years over Iraq, Afghanistan and national security. And even today, the Republicans will support your Afghan surge. It's your own party that will oppose it.

"I am very optimistic about - about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government."
Vice-President Joe Biden, Feb 2010, tries to claim credit for Bush's success in Iraq.




The "birthers"

The "birthers" are wrong. Obama was born in Hawaii, as he says. The newspaper birth notices are proof of that, as is the abstract of the original birth cert. Having said that, the birthers do have a point. An original birth cert exists, but we are not allowed see it, only an abstract. If this was Bush, the media would be screaming for its release. But because it is Obama, the media ridicules anyone who wants to see it, and calls them racists.

Maybe the real story is not what is on the original birth cert (probably nothing interesting), but rather the arrogance of Obama, and the failure of the Obama-loving media to do their job.




WND "birther" billboard.
I am sure Obama was born in Hawaii, as he says.
But WND still has a point.




In defence of Obama

Can anything be written in defence of Obama? Yes. Despite his awful rhetoric, Obama's actions have been more cautious. He has continued the use of violence against the global jihad. He could be a lot worse.

It is interesting to consider that Obama is already a "war criminal" by the definition the left uses for Bush. Obama is assassinating jihadis from the air without trial, even sometimes killing their families and civilians as collateral damage. Yet why the silence from the left? Why no calls to arrest Obama and try him as a war criminal? He is doing exactly the same thing people condemned Israel for, yet we hear only silence.

Silence from the left, that is. The right doesn't mind that he is doing such things, and it did not condemn Bush and Israel for doing them.




Air strikes in Pakistan have escalated under Obama. He's not all bad.

Obama has a lot to un-learn in office. Let's hope he grows up fast.
