Obama, Again, Shows Another Unconstitutional Viewpoint

From Castro's Cuba, to Chavez' Venezuela, to China's Communist Regime, two common themes ares always there: The complete control of the press and the restriction of free speech. In countries where the government is usurping the will of the people, the suppression of opposing viewpoints is paramount for them to do what they need to do to take compete control of a country.

In a Saturday Commencement speech, Obama reinforced this kind of dictatorial, anti-opposing viewpoint attitude by criticizing talk radio (Rush Limbaugh?) and cable news (Fox News?) by saying: "You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank all that high on the truth meter..."

Let's face it, those "news outlets", that he is complaining about, are the only voices that are left to keep he and his Democratic cronies from completely taking control of the ruination of this country. The country has a helluva lot more friendly voices for Obama than it has in dissent against what he has been doing. On the news front, he already has the loving adoration of the Associated Press, New York Times and Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, and CNN; as well as the majority of other news outlets in the country. Yet, he seems to think that things are totally out of balance because the three small voices in our country --- Conservative Talk Radio, Fox News, and those right wing bloggers -- are gaining traction.

It isn't Fox or Russ Limbaugh that Obama is concerned about. He's concerned about the truth and that is something that the mainstream media has turned it's head away from; ever since Obama began running for office. Increasingly, America's ears are moving towards conservative media -- with ratings higher than ever -- because, simply, they don't believe Obama. People aren't as stupid as this President seems believe. He has an attitude that his way is the only way. Yet, in many ways, his way is not the American way; and, the people now know it. The polls show it. And, the growth in conservative media proves it.

So, if Obama is nervous about opposing views, he should look in the mirror. He and he, alone, is the catalyst that is moving this country towards conservative and opposing opinion. The Office of the President has the bully-pulpit; which still is the most powerful voice in America. But, it should be used for the truth and not be abused. But this President distorts the truth by making false and misleading statements and by using absurd and false examples like "a father and daughter going out for ice cream" and the Arizona cops will shake him down for his immigration papers. Or, that doctors remove tonsils and diabetic feet so they can make more money. That he will not hire lobbyists; and, he did. Or, close Guantanamo Bay in a year and, yet, it stills remains open. Or, his lie that children with pre-existing conditions are covered in his health care reform bill, or that the bill will reduce the deficit. And, the biggest lie of all: The stimulus package will keep unemployment under 8 percent!

Obviously, Obama might well have been talking about his own words when he remarked: "some of which don't always rank all that high on the truth meter." Fortunately, for America, we do have a "truth meter" and it is Fox News, Talk Radio, and all those right-wing bloggers.
