Please "dear leader" Save Us

Not straying form the liberal notion, only the government can save _____ ! Dan ask the government to save the media!

Dan Rather wants Obama to help save the news
“I personally encourage the president to establish a White House commission on public media,” the legendary newsman said.

Such a commission on media reform, Rather said, ought to make recommendations on saving journalism jobs and creating new business models to keep news organizations alive.

Here is a plan Dan - "The Media" runs the media like a business and gives their consumers what they want, stop treating their readers like idiots, and stop force feeding YOUR OPINIONS - simply REPORT the NEWS... Oh hey, Dan the really important part, report the news HONESTLY, as hard as that may be!

But on second thought, they government stepping in (or Obama steeping) to run the media does remove all pretense of "honest reporting" - After all, the MSM has sold out to liberals, democrats, and Obama lock stock and barrel!

Promises, promises, promise....LIE

How can a man, our president, make promises about something he knows nothing about - Worse, how can the main stream media not call him on it. Folks, the media ain't there for the public and hasn't been for quite some time!

Obama Admits He’s “Not Familiar” With House Bill
President Obama replied: “You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.” (quote begins at 17:10)

This is a truly disturbing admission by the President, especially considering that later in the call, Obama promises yet again: “If you have health insurance, and you like it, and you have a doctor that you like, then you can keep it. Period.”

Brilliant...simply Brilliant - NOT!

The below comment just oozes brilliance doesn't it - Spend more, "more than you have obviously" to keep from going broke...and we wonder why Americans live on credit and beyond their means.Joe Biden: ‘We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt’

“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

...by the way, I am believe I am going to share this quote with my management team today and ask for a raise. "Give me a raise, because if we don't spend more money we will go bankrupt and I want to do everything I can for the company!"

The Promises are Falling Apart?

Can the Obama loving and protecting media actually being turning against their beloved leader?

AP News: PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama tax pledge unrealistic

have already increased tobacco taxes - which disproportionately hit the poor[...]"Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes," Obama told a crowd in Dover, N.H., last year.But less than a month after taking office, Obama signed an expansion of child health care financed by 62-cent tax increase on each pack of cigarettes.[...]While not directly increasing taxes, a House-passed version of Obama's plan to reduce greenhouse gases blamed for causing global warming would similarly increase American families' home energy bills by $175 a year on average, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

...wasn't this suppose to stop with his election?

I thought the "hatred" of America was supposed to stop, with the "we can get along with everyone" president and an appeasement foreign policy - Guess the North Koreans didn't get that memo.

N.Korea accuses Obama of nuclear war plot
North Korea has accused US President Barack Obama of plotting a nuclear war on the communist nation by reaffirming a US assurance of security for South Korea, the North's state media said.

Healthcare?

Interesting read about health care...get one to thinking.

A Doctor’s View of Obama’s Healthcare Plans - WSJ.com
.” In fact, a thoughtful lay friend recently said to me in the context of her medical care, “Face it, Abraham, medicine is corrupt.” She stated this casually, as if it were an obvious and well-known fact, not waiting to see if I would agree. At the time I remember that I sputtered. I wanted to protest but the sounds would not come out. That word “corrupt” gnawed at me for days.


Wasn't the whole world supposed to be butter in his hands? It appears N Korea didn't get that memo and are still playing the same game...how will our new President respond?
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea accused President Barack Obama's government of meddling in its internal affairs Wednesday and vowed to take "every necessary measure" to defend itself against what it calls U.S. threats.

The statement by North Korea's Foreign Ministry, however, was far less harsh than rhetoric issued by the country's military during the run-up to joint U.S.-South Korean war games that started across the South on Monday. The North's military has threatened South Korean passenger planes and put its troops on standby.

This has some interesting information about the "myth" that is global warming...
"In the early days of the IPCC, I was visiting the head of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy -- the director, Dr. Robert Watson, who later became the first Chairman of the IPCC. He informed me and a work associate with me that since we had started to regulate Ozone depleting substances under the 1987 Montreal Protocol, the next goal, in his mind, was to regulate Carbon Dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning. This was nearly twenty years ago. There was no mention of a scientific basis for that goal. So, as you can see from the beginning of the IPCC process, it has been guided by desired policy outcomes, not science."

Well let's see - The sultans of smart in our education system already want to teach America's children God couldn't have created the planet, every good child should be totally dependent on the government, there is not failure therefore no success, and now further brainwashing that they can someone how "save the planet" by what choosing paper instead of plastic... Really GIVE ME A BREAK!

Environmental Lesson Plans Drawing Praise, Concern
Could environmental education be crossing into environmental indoctrination? Some critics say yes, as schools boast that such curricula simply is teaching children ways of caring for the earth.

Being a "good" student at Western Avenue Elementary School in Flossmoor, Ill., means more than just doing reading, writing and arithmetic well. It also means trying to save the planet.


I do not advocate nor participate in total abandonment and do think we should be good stewards of what GOD have given us; however, it is the arrogance of man to believe that simply their action can and will destroy this planet before the time and place of GOD's choosing... So if we cannot destory before God so chooses, how can we, you, save it????

One more question - A few days last summer we had record highs giving way to "global warming" rhetoric; however, we broke recodes from 1891 and 1902...what was killing the planet then, did they predict the end in 50 years, and what change????? Want to MAYBE convenience me accurately predict the weather tomorrow and we will talk!!!

Amazing - In the worst economy since the depression I can't get a table at the local IHOP. Never heard they had that problem then - Maybe that explains the soup lines all the restaurants were full.
