Are you serious? That's like asking if my 7 year old runs my house. The man gets his information from the news, just like the rest of us, remember? He can't even get the approval of a majority of Americans, how could he lead the world?

This has got to be a troll thread...

Control of public information and opinion
Liberal media outlets that will defend Obama no matter what he does.

Increasing dependency on government
Welfare rolls have increased exponentially under Obama

Subversion of internal checks and balances
I've got a pen and a phone. Bypassing Congress

Suppression of investigators and whistleblowers
Look at how whistleblowers are demonized. One even felt he had to go to another country

Use of the law for competition suppression
Use of the IRS to silence Obama's opponents during the election

Use of staged events to produce popular support
Obama just tried using the Rose Garden with the Bergdahl, and how many times did we hear Osama bin Laden is dead as if Obama did it single handedly?

Political correctness
We are safer to stay silent, so many words are offensive.

Increasing public ignorance of their civic duties and reluctance to perform them
The liberal media will not report on any issue that does not project Obama or his administration in a favorable light. If anyone disagrees, they are called racist, liars, demonized. Lie for this administration and you get a promotion.

Vote fraud used to prevent the election of reformers
Democrats telling the world that blacks and the poor are too dumb to be able to get a voter ID. Then denying there is any fraud.


They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.
-- Barack Obama
The greatest propaganda piece politicians have at their disposal is the MSM. At present time most of it is at the whim of progressives, Obama being ringleader. All news we see/hear comes from the MSM be it print/airwaves/internet. The AP and UPI aren't viable news sources; how many people still read newspapers or believe network news these days? It's all propaganda.

This was CNN during the first Gulf War. There are several videos you can find of this.

I don't know what the political slant was here but great news, right?

Obama thinks as a world leader. His main interest is not the United States. His objective is bringing the United States down quite a few pegs and allow other nations to grow stronger and let us fall by the wayside.

All of Obama's decisions have been for the betterment of other countries or for the downfall of this nation as far as higher costs to live

. Now Obama is attacking the coal industry head on . We get 40 percent of the nations electric supply from coal. We are also a very rich coal nation. Obama is against oil drilling and has cut down drastically the amount of permits to drill.

Obama is not for this nation. His own words reflect that in his comments. One has to listen very carefully and look at how his decisions affect the average individual who has to meet the cost of living in this country.

With higher energy and food plus health costs we are a doomed nation especially in a bad economy and high unemployment. Obama's own personal vision for this nation is reflected in his actions and it is not good for the average American. This is the worst possible time to move against coal and oil.

The housing industry is dead, foreclosures continue and the cost of living is going through the roof.
The whole world hated us for attacking Iraq for no reason. 100,000 innocent Iraqi people were killed by the Iraq war. Do you think its wrong to apologize for doing such things?

And how has Obama hurt America?

He has cut GW Bush's deficits in 1/2, and brought down government spending more than any president in the last 60 years.

The CEO's who run Fox news and Rush radio hate Obama, and the republican CEO politicians also hate Obama. They hate him because he is against tax cuts like these.

Are you kidding? Obama is the most divisive president we've had in years. Strength, unification and leader of the world are the last things that come to mind when he speaks. He can't even lead his own party much less the world.

Republicans even oppose tax cuts for small businesses.
GOP Blocks Senate Small-Business Tax Cut Bill : Roll Call News

Then republicans oppose tax credits for poor workers, they oppose workers unions, ex.ex. (but they sure as hell support trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the rich.)

Only a complete fool would vote republican (especially because all their tax cut money gets added to our national debt, and then the rich use their tax cut money to build US factories in Asia.)
