What is destructive is his massive failures and mistakes. He need to take a look in the mirror to see the real problem in America today.

I agree!!

Obama is the typical condescender-in-chief. He is arrogant to the point of being dangerous. The President should never go against a news source because they do not agree with his policies. What happened to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press? Oh yea...that only applies to the lefties that agree with this discusting president and his group of cronies destroying our Country. His actions are like a child and would be comical if they were not so scary. He NEEDS TO GO!!!

Fox leans to the right, but are not far right.

MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS all lean far left.

Fox being the lone stranger, has put an ass whoppin on all the others that attack Fox. One news network takes on more than 4 others and wipes the floor with them all. WHY???

I dont think anyone has claimed Fox was unbiased, but they are fairly accurate and they bring you news that other channels dont bring you. Thats why so many other channels spend time reporting on what Fox has reported on and why Fox has so many viewers.. I'll be damned if I watch another channel to watch reports on whats being reported on a 2nd channel.. Silly concept, but one many liberals share..

Ok, perhaps I did not make myself clear. Whoever is in office they are going to spend money like a drunken sailor, the point that I intended to make is WHAT that money is spent on. The main difference between the 2 parties (at this point) is that the refuticans give the money to the wealthy finnacial sector and the dumbocrats are trying to reinvest it into the country by fixing/building the infrastructure.

Now like I mentioned before if you are well off and your money is tied up in the finanancial markets you should lean towards the refuticans, if not the dumbocrats. Either way regardless how much the public screams and fusses the government will not change the way that it spends money. This is why I look at members of the teabaggers as being mostly uninformed on how politics works and can be easily mislead by false news organizations. Don't get me wrong there are some who are knowledgeable but they are feuled more by an idea rather than reality.

They are trying to send the type of people that range from the idealist to the ignorant, the racist, to the ultra conservative clueless to washington who do not have a clue on the backroom dealings of politicans. This is what happened to Obama, he is an idealist and figured (like many americans) that there should be a change in the way washington operate. Unfortunately he, like many politicans new to the wickness of backroom dealings either succomb and make unpopular choices to appease the opposing party or they get run out of Washington.
In either event nothing will change dramatically, since politicans like normal people (believe it or not) only look at their own best interest. If you do not believe that, answer this question. Why is almost half of the senate are millionaires? The house of represenatives is not much better (2/3) and both houses make on average 3x more than the median income of the (average middle class american-120,000). So tell me what makes you think that they are really interested in lowering their taxes since the majority of them fall in the higher tax bracket.

Since they do not have a strong voting block, what they do is have the media (faux) provide misleading information to the fearful, ignorant and un(der)educated to fight their battles. Food for thought, Faux is owned by a Aussie billionaire and his personal views are telecasted through Faux and his other media ventures mainly to persuade the english speaking populace to promote his finanacial interest.

Please see for yourself ......the article is called "who is rupert murdoch"
