and speaking of Shep Smith -- O welly well!

"The Fox Report with Shepard Smith remains the top-rated newscast in cable news and is ranked third in the top programs in U.S. cable news.[3]" - Shep Smith wiki entry
Recently recognized as the second most trusted news anchor in the country in a TV Guide poll, Shepard Smith joined FOX News Channel at the network's inception in 1996. Currently, Smith anchors FNC's signature evening newscast, "The Fox Report," the No. 1 rated newscast ranking third overall in the top five programs in cable news.

I think Obama is dreaming about Fox News and maybe is hoping that one day he will be the owner of Fox News.
He doesn't mention them by name, those interviewing use their name, and he has been on Fox News before.

Anyway, he's now President, they should come to him.

Would that be similar to the figures in approval polls? They, to, are numbers which can be manipulated to show what someone wants them to show. Just saying.

Your fantasy? No idea why you buy into it. Not enough true reasoning on your part?

#1 - Maybe you all are thinking of Fox's wretched, disgusting "entertainment" channel -- sadly an accurate mirror of, and compass to, this country's current state of "mind".

(though naturally they blame "Hollywood" for the US's cultural ills, and you all swallow that right down as the loyal if schizophrenic sheepies you are )

Has it occured to you that your screen name says it all about your political stance: delusional?

But that is okay, we all need your comic relief.

"Oooh! I havent gotten to use my autoreply for several days! Hold on... I have a standard reply when people -- always rightwingers, oddly -- make the big discovery about my username and feel compelled to bring it to my attention in some elephantine way. Okay, here.

'Oh, I get it! Hey, that's pretty bright of you, [Predos]. I never noticed how I'd designed my username until you pointed it out for me. Thanks!'"
I swear it's always right wingers, every single time. Too creepy....

FOX never attacks, they just tell the facts, and the truth scares dumbo to death. He perfers ignorant people who believe everything he says.
FOX is going to be his undoing. Someday even the ignorand democrats will relize they have been had, hopefully it won't be to late.
If you like North Korea, you will love Obama's plans for the US...
