Quote:According to CNN’s Carol Costello, the Obama Administration tries to get reporters fired for embarrassing the president.

No, this is not a joke.

On CNN last night, Costello said if you make Obama look bad, you can lose your job as a reporter.

She said, “And Will really does have a point. Because I felt it first hand when I was, you know, reporting on the presidential race. I mean President Obama’s people can be quite nasty. They don’t like you to say anything bad about their boss, and they’re not afraid to use whatever means they have at hand to stop you from doing that, including threatening your job.”

One of the scariest things about the Obama admin. Dirty Chicago politics - pushing to go the route that Banana Republic dictators use.......and the Obamabots will overlook it all for dear leader.

I wonder just how far these clowns would allow Obama to go - my guess would be about as far as Hugo Chevez was allowed to go.

threaten those who disagree, audit those who don't toe the line, spy on those you suspect...
Doing the Daley family proud.

Awfully thin-skinned for the smartest guy in the room, no?

Odd, I haven't clicked "post reply" yet, and already there's a black van outside my house.

Really old news, but always glad to hear it from a different source.

Is that what that mystery helicopter is overhead?

When this stuff starts coming out you have to wonder... Is it all beginning to unravel?

That only works in small areas. It shouldn't make a bit of difference on a national scale. In fact it should turn up the heat on him.

But...journalists are too busy trying to push their ignorant leftist agenda. So they take the abuse. It's surreal.

2014 Republicans take over the senate.
2014 Republicans Impeach Obama for Treason (arming Al-Qaeda)
2014 Obamabots riot in the streets, marshall law is implemented, and CWII begins.


I'm not a prophet, just a guy who pays attention and thinks ahead.

Still think it was odd timing that Obama's grandmother died the night before his first presidential election.

Just as odd as Benghazi being about a video before his second election.

If either of the second two happen, I'll buy you a Coke.

How about the Committee to Protect Journalists saying the same thing?

What I find most confusing in these instances of the White House trying to silence/discredit members of the press, is that in the past, these would have been the types of events that would mobilize the media into performing a (metaphorical) colonoscopy on an administration.

And this is not the first instance. Remember James Rosen, CBS' Sharyl Attkisson, Bob Beckel, the AP phone records, etc.

Why is the press not getting their collective panties in a knot?(That's a rhetorical question which we all know the answer to.)

I give the leftie spin machine a lot of credit. We will see a lot of cracks before the damn breaks.

So then he isn't stepping down in 2016?

Can I get some if what you are smoking?

Btw, you are incapable of thinking.
