MSNBC Concedes Obama and Democrats to Lose Control of House - Maybe Senate!

.


In a rare reversal of form MSNBC, the mouthpiece for the liberal Democrats controlling the White House and Congress, held a "Midterm Exam" on the upcoming elections and spokesman Chris Matthews declared that a failure by Republicans to win control of the House and maybe the Senate would be a major loss for the Republicans. What nonsense!



In political jargon we call this strategy "covering your a--" in that while accepting a major defeat in advance, the loss of majority status, you try to make any gains by the Republicans that amount to less than majority control a defeat. Where I come from any gains by the Republicans over the current status is a win, plain and simple.



Unfortunately there is nothing plain and simple in national media and political prognostication and Chris Matthews declaring the GOP fails if it does not take control is more a signal from the White House that they cannot stop the hemorrhage, they are now into damage control and trying to minimize the incredible fall from grace experienced by Obama, formerly the most popular new president in recent memory.

As his favorable polls drift toward the 30's for the first time, and his massive liberal agenda is on the table when the nation is clearly demanding to be governed from the middle, the Obama policy is in trouble. What they don't want you to know is that GOP control over either the House or Senate, such as Nancy Pelosi gained back in 2006, would give the Republicans subpoena power for the first time since Obama took office.



If the GOP controls either the House or Senate the Obama administration could no longer hide behind the Democratic party leadership knowing the Democrats do not have the guts to investigate the actions of Obama or his staff from the campaign through his presidency. You see, our Transparent President has been anything but transparent and his continued partisan attacks on the GOP are a smoke screen to hide the fear that losing the subpoena control could expose himself, his campaign and his administration to scrutiny under the microscope.

The Democratic leadership has been quite artful dodgers when it comes to hiding the sins of the Majority party and the Obama Chicago machine. There are many unanswered questions concerning Obama and the left wing, Obama and his questionable associates, Obama and Rahm Emanuel and their relationship to Goldman Sachs from long before he became president, the relationship between Obama and the powerful drug lobby of the pharmaceutical and health care industry, Wall Street and the Obama gang, the use of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to destroy the economy, and you get it.



If the House were taken over by Republicans they would appoint Chairmen and control the Congressional committees for the first time since Obama was elected, and be able to use the powerful subpoena process to compel answers to questions ignored by the media.

Of course part of the posturing by MSNBC may come from the fact they were being isolated far to the left of the mainstream media and in danger of becoming the poster boys for radical media manipulation of the real Obama legacy. That might please the NBC liberals on the air but it is a concern to the business managers and bean counters who sold the NBC network to cable giant Comcast, a sale still pending.

MSNBC ratings have been stagnate at best as their hero Obama has collapsed in the polls. Fox News under Roger Ailes continues to dominate all the MSNC programming in all time slots in Nielsen ratings.

If you were buying NBC would you want a flagship for the left wing like MSNBC that is losing ratings or a cash cow like Fox that caters to the middle and right leaning public? Television ratings are all about money pure and simple.

With 81% of Republicans and 54% of Independents opposed to Obama policies, and the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign money to Obama and the Democrats drying up because Obama has double-crossed his Wall Street contributors, along with double crossing labor, teachers unions, Black organizations, Hispanic organizations and even liberal and environmental groups, it's no wonder his favorable rating is suffering a free fall.



Don't be fooled as MSNBC continues to drift toward the center-right, they are really the mantle bearer for left wing policy and no matter how hard they try to mask it, Obama is their candidate and represents their agenda. No one on MSNBC speaks for the center-right including closet conservative Joe Scarborough who takes great liberty telling us what Republicans and conservatives think while being clueless about what Main Street America thinks.

This election and the next in 2012 are not about Republicans or Democrats, they are about Independents and fiscal conservatives. They are driving the move to the center, driving the effort to stop budget deficits, and driving the move to reduce the deficit. We are on a runaway train into oblivion if we cannot control the largest deficit spending in our history put forward by Obama and the Democrat majority. The people, not the parties are fixing the mess. It is a lesson still ignored by the media and politicians in Washington.

White House Takes MSNBC to Woodshed - NBC Now Sings a Different Tune

.


Yesterday, after days of withering criticism from the liberal media led by the Morning Joe Show on MSNBC, the White House had the NBC gang over for a talk. Today MSNBC with NBC anchor Brian Williams as a guest on Morning Joe were singing the praises of Obama and his handling of all the major crises facing him.



Gone were the MSNBC reports on how the Obama Administration was responsible for issuing permits to BP for drilling and for approving all the change requests from BP. Yesterday this lack of oversight by a federal agency under an official appointed by Obama was a major story and the head of the agency had been forced out by Obama.



Now if the Interior Department failed to enforce the regulations or approved changes requested by BP that led to the environmental disaster then who is at fault, the oil company following the regulations or the regulators approving the permits and changes? Certainly both could be at fault.



However, the woodshed treatment by the White House has the entire NBC network singing a different song and telling a different story. Is this censoring the news? What exactly did the White House tell NBC that got them to change the story.

Ironically it was not just the oil mess that got the new kid gloves treatment by NBC. I mean why in the world did the news anchor of NBC News have to go on the Morning Joe show and demonstrate how easily the news media can be manipulated by the Obama gang?



Apparently the Obama boys could not put up with criticism from the left like MSNBC. Additional stories on the Morning Joe program about the Joe Sestak campaign promise of a job, the trouble in Israel, and the leadership, or lack thereof, by the president, all took a different slant after the scolding in the woodshed.



Anchors of two MSNBC opinion shows were also brought in to sing the praises of the president although Chris Matthews did not collapse and kiss the White House ring like Ed Schultz did. Of course hosts Mika Brezeinski and Joe Scarborough did a 180 degree turn and made all kinds of excuses for Obama when it came to his leadership.



Once upon a time Ed Rendell, Governor of Pennsylvania called MSNBC the Obama Television Network. He wasn't kidding. But as the country moved to the center the network seemed to have realized a far left liberal position was destroying their ratings and they moved to the center. Now, after the whupping in the woodshed, they seem to have returned to the president's back pocket.



Such a dramatic reversal by one of the major networks shows little backbone on the part of the network, and a bold and outrageous act by the White House to control the media. It also proves that there is really no fair and balanced coverage by the news media.

As for the new story line at MSNBC, BP is the criminal, they already tried and judged them. As for the Sestak story, MSNBC now says the Admiral is nuts in saying the White House made him an offer. As for the lack of Obama leadership, MSNBC now says he is misunderstood, that he has really been a tiger behind closed doors and that the public doesn't understand him.



It only took one trip to the woodshed to get NBC singing a different tune. Even so called conservative Joe Scarborough has been left exposed as just another presidential mouthpiece. Poor Joe has to work so hard to prove to his liberal colleagues that the Republicans hate him just as much as the Democrats that he has clearly lost his ideological compass.

MSNBC remains firmly planted in last place on the cable news shows and actions like today demonstrate why? The future stock value of GE who owns NBC for the moment and who benefits greatly from the actions of Obama and the Democrats in Congress must be more valuable to MSNBC than the truth.

Obama - You Can't Do That! Don't lie to the Pope!

-




Chris Matthews, MSNBC liberal anchor and Obama supporter said it best when summarizing Obama's recent visit with Pope Benedict XVI, a visit that was quietly hushed up by the liberal media of America.

Matthews said Obama cannot go to the Vatican and promise the Pope he will work to reduce abortions in America at the same time he is pushing through Congress, as a top national priority, a Health Care bill which provides federal funding for abortions that will increase abortions by up to 420,000 a year, an increase of up to 35%.

In Congressional Committee hearings just 3 days after Obama's visit with the Pope, Senator Barbara Mikulski, our very own Senator from Maryland, was forced to admit under questioning by Senator Orin Hatch that the new Health Care bill does indeed fund abortions, a bill she and the White House support.

In 2006, the most recent year statistics on abortion are available, there were 1,206,200 legal abortions in America. Planned Parenthood's Guttmacher Institute estimates government funding of abortion increases the number of abortions by 20 to 35 percent. That means we can expect between 220,000 and 420,000 more abortions to result.





Sometime in the past year the total of legal abortions performed in America passed 50 million, a number equal to about 14% of our total population. While the media and pro-abortion people claim the number consists mostly of three types of cases, rape, the threat of death to the mother, or the extensive physical handicaps of the fetus, numerous studies have failed to document the claim. In fact these studies show that the three reasons cited account for less than 5% of all abortions, meaning 95% had no reason to happen other than convenience.





Worldwide there have now been over one billion abortions and there are 50 million in the world every year. There is simply no evidence that anything the government does will reduce the number of abortions or stop the abortions of convenience from being performed but substantial evidence government action will increase the number of abortions.





Even Chris Matthew of MSNBC said on Hardball, his program, that Obama "can't do that,", promise the Pope he will work to reduce abortions at the same time his bill subsidizes abortion. Matthews is one of the many Obama supporters who are Catholic but disagree with the Vatican position on abortion. This circle of supporters also includes Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Biden.




One wonders if the agenda of the Obama gang is to build bridges with groups like the Catholics or drive a wedge between the leaders and members of the Catholic faith. Often in politics the best strategy is to neutralize an opponent if you cannot convert them. With only 54% of Catholics voting for Obama, one of the lowest Democratic totals in history, there is just cause for concern.

Palin Stops Obama's Bridge to Nowhere

Chris Matthews & Keith Olbermann - Liberal Dobermans Protecting the Left

The NBC team of Dobermans self-appointed to protect the liberal left, Matthews and Olbermann from MSNBC, continue as stalking horses for the Obama campaign even after their network banned them from future campaign coverage because of their radical views.

Today, incensed by the Sarah Palin ability to power McCain into the lead, they have resorted to lies, innuendo and distortions on their cable programs to rally the socialists to the cause. Unable to find any facts to support their character assassination of Sarah Palin, they are trying to raise issues intended to upset the voters.

Under the guise of "character" they claim Palin lied regarding her views on the infamous "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska, as if a non-existence bridge is the final determinant in a persons career in public service.

According to the leftist propagandists Palin supported the pork barrel bridge project before she became governor and then opposed it after she became governor. Curiously Obama used the exact words the very same day to attack Palin.

Of course Palin never did support the $400 million bridge project to a very small island but did support a "link" to the island. The pork barrel advocates translated a link into a $400 million boondoggle when all Sarah Palin wanted was a ferry service to link the island to the mainland. Once she was made aware what they did she fought the wasteful project.

Two gross distortions from the liberal left including Obama. Palin never supported a $400 million bridge and the governor of any state does not create pork barrel projects. Only the US Congress, the House and the Senate, can create such projects.

So just who created the $400 million boondoggle? A senator from Alaska and it was approved by the US Senate. And who actually voted for the project, Senator Barack Obama, not Governor Sarah Palin. It was part of nearly $1 billion in pork barrel projects approved by the free spending liberal Barack Obama in Congress. Did I mention Congress is controlled by the Democrats?

The only question left in this campaign is who will win the hearts and minds of the American voters? Will it be the mud slingers from NBC and the leftist elite or the gun slinger from the Alaska backwoods?

MSNBC Keith Olbermann Meltdown

One of the more interesting sideshows of the DNC and RNC Conventions has been the on air meltdown of MSNBC Anchor Keith Olbermann. Olberman is a reporter so caught up in the socialist platform that he wants the network to be known as the Obama network, he wants all Republicans banned from the network, and well, NBC better have a room reserved for him at the psycho ward because that will be the next stop on his notorious career.

MSNBC, the 24 hour a day flagship of NBC is rapidly distinguishing itself not for quality reporting but for rampant infighting, over-inflated egos and a new socialist agenda. The people know it as the network that has watched their Nielsen ratings disintegrate in just two weeks. Expecting to lead political coverage of the conventions, it took just two days for the floor to drop out from MSNBC as they finished dead last in convention ratings.

The on air meltdown was led by MSNBC host Keith Olbermann with more than a little help from analyst Chris Matthews. Olbermann and his open warfare tried to stop Republicans from being part of his news show and part of the panel of analysts, and even tried to stop Tom Brokaw, the last ray of objective hope for NBC network from appearing.

Olbermann complained constantly about his lack of security protection in Denver as if anyone had threatened the big mouth. When he got to St. Paul things deteriorated. His paranoia reached a peak when the first day of the convention was cancelled because of the hurricane in Louisiana and Keith fled back to NYC. He then refused to return to the convention saying he would stay in New York and cover hurricane Hanna which never hit NYC.

So there he was, hosting St. Paul convention coverage from NYC, presiding over the greatest collapse in ratings from week to week possibly in history. His ceaseless rantings about the Republicans and raging about Sarah Palin never let up and when he told his national audience that the film honoring the 9-11 victims at the GOP convention was in such poor taste that he had to apologize to the world that his network even allowed it to air, well that about did it.

Now that Sarah has powered the GOP into the lead Olbermann must be in a straight jacket and today NBC finally stopped trying to cover up for the idiot and announced Olbermann and Matthews would no longer be part of network political coverage during the 2008 election.

Good thing too as the network was in danger of being known as the Obama Network and slipping from liberal to socialist to NBC, the National Bureau of Communism? This is exactly what is meant by the elitist liberal media.

Whew!
