David Gregory's Slobbering Obama Interview

Townhall  "Might Gregory have asked Obama how he can continue to put an unrealistically positive spin on such persistently dismal numbers? If this were a Republican president, do you think Gregory wouldn't have pointed out that the only reason these numbers appear to be slightly improving is that more people have actually given up looking for work altogether?"
....
"Obama said, "I negotiated with Speaker Boehner in good faith and moved more than halfway in order to achieve a grand bargain."

"What if Gregory had pressed Obama: "Mr. President, how do you define 'halfway'? Isn't it true that you've repeatedly rejected Boehner's offers as DOA and that he's been bidding against himself and infuriating congressional conservatives? What movement have you made, and how reasonable is it for you to be sabotaging the entire negotiating process with divisive class warfare rhetoric by obsessing on 'fairness' instead of addressing the issues that really matter -- the deficit and debt? But since you keep talking about fairness, is it fair that the bottom half of income earners pay no income tax at all and that the top 10 percent pay an extraordinarily disproportionate amount? How can you possibly say they're not paying their fair share?" "  David Limbaugh. You

A David Gregory/ Obama fan tweeted:
great interview! I thought Potus made it clear he had the Rs in a corner and either way he expected to come out the winner.
David Gregory’s Obama Interview: Where Was The Passion He Displayed Questioning NRA?
"CNN’s Howard Kurtz noticed a marked difference in the Meet the Press host’s approach compared to last week, when he interviewed NRA head Wayne LaPierre."

Gregory certainly tried to impress his liberal friends by bullying President Bush
"RUSH: Let's go to the president's press conference. The first question I want to play for you is from David Gregory, who I have a new nickname for: Brave Dave. Here is the question from David Gregory. It's about Iraq, that happened mere moments ago at a Rose Garden press conference. "GREGORY: Mr. President, after the -- mistakes that have been made in this war, when you do as you did yesterday, when you raised two-year-old intelligence talking about the threat posed by Al-Qaeda, it's met with increasing skepticism. The majority in the public, growing number of Republicans appear not to trust you any longer to be able to carry out this policy successfully. Can you explain why you believe you're still a credible messenger on the war?"

And how's this for disrespect and, well, Gregory showing off for his friends on the left?

 

Al Gore, friend of the petro-state


National Post (Canada)  "To whom did the Lord of the Upper Atmosphere sell? Why to al Jazeera — which is to say, effectively to the ruler of Qatar, a wealthy country that has nothing else to sustain it but the sale of its huge petroleum resources.
"Qatar is about oil, oil and more oil. It is a global warmer’s hell."
....
"One other, not-to-be-missed note: Mr. Gore was very quick to make sure the sale took place before the New Year — the better to spare him, who is now one of the world’s superrich, his friend Barack Obama’s tax hike on those dreadful one-percenters".

Even academia's favorite source - Pravda - says GW is bunk. Uh oh...they were wrong about socialism for seven decades. Let's hope they have this one right for a change.
 

Speaking of Al Gore, have you heard that eco-friendly bulbs could cause skin cancer ?


 

White House weighs broad gun-control agenda in wake of Newtown shootings

WaPo;  "The White House is weighing a far broader and more comprehensive approach to curbing the nation’s gun violence than simply reinstating an expired ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, according to multiple people involved in the administration’s discussions.
A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said.
"To sell such changes, the White House is developing strategies to work around the National Rifle Association that one source said could include rallying support from Wal-Mart and other gun retailers for measures that would benefit their businesses. White House aides have also been in regular contact with advisers to New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I), an outspoken gun-control advocate who could emerge as a powerful surrogate for the Obama administration’s agenda".
And this would have prevented the last few massacres how? I'm sorry, I do wish something like this would end the mass murders, but I'm afraid this cartoon realistically depicts the end result:
 
From March, 2011; The Real Crime in Gun Control   "It has happened before in our beloved nation, but then again, how can we do anything as they take the guns away from the citizenry – whether by fees or ersatz psycho testimonies. And they still cannot control the hardware or behavior that allows the criminal elements of our nation to run amuck…killing and stealing at will."
