Love is a many splendored thing – except when the feeling isn’t mutual. Then, love stinks. That’s the position journalists find themselves in as their love for President Barack Obama has been a one-way street.
The rejection is much harsher than screening their calls. Obama has done everything to keep them away except take out a restraining order. The latest examples of mistreatment include actions by both the Defense Department and government agencies in the Gulf clean-up. In both cases, journalists have been restricted in ways that have made scribes scream.
No wonder they call it a “crush.”
The American media fell in love at first sight with Obama when he gave what CBS called his “electrifying” keynote speech before the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Then journalists wooed him throughout the presidential campaign – with election news stories looking like Democratic campaign ads. Now nearly a year-and-a-half into the marriage, they’ve discovered an awful truth about modern love – Obama is the most anti-press president in modern history.
Their love story gone bad is so heart-wrenching that it could be a country song about how he done them wrong. Only it’s not; these are current events.

Red Herring! What Press? The "only" media outlet out there telling us even close to what is really happening is the "Glenn Beck Show" and I wonder just how much longer that he will last? I saw the Chris Matthews Show on Beck's show last night and Chris was salivating over a radical black Marxists(anti-messiah) now in the "New Black Panthers" (i.e., Which look to be the newly formed "SS Troopers" for Obama), similar to what Hitler used to further solidify his power. They appear already to have taken over our government! I'll know for sure during the next election!
HI VICTOR,
I AGREE WITH YOU & ZANZIBAR THAT THE NEW BLACK PANTHERS & THE OBAMA YOUTH GROUPS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN OBAMA SS TROOPERS SIMILAR TO HITLER'S DURING WWII.
What is most terrifying is that this actually is a "terrorist" Marxist takeover of our government, just like Hitler did in "Nazi" Germany! I don't know if you know this, but Germany also is a tribe of Israel, believe it or not! They are the tribe of Gad, while America is of the tribe of Joseph, actually given the name "Israel"(but broke the identifying sign and lost it's identity(Gen.48:16)), not Judah, only given promise of a Messiah, but "not" not name Israel! So, yes! the real "Israel" is the enemy to this world of Lucifer, even if "it" doesn't know it! Watch!
WHEN GOVERNMENT BEGINS TO RESTRICT THE MAIN STREAM NEWS MEDIA FROM REPORTING THE NEWS THEN WE ARE BUT INCHES AWAY FROM BECOMING A COMMUNIST NATION.
THE SPINELESS MAIN STREAM NEWS MEDIA HAS YET TO STAND UP AND CHALLENGE THIS OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ON THEIR BEING RESTRICED IN REPORTING NEWS EVENTS ABOUT THE OIL SPILL IN THE GULF.
The mainstream media networks are all owned by evil globalist elites who are on a roll to destroy the United States of America; yes, even Fox News. I have yet to determine why they are allowing Glenn Beck to continue, but there has to be some ulterior motive that we will learn all too late. If a spineless reporter finally gets a spine, he/she will lose his/her job. These White House Press morons sit quietly by and allow Robert Gibbs to respond to their questions with, "Oh, that's just silly," or "I haven't heard of it," or "I haven't read the memo. Such BS! They all deserve to lose their stupid jobs, just as millions of Americans have lost theirs because of the lies this pack of morons constantly feeds to the public.
Exactly!!! If the Carb Tax passes, the country will be controlled far more than ever. This huge hoax on
us is the ultimate scam, thanx to Al Gore, Bildeberg Group (see Alex Jones End Game and Fall of the
Republic). This will all make sense and put the pieces together. Makes me just want to cry but instead I'm MAD AS HELL that the idiots who voted for O must have been on drugs. THIS MUST STOP
IMMEDIATELY.
Who wants to watch MSNBC,CNN,ABC or CBS , when they produce shows that do not report the true news? They feed us stories on Lindsey Lohan–but fail to inform us of anything that is unflattering, to the present administration. If you want the straight story, watch Fox news, especially Glenn Beck. He tells the truth and has the proof . He has asked the President, or his staff repeatedly , to call him and deny what he is reporting. So far, NO phone calls and no denials. Tonight, Glenn ran film clips of the President, before the vote was passed, stating that abortion would not be covered, and anyone saying it was was lying. Mr Obama, told Representative Stupek, that he would issue an executive order to that effect. He did so, and the Representative and 8 other holdouts who are against Abortion, voted for the bill. Well, Guess what happened today? Two states are going to receive Federal funding for abortions, starting in August 2010. Beck, reported on national TV that the health Care bill, if passed, would hold many unpleasant surprises. He was inundated with people saying he was wrong, and now are finding out how right Glenn Beck was.
A second Tanzanian newspaper named Daima reported in 2006 that Obama was born in Kenya. This is the 2nd such Tanzanian news story of that type to surface this week.

There is more proof then regarding O's birth. (RJ) I agree with all above who watch Glenn Beck. He
is the ONLY source of truth and he verifies it, he isn't speaking out of line. We would be in the dark if
it wasn't for Beck. A true hero to us. I bet Glenn's family is so very proud of him but we can't say
the same for Obama's family can we? His daughters will be so hurt when they eventually learn this truth about their parents. Yes, both of them.
If the Media finds the current low key, informal restrictions/limitations on their activities troublesome, wait till America's First Muslim President takes ownership (as in bail out) of the printing presses and dictates what and how the nation's "journalists" will report. A sad day is on the horizon for the "free press" and a "free people", unless these "professionals" wake up, get off their politically correct butts and go back to work.
