Obama, the Associated Press and Yahoo: Dishonest Political Hacks (Boycott Yahoo)

Yes, the phrase "dishonest political hacks" in the title refers to the "Ant-American, Despicable Associated Press" (complete,.official name) and the equally despicable Yahoo--not to Obama (even though it may also be applicable to Obama). "Obama Opens His Campaign, No Longer as an Outsider." The above is the headline tonight from an AP story featured (as usual for the worst AP stories) on my Yahoo "News" default page provided by U-Verse. The headline is an Orwwellian Big Lie, and represents the Big Lie upon which the entire Obama Presidency has been gased. "Hold on, Skipp, how can that headline be a lie. Doesn't Obama know when his campaign starts". Yes, bison breath (Jonnny Carson/Karnak reference), but that is NOT the Big Lie. The Big Lie is the asserton that Obama was EVER an "outsider", and the companion asserton (by Obama himself, and the entire mainstream media) that Obama "inherited" the mess made by others in Washington. Let us rehash VERY RECENT history, as the dishonest people of the AP refuse to do it. Barack Obama was elected to the United States Senate in 2004, as a political INSIDER from Illinois, after making the KEYNOTE speech at the 2004 Democratic Party convention. Few people, other than John McCain, have ever been more of a political "insider". Okay, Hillary Clinton might also qualify, but Obama had MORE "insider" connections in the Democratic Party for a LONGER period of time--so long as yhou do not count Hillary Clinton's SPOUSE. It gets worse. Obama "inherited" the mess? HOGWASH. He was PART of the Democrfatic MAJORITY in Congress that CREATED the mess (much MORE of a "governing" majority, with much more of a cooperative President, than the present Republican majority in the House). No, I am not defending Bush, who I disowned over domestic policy in 2006. But this is still absolutely true. DEMOCRATS took control of BOTH houses of Congress in the elections of 2006 (effective in January of 2007). That majority INCLUDED Barack Obama, and there is absolutely NO indication that Obama had any real disagreement with the policies of either the Democratic majority OR President Bush--on domestic policy--from 2006 to 2008. You will notice that is the time that the economy COLLAPSED. Obama was PART of the FAILED government that led to that collapse. In other wods (as I repeatedly say--correctly--about Fox News), Obama was part of the PROBLEM, and not part of the solution. Bailouts? Obama supported them ALL, over Republican OPPOSITION (Obama now being in the midst of Bush's Third Term, even on foreign policy--except for lthe Obama cowardice and wimpiness). DMOCRATS in Cngress contgrolled domestic policy from Jauary of 2007 to the electioins of 2008. Spending? DEMOCRATS controlled that, with little opposition from Repubicans. But what opposition there was came from Repubicans, as Democrats (including Obama) wanted to spend MORE. The only ting you can say about Obama is that he REFUSED to lead, lest he actually be responsible for something. Yes, he essentially voted "present", while making his plans to run for President. It is simply abusrd to suggest that Obama "inherited" the results of Republican rule. After 2006, it was DEMOCRATIC "rule", and Obama was PART of that INSIDER group that brought this country to ruin. Yes, the last truly REPUBICN deficit (as deistinguished from Bush deficit) was "only" 170 billiion dollars. It is not only that the present Obama deficit is 1.65 TRILLION dollars or so, and that we had a bigger deficit for Febrary alone that was larter (225 billion or so) than the ENTIRE Repubican deficit for all of 2007. The higher spending of the final Bush years was totally in the control of DEMOCRATS. Sure, Bush could have done some things to stop it, but Bush and Obama AGREED on alomst all domestic issues. It was House REPUBICANS who alomst defeated TARP. No, I don't care that McCain also agreed with Obama on almost everything. Why do you think that McCain LOST? I did not vote for him for this reason. The true Repubicans in the HOUSE were the only ones to stand up to the Obama/McCain/Bush axis (also including the other Democrats in Congress). Can you agree with John McCain and George W. Bush on alomst all domestic issues and call yourself an "outsider"? Only in the fantasy world of Obama and the dishonest AP (and Yahoo--BOYCOTT YAHOO). Yes, this is one of my pet peeves. This idea of Obama as an "outsider" is one of the biggest lies ever sold to the American people. EVERY Republican, in 2008, except for leftist John McCain, was MORE of an "outsider" than Barack Obama. You just can't call yourself a "journalist" and perpetuate George Orwell-style Big Lies lilke this. But I don't think the mainstream media, and especaially the desp;icable AP, call themselves "journalists". In their hearts (if they had them), these people are lying POLITICAL HACKS. Yes, I know that Yahoo does ot generate these stories. But Yahoo RELIES totally on the WORST of left wing media--especially the despicable AP. I give Yahoo no pass on this. BOYCOTT YAHOO. P.S. No proofreading or spell checking, as usual (eyesight).
