White House warned Democratic strategist: No Fox

Full story: www.chicagotribune.com

At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration. ... Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chairman, said in an interview: "This approach is out of sync with my conception of what the Obama administration stands for and what they're trying to do. I think they'll think better of it and this will be a passing phase.''

This is a distraction from what is truly important:

Health care reform will pass the House of Representatives in about an hour.

I predict they'll talk about it on Fox News. LOL!!!

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. At least not while FOX is broadcasting. Any president who tries to silence a news organization is truely parinoid, or a Stalinist. I think Obama is both.

Gee, isn't anyone concerned about such tactics? Have to keep "others" in line-might as well do it with threats.

They cannot silence Fox News. Fox will have them for Breakfast. They will spend 24 hours a day checking out stupid things the Democrats say, and do, and report it all over the country. They are nuts to attack a news outlet. Don Fowler is one of the few Democrats you can trust, and respect. Democrats were different under Fowler. They didn't lie all the time, and they had values, and standards. Not like the Community Organizer, and the ACORN people. Even today if Don Fowler says something you can bank on it.

It has passed the House.

With 59 votes in the Senate, I like the odds. But that is another day's celebration.

God bless the United States of America!

YES!!! CONGRADULATIONS America…
The House of Representatives just passed Health Care Reform.

We came out in record numbers last November to see the kind of great results that we have seen by President Obama and the Democratic Congress. Wow, who would have thought back in August with all the lies and confusion from the unpatriotic right-wingers that President Obama would have been hand such a huge victory tonight?

I am so happy right now for my political Party, my President and my country. God has blessed America with the Presidency of Barack Obama.

Out of 317 million Americans about 3 million watch Fox News. It's the largest audience in a category most people don't seem to bother with. But you have to celebrate a win wherever you can find one.

Me, I'm enjoying 220 votes in the House of Representatives to pass health care reform. I'll give you your Fox News.

Fox News. Compliments of 'ol PooPoo! LOL!!!

Fox is threatened because they broadcast truth as well as giving time for different views. I wonder what Obama told the House Democrats when he called each in behind closed doors and before the vote.

He told them to NOT worry about getting votes at election time , ACORN has it all in the bag!
He told them it would NOT matter how the public hates this NOR would it matter what the voters say.... ACORN WILL GET THEM ENOUGH VOTES TO GET RE - ELECTED!
HE SAID HE WAS LIVING PROOF OF IT!!!

Obama is schizoid. It's hilarious to see how thin-skinned he is. What a whiney ass baby he is!

No fear. The chances of it passing through the senate are slim. By then, the conservatives will have had time to actually get excerpts of the bill to the public. The 1.2 trillion will really sink in at Christmas time with people out of jobs too. Most democrats I know here in Southern California are against the public option. It's a pipe dream. It's truly a win-win situation for the republicans. The democrats that voted for the bill will most probably lose their seats next year. Rahm Emanuel has already mentioned that old people will not be a priority in health care reform. Obama forgets that seniors are a huge voting base in any political campaign.

There are 81 more Dems than Reps in the HoR and the bill passes by 5? LOL. Even you Ricky Retardo liberals can do the math.

Obama is just stating what everybody should know. If you work for the Administration Fox is going to try to set you up so don't give them anything to work with. Screw Fox. They are the biggest liars there are. They are promoting the conservative agenda so why should Obama have to cooperate with them? I hope Obama keep right on telling Fox to kiss his butt.

That is what they are already doing and have been doing for a long time. If they can't find somnething on a Democrat they just make something up.

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Sagittarius

Watch out. Your mind is working overtime in full analytical mode, but you may be leaping to unfounded conclusions and reading too much into situations. The result of all this is that you might start to suspect someone's honesty or loyalty, and wonder what exactly they're up to. Don't accuse them of anything awful just yet because it may turn out that you were totally wrong about them.
