President Obama, the whiniest president in the history of the United States, labeled Fox News as destructive. I suppose that criticism of a sitting president is equivalent to destructiveness in the eyes of a socialist like Obama. The sad fact is that Obama is far closer to Hugo Chavez in his view on the role of government than he is to Thomas Jefferson. That is an absolute tragedy for America.
Obama's full quote was:
"The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition. It is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it's been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it's that Fox is very successful."
If only the President had such harsh criticism for Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Al Qaida. If only the President was a critical of his own advisers implementing truly destructive policies to American families businesses.
Obama is also frustrated with his base who sees as being apathetic in the upcoming elections. Obama may want to consider that everything he's done has added red tape, costs, uncertainty, and greater burdens to business and individuals. If the economy is to improve Obama must reduce the costs of doing business and engaging in commerce. This can only be done with a smaller government. However, in a transformed America, the new norm may be 10% unemployment to ensure the nanny state infects all aspects of society.
