It Pisses Me Off When Folk In The Media Say That Obama Is Really A Lucky Guy........

as if the positive movement in the economy since he took charge was all a matter of luck. He made decisions and put people and programs in place to help this economy recover. That is not luck that is being a good leader and making the hard decisions to bring about change.

It is not about Obama being in the right place at the right time. Heaven's no - look what he walked into when he took office.

With the hard work by him and his administration - we are finally crawling out of the hole left by Bush and the Repugs - and we're doing that with essentially no help from the Repugs. That is not luck - that is skill.

The attitude of our corrupt media is no surprise in that they undercut Obama and the Democrats every chance they get. Were it not for the stench in the media who carry water for the GOP the GOP would be toast. They have propped up all the GOP policies for years. Trickle down would have been dead before it was born if the media had been doing the job it was supposed to do.

All the Sunday shows put GOPPERS on 2 to 1 and only beat up on Democrats while throwing nerf balls to Republicans and their allies. The GOP owned media and billionaires are what keep the Republican party in business.

If I had the power I would shut down FOX permanently immediately to start with.

He has delt with the worst economy since Roosevelt and now that it is finally starting to turn around, they sure as hell have orders not to give him credit.
