3. The press hasn't heard about Wisconsin.
Someone should tell the press that stuff is going on there.

4. The media is trying to bury Wisconsin story
They don't want to shed light on the illegal power grab by the GOP.

7. Just the media? Obama could have made a statement.
He doesn't need to wait for a question on the subject.

10. Make a statement and the right wing media OWNs him.
Right now the story is the people of Wisconsin against the GOP and the corporations running them. Obama jumps in it will be about Obama and the GOP and their corporations. The people of Wisconsin will be left out of the message entirely.

When the media is already trying to ignore them, he would just help them do that by injecting himself into the frey.

11. Please stop being so scared of the right-wing media
Edited on Fri Mar-11-11 01:54 PM by Armstead
Don't you get it?

For Faux News and the rest of the GOP message machine it already IS all about Obama and the "union bosses" that he is cahoots with. Thgat will be their message, no matter what he does or doesn't do.

So why not accept that, and actually stand with labor and the working/middle class?

Why cringe under the table for fear of what Sean Hannity might say?

As for the slightly-less-biased MSM, they are also going to spin it however they want. That's all the more reason for Obama and the Democrats to actually lead the narrative and embrace the side they should be on anyway.

15. Some acknowledgement of major protests going on in America
would have seem appropriate, huh? Reminds me of how peace protests are simply ignored in this Country.

17. I also noticed during the press conference, while babbling about the deficit
and mentioning Medicare/Medicaid and "entitlements" Obama never once mentioned the money he is wasting on his wars.

19. Stay Classy MSM and Obama -- They know whats going and they say F--k them
Edited on Sat Mar-12-11 01:37 PM by vroomvroom
it really is amazing! When it was about the smaller tea party protests they couldnt stop nagging obama about it for months every day on every channel.
Now when this bigger uprising happens not a peep not a question...and Obama doesnt even bother to address it. And you know he wouldn't want to either because he hates conflict and will do anything to appease who ever

Just a perfect example of Democrats being for super-rich/big business and the MSM is all for it.
