Obama Head-Fakes to the Center, Jukes a Handful of Especially Slow-Witted Leftwing Miscreants Out of Their Sneakers

Did Politico even bother letting these guys in on the joke that Obama is "moving to the center"?

Apparently not.

It's all part of the MSM's grand plan though. Articles like this are key if Obama is going to keep up the ruse that he is suddenly the most altruistic, non-partisan centrist since [INSERT NAME OF SOME MEMORABLE 'CENTRIST' POLITICIAN HERE].

President Barack Obama plans to play up a bright future with congressional Republicans by channeling his 2008 campaign message of post-partisanship in his State of the Union address — but the liberal wing of his party isn’t quite seeing the light.

As the president touts spending austerity, deficit reduction and extension of the Bush-era tax cuts, some Democrats worry Obama will pivot too hard away from the party’s core principles and concede too much to the new House GOP majority that campaigned on destroying his agenda.

Now mind you, since Obama took office he has spent money hand over fist and up the wazoo, exploded the deficit beyond recognition, and vowed to campaign against the Bush-era tax cuts in 2012 - the same cuts he's allegedly "touting" now. And yet Anthony Weiner, Bernie Sanders, and Dennis Kucinich can't even tolerate lip service to such common sense notions of spending within a budget, reining in the deficit, and maintaining the status freakin' quo on income tax rates.

And they wonder why their party got slaughtered last November.

MSM: Hot Damn, That Lame-Duck Session Was Productive!

Open wide, everybody - the lame-stream media has a preposterously euphemistic but totally objective narrative to spoon-feed to us.

You see, the Democrats of the 111th Congress - fresh off an unmitigated rejection at the hands of fed-up voters last month - nevertheless attempted to pass a plethora of pent-up left-wing legislation in the traditionally uneventful lame-duck session.

And with large majorities lingering in both Houses and a President who would eagerly sign a literal pile of garbage if Harry Reid dropped one on his desk, amazingly enough they managed to pass a lot of it.

Will wonders never cease?

New Investigative Journalism Technique: Wait for the MSM to Butt-Call You In the Middle of Their Bull Session, Save the Voicemail

Corrupt bastards.

It appears the CBS News reporters in Alaska did not get the memo.



UPDATE: Not a butt-call, technically. Just a media arse who called the Joe Miller campaign, left a message and then forgot to hang up.

Sound familiar?

Uncle Jay Explains

Uncle Jay puts out these videos every week, and does a good job at put a humorous spin on the news of the week before. This time however he explains how it is that the media manages to do such a bang up job of reporting the news.



Make sure you always assess the news.

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness

That is what Michael Yon must feel like. He has offered the most up to date and precise reporting of what is going on in Iraq, all on his own dime. He is writing the stories that outside of the web you have never heard of. He has quite often been compared to Ernie Pyle, and indeed he is today's reincarnation of Ernie. Now Michael is making an offer to other media outlets. Please publish his works and reports, FREE.
While he is offering his stories for free the cost of gathering those stories is not. He needs help financially and lots of it. Without it the sole voice of the reality on the ground in Iraq may go silent. We can't let this happen. Here is a link to his PayPal page.
For those not aware of who Michael Yon is here is his page at Wikipedia

This is from Michaels latest post

But it wasn’t until I spent that week back in the States that I realized how bad things have gotten. I believe we are witnessing a conspiracy of coincidences conflating to exert an incomprehensibly destructive force on the free press system that we largely take for granted. The fact that the week in question also happened to be when General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker were delivering their reports to Congress makes me wonder if things are actually worse than I’ve assessed, and I returned to Iraq sadly convinced that General Petraeus now has to deal from a deck clearly stacked against him in both America and Iraq.

In a day and age when true heroes like Lt Michael Murphy, LCpl Jason Dunham, and SFC Paul Smith, all Medal of Honor recipient's, go ignored in favor of coverage of Brittany, OJ, and the latest missing teen coed of the day you are depraving yourself of the compelling story of Iraq if you don't become familiar with Mr Yon's writings.
