he current occupant of White House has been in office for 6 years. He could not have achieved this without the refusal of the media to affirmatively vet his past, and then, the media’s abandonment of all objectivity to actively support and protect Obama from all forms of criticism.

In first averting, and then betraying, their indelegable public duty to hold government accountable for its actions, the media has betrayed the free republic that tolerates its existence in the first place. With their betrayal of first the public trust, and then the Republic’s trust, the media has literally, and finally, cut its own throat. Only 40% of Americans get their information from the "Big 3" networks and newspapers. Everyone else has turned to multiple, alternate sources such as FOX News, Drudge Report, and blogs like American Thinker that can offer them more points of view.

In 2008, Barack Hussein Obama was an unknown. The fact that he remains so to this day to a large segment of the country, despite the every-growing laundry list of constitutional violations, excesses of power, and usurpation of Congressional authority that continue each and every day in his corrupt administration, is inexcusable. Given the damage already done to this country’s citizens, its infrastructure, its relationships with friends and enemies alike, and the decline in its power and prestige around the world, such continued blind support in the face of domestic and international realities is intolerable, and the American people are finally taking notice.

Obamacare, the IRS scandal, Benghazi, the Border and Immigration, the lavish vacations, his MIA status whenever any crisis breaks -- take your pick of these and more. They are all solely of Obama's own making and cannot be successfully blamed on anyone else.




Even the most ardent of independents are starting to realize they’ve been lied to, and one thing Americans hate is being lied to -- especially by someone they supported. The naïve but enthusiastic youth voters who supported the idea of Obama have come crashing back to earth, many no longer able to find either a job or affordable health insurance, or start up a family of their own. Young blacks have been hit harder than any other group as far as being unable to find work of any kind. These voters know they have been betrayed.

Even members of his own party are now starting to question his actions and his motives. Only the most radical and stalwart socialist-leftists like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid choose to ignore all the signs and facts around them. When your own party of locksteppers starts to question your utter lack of leadership and constant fundraising in the face of crisis, your outlook is very bleak indeed. Yet the media remains largely silent, taking the position that if they cannot say anything nice about Obama, they simply won’t report anything negative. International events are starting to outpace them. The dam has burst and the media stands on a soapbox proclaiming “All is well” while the floodwaters race through the town, destroying everything.
