The NBC Peacock Must be so Proud … Al Sharpton, Great Moments in Journalism … He Said What?

File this one under … Great moments in NBC journalism …

Talk about must see Video and great moments in journalism all wrapped up into one. MSNBC has really outdone itself by adding the orator Al Sharpton to its stable of media giants. ARE YOU SERIOUS? What did he just say, was he reading from a teleprompter or was he having a seizure?  What on earth did Sharpton even say? I doubt whether even he knows.

How proud NBC must be of what they have been reduced to these days. Brinkley, Huntley, Chancellor and Mudd could not be reached for comment. Obviously, Barack Obama needs to teach Al the finer points of reading a teleprompter. Of course that may not even do the trick. Is this what NBC has come to? How can a news organization with such former giants as Huntley & Brinkley and Russert be reduced to this?

Obama Said There Would Be No Media & No Photos from Dover … Obama Lied … Uses Dead Seal Heroes for Political Photo Op

Commander in Chief, eh … Barack Obama, you are a pathetic, small, small man. You should be ashamed; however, one would have to have shame, in order to be ashamed.

HOW LOW AND DISGRACEFUL CAN THIS PRESIDENT GET? AFTER PROMISING THERE WOULD BE NO MEDIA AND PHOTOS TAKEN AT DOVER AIR FORCE BASE WHEN THE DECEASED HEROES RETURNED HOME … OBAMA LIES AND USES MOMENT FOR POLITICAL PHOTO OP.

Once again the Obama White House uses the theory, always take advantage of a crisis, even when President Barack Obama said there would be no pics or lasting images of the US military heroes return from the helicopter crash that killed 31 in Afghanistan. Obama said there would be no pictures, but the “small” leader just could not stop himself … they posted the pic on the White House web site as the “photo of the day”.

From the AP comes the following regarding Obama’s lie to the families of US military heroes. It would appear the AP is non too happy with Barack Obama. Neither are the families of the deceased military heroes.

A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of 30 American troops killed in a weekend helicopter crash in Afghanistan despite the Pentagon’s claim that any public depiction of the scene would violate the wishes of bereaved families.

News media coverage of the ceremony had been banned by the Pentagon over the objections of several news organizations.

Pentagon officials had said that because 19 of 30 of the American families of the dead had objected to media coverage of the remains coming off a plane at Dover Air Force Base, no images could be taken. In addition, the Pentagon rejected media requests to take photos that showed officials at the ceremony but did not depict caskets.

The head of public affairs at the Pentagon stated that the department did not know the White House photographer was present and had no idea a photo of the event was being released until it became public. UNREAL. Even more unreal, Obama and the WH actually had the audacity to defend what they did.

“The White House routinely releases photos taken by the White House photographers in specific circumstances where it would be inappropriate to include members of the media,” Carney said. “In this case, the White House released the photo, in the interests of transparency, so that the American people could have as much insight as possible into this historic and sobering event.”

Is it any wonder why Democrats try and prevent absentee ballots from the military to not be counted? What a Commander in Chief, using dead American heroes for his political gain to make the misleader look Presidential. You never looked more un-Presidential, Barack Obama.

Jay Carney Defends Obama’s Vacation, Obama’s Trip to Martha’s Vineyard isn’t a Vacation

When is a vacation to Marth’s Vineyard  not a vacation … When you are Barack Obama of course. The excuses for the out of touch president continues.

As the American economy burns, the European faltering economies lay in the balance, jobs for Americans are no where to be found and America cannot endure any more debt, Barack Obama decides to take a vacation on the tax payers dime to “life styles of the rich and famous” destination of Martha’s Vineyard.  Doesn’t this speak volumes of Barack Obama. Yesterday, Jake Tapper of ABC News questioned White House mouth piece Jay Carney as to O’s vacation. Of course Carney had an excuse for everything.Carney said,“no such thing as a Presidential vacation”.  Really Jay, that’s not what you said when GWB was in office. As PJ Media states, the internet search engines are so unforgiving and they never forget.

Jake Tapper, ABC News: “You said the President will not rest until the joblessness and the economy are worked out, but the President is obviously going on vacation. But I was wondering, Is there any concern — I understand that it takes two to tango in Washington. We went over that the other day. You need the Congress to be in Washington. We went over that the other day about whether or not you guys should call Congress to come back. Is there any concern about the impression that the President going to Martha’s Vineyard for 9 or 10 days might leave on the American people? And also, if this is such an important issue for Speaker Boehner, for Harry Reid, for President Obama, why the R&R?”

I have to agree with the Lonely Conservative, even though it looks so bad that in a time of such economic peril for Americans and they crave a leader to step forward, Obama opts for a vacation instead. However, at least an Obama on vacation cannot do any more damage. Maybe if he shuts up and stays away from making speeches telling the US and the world that all is well with the economy that the markets will not fall another 400 points in reaction to his feeble words.

Even though the world economy is on fire, unemployment is over 9% and we are on the verge … it does not prevent Obama from the priorities in his life of golfing, vacations and fund raisers.When perception is everything in politics, how does a President just go on vacation as millions and millions of Americans not only cannot go on a vacation, but cannot go to a job either?

I am guessing that we will hear next that it is George W. Bush’s fault that Obama had to go on vacation. America, I beg you … in 2012 let’s all send Obama on a permanent vacation and run him out of office on a rail in a most decisive way.

SEE YOU IN 2012  BARACK … YOU ARE FINISHED!

Stock Markets Drop Another 500+ Points … Thanks for the Hope & Change Barack Obama .. Does Not Deter Another Obama Vacation

THANK YOU BARACK OBAMA …

Good grief, DOW falls another 519 points today. A fantastic follow up to Monday’s fall of 634 points as President Barack Obama went on TV to calm the people and the markets and made matters worse. Lets face it, he has lost all credibility and no one has any confidence in Obama. For the second time in three days the stock markets collapse.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 519, or 4.6 percent, to 10,720. It’s the third time in the last five trading days that the Dow lost more than 500 points. The S&P 500 is down 51 points, or 4.4 percent, to 1,121. The Nasdaq is down 101, or 4.1 percent, to 2,381.

Yet another Thank you Barack, T-notes are being sold at record lows. Now we hear that Moody’s is warning state and local governments could see credit downgrades. Add that to a 9%+ unemployment rate, an 18.0% underemployment rate, a GDP of 1.8% and an economic situation getting worse not better under Obama. So what does Barack Obama do with the utter mess he has created … why go on another vacation of course.

White House press secretary Jay Carney defends President Obama’s upcoming 10 day trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Carney is asked why the President is taking such a vacation when he constantly says he “will not rest” until the jobs issue is resolved. Here is the exchange:
