Obama comments on his coverage on FOX News

I checked out the Times Magazine preview and it really is a “long profile” of Barack Obama.  Obama’s comment listed below is a “choice quote”!

It seems quite something to me that Obama would high light FOX News. Honestly, almost any other network sings his praises 24/7. And, if anyone dares criticize Obama they are all but bullied into silence. Or maybe I need to say threatened.

I doubt Obama’s comments will do much to deter FOX News for reporting as they see fit. Thankfully there is one cable station that does not put out a steady love-fest for Barack Obama!

In my opinion Obama is accurate on at least some descriptions of himself. He is “elite”! He is an “arrogant liberal”.

Working for the Working- Class Vote

By MATT BAI

This article will appear in this Sunday’s Times Magazine.

In Matt Bai’s long profile of Barack Obama in the upcoming New York Times magazine, he squeezes a choice quote out of Obama to get the candidate’s true feelings about Fox News (despite his long-delayed appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s show).

“I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls,” Obama told me. “If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?”
