[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1044183, member: 9789"] OMG! You used the "T" word. Oh! That's because it was in quotes coming from right wingers!! There are those who feel the president can do no wrong and will elevate him to an untouchable level. Nixon was a president who thought he was untouchable but he had a press corp he was at war with. They did not let him or his White House staff get away with that. They helped create a set of checks and balance. [B]BO has free "reign" over the press.[/B] The press is the main reason his people can & will say anything to get him elected. It is also the reason that spinning the Libya terrorist act into outrage of a video was so telling. BOs White House think they can get away with anything if they spin it hard enough.[B] Blaming the video is a perfect example of that and foreshadows the next 4 years. [/B] The press no longer acts as a fact checker. [B]This is a very dangerous imbalance of power. [/B]His followers are under a hypnotic spell. He can do no wrong. They will drink the kool-aid even if it destroys themselves and takes America along with it.
