President Obama is doing it again..

Knocking it out of the park!

He's at Northwestern University talking to students and supporters,

giving an overview of all his administration has accomplished so far.

Although I don't agree with him on everything -- His support for the TPP,

for instance -- He is SO impressive -- SO smart, SO poised, so "Presidential"

I will ALWAYS be proud to have voted for this man...Anyone who can not

see why he won two terms is a flaming idiot.

Then every single broadcast entity cut away. MSNBC included.

Mainstream media holds this president in low regard and conveys that sentiment to viewers/listeners. Yet they couldn't get enough of W. It is to gag.

I wanted to hear the whole speech. We know that PO usually closes these speeches very strongly. I was also hoping that he would make a plea to GOTV to give him the Senate & the House in November - so we can make even a stronger economic recovery by allowing him to do the things that the Repubs have been obstructing.

We'll never hear that - if he did make that plea. It's almost like the MSM don't want to give him a chance to ask people to GOTV.

I quickly used my remote to see if this speech was on any of the CSPAN channels - and CSPAN was not covering it either.

Why won't the media let us listen to our President?

and the rich don't want us to hear what the President has to say because they know he will say things they don't like

dumbest post of the day. There have been a few but I'd put money on this one going into the semi's.

Did he switch parties before or after he faked his Birth Certificate?

Otherwise you'd know I'm no "cheerleader" for him.

I'm an old baby boomer, and I swear people are getting dumber all the time.

Perhaps I'm just "chauvinistic" for my own age group, but I'll be damned if

I saw the level of "dumb" then that I do now...Of course, "the dumb" is being helped

along by institutions like Fox News and such...When I was growing up, we only

had 3 channels plus PBS. We also had something called "The Fairness Doctrine"

which disallowed anything like FAUX, or MSNBC, for that matter. i
