Obama Makes Announcement About Fox News
Throughout his time in office, President Barack Obama has spent more time criticizing Republicans and Fox News than he has trying to defeat America’s enemies.
Obama’s latest attack on the right came during an interview with New York Magazine where Obama talked about where he thinks Republican nominee Donald Trump came from, and what he thinks of the right.
Spoiler alert: He doesn’t like Republicans. (I know, it shocked me too.)
During the interview Obama complained that Republican congressional leaders were more concerned about being held accountable by their constituents than they were with bending to his will — something he also blamed Fox News for.
“But if they think they’re going to lose seats or that they’re going to lose their own seat because the social media has declared that they sold out the Republican Party, then they won’t (compromise),” he explained.
Congressional leaders are supposed to keep the opinions of their constituents in mind. That’s why they were sent to Congress — to represent the people from their respective districts. It appears that Obama missed that particular lesson on American politics.
“What matters is that all his constituencies or her constituencies are watching Fox News and listening to Rush (Limbaugh), and they’re going to pay a price if they’re seen as being too cozy with a Democratic president,” he stated.
Several Republican leaders have indeed paid a price for not standing up to Obama’s agenda, but that has nothing to do with what some talking head said on Fox News.
It has to do with the American people being sick and tired of Congress not doing its job.
It is interesting that Obama would try to associate Fox News with hardliner conservatives when many conservatives have accused Fox News in recent months of not being strong enough when it comes to conservative/Republican issues.
