Was candidate properly vetted by the media ?

[saveliberty]

I'm going to be picky on this one. It is not the media's job to vet candidates. The job of vetting candidates is reserved to the voters.

Did the media present a fair and balanced picture of the candidate? Not really.
Did the public require a vetting of 0bama? Not really.
Big question now is, will the public require this next time?

Of course he wasn't vetted by the media. Their job wasn't to vet him - it was to get him elected. Just as their job today is to keep him elected.

If the media had done any kind of job, Obama would never have been a candidate.

And if the media was doing it's job today, there would be impeachment proceedings right now.

Obama is no different than Bush (either of them), Clinton, Reagan, Carter etc. He is a PR mouthpiece for global finance who own our media and who control our government.

Anyone who believes otherwise is living in the fantasy land created by our media to enable these traitors to maintain their control.

Oh its fun to see the idiots of this country whine. Waaaa

No political candidate has even been under the microscope they way Obama has.

The fact that you recognize corporatism in the Bush Administration but can't see it in the Obama Administration raises serious questions about either your cognitive abilities or your intent.

Maybe I was too subtle, but I see it too clearly. It is more of the same and this piece spells out the frustration on the right side of history = the left side.

Under the microscope? He wasn't even in the lab.

Do you believe that President Obama was properly vetted by the media while running ?
yes or no
If yes
What did candidate Obama mean when he said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. "

 

[Dr Gregg]

Yes. More than enough. MSM is primarily conservative as it is corporate owned and operated. He was more than properly vetted simply by so many appearances, question and answer sessions, and debates - if you can possibly think that was not enough information then you are either stupid or a fool who belongs to the retarded partisans who hate democracy's results.

What he meant was America would go back to being about American values, and not just the plutocracy and corporatism that elected and was supported by Cheney / Bush. Has he fulfilled that statement, no, and if he doesn't we will return once again to the lack of competent governance that brought us to the brink of financial collapse.

Obama has broken almost every major campaign promise that he lied in order to enable the finance controlled media to put their Obama puppet in office. If he has been properly vetted, why hasn't the media called him out on his succession of policy implementations that revela that his campaign promises were a long string of lies?

The fact that you recognize corporatism in the Bush Administration but can't see it in the Obama Administration raises serious questions about either your cognitive abilities or your intent.

Complete and utter lie, but about what to expect from the foaming at the mouth righty hacks on here.

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Obama's Campaign Promises that are Promise Kept
112 promises kept
PolitiFact | The Obameter: Obama's Campaign Promises that are Promise Broken
19 promises broken

Looks like not all, and looks like by far much more kept then broken. A true intelligent and non-partisan hack would know that a politician can't possibly keep all their campaign promises as there needs to be compromise and dealing with the changing times and what is needed at the current situations. Let alone how stupid one has to be to think politicians can keep all promises

Have you run out of fresh trolling ideas and going back into the archives?

How dare you call the President crazy Dante.

Shh, hacks don't want to hear it. those that say he was not properly vetted, I'd love to hear about what problem there is with him now that has just came out. Cause all the muslim, racist, socialist, etc comments were all said about him prior to him being elected.

It's amazing people can actually believe the shit they type, or post it with a straight face

 

[rightwinger]

A bigger question is ...

Do you think a Black Man has a chance of being elected President?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

It's par for the course for the Liberal dominated MSM. When a Republican becomes President they play the Watchdog. As soon as a Democrat is President they revert back to playing the Lapdog. Obviously they didn't vet this current President properly. They were already set to work on getting him elected. Why would they report truth & facts about him? Their propaganda story-line was already set in stone. This President was not qualified to be President. Anyone with common sense knows this.

 

[Coyote]

yes.

What did candidate Obama mean when he said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. "

Like I posted in the other thread, that was rhetoric to his supporters to pump up the troops. He was probably referring to being the first black guy President, or to reversing Bush policies.

Do you think that if he was secretly trying to turn America into a Socialist country that he'd tell everyone about it?

I think he meant that after eight long years we were finally getting rid of Bush/Cheney

DanteNell don't be intellectually bankrupt and trollish, its not like you.....oh wait

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

yes.

What did he mean, in your opinion, when he said "We are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America"?

Holy Jamoli.....we agree. That is EXACTLY what I thought the day I was listening to him say that in the speech.

1.5 years later however I think he actually meant something totally different.....which I posted already "He meant that he was going to fundementally transform the constitutional republic of the united states into a socialist democracy. He has been doing a great job of delivering on this promise."

What a difference Hindsight can make .

Where on earth has he ever tried to establish a socialist democracy?

You watch too much Fox News.......having a healthcare plan does not make us socialist

Where on earth, in the united states of america.

I dont watch the news. I read foreign websites such as al-jazeera, the london telegraph, and the BBC.

I already had a health care plan....what makes "obamacare" or the passed health care legislation socialist in nature is that it attempts to redistribute wealth through taxes and forced purchasing of insurance coverage levels. For example even though I am already insured, under the legislation, my coverage level isn't high enough. This forces me to either distribute more of my money to a private insurance company for increased coverage or distribute more of my money to the federal government in the form of a non-compliance fine.

Cap and trade seeks to do much the same.
