LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Obama's attack on Fox not warranted

It seems like once the Obama administration finally was transparent in something. And that something is its hatred for Fox News.

I listen to Maddow, Olberman, Mitchell, O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity and other personalities on CNN, MSNBC, HLN, FOX. etc. I also spend some time on the computer, reading various blogs from liberals and conservatives. I also try and keep up with world events and historical ramifications of past actions. I am an educated man who is an independent thinker.

Having said all that, I believe we elected a community organizer who is acting accordingly. His thin skin and political immaturity prevents him from being or acting presidential. His rhetoric no longer fools the masses, and a string of lies and broken promises are taking his popularity away slowly but steadily.

Obama's inability to lead the Democratic Party is evident his inability to control key members of his party, Pelosi being the least controllable, and may have pushed herself out of office in the upcoming elections. It seems like "the people" must do what Obama is afraid to.

Fox News has seemed to have taken priority, for now, over heath reform, jobs, the wars, etc. If it has not, then the nation is being fooled by the comments of Anita Dunn, David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel. It is hard to fathom these people doing and saying what they do without instructions from Obama.

Why is Fox News so feared? Could it be their balanced reporting of the news, then letting you decide? It seems like liberals, especially the far-left variety, hate and fear the truth. That would explain Obama's fear of appearing on the Fox Network. But if I remember, he was treated fairly on "The Factor" by Bill O'Reilly. Obama even said it was a tough but fair interview. So the truth may be what is feared.

Change has come, for the worse. Same old politics have been replaced with meaner, dirtier politics, and not telling the truth is justified by calling it politics.
