'Hope and change’ have transformed into hatred and rage
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - Monday, August 6, 2012
The latest headline in the 2012 race is that President Obama hates Mitt Romney. The subtext of the story is that the president is in fact afraid of his challenger.
According to Politico’s Glenn Thrush in his new campaign e-book, “Obama’s Last Stand,” Mr. Obama “began campaign preparations feeling neutral about Romney,” which “made the 2012 grind bearable and at times even fun.” However, he “quickly developed a genuine disdain” for Mr. Romney, which “stoked Obama’s competitive fire, got his head in the game.” Thus, “hope and change” transformed into hatred and rage.
The roots of Mr. Obama’s wrath aren’t ideological. According to another unnamed source, he “didn’t even feel this strongly about conservative, combative House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Hill Republican he disliked the most” because “at least Cantor stood for something.” Put another way, Mr. Obama despises Mr. Romney for having a quality that most Americans say they would like to see in a president: the ability to rise above dogmatism and forge compromises. Mr. Obama has shown himself to be completely unable to exercise that kind of leadership.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

It's a free market. Isn't that what you guys always harp about? Companies work to attract new business. If there are more liberal-leaning publications, perhaps there's a greater audience for them.
Nobody goes into business trying to get fewer customers.

And that's why journalists are trusted only slightly more than congress.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
That is why I have to laugh about how the Dems attack Mitt. They want to cast him as an evil TEA Party type, but I think he will be pretty dogma free. Much more likely to be the bipartisan President that Obama claimed he would be and wasn't.

I think Fox News has a lot to do with that assessment.

Really? So you think all the other mainstream media is doing it's job as the watchdog for the American people...probing into all the corruption in politics? I don't. I think the mainstream media has become an arm of the democratic party.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

Fox has a small audience compared to the rest of the TV media. I'm sure you woulld prefer 100% liberal bias but fortunately there is at least one tv outlet that is willing to reveal liberal cockroaches.
