What a joke.

Earlier this week the New York Times published an editorial in which the author calls President Obama’s 2.0 GDP a “’Slow but Steady Improvement’ and at this pace there’s enough momentum to keep unemployment, currently 7.8 percent, from getting much worse.” We will find out if the unemployment rate goes up or down on Friday when the October job reports comes out. Twenty years before this, the New York Times also published an editorial in which the author calls then President George H.W. Bush 2.7 GDP, greater than Obama’s 2.0 GDP, a “’Gross National Letdown’ and that it almost certainly exaggerates the health of the economy, which continues to creep along at a painfully slow pace.”
Both of these articles were published within a week of each candidate facing the presidential elections. Fox News Channel, Bret Bair, added during his Tuesday night show: “The New York Times seems to be changing with the time when it comes to interpreting the country’s economic outlook.” I think that the New York Times is a very bias newspaper, and has this to run off of that assertion, among many other instances. This is also just another example of how the media doesn’t just report the facts; they all have to add their own propaganda. When Bush had a better GDP rating that Obama, he was criticized and it was reported negatively, I’m not saying that he shouldn’t of been criticized, I am saying that Obama should have had the same criticism and negativity reported when he had a lower GDP than Bush.

Shining Light on Obama


In a recent post by Ann Coulter called OBAMA AT HOFSTRA: RELATIVELY ALERT, ERGO BIG WINNER, Coulter took quotes from both President Obama and Mitt Romney and shared her own opinion on the things that were said during the Presidential Debate. Coulter speaks directly to potential voters who are interested in the outcome of the upcoming election in her blog. Coulter brings light to all of the issues that were invalid during the debate, and gives examples that contradict his statements. Throughout the blog, Coulter quotes Obama on key issues of which he spoke during the debate. For example “He explained that the price of gasoline was $1.80 when he took office because the economy was in the toilet. Apparently, prices have spiked to more than $4 a gallon because all Americans are back at work now and making big bucks!” Coulter makes many arguments and sarcastic, witty remarks in response to his ludicrous lies. Even if you do not agree with Coulter and her stance on political issues, she remains not only a credible and entertaining political writer, but also a former lawyer, conservative social and political commentator who has a strong conservative ideology and defends the issues that are at hand. I agree with the stance that Coulter hast taken and her commentary of the debate. I think that Obama needs to be called and challenged on the issues at hand, instead of giving excuse after excuse, when Obama has failed to do much of what he promised during his presidential campaign.
