Freedom of the Press/Loss of Democracy

One of the first things to go in a democracy is freedom of the press, and the ability of a nation's people to freely speak their minds.  Am concerned that we are in the early stages of a revocation of the freedom of speech/freedom of the press in the United States.  The Obama administration's attempt to marginalize Fox News - the only news agency that will typically present information disadvantageous to the Obama administration - to keep them out of the loop, and therefore quash dissenting opinions/views, is scary at best.  The Obama administration's first attempt at such occured in the fall of 2009 ( see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-w7-G8PLyc), and more recent attempts at such (see http://dailycaller.com/2012/12/01/palin-van-susteren-rip-media-for-reluctance-to-take-on-white-house-on-benghazi-video/#ixzz2Dv6lQchm).

Control and suppression of news/information is dangerous to the liberty of a nation. 

Great Uniter or Great Divider?

Voting is the best revenge:  In a campaign speech immediately before the election, the "great uniter" said that "voting is the best revenge".  For those of you who were enthralled by the concept of the first black President - does this even remotely sound like the man you pulled for in 2008 who said "not red states and blue states, but the United States"?

Punish your enemies: Before the 2010 elections, Obama urged Latinos to "punish your enemies".  Does this sound like a man who is trying to pull the country together - or someone who cynically plays the Class Warfare card?  NOTE:  For his 2012 campaign, his campaign was based almost entirely on playing different portions of the voting populace against each other.

Biased main stream media:   The main stream media - whose primary responsibility should be in keeping the public educated on the issues of the day, has done just the opposite, they have kept many people misinformed/uninformed - avoiding, even suppressing, news that is unfavorable to the administration.  It's actually like the main stream press - in their desperation to support/protect the first black President, has decided to adopt what seems to be a major tenet of the left - "the ends justifies the means".

Comment: This man is not the "great uniter" that he pretended to be in 2008 and he is not the champion of the middle class that he campaigned as in 2012.  I think it strongly behooves all freedom loving Americans to keep a very close and watchful eye on this man, or we may be horrified to find that a second term is followed by a third term, and then a fourth term, etc., etc.
