MainStream Press's Betrayal of America

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".

2008 Presidential Campaign:  In 2008 Obama ran as the "hope and change" candidate - the "great uniter" - the "not red states and blue states", but the United States" candidate.  For the average American who was working a nine to five job, it's understandable that they didn't know the full story about Barack Obama.  However, the mainstream press, totally ignored - actually suppressed, highly relevant information that would have been invaluable in judging the character of the man who wanted to be President - Barack Hussein Obama:

Birds of a Feather: You're typically known by the company you keep.  The mainstream press never fully revealed the following:

      Reverend Wright: Otherwise known as, Mr. "Not God Bless America, God Damn America". Obama sat in his church for 20 years, and he called him his mentor. Listen to Obama's June 2007 speech at Hampton University (available on Youtube), where the "Great Uniter" praises Wright, and spouts class warfare, sounding like either a divisive panderer or a racist.
     Right-wing comparison:  Imagine a conservative Presidential candidate who sat for 20 years in the church of a white supremest minister - and who also considered that minister to be his mentor.
His Presidential candidacy would be a non-starter.

     Michelle Obama: On Feb 18, 2008 Michelle Obama said that for “the first time” in her adult life,” she was proud of America, as she spoke during a rally to support her husband’s first presidential bid. Sounds an awful lot like a black American with a really big chip on their shoulder.
     Right-wing comparison:  Imagine a conservative Presidential candidate whose wife said that practically her entire life that she was not proud of this country.  His Presidential candidacy would be a non-starter.

      Bill Ayers: The person from whose living room Obama's first political campaign was launched. Ayers is the former fugitive of the law, and leader of the Weather Underground, which was an American radical left organization whose goal was to create a clandestine revolutionary party for the violent overthrow of the US government.
     Right-wing comparison:  Imagine a conservative Presidential candidate whose first campaign meeting was at the house of a right wing terrorist who had been involved in criminal activities.  His Presidential candidacy would be a non-starter.

     Marshall Davis: Through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his “poetry” and getting advice on his career path.
     Right-wing comparison:   Imagine a conservative Presidential candidate who was mentored by a Hitler style Fascist in their teenage years.  His Presidential candidacy would be a non-starter.

Obama's children's book: - Within this book he states that one of his 13 inspirational characters is Sitting Bull - the Indian Chief largely responsible for the defeat of Custer at the Little Big Horn. My suspicion is that anyone who thinks that Custer's Last Stand was orchestrated by a "inspirational" person has a real problem with this country, fitting right in with the left's view of our country through a dark spectrum - as an evil country that has inflicted unfair/inhumane treatment on both internal/external peoples. Specifically, that our misdoings are largely related to our evil capitalistic society's quest for resources, land and power.  

Federal Security Clearance: Was a DOD manager for most of my thirty year career. Based on my knowledge of background checks that are required to get security clearances, Obama - based on who he has associated with (see above), could not have gotten a secret security clearance much less a top secret security clearance.................. This is the guy we voted to run our country?

2008 Presidential Candidacy:  Based on Barack Obama's associations (above), his 2008 Presidential campaign should have been a non-starter.  Only the mainstream press's deliberate suppression of highly pertinent information allowed Barack Obama to capture the Democratic nomination and win the Presidency.

2012 Presidential Campaign:   When you consider the state of our economy at the time of the election, Obama winning reelection would normally have been considered impossible:

The deficit: Soaring way out of hand. We stand on the precipice of becoming the next Greece - riots and all.
Unemployment:  7.9% at the time of the election
GDP: -  Growing at a feeble 2.0% at the time of the election
Obamacare:   forced down the throats of the American people
Average family salary:   Down $4K per household during the Obama administration
Benghazi: How can anyone feel good about an administration that sacrifices American lives for political (the Presidential election) purposes
Obama's Energy Policy:  Cancelling the Keystone Pipeline, and using his EPA henchman to slow/stop energy utilization within the United States
Class Warfare:   Obama's 2008 pitch about not red and blue states, but the United States has rung hollow. Instead of being the "great uniter", he has turned out to be the "great divider". His entire campaign was based on playing different portions of the voting populace against each other.  People are more alienated and ostracised from each other than ever. 

Mainstream press in the 2012 campaign:  Instead of focusing on the above, the mainstream press glossed over - or suppressed, the very significant flaws of Obama's first term and focused instead on issues more helpful toward getting Obama reelected:   redistribution of wealth, the demonizing of Romney, "free stuff , abortion, and other peripheral issues.
    
Unamerican Thinking:   If you consider Obama's background/past associations, many would argue that our current sad economic state of affairs is intentional, that Obama has been sabotaging our economic recovery due to his deep seated hatred for this country - that the words "Great Satan" proclaimed by such luminaries as Ahmadinejad does not echo hollow on his ears.  

Whether the mismanagement of this country is intentional, or not, thank you mainstream press for the betrayal of America and helping get a guy reelected who - with his socialist (perhaps Marxist) policies/agenda may actually be the "Manchurian Candidate".
