CNBC Host: What’s Up With the Media Ignoring Obama’s Gaffes? (And Guess How Many He’s Had in Just 2 Weeks)
The news media is more than happy to report on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s “gaaaffes,” but what about President Obama’s? After all, the president has had some pretty serious missteps in recent weeks.
According to CNBC’s Larry Kudlow and conservative firebrand Ann Coulter, the president’s gaffes have gone unreported because, well, the press is giving him a free pass.
“It’s stunning how Obama gets this kid glove treatment from media,” said Coulter.
Kudlow noted that, if anything, the only presidential gaffe you’ll hear about is “60 Minutes” “bumps in the road” remark.
The problem with this, according to Kudlow and Coulter, is that there are many, many more gaffes where that came from [via CNBC.com]:
Citing Redalert Politics, CNBC.com compiled the following list of gaffes committed by Barack Obama in just the past two weeks:
1) President Obama referred to Israel’s concern over Iran’s march toward a nuclear program as “noise” and then called Israel one of the nation’s closest allies in the region.
According to Kristen Silverberg, former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Obama’s commentary is unusual. “There has been a bi-partisan consensus for many years that the US and Israel are the closest of allies.
2) Obama’s Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi was not premeditated. The commentary directly contradicted top Libyan officials who said the attack was planned in advance.
3) President Obama stated that his biggest lesson from his first term was that “you can’t change Washington from the inside.”
4) President Obama said that Egypt was not an ally, only to then be contradicted by his own State Department.
Naturally, the Obama administration disagrees with the “blind eye” characterization from conservatives and maintains they are being given the same amount of scrutiny as the Romney campaign.
“There is a certain rather desperate attempt to grasp at words and phrases here to find political advantage,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “And in this case, that’s profoundly offensive.”

The only reason Romney is losing is because of the media. There’s no way it’s because they don’t like him and don’t like his policies. Except of course the 47% of the country who are moochers.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 12:48pmYou know JZS you can twist the 47% number all you want at least Romney has not sold his soul to win an election nor like the Lame Stream Media who have sold their souls to Obama. Satan worship will always come back and bite you in the A$$.
Obama is trying to bring America down under many disguises and you are too ignorant to see those signs or you are complacent. You rather pimp for Obama than protect the United States. What a great American you are?

Repealing a bill is not easy and it isn’t supposed to be. Other than that name one policy he has proposed. Neither candidate is being specific because it is going to be rough as hell after February. Because not one is answering what they are going to do neither one deserves a shot at the most important position in the world.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 1:49pmThis is what happens when leftist, progressive, Marxist “chosen people” take over high positions of power like the media and Hollywood. They use their power to further their leftist agenda.
In this case the “chosen people” have an agenda and the way to accomplish it is to focus on everything Romney says and ignore blunders by Obama. That way it paints a picture of Romney as an idiot.
The Founding Fathers never anticipated the free press getting hijacked by “chosen people” a hundred plus years after they lived, but it happened. The press is now just a propaganda machine for the left. I can’t believe any Republican can get elected considering the uphill battle they have to deal with in the “chosen people” controlled Marxist Media.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 2:34pmJZS You are so right! The Americans that get their news from the likes of NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc., are not getting anything close to the news. The main stream media is nothing more than a propoganda machine for the Obama administration. Journalism is dead. There is so much going on with this administration that the public needs to know about but the media suppresses it (the cover-up with Libya, Kathleen Sibelius breaking the law, Holde and Fast and Furious, how Obama is doing NOTHING to cut spending and reduce the deficit, etc). It is a crime what is going on in this country. Why are we Republicans and Conservatives continuing to support these people? I no longer watch the morning news shows or go to any movie where the actor/actress deliberately attacks us (Morgan Freeman, Ellen Barkin, etc.) It is one thing to have a different point of view and another to attack us as being racist, uncaring, etc., etc. We Republicans need to make sure we get everyone out to vote this November to end this nightmare and take back our country before it is too late!

if as you say Obama is ahead not because of the media but because people don’t like Romney….or his policies…then how about we look at numbers….from any CREDIBLE nation poll….
Obama’s support among “young voters” ages 18-25 is down
Obama’s support among “middle class votes” is down
Obama’s support among “white males” is down
Obama’s support among “white females” is down
Obama’s support among “those making over $100,000/year” of any RACE is down
Obama’s support among “educated voters” – those with a college degree or higher – is down
IN FACT…the ONLY groups that Obama has higher support in are…DRUM ROLL PLEASE…..
Blacks overall and especially Blacks making less than the National average per family..about $51K/year
Hispanics overall and especially Hispanics making less than the National average per family
BUT he LOSES support among Blacks and Hispanics that have a college degree or higher and among Blacks and Hispanics that own their own business and among Blacks and Hispanics that make over $100K per year as a family… I wonder WHY???
So if Barack Obama has LOWER numbers in ALL these demographics than he did against McCain, HOW can the MSM polls show him UP by anywhere from 2-11%, especially in “swing states” that tend to be MOSTLY the demographics he is DOWN in?? HMMM??
OH YEAH…those polls sample Dems by 5-10% more frequently than Reps or Inds..thus being scientifically invalid!!

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 3:20pmThis is for JZS. Ok, I have had enough of people referring to Romneys comment on 47% being about half the country. I realize I am nitpicking but….
He was clearly referring to 47% of voters, who will no matter what, vote for Obama. There are 311,591,917 people in this country now. In 2008 voter turnout was 56.8%. Thats 176,984,208 for the turnout. 47% of that is 83,182,577. So, yes, he was referring to 83,182,577 people. Check my math but that is not 47% of the country. Its just a rough estimate but you get the point. I think people are confusing this number with the 48% who dont pay taxes. Roughly 27% of the country are morons. Just saying…..

I hate to correct you, but I think the correction proves your point even further, so if I may.
Romney not only said he would repeal Obamacare, he said he would he “repeal and replace” Obamacare. Every freaking “Republican” should be asking, no demanding, what EXACTLY Romeny intends to replace it with! Otherwise the Republicans are satisfied with the empty rhetoric they constantly chastise the Democrats with following. If you do not demand Romney to explain that statement in his RNC speech, you are nope better than a hope and change rhetoric useful idiot.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 6:18pm@ Soy – for crying out loud do I have to print the article out for you, draw pictures, read it to you….
So why does Romney continue to say that Romneycare was a success when empirically it is an economic disaster that also provides Obama talking points that protect ObamaCare? Were the Romney team to start a serious defense of the political twists and turns that fundamentally changed his bill into something much worse, it would no doubt confuse the vast majority of the electorate and sway no one in the process. The Obama campaign would undoubtedly make Romneycare the center of political discussion, thus diverting attention from the poor economy and other problematic issues that Obama faces this election cycle.
Romney cannot say that Romneycare in Massachusetts is a poor law without falling down a slippery slope and getting consumed in discussions about its failure by the Obama-complicit media. Neither can he argue the merits or history of Romneycare without creating a media frenzy as well. The smartest way for the Romney campaign to stay on message about Obama’s failed economy is to give short messages that Romneycare is a success but to not get into the details, and so they do.
There are many times where one must cede the battle (lose it) to ultimately win the war. That seems to be a difficult concept for you. We have to choices – Romney or Obama. We have a chance with Romney – none with Obama (this is one of those battles – we can still win the war w/ Rom

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 9:52pm@MorningGlory: Evening Grace to YOU!
WHY is NO ONE speaking to the unbelievable debt this President (and Congress) are incurring?
If you take the $1.4 Trillion Deficit (that’s ONE Years’ Overspending) in $100 bills (the largest bill in print today), and STACKED THEM UP (not end-to-end, but STACKED), that would be a stack of bills 95,012.6 MILES HIGH!
If you laid it out (rather than stacking it UP), it would wrap around the Earth 3.8 TIMES!
NOW… IF Obama succeeds in ENDING the Bush Era Tax Cuts for the “Millionaires and Billionaires” (those making more than $250,000/year), HOW MUCH MONEY would that bring in (using the most GENEROUS of predictions)? $56.3 Billion
THAT would reduce the STACK of $100 bills to “ONLY” 91,191.73 MILES (or “ONLY” 3.66 times around the Earth)!
Now call me a Right-Winger, if you like, but WHAT THE HECK are we talking about?
Without SERIOUS SPENDING CUTS, even WITH the tax increases on the “Millionaires and Billionaires”, we’re STILL DOOMED!
Obama’s ECONOMIC ENGINE is losing FUEL at the rate of $1,400 BILLION a year, and HE thinks that simply pouring $56.3 Billion in the tank (WITHOUT FIXING THE LEAK) is going to do ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE?
IT WILL NOT!
Pardon my “French”, but Big F’ing Deal! That “cash” will reduce Obama’s $1.4 TRILLION deficit to $1.3437 TRILLION!

In 2008 the city voted 95% for Obama and there was an Obama2008 bumper sticker on every car and a yard sign in every yard. I have not seen a single yard sign this year. And I can count on one hand how many 2012 bumper stickers I have seen. But Nobama gear is sold out at the store down the street. Every other car has a Nobama (or anti-Obamacare) bumper sticker.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 12:01pmyou are right Romney was probably the fifth strongest candidate and will lose this election because people jumped on bandwagons then jumped off as soon as Romney’s negative adds took effect. The only guy with a prayer to beat Obama was Gingrich but when guys like glenn jumped all over him, our chances went right out the window.
Gingrich was not the best candidate but the only one with enough smarts to not fall prey to the liberal media. Did he have baggage yeah, But I have yet to hear a real solution from anyone else. All this talk about cut this, cut that, wait until February comes around and people are up in arms because the government wants another $trillion, or they start cutting. For all of you that think this cut 5 departments and everything gets better, that just adds to the unemployment and stagnates us further.
We need to do more with less and that means be efficient. The U.S. has been the most inefficient body the world has ever known because we could be. That time is past and it is time to use lean six sigma principles everywhere in government. Only Newt proposed that. The government works on a 100% + cost of increase method. So if you have a school that gets $1 million and after 9 months of being frugal they have $400k left they figure out how to spend the $400k whether they need to or not, because next years budget will be based on this years spending +cost of increase. There is no incentive to be efficient. Nothing else works that way because it would fa

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 12:50pmThe reason you do no think Obama has not flip flopped is because his ever loving media call his twists and turns “evolution”. You see, Obama “evolved” on the issue of gay marriage. Not once did the mainstream press use the term “flip flop”. So when he campaigned AGAINST keeping Git-mo opened but decided to keep it open after all….he “evolved”. When he wanted to try the 9-11 mastermind in a NY courtroom he quickly evolved into thinking that wouldn’t be such a cool idea afterall. The press never mentioned the flip flop. Hmm. Wonder why, Americanmom? Want another? How about his evolutionary thought on thinking better of the Patriot Act (he extended it in March after criticizing it as a senator and candidate). So tell me..what does O believe in again? This president has done nothing to better the US. Nothing at all. And people like you keep whistling past the graveyard. Wake up…if not for yourself, then for your kids.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 1:03pmAmericanMom you might want to change your name because a vote for Obama is a vote for communism and socialism, which are NOT traits of a true American. You either stand for America’s freedoms and greatness or you stand to bring her down like Obama is doing. Which is it AmericanMom? Are you Communist Socialist or are you a Republic American? Are you really a mom?
Your true ignorance is showing if you dismiss Obama upbringing. We still don’t have concrete proof where Obama was born. Maybe you missed a tape where Obama himself said he was born in Kenya to a group of people. Michelle herself said Obama’s roots are in Kenya, now I will grant that could mean where his father was born. So why does Obama ignore his family in Kenya if his “roots” are so instilled to the country? Why did his half-brother George feel he could not go to his own brother and ask for money to help his son when he was admitted to the hospital and asked Dinesh DeSouza instead for the money? Why was Frank Marshall Davis, a card carrying Communist tracked by the FBI as “a person to watch” Obama’s mentor? Obama own father was an activist who fought a perceived “colonialism” of Kenya. Kenya is now a very poor country and does not thrive like other nations where either the British or United States came in to make improvement.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 9:09amOften wondered this myself. With the success of Fox, it sounds like a no-brainer. Seems like there are a few deep pockets out there that collectively will throw 100′s of millions at an election, but the reality is that this will be a slow crawl back to stop the “fundamental” change we all abhor….

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 9:23amSomeone may be able to purchase those news outlets but would it be a good investment? I would not waste one penny on any of them. You might be left with 5 people left standing in the office after you fire everyone else! Would be nice to have other sources though. Sick and tired of the choices, too little!

I’ll tell you why. Because it would be a total waste of money. Consider what you are buying when you ‘buy a network’. You are buying the their channel bandwidth & frequencies, the copyright of their brandname and logo, all the buildings & equipment (microphones, cameras, studios, etc) and the contracts of all the reporters, crews, and actors that they employ. Who wants to start off a new company saddled with the negative baggage of a brandname like NBC or ABC? And who wants to own the contracts of Matt Lauer, David Gregory, Katie Couric, Martin Bashir, Chris Matthews, Brian Williams and John Doe (the mysterious never-named editor of the George Zimmerman 911 call audio). Do you really want to own those contracts? What good are they, if you are going to run a legit company? Those people couldn’t work at your company. So the only thing of value is the office space and possibly the camera equipment. But that is most likely dated. So you are better off buying the newer (better and cheaper) camera equipment.

All good points. I agree this would be a lousy business investment and the old media is falling by the way side; newsprint, magazines, alphabet news is owned predominately by the left and look at the subscription rates and profits. However, if I’m looking to reach the 47% Romney refers to, I would choose to do it through the old guard…that would be my only justification. All that assuming I have a few billionaire friends to throw some coin at the cause….

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 7:38amThat’s hillarious! Jay Carney finds this “desperate attempt to grasp at words and phrases” offensive. Well then, I sincerely hope that he is as offended by Obama as I am. Carney (interesting last name…step right up!) Works for a guy who has run his entire political career by doing just that. Well, that and outright lying. Obama is not above saying someone said something they did’nt, while also saying he did’nt say something that was broadcast to the world. Sometimes I feel like we’re dealing with children. Evil, dangerous children.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 8:23amHave you ever watched Carney? The poor man is pathetic. He has a pained expression every time he holds a press conference. He KNOWS he is trying to cover Obama’s a** and telling, in many cases, outright lies and trying to be convincing while doing it.
Many of his “UHS”, “ERS” and stumbling around when confronted (Rarely ever done by the Mainstream Media) by a reporter interested in getting at the truth is a spectacle to behold. After each “News” conference, he must go back and swallow several nerve tablets to calm himself down.
I could never do his job!!!! Covering for the worst president with the worst policies, ever to occupy the White House, can only be stressful beyond imagination. If I were him, after his stint as spokesman for the “LIAR IN CHIEF”, he should move to the Virgin Islands and become a tour guide or find some other less stressful occupation.

People that are elected in politics are representatives not leaders. Just like Dr. Paul will put the earmarks in Bills that his constituents call for, Romney, who represented a Democrat State, did what his constituents and that States House and Senate asked for.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 8:08amSOY, I personally feel that 0bamacare does violate the Constitution regardless what the SCOTUS says, but what the states do is another animal altogether under their State Constitutions. I still feel that this was not a good idea, but the states do have the right to do what the federal government should not be doing. So, no this is not a gaffe on Mitt’s part. It is still a socialistic style of healthcare, and Massachusetts politics still admit that some people are still falling through the cracks. Meaning that it does not work as well as expected. They would be better off like the nation and all states if they allowed open competition with all insurance companies, instead of favoring only one or two who are likely paying kickbacks. Still not a gaffe in my opinion.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 8:09amThis is not Romney saying he did it because his state was so liberal. He is saying he did it because it was the right thing for government to do. The conservative media tells us that Romney fought against Romneycare and hated it from start to finish. That is a lie.
Romney is a moderate but his Plan A was to win as a traditional republican – that has not worded out well. So Romney is on to Plan B, which is to highlight his progressivism and plans for a compassionate government. This should be red freaking alarms to people like you and Beck. But instead of being alarmed, you are still obsessed with Ron Paul and the budgetary process that every single member of Congress (including Paul Ryan) participated in.
I didnt say a peep about Ron Paul but everyone around here still brings him up when logical arguments are made – that is how i know you are not being honest with yourself

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 8:36amYeah SOY, You alone are right and we are all just complete dumbasses. In fact, I am so damned stupid that I plan not to throw away my vote entirely by voting for Romney instead of being like a handful of people in each state who vote for Johnson thus allowing him to go nowhere.
Man, you’ve got to get your head in the right place now. Johnson doesn’t even have a snowflakes chance in hell of winning this election now. My humble opinion for the moment is that we have to ge 0bama as far away from the White House as possible and you sit on you dead ass splitting hairs for absolutely no reason. I’ve said it before and will say it again. You will have to grow your party to the size of the Democrats or Republicans to get anywhere politically. As of now, the only possible thing you will do is split the conservative vote giving 0bama another hands down win. This arguing should stop now, and no because I support Romney. It should stop now and we need to band together to get 0bama out. I’ve also pointed out that I am wary of Romney, but I’ve also done my research. In my opinion I do not like Ron Paul other than Secretary of the Treasury, and he would do fantastic things there. I do not care for Johnson at all. But, for God’s sake, go ahead and continue to split those hairs, and VOTE PERROT again.

Good link. Looks to me like the feds threatened to pull a $385 million grant due to high costs in Mass. With 6.5 million residents thats a mere $60 per person. Until states can tell the feds to kiss their a$$ and the measly grant money goodbye, states will be beholden to the feds. I don’t have all the answers but with ACA costing, based on $2.5 trillion CBO estimates, a total of $7,500 per person the math makes no sense. States need to cut the cord with the feds on healthcare at least.

750 seats were won by conservatives in 2010 across all levels of government; local, state and federal. It’s time for that to start showing up in not only the fiscal responsibility but social as well. While I think the progressives are on the ropes, people need to get a basic understanding of how this can be beaten down and just how long it will take. What happened in 2010 needs to continue in 2012. Folks that think one election for POTUS this Fall is all it will take are naive, but losing it could be extremely detrimental. The left will be demoralized if/when Romney wins and then the real battles start…

T’was the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down
I, in my bathrobe,
With a cat in my lap,
Had cut off the TV,
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys.
They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay,
To give to the others,
Who had not worked a day !
He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon,
As I gagged in the stink.
He then rallied his henchmen,
Who were pulling his cart,
I could tell they were out,
To tear my country apart !
‘On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Reid, On Pelosi,
He screamed at the pairs !
They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at the nation,
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight !
So I leave you to think,
On this one final note,
IF YOU DON’T WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA , OUR ONLY HOPE!!!
