Fiery Hannity Panel Debates Whether Obama Has the ‘Most Deceptive Administration in American History’

Sean Hannity Panel Debates Whether Obama Has the Most Deceptive Administration in American History

Fox News‘ Sean Hannity hosted The Daily Caller’s Michelle Fields and Daily Beast columnist Kirsten Powers on Monday night to discuss what he believes is “the most deceptive administration in American history”: The Obama administration.

Hannity began by referencing the incident where Vice President Joe Biden’s staff allegedly tried to edit pool reports. He also mentioned that his staff also refused to release transcripts from Biden for more than two months. Hannity added that Obama “had his name edited into the White House biographies” and official State Department documents to highlight his accomplishments.

Powers agreed that editing press reports is a problem, however, she wasn‘t convinced by Hannity’s assertion that the Obama administration is the “most deceptive” to ever exist.

“I think Iran contra was a little more deceptive,” she added.

Hannity went on to say that Obama’s campaign “is about smear and slander” and he continually gets away with lying and misleading the American public.

At this point, Fields jumped in the conversation and blamed the press, saying the media “isn’t on top of things.”

“What do you expect,” she said. “You were backing up these people and basically let them get elected without doing your job. The media failed to do their job in 2008, so for them to be upset is kind of ridiculous, because they’re the ones who protected them.”

Using that as a launching point, Hannity asked Powers how Paul Ryan would have been treated by the media if he had made Biden’s now infamous “put y’all back in chains” remark.

Powers’ answer was surprisingly honest.

“Total hysteria, he would be called a race monger,” she said, referring to Ryan. She added there’s “no question” that Biden gets a pass on things and said it was “inexcusable.”

“This campaign is really a propaganda machine,” Fields interjected, adding that the State Department “is now editing descriptions of countries and putting Obama’s foreign policy positions in them instead of the history of these countries and the historical context.”

“I don’t see any media jumping on this, other than Fox News,” she added.

    Barack Obama is too lightweight in experience and skills to be President of the United States, even after almost four years. He’s basically a joke. He doesn’t know how to be a Leader, or how to work out compromises between opposing political views, like successful Presidents have done.

    All he knows is “rabble-rousing”. Get enough people together on some imaginary injustice, that they perceive have been committed against them, and have them make a lot of noise and commotion until they get their way.

    That is how Obama is “leading” this Country, like a zonked out College student who is too busy protesting and smoking weed to actually attend any classes.

      ‘Basically’ my butt. Hussein is the most inexperienced, unqualified, uneducated dolt to EVER sit in my Oval Office. He was a senator for 100 days before he was running for this office. He DID NOT go to Columbia as he has said he did. He DID NOT have a job as a professor at Harvard as he said he was. He was a lecturer. There is a HUGE difference. He has NEVER had a job in his lifetime. His birth is celebrated in a village near Mombasa, Kenya, yet he has forged many attempts to say he was born in Hawaii. LIAR.

      It’s really hard to compromise when your partner party (the republicans) are only concerned with ensuring Obama is a one term president. Not bettering the economy, not creating jobs, not mitigating illegal immigration. The only thing the Republicans are concerned with is keeping a Obama a one term president.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-A09a_gHJc

      “Our top political priority over the next two years will be to deny President Obama a second term”.

      Don‘t rant about how he doesn’t know how to compromise when it was his bright eyed belief that there COULD be compromise with the republicans do-nothings that got us into this mess in the first place. When the Dems retake the super majority thanks to your friends “legitimate rape” comment, then we will see Obama push through all the things he really wants. And there will be no republican temper tantrums to stop him.

      He is a leader, and he will continue to lead for the next 4 years, Lord willing.

Hint, he didn’t use conventional weaponry. And yet there are liberals too dam* lazy to even take four minutes. Who among the ‘knowing’ liberals were even in Iraq? How ’bout Balad AB? (Anaconda). Do you recall the huge bunker at the southest end of the runway? the one with huge cupola vents on top, only bunker located off Base for some reason, now sealed of with a chain-link fence topped by C-Wire, and off limits to everyone, the one that sets sniffers wild?

Guess the difference is in the eye of the beholder as to which party’s “war” is being fought and who it was against…Democrats helping Muslims fight Red Army tanks in Afghanistan, or Republicans fighting Daniel Ortega‘s death squads to keep them from murdering more Catholic priests and nuns in El Salvador while freeing the American hostages in Iran that the feckless Carter couldn’t save.
