‘Uncle Jim Who’s a Little Stubborn’: Obama Takes a Shot at Fox News

President Barack Obama took a jab at Fox News during a campaign event Friday while reminding supporters that he’s “lowered taxes” for the middle class.
“So just in case some of your friends or neighbors, or you know, Uncle Jim who‘s a little stubborn and been watching Fox News and no he thinks that somehow I’ve raised taxes,” Obama said to laughter. “Let’s just be clear — we’ve lowered taxes for middle class families since I came into office.”
Fox News has been a favorite media target of the White House, most recently earlier this month when White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said none-too-subtly that those who believe the administration is promoting “class warfare” may be watching “one particular network.”

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 4:43pmLowered taxes? Really? Just because he keeps trying to name his new taxes with names other than “Tax”…..
The only people not paying more taxes are his progressive dem friends and that is only because they don’t pay their taxes!
Keep waiting for a lightning bolt to come banging down each time he tells a whopper like that!

So I guess since you’ve been around awhile and I haven’t, that means you know more than I do? Try not to be too arrogant. As WAKINGSHEEP pointed out, those were facts. Now, maybe he doesn’t support some of those things at this moment, but that’s not the point.

I’m glad you changed your ways. However, bureaucrats rarely have real heart felt honest change. They play both sides to get votes.
The good people are outnumbered by the bad 1,000 to 1. So it’s almost pointless. Not to mention some of those “good” people while they may have a good heart and intentions still support bad things because they believe in the system.
Personally, I see the system as too far gone. That’s why I want everything to be privatized so we can have a TRUE Free Market, instead of this “pay or go to jail” BS. I greatly enjoy politics and making things right, but I will never go into it, because no real change would happen. The only place one could might make a difference is law enforcement. Think about it. Bureaucrats can write all the laws they want; write till their hands fall off and there is no more paper, but unless there is a gun to back up their legal suggestions, well…that’s what they will stay—suggestions.

How dare this snotty nosed network get in the way of our plans. It’s like right out of a bad movie. See, I couldn’t get through ten minutes of watching MSNBC without writing down a lie they spew for the useful idiots that watch that network. Yet, nobody in the media attacks them? Hmmm. Oh, people do point out their dishonesty but they don’t get “attacked” like Fox News does. Then you have the little “repeaters”, who have never heard of critical thinking from their Mark Lamont Hill and Francis Fox Piven type professors, write “faux” news all over any site that allows. They’re just repeaters – mindless. Scale: If the U.S represented the media then fox news would be the size of Rhode Island. And the one biased anchor on that network, Hannity, would be Providence Rhode Island. And Hannity is a really nice guy who actually has the other side on his show every night. So, you have the entire powerful United States vs Providence Rhode Island. “Must Destroy Providence.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 5:12pmActually, according to the latest statistics report released today, you worked until today to pay your taxes-federal, state, and local. Of course, the report does note that just like the government they don’t count social security and medicare/medicaid or other entitlement obligations in their calculations.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 6:49pmWakingSheep – I‘ve been reading these posts and don’t understand why you think the people on here do not want a Constitutional government. You comment about Stalin, Hitler, and the Devil started the back and forth. Romney has promised to repeal Obamacare, lower taxes, get rid of all the new regulations, etc. He isn’t the same as Obama at all. Talk about flip flop, Obama has mastered that only calls it evolving, sure!!!! Obama is a Marxist. Romney is a Capitalist and will do all he can to turn this country around and into prosperity again. Romney believes in the Constitution, Obama wants to get rid of the Constitution so he can rule us.

Nobody ever stuck around for the follow up. They called me names and disappeared.
Do you think Obamacare is Constitution (regardless of the ruling)?
Romneycare was the same.
Do you believe we have the right to bear arms per the 2nd ammendment?
Romney signed an assault rifle ban.
Do you believe the FED is Constitutional?
Romney believes the FED should not have to be regulated by Congress.
He might be a better businessman than Obama but he wreaks of big government mastermind.
The only reason this election was different as far as getting back to Constitutional; WE HAD THE CANDIDATE FOR IT!
We the people voted against the Constitution this year by nominating Romney instead of Paul.
Romney doesn’t support the Constitution! He supports the U.N.!
Thanks for the honest reply.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 4:28pmGeorgeBush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spots a red phone and ask what the phone is for.
The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.
Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.
Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check.
Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.
When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil WHY Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.
The devil smiles and replies, ” Since Obama took over , the country has gone to hell, so it’s a local call.”

I figured he’d tuck tail and run by now. At least create a new account to talk badly about someone who doesn‘t want to kill muslim children because they’re muslim children. Never crossed his mind that one of those children might grow up to better humanity.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 4:49pmForget “combating” the lies. The media will just grind it out and bog us down in the non-sense. The truth is not as simple as he DID raise taxes or DIDN’T. Some of tax increases are hidden in the healthcare bill and some have not been implemented yet. The media grazers will never go any deeper than he said she said. The lies are not haphazardly constructed. Forget all that and convince your family and friends to vote for Romney. After he is removed from office we don’t ever have to utter his name again.
