Chip Reid and none other than ultra-liberal Helen Thomas (she's 89 years old and has been has covering the White House during every presidency since JFK) called White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs out and put him on the hot seat.

Afterwards, Helen Thomas said to CBS that not even Richard Nixon tried to control the press the way President Obama is trying to control the press.

"Nixon didn't try to do that," Thomas said. "They couldn't control (the media). They didn't try. What the hell do they think we are, puppets?" Thomas said. "They're supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them."

LOL you go girl!!!

Well, it would seem that the public is likewise starting to finally wake up to all the media manipulation and controlled imagery and information flow, which was inevitable because no matter how much spinning the talking heads do on TV...trying to convince you that things are great...people ultimately look at their own lives and their friends and say "What the hell are you talking about? Life SUCKS right now!"

Here's a bottom line truth about politics: a shitty economy and sky high unemployment and people scrambling to simply make their bills is always going to create A LOT of really pissed off people, no matter who you are. Which is a lesson that the anointed one is about to learn.

From today's Real Clear Politics...

Ohio: Obama Under 50% Approval

President Obama's job approval in Ohio has dropped significantly in the last two months, dipping under the 50% mark for the first time, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University.

In the last Quinnipiac poll in Ohio taken in early May, Obama enjoyed a healthy 62% job approval rating, with only 31% disapproving.

Today, Obama's job approval stands at 49%, with 44% disapproving - a twenty-five point drop in just eight weeks.

Not surprsingly, Obama has seen a corresponding drop among voters' approval of his handling of the economy: two months ago he had a net +21 approval (57/36), today it is -2 (46/48).

Obama met with Putin today. Putin felt the need to educate Obama about the cold war. He lectured Obama for an hour while BO sat there and listened. What a chump. Oh well... it's not the first time BO has been tutored by a communist.

Did he? When? And if he did, why would Helen Thomas (who probably hates Bush as much as you do) criticize Obama as being the worse she's ever seen. Worse than even Nixon?

George Bush hand picked reporters to ask questions and screened their questions before his town hall meetings? When? And if he did, why would Helen Thomas (who probably hates Bush as much as you do) criticize Obama as being the worse she's ever seen. Worse than even Nixon?

She must be having a senior moment and forgot all the crap W pulled because it will be hard for anyone to be worse then W ,Well ok Jeb and Palin may give him a good run after all she has the same outlook and mind set and Jeb also has the same mindset but no one will ever be worse then W, If W ever had a town meeting it must have been in 2000 and i don't consider a miltary base a town hall meeting, Funny when he was supposed to be in the AIR NATIONAL GUARD he wouldn't go anywhere's near a miltary base but after 9/11 you couldn't keep him away Jennifer

BO is in the process of making our economy worse and is threatening another stimulus package because spending the first $trillion and creating the conditions for hyper-inflation somehow didn't cure our money problems. Well hey, if that didn't work, maybe if he does it again it will work this time.

Now, while threats to the US are growing stronger, he cuts spending on anti-missile weapons while N. Korea openly endeavors to put Hawaii, Alaska and our West Coast within striking distance. After the US wins the Cold War and becomes the lone superpower, he goes to Russia to restore their status as a superpower, and signs an agreement to weaken our defenses to the point that this could actually be a reality.

It is hard to fathom what the United States will gain from Barack Obama's much-hyped agreement with Dmitry Medvedev to further cut America's nuclear arsenal. Washington and Moscow have agreed in principle a framework to reduce their nukes by about a third, to 1,500 to 1,675 warheads over the next seven years. Even more significantly, the two leaders have pledged to cut their nuclear delivery systems (intercontinental ballistic missiles and long-range bombers for example) to just 500-1,100 units, a move that works greatly to Russia's advantage as its force projection is far weaker than the U.S. in this area.

The new deal, which Obama hopes to wrap up with the Kremlin by December, creates a far more level playing field for the Russians, whose strategic conventional weapons capability is greatly outclassed by that of the Americans, and whose deteriorating nuclear weapons stockpile is aging and in decline. The whole agreement makes no sense, and is little more than a vanity exercise for Barack Obama who has ludicrously pledged to carve out a nuclear-free world. Surely a better strategy would be to further build up America's defences, including a global missile defence shield, rather than cut defence spending and further gut the superpower's nuclear capability.

At this rate, even Jimmy Carter looks like General Patton compared to the dove-like current U.S. president. Why cut nuclear weapons at a time when rogue regimes such as North Korea and Iran are busy building their own programmes? Does the President seriously believe this move will encourage the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Kim Jong Il to renounce their nuclear designs? What evidence is there in history that a unilateral policy of disarmament will prompt tyrannical regimes to change their behaviour?

It is also unclear what kind of odious quid pro quo deal Washington will have to sign up to in order move the agreement forward. President Medvedev, who serves as little more than Vladimir Putin's right hand, has made it abundantly clear that the United States will have to sacrifice any plans for a 'third site' missile defence system in eastern and central Europe for Moscow to sign up to a news arms treaty. This would be a huge betrayal of key U.S. allies Poland and the Czech Republic. No doubt Moscow will also demand the Obama administration give the Russians a bigger say over NATO expansion eastwards, including blocking the entry of Georgia and Ukraine.

By agreeing to a grand bargain with the Medvedev/Putin regime, President Obama has unwisely opened a Pandora's box of concessions that will only enhance Russia's hand in its "Near Abroad". At the same time, the Obama administration's naïve approach will strengthen the resolve of America's enemies such as Iran to aggressively pursue their nuclear ambitions and exploit the weakness of a president who is gravely undercutting American global power in an increasingly dangerous world.

This is not what someone who is working to protect his country does. He is actively working to tear it down.

BO can suck it
