Overlooked?

 

The Fox news flap is lingering in my memory.   I''m trying to reconcile how the White House, which continues to insist it is interested in ideas and opinions "from all sides" can justify calling a news channel an extension of the Republican party--as if this is a bad thing--and still insist it does not object to opinions other than its own?

Are the ideas of the GOP, even reflected as they insist in the editorializing of shows like Hannity and Beck, (regardless of their complicity with the actual Republican Policy agenda) unwelcome?  How partisan and closed minded of Mr, Obama and his administration.

Anita Dumb (sorry, Dunn) the sacrificial lamb for the "Fox is not news feint" is already on her way out--under additional speculation that she's leaving only to make room for her husbands better White House Job--but that can't be the end of it. Was Dunn simply the latest effort to silence opposition?  She was already going to get run over by the Obama bus for other reasons, so why not cover her with live grenades and take out as many as they can while she goes out?

Or is this just another in a long list of novice mistakes by an inexperienced leader who overdelegates to poor administrators after whom he is constantly forced to clean up?

Regardless, the White House clearly cannot stand any opposition.  It's almost infantile how they object to speech which does not toe the administrations agenda.  And is that to be expected from a house full of Chicago politicians who are used to buying people off to get their way, and smearing anyone who won;t be bought off?  They have smeared veterans, libertarian, greedy doctors, evil insurance companies, profit grabbing pharmaceutical companies, gun owneres, oil companies, tea party activists, town hallers, bloggers, the rich, and a news organization, to (and this is scary) name but a few. 

It will be interesting to see, given that they have another 38 months left in which to show their bi-partisan spirit, who will be left standing beside or behind them when it is all over.

My guess is almost no one.
