U.S. Drones: President ‘Had
His Plate Full’ With Election

Mediaite, by Alex Alvarez

Geraldo Rivera stopped by Fox & Friends‘ curvy couch on Friday, where he was asked about the fact that an Iranian jet attack on U.S. drones had gone unreported until a week after the election. (Snip) “It is officially an act of war; I agree with that,” said Rivera. “Now jump cut to the question of why we didn’t know about it initially? Our Jennifer Griffin reports that it was a classified mission. That’s one of the reasons they gave for not revealing it. But I think it’s pretty clear, like the response to the storm, that

I haven't listened to the "news' since November 6. I'm even finding FOX increasingly tedious.

OK Geraldo's a dumbarse lib but has he ever actually added to any discussion, offered any insight, been interesting? What exactly is he paid for?

Okay, Geraldo...here's another one for you: We Republicans know the real reason Boeing held off announcing huge lay-offs until THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION and Lockheed's will be forthcoming shortly, but just for giggles, why not give us your spin?

Geraldo has become a joke and a caricature. He is so in the bag and has a "man crush" on Barry. This behavior is representative of the MSM and how they refuse to investigate anything with this guy and make excuses for him. Pathetic! If Bush had decided to take an Asian "working" vacation at the time the fiscal cliff was looming - they would want him impeached.

I'm with several of the aboce posters. I am so sick of Who-uan Williams and all of the other demrats that Hannity bring on that I have completely stopped watching. Fox, in it's insane claim to be balanced is moving to advertised progressism. I think Hannity did more to get Obambi reelected than the mainstream media. He and O'Reilly apologized too many times for criminal behavior. Hannity and his "Stop Obama Express" did nothing to get the facts out.

We need someone to buy a network and have pure unapologetic conservative news. I would buy stock in it. We don't need scare tactics or exagerated hype. We just need facts.

Who in the press is talking about the UN Charter to suppress our second amendment rights? Who in the press is talking about the impact of the growing national debt? Who in the press is talking about the "gifts" to Obama's friends in the name of stimulus? Who in the press is talking about the corruption in the administration an the house and senate republicans refusal to do anything about it?

I fear for our country.

FOX NEWS increasingly about anchors in tight dresses, stiletto heels that I doubt they can walk in, and sucking up, slobbering over former or current elected officials. It's about sound bites, baiting people to say something controversial so it will go viral to spike ratings, employing the idiot RNC and DNC consultant class, etc. Blah,, blah, blah. No in depth reporting except for Kathryn Herridge, Jennifer Griffin. No coverage of racism toward whites, Conyers' wife, Jesse Jackson, Jr. criminal probe, etc. Time to quit being a dumb sheeple and turn propaganda off.

I'm grateful to all the preceding posters re: Fox, Geraldo, the hideous Juan, Beckel, and the steadily growing number of blondes in 6" heels with skirts to their crotches who averaged don't make one dimwit. You've hit all the nails on the head. I too have turned off Fox except for Bret Baier and he only lasts until the panel begins. Then, depending on who is sitting there I go to mute until Dr. Krauthammer. Otherwise, no sound, nothing. In addition to the truly stupid marxist Juan, add Kristen, Mara, the blonde who uses her initials for a first name, and all the others now presented as being worthy of being heard. I don't think Ailes has it altogether anymore. If what I've learned is even half true, they have to be hurting. And if their only remaining claim to fame is that they are hated the least...well, I'd suggest that this says it all.

I am coming to the same conclusion about Fox, the posters on this site have expressed my sentiments.

The nation is divided, we have just witnessed a cataclysmic election which portrayed American tax payers as the enemy, and the latent progressives are crawling out of the Fox closet. Sorry, Fox, but I am weary of your intrusions every night.

Geraldo and Beckel will NOT be seen in this house.

I watch Bret Baier on Fox News and then Lou Dobbs on Fox Business. I was a fan of The Five at first but Bob Beckel, the reformed alcoholic, is simply insufferable. He has a nasty and mean personality and I can't stand to listen to a single word from him. If The Five got rid of Beckel I would return but I doubt they will. As for the female Fox panelists on Baier's show they are all liberals of varying intensity. The goon from the Wash Post, Charles Lane, is another sniveling leftist. Thank heaven for Krauthammer, Hayes, Kristol, Barnes, and Hume to provide some sanity.

Hey some of those hot blonde info babes on Fox are not so bad. In looks and content, infinitely better than Rachel Madcow and the execrable Nancy Grace.
O Reilly should be replaced with Greg Gutfeld, and Hannity with Dennis Miller.

Sick to death of the "right" spinning for Zero.

November 7th did not want to listen to anyone (Rush, Sean, Mark, etc) or read anything on the internet. Invested 4 years in trying to educate myself, others, listening to the pundits and their "take" on things. In the end, they were ALL wrong!

I won't blame them for the results, but apparently their pulse on America's electorate was about as accurate as mine and it was worthless. After reading blogs for 4 years and listening to talk radio it seemed like the tides were turning. So many posters on sites stating they had voted for Zero 1st time but not now. I believed the reality of his agenda was making its way into people's lives and they would certainly see the taint I saw? Apparently not.

However, if America has now been converted to a Takers vs. Makers country it is what it is. I still can't swallow that. I am curious though as to why there aren't any allegations of cheating? We had story after story on election day of the Black Panthers back at the polls. Republican poll monitors physically removed from sites. Military ballots not reaching our soldiers, etc.

The libs certainly seem to have perfected the nasty campaign, why then is it impossible to believe that they have successfully achieved an air-tight method of cheating in overwhelming, election winning numbers?

At least give Beckel credit for occasionally being funny! Geraldo, Colmes, and Juan Williams not so much! In fact not at all, nor are they competent debaters, always talking over people and switching topics whenever they have to give a tough answer. The Talking heads who think that conflict bring ratings are dead wrong as I like many other posters turn the channel as soon as they show up and spend the rest of the hour on the cooking channel.

If Fox has to let him go due to budget cuts, then it won't bother me.

I don't mind dissenting opinions. But people who make opinions that are downright stupid, like Obama "had his plate full" are not worthy of being compensated financially. Obama has thousands of people who are employed to respond to and disseminate information about international incidents. There is only one reason why we did not hear about this, and we all know what it is. Obama would have looked like a weakling, even to his own people, right before an election. Funny how no "anonymous sources" dribbled out this information before Election Day.

Colorado sheriffs seek to

file lawsuit against state

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move!

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.
