They just love TRYING to make President Obama look stupid, But it always backfires...

I  had a long talk with my son tonight, he is a fan of Fox noise, especially Bill O'Reilly. I convinced him to give Rachel Maddow a try, for at least a week, to get a different perspective on politics AND TO HEAR THE TRUTH!

Here's a good example of the way Fox misleads its viewers,

FoxNews.com edits out applause during Obama’s West Point speech.

In his commencement address to graduating West Point cadets on Saturday, the President outlined his upcoming national security strategy that is focused on international cooperation to meet the nation’s security challenges. He also praised American troops for their performance in Iraq. “A lesser Army might have seen its spirit broken,” he said, adding that “through their competence and creativity and courage, we are poised to end our combat mission in Iraq this summer.” At that point, cadets and the audience applauded for at least 12 seconds (starting at roughly the 10:24 mark here). However, as Michael Moore observed, video from the speech on FoxNews.com edits out that applause entirely, making it appear as if Obama is bizarrely staring silently for a long period of time. The audio is cut(starting at the 0:44 mark) for the 12 seconds of applause, and then skips to another part of the speech.



Media Matters’ Jamison Foser asks, “Now, maybe Fox didn’t intentionally remove the audience applause. Maybe Fox’s video used a direct feed from Obama’s microphone, and it simply didn’t pick up audience noise. But if Fox didn’t intentionally try to make Obama look silly, why did it choose a 2-minute clip — out of a 32-minute speech — that portrayed Obama looking silently around the room, seemingly for no reason?”

Trivial you say? NO,  Just another reason to hate Faux Noise...

The FOX "News" suckers will always believe it, because it's what they want to believe. Like a religious zealot, they are predisposed to discard facts which disagree with their preconceived notions.

Obama's rather predictable speech received tepid applause at best.

He wants to take us down the road to... One World Order, One World Currency, and One World Government.

He likely will be remembered as the first Post American President.

And the world turns.

There is so much ridiculous crap on faux news. I can hardly believe anyone watches it. They will do anything they can to try to make our President appear bad. It's scary, when one powerful and rich man can control fox news and the crap that other's believe as truth.

What concrete evidence is there that Obama wants a single world currency or a single world government? (I'm not going to argue about "One World Order" because that could mean almost anything.)

Infidel, just today I left a comment on Lindas blog about One World Order. My fanatic religious father studied about that subject and I remember him always talking about it and End Times. That was 40 years ago! Is it coming or not? Its all a bunch of sci-fi if you ask me...

World order? All I'm seeing at the moment is "whirled ordure" -- since the Rand Paul thing "hit the fan".....:-)

Friend of ours son was in Iraq and signed up to back. He left last Saturday. He said they are not finished there and are doing good things that we never hear about.
He couldn't say much more but knowing how Obama and his associates are anti-military you could "see" that through he tepid applause. Gloves or not that was a very unenthusiastic applause.

Sue - Do some checking on you tube (or elsewhere).. Illuminati is a good start.

You are correct t has some biblical connotations. However there is more to it. It's also a bout the unseen powers behind the scenes that control U.S.and worldwide financial markets etc.

I posted some stuff a while back I could dig it up for you if you are interested.

Interesting stuff.

And by the way, The "useless: United Nation is the attempt at the birth of one world order and the natural conclusion... one world government.

Like it or not Obama is just the most recent dupe being controlled by the invisible forces of power.

"He wants to take us down the road to... One World Order, One World Currency, and One World Government."

I'm interested to know how you know this. Has he shared this plan with you. Have you found it laid out on the WH's website?

When you write things like this, it would help us if you could back it up with evidence--a speech, for example, where Mr. Obama tells his audience that this is his plan, or some legislation he has proposed to accomplish his One World Government.

I understand that FOX News, which has been shown to be a sloppy, inaccurate, dishonest, and grossly biased cable news station, has promoted these ideas, but they have proved to be inaccurate.

There is quite often more than meets the eye. Sometimes you need to read between the lines.

It is (I admit) almost like reading the tea leaves. The accuracy of reading between the lines (and perhaps a bit of body language)holds a greater likelyhood of being accurate however.

It is often hard to do this when enamored with a persons star qualities. Something the "other media" has been drunk on since the One waltzed onto the stage.

And the world turns.

So you have no actual evidence at all to show us about Obama supporting a global currency or a global government. Only a series of assertions.

You've made a claim. I don't believe it. The burden of proof is on you to provide evidence for it. Since you can't, I will take it that the claim is not true.

Yep there are no intentions of using to UN to collect American money via Global Warming to redistribute around the world.
