			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It isn&#8217;t often that <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/10/26/frank_we_are_trying_on_every_front_to_increase_the_role_of_government.html">Barney Frank tells the truth</a> as plainly as he did on The Ed Show yesterday, though he never fails to surround himself with lies, and this quote is no different:</p>
<blockquote><p>The right wing took control of government and ruined it, they gave it a bad reputation. <strong>Now that we are trying on every front to increase the role of government in the regulatory area, </strong>we run into this public opinion that says &#8216;hey those are the guys that screwed up Katrina&#8230;&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>So in Frank&#8217;s attempt to explain why more and more people don&#8217;t want the federal government taking over our private businesses, running the healthcare industry and meddling in our lives far more than they should, he blames the public&#8217;s skepticism on how Katrina was handled? Maybe someone should tell Barney that it has very little to do with Katrina and everything to do with out of control spending, bloated government budgets, the utter failure of every government entitlement program and the simple fact that no one trusts Congress to do <em>anything </em>in the interest of the people anymore.</p>
<p>You have to at least respect that Frank told us the truth about the government&#8217;s power grab, just like he told us <a href="http://blog.heritage.org/2009/07/31/barney-frank-public-option-is-best-way-to-single-payer/">his opinion on single payer</a>, which is more than you can say for the President. Wait, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAyan1fXCE">the president wants single payer too</a>?!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isn&#8217;t there something ironic about the latest Nobel Peace Prize Laureate declaring war on&#8230; Fox News?</p>
<p>This started long ago but when President Obama&#8217;s thugs all came out and accused Fox News of not being a news organization it became clear that we aren&#8217;t dealing with your average Chicago politician, this guy is much worse.  As <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0609/Obama_slams_Fox_News.html">Michael Calderon over at Politico</a> points out, way back in June President Obama complained to John Harwood of CNBC about the &#8220;&#8230;television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration&#8230;&#8221;.</p>
<p>President Obama is the most divisive, partisan politician to ever live in the White House and his closest advisors and cabinet members including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel">Rahm Emanuel</a>, <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28417.html">David Axelrod</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AEt180Wnls">Anita Dunn</a> have all tried to marginalize Fox News by labeling them as a wing of the GOP.</p>
<p>Are they the only ones that can&#8217;t see what they are doing to themselves? Attacking a giant like Fox News, who has more viewers than many of the other &#8216;news&#8217; channels combined, can&#8217;t be good for business. Besides, I thought we were beyond partisanship, I thought Barack Obama was the great moderate that would cross the aisle.</p>
<p>Our president is encouraging violence by prolonging his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, lying to the American public about his healthcare takeover plans and waging a war on Fox News.</p>
<p>How Nobel of him.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Wil</em>l President Obama ask Anita to apologize or, better yet, ask for her resignation following the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2009/10/11/intv.dunn.rs.cnn.cnn?iref=videosearch">incredibly stupid remarks</a> she made over the weekend about Fox News? Of course not, after all, this is Barack Obama. His list of comrades can do no wrong. Van Jones was a political sacrifice to appease those calling for his head (metaphorically, of course).</p>
<p><em>Should</em> President Obama ask for Anita&#8217;s resignation. Of course he should. Not just because she is incompetent and obviously not interested in bipartisan politics, but because every time someone from the White House speaks it tells us a little bit more about the sniveling, egotistical, insecure baby living in the White House.</p>
<p>I think we should have an open house at the White House. Kind of like media day at the super bowl. Have all of Obama&#8217;s &#8217;special advisors&#8217;, cabinet appointees and the rest of his staff (even the one that had to clean up the dog&#8217;s mess on Air Force One) come out to the White House lawn and answer questions that the American people have. No scripts, no Robert Gibbs or Anita Dunn, just real responses from all of Obama&#8217;s gang.</p>
<p>The more people we hear from, the more Americans will see the character of those running this country. The more Anita&#8217;s we hear from, the better off we&#8217;ll be in the long run.</p>
<p>President Obama, Anita should be done.</p>
