Team Obama in War with Reporters?

When Obama was campaigning back in 2007 he said, if elected, his team would run the most transparent White House in the nation's history.  Everything they would do would be right there for everyone to examine.  There would be peace, love, joy, trust and mutual respect between Obama and the (mostly) liberal MSM reporters who make up the White House Press Corp.

Now, five years later some are saying that the Obama White House is incredibly secretive.  And now if the Press doesn't ask the questions that Team Obama wants asked OR if they dare to disagree with Obama's view on some item...they can be in trouble.

Last week, one of the most famous White House reporters of all time, Bob Woodward, got sideways with the White House...and now, finally, some folks are saying, "Who is this Obama guy?"

The brouhaha between journalist Bob Woodward and the White House appears to be dying down, but it offers a window into the unhealthy antagonism that exists between the West Wing and the mainstream media.

Like previous administrations, Obama's advisers are trying to force-feed the press corps with their version of reality, and they sometimes give the impression they don't respect the men and women who cover the presidency. Their tactics include bullying, hassling, and, yes, threatening reporters in an effort to get them to back down from their stories or their lines of inquiry. The threats can include warnings that a reporter will lose whatever access he or she has to Obamaworld. In other cases, administration figures or Obama's allies outside government threaten to publicly challenge a reporter's credibility, sometimes with the accompanying use of foul or insulting language.

I've had my share of dustups with White House officials, as have many other journalists from major mainstream news organizations that cover the White House. It's par for the course to be yelled at or confronted by an angry aide. Over the years, and through covering five presidencies, I've learned that such tensions go with the territory. But the problems of incivility and mistrust are getting worse and they go beyond the run-in that Sperling had with Woodward, a respected reporter who helped to break the Watergate story in the mid 1970s, and who has written many books and articles since then about the internal workings of the presidency.

To many White House reporters, the incident was a familiar example of White House excess in selling its message. Another concern in the press corps is that, beyond the Woodward-Sperling fuss, the Obama White House is using every opportunity to bypass the mainstream media, but unlike its predecessors the Obama team has been particularly successful at it. Part of the reason is that the MSM today have relatively low credibility with the public, and the media's objections about lack of access don't resonate with everyday people the way they used to.

Just as important, Team Obama is adept at using new ways of communicating, such as Facebook, Twitter, and other social media, in addition to its E-mail list of millions of supporters, to transmit its message unfiltered by the MSM.

But in the process, something important has been lost. Journalists who cover Obama today don't really know him, no matter how many of the president's speeches, news conferences and activities they attend. They have virtually no relationship with him, so they don't know how his mind works and what priorities he really has on budget cuts and many other topics. White House staffers don't adequately fill in the blanks as they did in the past, such as under Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. As a result, much of the Obama presidency remains murky.

"Obama presidency remains murky"?  Was that just said by U.S. News and World Reports? 

Mistrust, incivility, force-feeding the press corps, bullying those who disagree?....this all starts to sound like a story we have seen before...in 1930's Germany.

I have said all along that I don't believe Obama is the Antichrist, but that, instead, he is a foreshadowing of the Antichrist.

He comes into power during a difficult time, promising hope and change and then blames our problems on fat-cats, greedy businesses and those who "aren't willing to pay their fair share."  He next blames violence on guns and now does a 180 on gay marriage.  Who is this guy?  Does anyone really know?  He hasn't submitted a budget in 5 years and simply continues to insist that we keep giving him more money to pay the 48,000,000 who are on Food Stamp Program, the millions on unemployment and the millions living in "free" housing....and I'm guessing MOST of those folks are Obama voters.

What do you think MAY happen if a really big national catastrophe were to happen...like 9/11 times 10?  Or huge earthquake?  Or huge default on debt which leads to huge panic?  Or huge drought that sends food prices skyrocketing and sets off riots across the country??

Do you have ANY DOUBT that Team Obama would use the excuse of "restoring order" to maybe put off elections, close up transparency even more, seize guns for 'national security' reasons, seize gold to stave off collapse, and claim that ANYONE who didn't cooperate with HIS IDEAS were to be deemed "enemies of the state"?

Do you think Germany just fell into Hitler because they were stupid?  Ummm...even if you do believe that....look around you and ask yourself how smart you believe the typical U.S voter to be?

We all need to be asking Christ to return....THY KINGDOM COME!...and then we need to be VERY BUSY making disciples to all who come into our sphere and are open to hearing the Truth of Jesus Christ.
