Promises, Promises: Obama Pledges Unkept

The media is controlled by corporations. Corporations are not liberal. The corporations look after their own interests (i.e., generating profits for their shareholders). When the media pays lip service to social issues, there is always a corporate agenda behind it.

Really doesn't matter WHO owns them, it's what the reporters and anchors believe. I posted that chart earlier in this thread. In another thread I pointed out how only one network covered both Brown's and Coakley's speech after they MA election. 2 other networks covered ALL of Coakley's speech but less than half of Brown's speech. The other three didn't cover the special election until the next day. That's bias.

When George Bush ran the media tripped over each other trying to report on his college days and National Guard service. Dan Rather even went so far as to knowing report on fake documents. Yet only one network bothered to report on Obama's connection to Rezko. And when Obama stated that the reason he voted against legislation that supported a fetal rights after it survived childbirth because other legislation was attached, only one network reported that legislation in it's entirety that should there was no legislation attached. This is a bill that passed in the U.S. Senate 99-0 but in Illinois Obama voted against it 3 times. That's media bias.
 
Now, back to THIS WEEKS debate, I sure would like answers to this.

He promised to put the Health Care debate on C-SPAN. He didn't do it. How is that trying. Obviously since you are saying 8 years you are blaming George Bush. Please tell us how George Bush prevented Obama from airing the health care debate. He promised he would go line by line on each bill and remove pork. He didn't do it.The Stimulus bill contained almost 9,000 pork items. How is that trying. Tell us how George Bush forced him to sign the stimulus bill full of Pork. He promised no more politics as usual. He didn't follow through. Instead he used a bribe in Nebraske and Louisiana among others to secure a vote. Not only that, he signed a deal with Unions exempting them from taxes on their health care plans from 2013-2018 while other hardworking Americans still have to pay. How is that trying. Please tell me how George Bush forced him to do that. He promised that the health care bill would be put online for all Americans to read before it was voted on. He didn't do it. How is that trying.

Please tell us how anything George Bush did prevented him from doing any of these things.

I think people are actually "skeered" to even try and answer TXgolfer's questions. They are simply lost for words.

And txgolfer, change takes time. Especially with undoing the mess that Shrub made. Which is eight years worth!
At least he's trying.
