President Obama Leaves Republicans Whimpering After Conquering Fox News
President Barack Obama left Republicans whimpering in the cor- ner after an interview where he con- quered Fox News.
Pres. Obama romped through the Fox News Sunday interview like a hot knife through butter.
The President tore apart the Re- publican rationale for obstructing his Supreme Court nominee:
WALLACE: Have you made a commitment to Garland that you’re going to stick by him through the end of your term? Or perhaps, let’s say Hillary Clinton is the newly elected president; would you pull him and let her make the pick?
PRES. OBAMA: As more sena- tors meet with him, I think they will recognize the qualities of this individ-
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
ual.
What I think we can’t have is a sit-
uation in which the Republican Sen- ate simply says, “Because it’s a Democratic president, we are not going to do our job, have hearings, and have a vote.”
WALLACE: But —
PRES. OBAMA: Because if that happens, Chris, then it is almost im- possible to expect that the Democrats — let’s say a Republican president won — that the Democrats wouldn’t say the exact same thing. They’ll say, “Let’s wait for four years, and we’ll take our chances on the next presi- dent.”
Pres. Obama shot down and de- stroyed the GOP’s Hillary Clinton email conspiracy theory, and quickly tamed the Fox News paper tiger.
After part one of the interview aired, Fox News Sunday went to Karl Rove, who tried his whimper- ing best to revive numerous bogus Republican Pres. Obama scandals, “He should have stepped away from this and not commented on it. But he did. He was offering the first defense of Hillary Clinton. It was uninten- tional, and it really wasn’t important information, because as you know, there is classified and then will is classified. It was really inappropriate I think for the chief executive of the United States to comment on an on-
going FBI investigation. Secondly, I don’t feel parti-cularly comforted by his follow-up which was, of courses, it’s not going to be political because that’s not how the Justice Depart- ment operates. Well, the American people have a great deal of concern about how this particular administra- tion’s Justice Department operates. After all, Lois Lerner is out there free and clear after clearly abusing her powers at the IRS. And this ad- ministration started off by dropping the investigation and charges that had been filed against the Black Pan- ther Party which was on videotape harassing voters at the polls in Philadelphia in 2008 and was all po- litical.”
Rove tried to tie together the bogus IRS scandal, the more bogus Black Panther Party claim, and the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Pres. Obama tore through a Fox News interview like he was talking to himself in the mirror and all Karl Rove could answer with is debunked Republican conspiracies.
The Pres. Obama / Fox News Sunday interview revealed the tooth- less nature of conservative media. Fox News talked a big game about in- terviewing the President, but when they got the opportunity, the network never stood a chance against Presi- dent Barack Obama.
Pres. Obama More Popular Than Presidential Candidates, Poll Shows
President Barack Obama spoke at the University of Chicago Law School on April 7, in Chicago, Illinois.
A new poll shows that
President Barack Obama’s approval rating has increased and he is viewed more favorably than any of the presidential can- didates, which could boost his influence on November’s general election.
For the first time since 2013, half of those surveyed said they approve of what President Obama is doing in office, according to the Associated Press-GfK poll. Approval ratings increased for issues including foreign affairs, immigration and the economy. People were slightly more optimistic
about their financial situa- tions and Pres. Obama’s leadership of the economy, the AP reported, but 54% still characterized the econ- omy as poor.
The survey also found that 53% of respondents had a fa- vorable view of Pres. Obama, more than any of the presidential candidates. Democrat Bernie Sanders was next with 48% favorabil- ity, followed by Democrat Hillary Clinton (40%) and Republican John Kasich (34%). Republicans Ted Cruz and Donald Trump were tied with 26% favora- bility.
