BO vs. Fox

The White House is making some serious blunders as it tries to vilify Fox News Channel. Perhaps they are trying to use Chicago style tactics against those that do not line up behind their agenda. In reality, all they are doing is demonstrating their lack of confidence in their own ideas and their own staff. It appears that they cannot defend their agenda or appointments but instead must resort to political ploys to quiet their opponents.

What better way to demonstrate the benefits of your agenda than to debate them with others of differing opinions? Why not have a representative from the White House go on Fox to debate and defend their proposal? They should go on O’Reilly, Beck, and Hannity which gives them the perfect audience. Those that do not agree will perhaps be convinced to support their proposals. This should be desirable for the administration unless they feel that their agenda does not hold up to debate.

More and more I see the administration hiding from their own proposals. It seems the less they let the public know about the details the better for them. In fact, it is exactly their strategy to minimize the dissemination of the details of their plans for us. We are supposed to be like sheep lining up and not asking any questions. The problem with Fox is that they are asking the questions and this threatens BO. They are unveiling the details to the public and this frustrates the White House. As the specifics come out BO’s popularity declines.

What’s worse for BO is that Fox is attracting record number of viewers, thanks to him. As he tries to silence his opposition he is in fact doing the exact opposite. People wonder what they are saying on Fox that has BO so riled up so they tune in to find out. BO would have done much better never singling out Fox but now that he has, he must face them directly. He has to confront the opposition or his popularity will continue to fade as people lose their confidence in him. People will assume he has something to hide.

The truth is BO and Rahm cannot defend their positions. Upon close scrutiny their ideas will be unpopular and will not pass. Their only chance is to keep us in the dark. Thank heavens for Fox which shines a bright light on their schemes.
