For the second time in just over a week, Fox News is coming under fire for
misusing old news footage. The latest flap is leading some people to charge that
the cable news network is intentionally misleading its audience, while Fox
claims a "production error."
Wednesday's incident occurred when Fox News host Gregg Jarrett mentioned that a
Sarah Palin appearance and book signing in Grand Rapids, Michigan had a massive
turnout. As footage rolled of a smiling and waving Palin amidst a throng of
fans, Jarrett noted that the former Republican vice-presidential candidate is
"continuing to draw huge crowds while she's promoting her brand-new book,''
adding that the images being shown were "some of the pictures just coming in to
us.... The lines earlier had formed this morning."
However, the video used in the segment was from a 2008 McCain/Palin campaign
rally.

[
During Fox News' coverage of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" kickoff Wednesday, host
Gregg Jarrett talked about the huge crowds the former Alaska governor and GOP
vice presidential candidate was drawing on the road.
The show, "Happening Now" aired in the afternoon, before the first signing took
place Wednesday night at the Woodland Mall Barnes & Noble in Kentwood. He
claimed Palin was "continuing to draw huge crowds" on her promotional tour,
which is a weird enough thing to say before said tour has even officially kicked
off.
But, as Think Progress points out, the footage used over the report is actually
from the 2008 presidential campaign. Doesn't look much like Woodland Mall,
anyway. You can even see McCain-Palin signs:

The current plans does death quite nicely.
Get sick, lose care, die.
Cancer treatment as an example, is down a lot.
It's hurt a stocks I own due to fewer people
getting care.

Why the artificial threshold of "start under the last president"?
Truman had a famous plaque on his desk that said, "The Buck Stops Here".
I find it ludicrous that the Bushbots blamed Clinton for 8 years then,
when Bush left office, claim everything is Obama's responsibility as if
your guy had nothing to do with anything and his 8 years of malfeasance
never occurred.
When Bush took office there was no Iraq Quagmire,
no Afghan Quagmire, no deficit and low unemployment.
By the time he left there was a record deficit, TWO
quagmire wars, the worst recession in generations
and a stock market that had actually LOST value.
Not that the Blame Obama First crowd would notice....
"The Obama recession is in full swing, ladies and gentlemen.
Stocks are dying, which is a precursor of things to come. This
is an Obama recession. Might turn into a depression."
Rush Limbaugh, November 6, 2008. Obama was the junior senator
from Illinois at the time.

Actually I agree that the Democrats are incapable of governing according
to the principles of our Constitution. What I am unwilling to do at this
point is to undermine Obama. Not until the economic crisis is resolved
one way or the other.
I do see the dangers of socialism and do not like them. I also
understand that a disintegrating federal government is an even bigger
danger. Perhaps you've not experienced a society in civil war and non-
functional central government. That is even worse that what we now have.
The economy is Obama's Dan Quayle.
> All of them started under Bush.
Close, Bush inherited many of these problems when they were infants
however his policies and actions brought them to fruition.
> Now then. What's Obama planning to do with the mess he inherited and
> when do you suppose he will start?
That is the real issue, how do we get out of this quagmire. We disagree
that Obama has done nothing. The economic disintegration was halted and
markets are stabilizing. This may be a temporary situation as the
fundamentals haven't change much however the use of shock therapy carries
its own dangers.
For instance allowing BofA, Chase, AIG and Goldman to collapse would have
made 1931 look like a walk in the park. There were no good options, this
situation will take decades to repair and I still have hopes that those
who are "too big to fail" will be broken up and those who have been
terribly mismanaged will be allowed to fail.

We disagree. Obama is being true to his election promises even if he's
altered course on some issues or changed his mind on others. America is
getting what it voted for. Neither of us like what America voted for but
don't mischaracterize actions taken as "nothing."

Indeed. A president who does nothing as unemployment
soars to new levels in his first year in office even as
a recession he inherited deepens is well described as
a failure.
Unless, of course, his last name is REAGAN.......
"The unemployment rate in the U.S. reached 10.8% in
December 1982 � higher than at any time in post-war era.
Job cutbacks were particularly severe in housing, steel
and automobiles. By September 1982, the jobless rate
reached 10.8%. Twelve million people were unemployed,
an increase of 4.2 million people since July 1981.
Unemployment rates for every major group reached post-
war highs, with men age 20 and over particularly hard hit."

>"The unemployment rate in the U.S. reached 10.8% in

Then of course you Leftards voted in the Obmassiah..and unemployment
rates are now up to 16%
Sucks to be you eh?
Laugh laugh laugh
Awww, has your echo chamber sprung a leak? Stick to your masturbatory
banter with the other brain-dead libtards. OBTW...<plonk>
Two wars, a great recession, a near collapse of the banking system, and
you're bitching that Obama hasn't fixed them all yet. He is a capable
guy but he's not superman. It took Bush several years to create this
mess. The least you can do is give Obama a few years before declaring
him a failure.
Hawke
What you will also find if you go back and look at the records is that
at that time Reagan was not very popular either. His numbers were low as
was the economy. His popularity went way up. Guess when? When the
economy got going again then he became a popular president. If Obama is
lucky enough to get this mess fixed when things turn around his
popularity will skyrocket. But with 10% unemployment anybody's
popularity is going to suffer.
Hawke
No, it sucks to be you, the old, unemployed, broke, mired in debt,
deadbeat, that lives in Taft. Everybody wants to be just like you, Ha Ha Ha.
Hawke
What would you have him do that he isn't already doing? He's spending
money to try to stimulate the economy. What more should he be doing? You
need to read some economics. A president can only do so much to make the
economy work. He's doing everything he can right now. If you have some
new ideas that that professional economists have never thought of you
should contact Washington. I'm sure they would be glad to get your insight.
Hawke
> Two wars, a great recession, a near collapse of the banking system, and
> you're bitching that Obama hasn't fixed them all yet.
lol, Obama has pushed it even worse!! Deficit spending in first 100
days dwarfs that of Bush's 8 years or all other presidents combined for
that matter. He campaigned saying he would not raise taxes for 95% of
the workforce. Yet, this current health bill has 17 new taxes and
increases in many more that will hit just about everyone. Obama said he
could stop inflation at 8% if he got his way. He did and unemployment
is now near 10% and rising. His excuse? Obama blames his failures on
Bush. Our own president cops out on his own words. Thats not strength,
thats not leadership. But it is a typical liberal who wont take
responsibility for his own words nor actions.
> What would you have him do that he isn't already doing? He's spending
> money to try to stimulate the economy.
No he isn't. Most of the billions in porkulus money won't be spent for
years to come. Only about 10% has been spent so far. Obama said it
needed to be spent immediately for infrastructure building to put people
to work. Fact is, such projects won't even start planning for some time
to come.
I'm afraid your logic is lost on the wingnut faithful.
Republicons and their paranoid followers cannot learn from or admit to
the mistakes.
They will simply hate Obama no matter what he does or stands for.
It is the last and sole purpose of the dying GOP.
The utter gaul of course being they have the audacity to blame him for
their mess and whine that he's not cleaning it up fast enough.
I think a lot of businesses have recently gotten rid of deadwood that they
should have fired years ago. Tired, cranky know it alls that spend a good
portion of the day bitching instead of working. After they get rid of these
goldbricks, they find production doesn't really suffer.
So if the roles were reversed, you dont think Bush would have to spend money
on fixing the shit he got handed?
Man you are totally brainless.

Took the rethugs about 10 years & bushco about 8 to do a real
good job.
NOW you expect Obama to find & wave a magic wand & just make
their years of hard work vanish?

BS.
OTOH We could have elected a progressive rather than a centrist ...
but that was not one of the final choices.

Not that I liked everything in his platform ....

At least we now have a Statesman as well as a smart
person.
Stupidity can only take wingers & rethugs so far ....

Nope. Spending isn't fixing a thing. Only about 10% of the porkulus
package has been spent and most won't be spent for years to come. The
idea of all this infrastructure building to provide jobs is a hoax that
you bought. Heck, the Government can't even tell us where the 10% has
been spent yet. Congressional districts in Virgin Islands and Puerto
Rico got stimulus money????????

Unemployment rose under Reagan for TWO YEARS.
Where was your talk about "failed presidency" then?
Modern Conservative: Someone who ignored unemployment
as it rose under Reagan, as it rose under Bush, as it
shrank under Clinton, as it rose under Bush, and who
now suddenly pretends to care about unemployment.

On various BBSs.
Snicker.
The moonbats should be real happy with Obey and Levin.
More blackmail from the socialist idiots.
Pay for and agree with our health care bill, or we tax your ass off for
Aghanistan.
Choose.
You weren't evem alive then,
what would you know?
"Two top Democrats say they want to impose a new tax on the wealthy to
finance any increase in U.S. troops for the Afghanistan war. "
Given that there are more Rich Democrats in Congress than Rich
Republicans..by a significant number...wont it be cool to have the
Democrats footing the bill for the war in Afghanistan?

Dare to dream.
What they are doing is legislating blackmail.
No more troops unless we get our bullshit medical legislation passed
(absolutely packed with pork and literally dozens of new bureaucracies)., or
if we have to send more troops, then we tax your asses off and put even more
people out of work.
What happened to Obama's promises to end the wars?
Reach across the isle and unite?
And don't kid yourself, the Democrats in the House and Senate wont pay a
dime extra either way, they have health care and permanent, untouchable
pensions.
It's a shell game.
