In Defiant, Arrogant Obama, Media Face Monster They Made

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

How does President Obama, a man of such keen intelligence, with such promise to "change" America, find himself in so much serious trouble?

From the IRS targeting conservatives to the continued confusion over what happened at Benghazi to provoking a battle with the Associated Press by subpoenaing phone records that could involve as many as 100 reporters, what went wrong?

The answer is simple: arrogance, aided and abetted by a compliant, adoring "news" media.

CNN's Roland Martin urged the president to "go gangsta" on conservatives who wouldn't confirm his political appointments.

Supporters such as MSNBC's Rev. Al Sharpton publicly said they will not criticize Obama — on anything.

Though Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., called the then-15.9% black unemployment rate "unconscionable," she refused to publicly criticize the president. Politicians, Waters candidly told a Detroit town hall audience on unemployment, want to get re-elected:

"If we go after the president too hard, you're going after us. When you tell us it's all right and you unleash us and you're ready to have this conversation, we're ready to have the conversation."

So why shouldn't Obama feel that he operates under different, special rules, and can do so without risking loss of support?
