Why wouldn’t Obama feel nothing but contempt for the press? They gave in to him unconditionally, refused to do their job, and ran cover for him throughout his career. Obama sees the press not as the protector of the public’s right to know, but as part of his team that should do his bidding unconditionally. He also is immature, arrogant, thin skinned, egotistical and narcissistic. There is something about him that reminds one of a Third World dictator who gives himself titles and campaign ribbons for battles that he never fought and university degrees for subjects he never studied.
by Josh Gerstein and Patrick Gavin
One of the enduring story lines of Barack Obama’s presidency, dating back to the earliest days of his candidacy, is that the press loves him.
“Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me,” Obama joked last year at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
But even then, only four months into his presidency, the joke fell flat. Now, a year later, with another correspondents’ dinner Saturday night likely to generate the familiar criticism of the press’s cozy relationship with power, the reality is even more at odds with the public perception.
Obama and the media actually have a surprisingly hostile relationship — as contentious on a day-to-day basis as any between press and president in the past decade, reporters who cover the White House say.
Reporters say the White House is thin-skinned, controlling, eager to go over their heads and stingy with even basic information. All White Houses try to control the message. But this White House has pledged to be more open than its predecessors, and reporters feel it doesn’t live up to that pledge in several key areas:

Maybe love has faded and hostility has entered the picture, but the corrupt msm is still covering for the sob. Still carrying his water. Still failing to cover the important stories that reveal who he really is.
It’s a bad marriage like Hillary and Bill.
fck them all.

This is how 3rd World Progressives treat the press. They will never turn on him. They love him and like an abused spouse, they will make excuses.

Nobody is illegal
Nobody should fill out forms
Nobody needs to follow laws
‘Cause they are outdated norms
The immigrants on every corner
Are just waiting to be hired
It’s the land of opportunity
So shut up and be inspired
Don’t try to impose on them
Your notions of sovereignty
You know I might get their votes
So I’ll grant them amnesty
Yes, paying for their services
Might impose more tax on you
But my party is in power
So what are you going to do?
You can see the illegals when you walk down any town boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that better know to blend in
People who wanted more money and so in they came
Ask the government to stop it, and you will ask it in vain
Nobody is illegal
Nobody should fill out forms
Nobody needs to follow laws
‘Cause they are outdated norms
And those who think we should try
To protect some of our own space
Will be vilified and accused
With specious cries of “Race!”
