But this time, it's more about Netflix CEO Reed Hastings than the president, although a few Obama jabs are thrown in for good measure.
Mr. Hastings assured a Canadian reporter that Americans were too "self-absorbed" to notice that Netflix charges us more than it does its Canadian customers.
But we weren't too self-absorbed to notice this clever fellow's "joke."
Hastings� claim of a joke gone awry is not believable when you read the original comment in context, and even as a joke it lacks enough realism to be amusing. But it is a view of Americans often stated by liberals. (Of the $255,450 of Hasting�s political donations, $224,700 has gone to Democrats.) It�s time that liberals who famously claim to be "the reality-based community" finally learn that their view of what Michelle Obama described as an "uninvolved, uninformed" America is informed by their own insularity and stinginess - not the facts. Conservatives give more blood, time and money including Reed Hastings, call for higher taxes so that money can be redistributed through the government. President Obama and Vice-President Biden�s 2008 tax returns show a similar contrast in what they demand of us and what they do - including Obama�s irony-rich demands that we should be our brother�s keeper when he, a millionaire, has an aunt living on the dole and a brother in abject poverty. I do agree with Mr. Hastings that there are many "self-absorbed" Americans out there, but they don�t represent a majority that would justify his original statement. Now that's telling 'em!

In a recent Rolling Stone Interview, President Obama said the Fox News "point of view" is "destructive" to America.
Obama: "[Laughs] Look, as president, I swore to uphold the Constitution, and part of that Constitution is a free press. We�ve got a tradition in this country of a press that oftentimes is opinionated. The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition � it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It�s a point of view that I disagree with. It�s a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it�s been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it�s that Fox is very successful."Hours later, his press secretary, man-boy Burton, praised Keith Olbermann, saying the President believes Olbermann and his MSNBC ilk are providing an invaluable service.
"And if you're on the left, if you're somebody like Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow or one of the folks who helps to keep our government honest and pushes and prods to make sure that folks are true to progressive values," Burton continued, "then he thinks that those folks provide an invaluable service."Yeah, right. Watch this "invaluable" service.

Obama's panicked cat fight with Fox is undignified and unpresidential.
And it shows how utterly tone-deaf he is towards the general populace. According to a recent Pew survey, Fox News -- in August, alone -- drew far more viewers than did CNN and MSNBC combined.
It would be nice if Obama could focus his attention on real problems, like the bailed-out GM making political contributions when it still owes billions to taxpayers. Or the ever-expanding number of Americans living in poverty.
Something, anything, more productive than childish swipes at Fox News, would be an improvement. Then again, maybe not. Perhaps it is best for everyone if his attention is exclusively focused on beating up a cable news channel.
