Question Obama Whines that Troops Watch FOX News!

Atlas Shrugs: Obama Whines that Troops Watch FOX News...VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!

See the clip of Obama whining to the press that everywhere he goes the troops are watching Fox News. However, obviously it's the troops' desire to watch it because American Forces Radio & Television Service offers all cable channels and mainstream media!

Does this man whine about everything??? Just wondering!

You'd think someone who wants to be President of the World wouldn't have his knickers in a knot about such a trivial matter.

He's joking, not whining. And, the troops watch Fox overseas because its the only thing available to him.

Well, when they've got nothing else to skewer him with...

The republicans should be happy. John McCain is out doing a grocery store tour, and it's going quite well I hear.
Tomorrow he'll be at Giant down the street, ROFLOL.

Well, McCain ate at a German restaurant for lunch today. I wonder if he ate a bagel yesterday.

How do you know he's joking? Obviously a lot of our troops prefer to watch Fox. They are also offered CNN and others. Here's a link from American Forces Radio & Television Service.

I read the transcript at Time's blog, Swampland, written by Karen Tumulty. Jerusalem to Berlin - Swampland - TIME

He was talking to the pool of reporters that were accompanying him. At least they got the joke.

If you watched the clip, it's said that they do have the other networks available. They just don't bother to watch them.

Kudos to our troops for their good judgment!

You point is taken. You accused Obama of "whining". It's a false accusation and that's the problem.

He sure sounds like he's whining! He's upset that our troops are watching Fox News. Period. Mr. O has a way of 'sounding off' and plays the part very well. He whined about the New Yorker front page too, when, in fact, from what I read from the liberals on here it's something that the New Yorker does to just about everyone. But he took issue at it and whined. The problem is he needs to put on his big boy pants and get over it!

He's not upset one little bit. I didn't like the New Yorker either. H.L. Menken once said that you'll never go broke understimating the stupidity of the American people. I feel that many incurious minds would glance at the cover and say, "Aha! I knew it.'

I really hate to disappoint you, but, Obama was simply making a joke. There is nothing here for you to be upset about.

Glad you know him so well. And I wasn't the one upset -- remember, it was Mr. O who made the comment? Maybe he wants a little whine with that cheese!

So little faith in the American spirit.

I'm shocked that B.O. would claim he stands before the Germans as a proud American, given our level of stupidity.
