Obama: “If you’re a fan of Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh, try reading the Huffington Post”

This is from Obama’s commencement address at the University of Michigan today:

We all know that Obama demonized his way into the White House by beating on George W Bush every chance he got. He’s done little in his administration since then but demonize his opponents, whether it be AIG, the wealthy, health insurance companies, or Fox News. Speaking of Fox News, Newsbusters has a great article on this, pointing out that even though our ‘centrist’ president suggests that we should all listen to opposing views (which is what many of us do anyway, that’s how we know they are so wrong!), he hasn’t exactly practiced what he has preached:

Really?

Is THAT why he basically boycotted Fox News during his campaign, has largely boycotted it since being elected, and has had numerous members of his Administration INCLUDING HIMSELF bad-mouth the network as not being a news organization?

To give readers an idea of how Senator and President Obama have “listened to opposing views,” let’s look at a smattering of NewsBusters headlines from the past two years:

Should anyone associated with those headlines and stories be telling college graduates they need to “actively seek out information that challenges [their] assumptions and [their] beliefs?”

Well, certainly not with a straight face!

Also, if you want to hear Obama defend big government and espouse the problems of “too little government”, then look no further than here.
