Friends, let me start this way today. President Barack Obama in an interview with Rolling Stones Magazine released on Tuesday slammed Fox News by calling the media outlet "destructive" for America. In the Oval Office interview, conducted by co-founder and publisher Jann Wenner, the president is asked about Fox News Channel:

Wenner: “What do you think of Fox News? Do you think it’s a good institution for America and for democracy?” 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.””
Mr. Prez, the whole world knows that you swore to uphold the Constitution and, the whole world also knows that you haven’t thus far. You said that you would preserve and protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.

The U. S. has considered extreme Socialism, Marxism and Communism, as mortal enemies of the nation

For about one hundred years, The U. S. has considered extreme Socialism, Marxism and Communism, as mortal enemies of the nation, to the point of fighting wars and losing many American lives to protect the Nation from them; yet, you have filled the White House and your administration with some of the “best” examples of the followers of those “philosophies”, in addition to tax evaders, etc. Moreover, the country is full of illegal immigrants (that is, people who have broken the laws of the country) many of whom are also considered criminals where they came from.

Mexican drug-cartel criminals are running rampant into U. S. territory

As if that were not enough, Mexican drug-cartel criminals are running rampant into U. S. territory, attacking American citizens, burning their homes, destroying their properties and terrorizing their families. Not only you refuse to protect those American citizens, you are attacking the legally and duly elected official of the State of Arizona on top of it, for stepping into the federal shoes and trying to do your job. Would you be kind enough to explain to this poor, un-enlightened simple peasant (that is, not a member of the Elite), how is that you’re upholding the Constitution? By the way, I didn’t buy into your attempt to make us believe that you are protecting Fox News, we know of the union-like mobster tricks your administration is using to try to silence anyone who dares disagree with your radical agenda. I would have hoped that after close to twenty months in power, you would have learned to stop lying to the American people.

America’s favourite News Channel

As far as Fox News being opinionated, it has been my experience that they back everything they say with facts (unlike anyone in your administration) and, the few times they have made an error, they have had the testicular fortitude to admit it and apologise for it. No wonder it has become America’s favourite News Channel. If you want to try to gain some of the confidence of some of the people, you could start by showing your true birth certificate and other documents which have been requested of you. Frankly, I don’t think you can pull a “Clinton 1994” but it would be a good way to try. In conclusion, I have never seen anything more destructive for America than your administration. Thankfully, you haven’t had the time to complete your Hitler/Stalin-style “fundamental transformation of America,” that you promised the American “peasants” during your campaign for the presidency, so there’s November 2nd 2010, to protect the Constitution and the America of the Founding Fathers, before you do away with both. Incidentally, “beware of the ides of March” Julius Caesar, you have your own “Brutus” nearby. Talk to you November 3rd!
