Most of the media has been totally in the Marxist Democrat-Socialist tank 
for a couple of decades already. This President and his Democrat-Socialists 
can do no wrong according to most of them!

Media In Alternate Reality On Obama Failures

Posted 09/19/2012 06:53 PM ET

Election 2012: Hell breaks loose all over the world, the economy stinks, 
and we're going broke. But the president parties, yuks it up with Letterman 
and skips intelligence briefings. All the while, the press sees no evil.

Rod Serling called the TV fantasyland he made famous a "middle ground 
between light and shadow," a "wondrous land of imagination." Like the 
"Twilight Zone," in the alternate dimension of the "ObamaMedia," the 
unearthly laws of physics never allow the buck to stop on the president's 
desk.

American weakness, which in recent months has become obvious to enemy and 
friend alike, has invited aggression and sparked mayhem from the Mideast to 
Europe to Asia in recent days.

It only began with the killing of our ambassador to Libya and three other 
Americans, spreading to Egypt where Islamists invaded the embassy and 
ripped down the stars and stripes. (Until the Obama era, of course, Egypt 
was our ally and Libya had become dormant after being pressured into 
abandoning its nuclear program.)

Subsequently, anti-American violence has sprung up in Pakistan, where 
Islamists broke into the U.S. consulate in Karachi. Rioters shouting "death 
to America" have clashed with security forces outside a U.S. base in 
Afghanistan and near the U.S. embassy in Indonesia.

In Tunis, thousands of demonstrators have set the U.S. embassy afire. Fifty 
Chinese demonstrators have attacked the U.S. ambassador's car, ripped off 
its flag and blocked his entrance into our embassy.

Obviously this is no reaction to a YouTube video but a swelling of contempt 
for a weakened superpower.

Beyond mobs in the streets, the Washington Times reports that the National 
Counter-Terrorism Center has told Congress that soon-to-be-nuclear Iran's 
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps "poses a threat beyond the immediate 
region" � with that threat extending to the U.S. homeland.

With apparently no one paying attention, President Obama is ending joint 
ground-force operations between NATO and Afghan personnel, shattering the 
illusion that we have a victory strategy of training their forces to be 
able to defend against Taliban aggression.

And now, on top of all that, China may go to war with Japan over disputed 
islands � as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, in a speech Wednesday to some 
of the 2.3 million-strong People's Liberation Army, assured them that "our 
rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region is not an attempt to contain China."

Our Pentagon chief kowtowing to the Red Chinese Army? Maybe this really is 
the "Twilight Zone."
