Obama Held Private Meeting With Prominent Columnists Prior to Libya Speech… Shockingly, Their Reviews Were Positive…
Lapdogs.
(Washington Examiner) — President Obama’s sales pitch, of sorts, for the war in Libya was a bit more personal for some of the country’s most prominent columnists.
The president made a surprising pit stop before his address to the nation on Libya Monday evening, meeting with a group of newspaper columnists during their briefing with Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, sources confirmed.
Attending the impromptu visit were the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, Washington Post’s David Ignatius, Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol and Doyle McManus of the L.A. Times.
The reviews that followed were generally positive. Ignatius said Obama’s address offered “clarity” on the Libyan conflict and Kristol wrote that the president had “come a long way” in embracing the “American foreign policy mainstream.”

Kristol can go pound sand!
He pushed McRINO on everyone as well during last election every chance he got…I’ve never cared for him for more years than I can count.
How disappointing re Bill Kristol. I thought he had something akin to a brain.
Did they sniff his backside before they began wagging their tails?
journolist..
Can the MTA get a train to take obama and biden somewhere hot and isolated forever?
Kristol is an idiot!
Smoochie smoochie.
/I’ll never use “MWAH” again without a slight shudder
What have they got on Kristol, you think?
.
Boycott the Weekly Standard – Run by ruling class phoney conservative elites.
Bill Kristol is a douche.
Pravda seen nodding in approval.
The people who were involved in this private meeting cannot be referred any titles other
than “media whores”, “paid front men” ” complete frauds” just like the guy they’re writing about.
this information did come out because one or more of them still had a little bit of conscience.
Is this not the same tactics employed by great dictators Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Chairman Mao?
It certainly eliminates freedom of the press.
I’m looking forward to some McCarthyism real soon….
At what point does ‘news’ simply become ‘propaganda’?
Oh, and be sure to send kneepads to the involved, wouldn’t want them to suffer…
Yet further proof that “healing Kristols” are nonsense.
What fun to be happy about who WASN’T invited!
What? FOX and Zip weren’t invited? Good, that’s why we turn to you.
As for the Weekly Standard, they seem to have been softening lately. They’re out.
Sounds like it was a good ole circle jerk and obama was the pivot man. A position he has held his entire life.
Chrissy Matthews must have been so jealous to not be on Obama’s pole!
This is the worst kind of sleaze by Obozo…
Controlling the message … it isn’t enough that he carefully crafts his messages and them practices in front of mirrors with his teleprompter, so he can go out and deliver a carefully crafter oratorical performance made of lies and innuendos ..
Obozo won’t “meet the press” … like other Presidents have done, he likes to keep a low profile so he cannot be challenged.. it’s amazing the so many Americans still buy anything this guy says… but it is to the lasting shame of those who participate in these controlled press releases … they are tools of the biggest political LIAR in US history!
Awwww come on you people. Someone has to tell them what to write. They sure can’t do any “real” news reporting without knowing what to say. Now can they??
Do you want them to do some real work (investigating)?? Then they wouldn’t be any better than we are.
I just feel so sorry for those people. NOT!!
He’s worse than a used car salesman. Totally full of BS and clueless, gullible people just lap it up.
rofl, using nation’s self important columnist as a focus group on whether the rest of the nation will like the speech. Obama contradicted himself in the same speech and they didn’t pick up on it?
These are the Journolista’s that try time after time to frame the debate in favor of our communist president to no avail. We are on to you, and will ignore any of your talking points as lies, and attempts to co opt the debate. We will listen to your cry’s as your circulation ebbs and becomes another failure in the history of the press.
