It's Waaay Too Much Like Chavez...

I've been disturbed about President Obama's attempts to simply "silence" anybody in the media who may dare to question him, or, worse yet (GASP!) - - DISAGREE with him.

He still has this very inconvenient thing called The United States Constitution, and the First Amendment, that prohibits him from entirely shutting-down the media he doesn't like.

But recall that, during the presidential campaign, when a local TV news anchor in Florida dared to ask VP nominee Joe Biden if the Obama/Biden economic plans were intended to make the U.S. more like a European socialist state, the campaign made it clear afterwards that the particular television station involved would "never again" have access to either candidates Obama and Biden, nor President Obama and Vice President Biden.

Now, in less that 7 weeks as President, Obama and his "team" have taken to personally attacking no less than three American media personalities who have dared to question or disagree. The White House plan to attack Rush Limbaugh is well known. But financial talk show host Jim Cramer of CNBC television (who is definetly non-political on his show) has been a target of the President, and so has CNBC TV's Rick Santelli (details HERE).



Cramer has offered his own response to the White House, and you can read it HERE.


But the really bad news here is that the President of the United States is behaving like the Dictator of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. Read the story of Dictator Chavez "cracking down" on media in his country that dares to question or disagree with him (story HERE) - - and consider the differences between Obama and Chavez.

The only thing standing in the way of Obama "going all the way Chavez" is the United States Constitution - - an "old, antiquated document" that has very little relevance to many Americans today
