The Angry White Guy

Updated thought – It has been my experience that the closer you get to the target the harder they fight back… so if the Obama and he White House are going after Fox News to the degree they are going on CNN and starting a blog about it… then Fox News must be hitting dangerously close to the target, what’s the target? Government Corruption.

***********

This painfully childish administration that cries at the drop of a hat has declared war on Fox News as they are operating under the method of “Control the Message” and since that have most of the mainstream media is in the tank for them only Fox News is the lone hold out for objective journalism and criticism of policies and practices of this romper room of a White House. Oh sure the idiots on the left call it Faux News, Fake News, etc but this is easy to understand since all they listen to is MSNBC and CNN they wouldn’t know real news if it bite them on the ass.

Now get this the White House has set up a TAX PAYER funded website to attack Fox News… I don’t remember saying my taxpayer money could be spent to attack a private company. As Michelle Malkin called and I busted up… taxpayer-subsidized whining

Reality Check: Trying to Turn a Point of Pride into a Moment of Shame

Let’s take one from the White Blog…

RHETORIC: BECK SAID VANCOUVER LOST $1 BILLION WHEN IT “HAD THE OLYMPICS.” Glenn Beck said, “Vancouver lost, how much was it? they lost a billion dollars when they had the Olympics.” [Transcript, Glenn Beck Show, 9/29/09]

REALITY: VANCOUVER’S OLYMPICS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL 2010. Vancouver will host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games from February 12 – 28, 2010 and March 12-21, 2010, respectively. [Vancouver2010.com, accessed 9/29/09]

THE TURTH
Glenn Beck caught this mistake and corrected the next morning, but the White House made no mention of that fact…
Beck on the Radio

PAT: It’s about the fact that you said Vancouver lost a ton of money and the event hasn’t even happened yet. That’s what it’s about.

GLENN: Yeah, yeah. Calgary instead of Vancouver. I’m sorry for that one. I stand corrected. But when looking at it from a financial perspective, it’s not really a two week event, is it? It takes years and years and years. Ask the people in Vancouver if spending on the Olympics has started yet. It’s kind of like Medicare on Social Security. You know, they aren’t tens of trillions in debt yet, but any honest observer with a calculator can figure out that that’s just a matter of time. What doesn’t make any sense, I mean, if you are the White House, why would you draw attention to the Vancouver games, you know?

PAT: Well, because. Because you want the truth out about them.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: You said they were losing a fortune. And they haven’t even had the games there.

GLENN: All right. Well, you asked for it. So well, you didn’t. But at least the White House asked for the details on the Vancouver games. So let’s give you the details on the Vancouver games, which again haven’t happened yet. The Vancouver Olympics budgeted $175 million for security. According to the Vancouver Sun, that number may be $800 million higher. British Columbia’s auditor general reported that British Columbia, quote, has not fully disclosed the risks associated with the cost and revenue projections, end quote. He says they didn’t include, quote, what he and two previous auditors believe should be counted as Olympic related costs. The billion dollar sea to sky highway improvements, the billion dollar trade and convention center and the $2 billion Canada line. That’s close to $4 billion that they just kind of shuffled off onto other books. Plus the $600 million the government admits to.

PAT: Okay, but those numbers don’t

GLENN: Hold on just a second. I’m not entirely done here. Also missing from the budget, the $300 million Olympic bonus that unionized government employees got for signing a four year contract that ends after the games. I just, I just love these unions. By the way, that contract ends right after the election, too. Transportation to the event, which is another unaccounted for $250 million, Canadians are also on the hook for the Olympic village for a billion dollars. Its original budget was less than $200 million. They thought they could make the money back by selling everything as condos after the games. Yeah, guess how well those condo sales strategies are working out for them. Just interest on the money for all the unsold units could cost Canada $48 million. Every single year. So far we’re up to over $6 billion in unaccounted for costs. The original budget was $1 1/2 billion. Also remember it doesn’t include everything. There’s still almost a year before the games actually start, but, you know, don’t worry. They planned for this, you know. They have a contingency fund. $66.8 million. Unfortunately they’ve already spent 98% of that money.

So it’s true, Beck did say Vancouver and not Calgary… he did correct it and the White House makes no mention of this, nor does the White House make mention that Vancouver is already deep-deep in debt and way over budget for the 2010 Olympics to the tune of $6,000,000,000.00 with a year yet to go before the games are even held. Did the White House tell you that? No? Not surprising.

So where is the rhetoric now? Beck or Berry? I think the whiny crybabies in the oval office.

The short of it is the last time a White House froze out a single media outlet was Richard Nixon in the 1970′s White House boycott of the New York Times… something to think about, Nixon resigned in disgrace and like them or not The New York Times is still around.
