From my email box to you: An example of what the NY Times is doing to protect Obama's legacy.

We may finally have a reason why President Obama seems to have no clue about how Americans are feeling these days.
It was a year ago when White House spokesman Jay Carney told CNN’s Brian Stelter that the president doesn’t watch much cable news, instead preferring the old fashioned newspapers.
A year later the New York Times published this interesting tidbit.
In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino.

Stelter caught the quote, tweeted it to his followers and asked if President Obama needed to watch more cable news.
Interestingly, after Stelter’s tweet picked up steam, the Times reportedly removed the quote from its article without a trace. Except, of course, for inconvenient screenshots. The new paragraph reads as follows:
Mr. Obama argued that while there were potentially threats that would merit the kind of investment of lives and money equivalent to that made in the Iraq war, the Islamic State does not pose an existential threat to the United States and therefore the response should be measured. The United States needs to take on the group, in part to defend allies in the region, he said, but it should not be an all-out war. Moreover, he added, part of the group’s strategy is to draw the United States into a broader military entanglement in the region. A sustained but limited campaign may be slow and politically unsatisfying, but ultimately will be more successful, he contended.
  Social media had a lot to say about the whole episode.

  1. I don't want people who want to take my country back. I want people who want to take my country forward.

    Thank you President Obama, and welcome President Clinton.

    1. And your comment is what the election is about. And "forward" to you must mean a surrender of American sovereignty to the U.N.; a borderless society that has no control over who comes into this country, what they believe, whether or not they will be loyal to Constitutional values, whether they will pledge allegiance to the United States of America, a 30m hour work week, healthcare that continues to rage, out of control, and a Islamic terror movement that promises to kill and injure well into the future. Who knows, the future for Dems may include the end of Israel and Taiwan and the ascension of China as the #1 Superpower in the world of evil doers.
