John King is an absolute idiot..

This fucked up article written by King points out how that not one of the goals of Obama’s Presidential State of the Union Address has been met..

Writes a few lines about Republican discord and how deep devisions between parties will still exist and continues to be problematic for Obama’s agenda for months to come..

Yet he doesn’t address why not one of his goals ( Job Program for i.e) has been accomplished.. Maybe John because of the fucking brutal insanity of the tearepublican controlled house..Maybe you should point out how these idiots would rather plunge or country into a complete disaster rather than see any legislation pass which might enhance Obama’s legacy..

making inroads in numerous areas that had been traditionally Republican - John King felt the most important point and most important lesson from the reelection results was that none of this in any way, shape or form represented a shift to the left. He emphasized and emphasized over and over again that the Obama Administration and the Democrats must not alienate these independent voters by pursuing left-wing policies - because that is not what they are voting for. Conversely, whenever Republicans would win in traditional Democratic strongholds - John King always saw a sea change. When Scott Brown won Teddy's old seat - Massachusetts was once again rejecting liberalism and maturing in its worldview.

... I don't watch much CNN anymore (Faux Lite). And he is one reason why.
What a total corporate media lackey.
