Obama's declaration of war on Fox News Channel has most talking heads and political pundits scratching their heads in amazement. From across the political spectrum, the reactions have been everything from amazed to appalled. But no matter if they are on the left or right, the question has been the same from everyone, "WTH was he thinking?" Only the most servile of the kool-aid addicts are even trying to explain, defend or praise his actions.I was scratching my head along with everyone else until it finally struck me... Obama declared war on Fox News Channel because he is a prestidigitator. He knows he can't shut down Fox, but the attention it garners keeps focus off his other attacks on freedom of speech. His lefty agendas have a better chance of succeeding by using sleight of hand. Examples of the misdirection could be such things as: regulation of rumors and the Internet, bail-out of newspapers (officially making them state-run media), instituting regulations and fees that will effectively destroy talk radio, and God only knows what else might be up his sleeve.
Now I am wondering how else Obama might be using his street magic.
But, still and all, the Obama vs Fox show is quite entertaining. It will be interesting to see how it plays itself out. Click on Read More for a run-down on the reactions (some will surprise you) and links to some articles that I particularly for interesting.
