Networks Ignore Missouri Voters' Rejection of ObamaCare, Instead Celebrate Obama's Birthday

In the first voter referendum on ObamaCare, Missourians on Tuesday overwhelmingly (by 71 to 29 percent) backed Proposition C which called upon the state to enact a statute to “deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance,” an outcome the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described as “rebuking President Barack Obama's administration.” On Wednesday night, however, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts skipped the bad news for President Obama – yet all found time to celebrate his 49th birthday.

(The Missouri repudiation of a central tenet of ObamaCare came a day after another setback for ObamaCare which the newscasts also ignored: A federal district judge in Richmond rejected the Obama administration’s quest to block Virginia’s lawsuit challenging Congress’ jurisdiction to mandate individuals buy health insurance.)

Doesn't sound too surprising to me (hence, I didn't try to get this into the Breaking News Topic). It seems to be extrordinarily ordinary for the left-wingnut MSM to be so far out of touch with reality, doesn't it?...Just like the Obama the Ursurper. Gee, that title has a catchy tone to it...I wonder if it'll show up in the history books of the future?

[Diane]...Sawyer related: “He says we've watched him go gray, and the photographs since the campaign do show a little speckle in that hair.”

No foolin'?
That's the main reason why I never wanted to run for President. Anybody who actually wants a job that'll age him 10 years in a fraction of that time simply must be crazy...And should be automatically disqualified for reasons of insanity. Me & Barry are pretty close to the same age (He's 49 & I'll be turning 49 just a little later this month!) & I've already got enough gray hair as it is now.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I'm a little disappointed there wasn't a cake, though. I'm going to have to talk to the Secret Service about that.

RICHARD TRUMKA, AFL-CIO: You got to talk to those guys because they nixed the cake.

OBAMA: They're probably eating it right now.

TRUMKA: They are.

Just like the feckless, expendable servants/slaves of old, they probably had to check for poison in the cake...

But still, it's a shame that We the People have to learn from elsewhere what's really going on...These leftist MSM "snooze on the news" networks are losing ratings, bigtime.

Seems no one is left on "Obama the Ursurper's" corner. Is wife/kids are in another country, Most of us reject the Heath-care bill. AND he didn't receive a birthday cake!!

We are all finally getting over this Media-popular president.

"Just like the feckless, expendable servants/slaves of old, they probably had to check for poison in the cake... "
I was thinking the same thing!
