VIDEO: O'REILLY FINALLY WAKING UP TO OBAMA?

Wow! Talk about a strong statement (not). Nearly one year after Obama was elected, Bill O'Reilly says, "I'm starting to lose a little confidence (in Obama)". Wow, Bill! That's brilliant. What took you so long?! The Frank Marshall Davis story was brought to your attention before last year's election and there were plenty of people who knew what you're just now starting to realize.

I'm not going to pretend to know what's inside O'Reilly's head but he seems to be more concerned about being perceived as middle of the road so he can alienate both sides of an issue and be above both. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's just holding out and building capital so he can lay the hammer down with more force but if that's the case, he's doing so at his own country's peril.

Ignoring the truth on one side merely for the sake of being viewed as an independent is an ends-justify-the-means mentality. Feigning objectivity for the sake of appealing to a larger audience is disingenuous. I'm not saying that's what O'Reilly is doing but it has appeared to me that way for quite some time.



In light of that clip, Cliff Kincaid's slamming of O'Reilly at ACCURCY IN MEDIA'S 40th anniversary event on 10/23 takes on added significance.

VIDEO: MEET THE GUY WHO BROKE VAN JONES STORY

On Friday, October 23rd Accuracy in Media held its 40th anniversary conference, which was shown on CSPAN2 and featured AIM editor Cliff Kincaid along with the man who broke the Van Jones story, New Zealand blogger Trevor Loudon. This video is an absolute must-see!

Though it's a little long, if you're at all interested in learning what's truly wrong with Barack Obama as POTUS, this pretty much sums it all up in about the least amount of time possible.

CLICK HERE to watch and take note of the fact that Kincaid says there is much more to come.

Probably the most glaring aspect of Obama's background is his childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, who Kincaid spends significant time discussing at the beginning of the video. The National Enquirer actually covered the Frank Marshall Davis angle more than any other mainstream media outlet (including Fox) and the Enquirer only did one story on it! Here's the description of the AIM event from the CSPAN website:

Accuracy in Media, a self-described conservative media watchdog group, hosted its 40th annual conference. Cliff Kinkaid, the editor of the Accuracy in Media newsletter, and Trevor Louden talked about the alleged reluctance by the media to investigate President Obama’s background. Mr. Louden is a New Zealand blogger whose work led a White House staffer to step down. They responded to audience members' questions following their remarks.

Towards the end, Loudon explains why he's spending so much time and effort investigating a foreign government and has some sobering thoughts for anyone interested in escaping the American government by moving to New Zealand.

Kincaid's sarcastic swipe at Bill O'Reilly notwithstanding (Kincaid mockingly gave O'Reilly credit for being smarter than a light bulb), he is obviously angry that the media did not listen before last year's election when so much information about Obama was already available. Justifiably angered, Kincaid makes reference to O'Reilly's surprise last week that Obama has been so far left and does everything to express it short of holding up a picture of O'Reilly in a dunce cap while saying, "DUH!".

Loudon and Kincaid broke the story about Frank Marshall Davis in early 2008 and no large media outlets, including Fox, did anything with it. Even last year, prior to the election, the National Enquirer did more work on the Frank Marshall Davis story than Fox News did.

But hey, at least O'Reilly still has the Body language lady.
