Video: Boehner says he 'absolutely' trusts Obama, says 'no issue there'

Just when you thought House Speaker John Boehner couldn't be more out of touch with conservatives, he lowers the bar on himself. During an interview on ABC This Week, in response to a question about whether he trusts Barack Obama, Boehner got immediately serious and did not hesitate to answer in the affirmative, saying, 'absolutely... there's no issue there' (2:30 mark).

Then, about one minute later, Boehner said, 'We do not have an immediate debt crisis.'

One question: Does he want to lose the majority in 2014?

If so, he's implementing the perfect strategy. It's safe to say that a vast majority of the Republican Party's most informed voters absolutely don't trust Obama.

Despite Hillary taking 'responsibility' for security of staff at Benghazi, Barbara Walters thinks questions about hair more important

One month after the 9/11/12 attack in Benghazi, Hillary Clinton took responsibility for the security of everyone who works for the State Department. In a sane world, that would mean that she should have to answer some very hard questions about why the consulate there was repeatedly denied security - in some cases, security was withdrawn. Also worthy of note this week has been Clinton's expected testimony in front of House and Senate foreign relations committees.

Therefore, in her interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, a sane interviewer would want to get some answers relative to Benghazi and the plethora of unanswered questions about that which Hillary said she was responsible for. That's not what happened.

Walters found at least two things more important to ask Hillary about.

1. Her hair
2. Her plans for 2016

That's right. Walters was disinterested in asking questions about Hillary's role in a scandal that could make her unfit for another presidential run.

VIdeo: John Stossel's Public Confession to Breitbart

John Stossel's stock should rise with you after watching this clip. At the time Andrew Breitbart was breaking the ACORN story back in 2009, Stossel worked at ABC's 20/20. In this recent exchange between Stossel, who is now at Fox Business, and Breitbart, the former 20/20 reporter candidly admits that Breitbart presented the ACORN story to him but that he rejected it because of 'politics at ABC.' That's interesting in light of ABC's Charlie Gibson's admission after the story broke that he 'didn't even know about it.' When someone comes clean like Stossel does here, it's a sign of character.

Video Disgrace: ABC News Plays to Stereotypes, calls it News

This is a new low, even for ABC. In a report filed by John Quinones, he disguises himself as a potential illegal alien inside a Tucson restaurant while a white male actor, dressed as a security guard who is outwardly racist to begin picking people out as potentially illegal. Quotes from the mean and nasty white guy include: 'They look Mexican' and 'if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.' It is a shameless attempt by ABC News (term used lightly) to play to stereotypes. One lady patron attempts to help the defenseless targets of the white guy's racism before the jig is up.

After, Quinones reveals his identity, he makes a hero out of the woman for helping her fellow man. The only thing missing was Quinones handing her an everlasting gobstopper.

Disgusting...

VIDEO: GEORGE WILL SLAMS MEGHAN McCAIN

The important premise to remember here, before watching this, is that Meghan McCain has done nothing on her own to warrant a seat on ABC's 'This Week.' The only reason she has the opportunity is because she's John McCain's daughter. I wouldn't begrudge her for that except that while ripping Christine O'Donnell, she zeroes in on the senate candidate's lack of experience. She then also says O'Donnell comes across as a 'nutjob' - presumably a reference to the 'witch' controversy. Note, McCain made no reference to Hillary being a 'nutjob' for talking to the dead while in the White House.

Anyway, watch as George Will utterly embarrasses McCain by referring to her previous point as 'not astute' while likely also leaving her wondering what the word 'taughtological' meant.

VIDEO: LIBERAL MEDIA WAKING UP TOO LATE?

Here are two members of the Mainstream Media responsible for getting Barack Obama elected with the glowing propaganda coupled with important and harrowing omissions about his background and affiliations. What's almost as newsworthy as Obama's incredibly dangerous words played via Woodward's recording in this clip is his own reaction when Obama said them as well as the reaction of Diane Sawyer after the audio of Obama was played this interview.

Are we in the beginning stages of the liberal media dupes finally realizing they're nothing more than useful idiots?

We who knew Obama would be a disaster were mocked and all of us are paying the price collectively.

VIDEO: INGRAHAM ON STEPHANOPOLOUS

John Podesta and Laura Ingraham on the same panel? Interesting to say the least. The former runs Media Matters and is president of the Center for American Progress (CAP). That would be the same CAP that hired Van Jones back after he resigned from his job as Green Jobs czar. Not only that but Mark Lloyd (FCC Diversity czar) was a senior fellow at CAP as well.

It was obvious that Podesta wanted to play nice. He hasn't a leg to stand on when it comes to ACORN, considering that he was on-hand for their recent 40 year anniversary celebration. Moreover, Media Matters recently defended ACORN's story that James O'Keefe was thrown out of the Philadelphia office when the recently released video shows that is a lie.

Best part of this clip though, comes at about the 2:30 mark when Ingraham singles out Charlie Gibson for not knowing anything about the Acorn scandal. Stephanopolous actually defends Gibson by pointing to how many years he's been in the business.

Uh, George, that's the problem. May I refer you to Dan Rather?

Ingraham does well.

AUDIO: CHARLIE GIBSON ARROGANCE GETS BETTER OF HIM

So ABC News' anchor Charlie Gibson appears on WLS in Chicago (Don & Roma show) this morning and is asked about all of these ACORN scandals. His response after a moment of condescending laughter was, "I didn't even know about it."

The last time I heard someone laugh like that after a very serious question was when Barack Obama did it to Steve Kroft asked him about closing down auto dealers. In response to Obama's laughter, Kroft asked if he was "punch drunk".

Gibson sure sounded punch drunk in response to the ACORN question. After claiming ignorance, he got arrogant and suggested that maybe this was a story that should be left to the "cables".

CLICK HERE for the audio.

Here's the transcript:

Don: Okay, here’s my news question. A Senate bill yesterday passes, cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now, we got that bill passed and we have the embarrassing video of ACORN staffers giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel with 13-year-old hookers. It has everything you could want – corruption and sleazy action at tax-funded organizations and it’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story. Why?

Gibson: HAHAHAHAHA. HEHEHE. I didn’t even know about it. Um. So, you’ve got me at a loss. I don’t know. Uh. Uh. But my goodness, if it’s got everything including sleaziness in it, we should talk about it this morning.

Roma: This is the American way!

Gibson: Or maybe this is just one you leave to the cables.

Roma: Well, I think this is a huge issue because there’s so much funding that goes into this organization…

Gibson: I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before, but this one I don’t know about…

Roma: Jake Tapper did some blogging on it. I know he’s blogged at least once on this scandal.

Gibson: You guys are uh really up on the website.

Sarah Palin may be chuckling somewhere right now.
