Media Bias!!!! :eek:
 

Where's the outrage??:confused:

Fox News Host Corrects Obama's 'Silver Spoon' Quote - NYTimes.com

Maybe it would be more of a story if it had been done by a news agency...

That prick can't even bring himself to do a proper correction. He didn't "paraphrase" Obama, he completely misquoted him. Obama has been using that "silver spoon" line in his education speeches for years. It has nothing to do with Romney. A proper correction would have brought out all that context.

This guy takes Doocy apart: Fox News, Steve Doocy and the ‘silver spoon’ smirk - Erik Wemple - The Washington Post

Whats wrong with truth.
Mite did ride in on his Daddy's coat tails.

Or is the public to believe that he got where he is today without favors from 'The Good Ole Boy's Club', and the juice his father had from being the Governor of Michigan.

Mite? My chickens had mites, but I got rid of them. See the DE thread.:)

One has proven to have done better than the other education wise. Last I checked, I do damn well in school and haven't paid for a grade.

As to his education speeches using the silver spoon shtick, it looks absolutely pathetic in either context. To even think there is no implication for it to be aimed at Romney must be a joke. :rolleyes:

Are you getting good grades in English Composition? I only mention it because I don't know what your first sentence means and don't see what your second sentence has to do with this thread.It must have been a joke three years in the making. Here's what Obama said in March 2009:

I stick to things that'll get me a non-unionized job-- I'm strictly a math and science(pre-med to become a cosmetic surgeon) guy.

Coattails, silver spoons and all refer to having influence and money, no? You get grades based on your own ethic, and Romney's record is absolutely nothing to scoff at merit wise and financially. That is where me not paying for my grades (other than to pay for tuition, of course) came into play.

I wasn't discrediting the fact he's made similar remarks before. It's the fact he makes them that makes me sick.

Obama didn't say anything about coattails and I don't think he was talking about influence. He was talking about opportunities. If we invest in education, then even kids who were not born with silver spoons in their mouths can have opportunities. Maybe some of them can even become President of the United States.Who is scoffing at Romney's record? He completely kicked ass, both in school and in business. You have brought in this concept of paying for grades. I don't know what that has to do with anything. Even Steve Doocy didn't bring up that.Really? You don't like the idea of creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds to succeed? Seems like a core American idea to me.

I've responded to other quips in the thread than the topic post-- that's where coattails and *not* paying for grades comes from. I'm saying it is not possible to do so, making Romney and Obama equally mortal men.

My dad came here an immigrant at 7 years old from Cuba. Worked his way up to become a millionaire before he passed. The opportunities ALREADY exist for kids to succeed. He took advantage of the public system, I've taken advantage of it-- I have no remorse for a single kid who does not do the same.

Taxpayer silver spoon for Barack? :D

Columbia, Harvard......LOL
Wasn't his Honk Granny a bank exec?

You mean (OMG!) the gov didn't make your dad successful?

Sound like the Obama silver spoon Botnst?

How does this thread tie in with the views expressed on the education thread by Bot?

Dude, really... pay attention in English class.
