Obama Remembers Walter Cronkite

[1958boomergirl]

When I heard the news of Michael Jackson's death, I puddled up; I'm a fan, too. But when Walter Cronkite's death was confirmed, I just cried and cried. And both happened on the very same day. Now, the world is really, really cold. :(

[Conan568]

Yeah I remember when news was more than Liberal propaganda too.

[thedarkone2134]

@Conan568

You can't just label it a liberal propaganda, because it's not. Conservatives and liberals both benefit from the modern news and both side manipulate it.

[Conan568]

@thedarkone2134

I CAN label it Liberal propaganda, because that is exactly what it is.

The mainstream media is 90% Liberal, except Fox who is under attack from the top Commie's Soros and Obama for their audacity to report the facts and expose the Traitor Obama.

Fox exposed Acorn, for one, unfortunately too late to prevent the Obama mistake

[thedarkone2134]

@Conan568

I agree Obama was not the right choice. However, FOX is no better then any other mainstream media source. They pull the same tricks as CNN, MSNBC, etc.

CNN, MSNBC are liberal lies, Fox is conservative lies. I don't trust any of them.

[uburei]

would be nice to see what they actually played at the Bohemian Grove

[orion90ryan]

From one Commnist to another! How fitting! Bolshevik scum!

[ASentinel2]

Let us recognize Osama Bin Lyin' for what he is... A liar.... In the oval office, from Kenya....that was raised by muslims.....fostered by anti white motivated community groups in chicago, and 10 years of anti american racist reverand Wright preaching.....

Anyone that says that american ideas will come from that is just not in touch with reality....

However, he got elected without many knowing all this despite attempts to get the word out....the majority of media kept it quiet...

[midplants]

It's great to see Cronkite get such respect from the first black presient. Michael Jackson fans are just jealous.

[snoops71]

Not true. I like Cronkite and MJ. Jealous? Of what? Both deserve to be respected.

[fatcatsathat]

This was perhaps the best tribute to Walter Cronkite.

[cmandrews86]

I can't believe how many ignorant people come on here and say stupid shit. You guys should find some nazi blog and go away!

[mitsosobaxomeh]

obama is a Jew he lies repeatably and cousin of ex president Bush it is the same bloodline

[mitsosobaxomeh]

see by yourself!!!!!!

[CarryANationIII]

Walter Cronkite was Pro- NWO

[mbenzsl2000]

wow people arguing about who should get more coverage...walter cronkite or MJ.......damn, this country is full of morons.

pointless and ridiculous posts

[kturner36]

Please this puppet is only saying what his masters tell him to say. I'm through drinking the kool-aide.

[demslibssuck]

What Mr. Obama said is certainly true. It is just disconcerting that he can never seem to speak off the cuff and he always needs to read from a teleprompter. It makes what he says what it is... disingenuous.

[sierrawlfc]

Here we go again praising the new world order shills like Walter Cronkite. Another false flag distraction. Stop the government and media terrorism. Support auditing the federal reserve.

[FrancescaGianna]

Dear Obama and the many filthy scums in the House of Reps,

Keep your hands out of America's pockets. Stop taking our money and spending it on useless programs to fund your lies. Resign from office and do this country a favor.

Sincerely,

The American PEOPLE

[zaxt3r]

Oh god, this idiot again...

1) you're not "The American PEOPLE ". People would be killing themselves in the streets if you were in any way a representative of us.

2) Are you honestly addressing your stupid little commentaries to Obama and members of Congress now?

I...you...Your stupidity is beyond comprehension. I wish I could just block your comments from showing UP. Alas, blocking you wasn't enough...

[FrancescaGianna]

Do you always insult and block people who are NOT talking to you? Since you have a problem with "free speech" I suggest you move to North Korea and make that your home. Also get some help for your paranoiad psychosis problem.

[zaxt3r]

Idiot. You just replied to me, yet you maintain that you're not talking to me. Your stupidity knows no bounds.

Against free speech? No, no; I'm just against your assumption that America's opinions match yours as you squeak off your little idiot voice.

"paranoiad psychosis problem"? Next time you look up words in the dictionary to fit into your little head for such occasions, try remembering how to spell them.

I disregard medical opinions of idiots who can't even spell "paranoid" correctly.

[dkkght46]

I voted for Obama but I rather have 8 years of Bush than the past 6 months of Obama.

[OriginalRawSkillz]

Walter Cronkite was nothing more than a Globalist...Trying to remove our freedoms! Dismantle our Constitution... Why should we honor such a person...? I don't hate the guy or his opinion; I just don't like what he stands for... Google -World Federalist Association - Walter Cronkite- And see for yourselves!

[CarryANationIII]

Walter Cronkite In Hell!

[kodachromefilm]

Obama has only worthless opinions. Much like his presidency: a nightmare based firmly on bad politics and worthless opinions ... lies.

[dkkght46]

I would rather have another 8 years of Bush than the past 6 months of Obama.

And I voted for this President with training wheels.

[HUSKY57887]

Bush was an ass.

[thesamenamegame]

No....he was republican

[jwoozy]

I can not stand this man personally, but I hope this country takes a turn for better days. He gladly honors Cronkite, whuch I'm not opposed to, but was nonchalant in his acknowledgment of Michael Jackson's death. He's a liar. a coward and a ego maniac.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

back then, the news at least tried criticize the government and not be a puppet.

Has the main stream media even criticize Obama? They are shoving everything up your ass and your ass hole being so loose don't even feel or know about what the hell their doing.

[nwhwy]

Bullshit! Walter Cronkite was a liberal asshole in my opinion. His twisted reporting of the Tet offensive in Vietnam, did much to help fool the American public into thinking we were losing the war, when in fact it was a complete military failure for the communist, and a big victory for the U.S. If he would have reported this honestly, the war might have turned around in our favor at the time.

[Traynorcustomreverb]

what are you talking about? America lost the war in Vietnam.

Walter Cronkite was 100% right.

[CIoaked]

What a joke, Obama commenting on Cronkite!

Wonder what he would have said if his teleprompter broke! What a joke, the only thing he can run is his mouth!

Is there anything that Obama feels he can't comment on???

[Olatunje]

He had few words when Michael Jackson died????????

Most young people do not know who Walter Cronkite was!!!!!

Politics in death????!!!!!!!

[elspoko]

Are you fucking shitting me? Jackson is not a historical icon, Cronkite is. I'm young and I know that. get your head out of your pop generation ass.

[Olatunje]

Jackson is a global icon. Cronkite is history an old man and most young people don't give a damn. Looks like Cronkite was a satanist. Look it up!!!

Screw him and everything he stood for. All he did was read the news!!!! Old bastard!

[PaniacThrilla]

Michael Jackson was only famous because he raped and molested countless children.

[Olatunje]

If that is all you know or think about him you are ignorant of the facts as well as his contributions to humanity through his charities and his global impact through his music.

[BetOnit900]

@elspoko Jackson was BY ALL MEANS a historic character, he and Elvis) were the best contributors to America's musical culture. ''And thats the way it is''

[snoops71]

The news can't just be for the young who only know Beyonce and the Jonas Brothers. They aren't the only ones out there.

[Olatunje]

My initial point was that Obama did not acknowledge Michael Jackson's death like he did Cronkite's, Obama did not address the public about Jackson. Jackson was a 50 year old icon who's career started when he was a young child. Middle age people remember Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five. the Jackson Five was the original name of the group.

A CBS reporter asked Obama in the White House during a private interview asked why he said nothing about Jackson. Please!!!!

[crazyponey]

OK yall, this is about Cronkite, not MJ. MJ was an icon no doubt, no matter how you viewed him. Cronkite was a newsman the only newsman who covered the black experience fairly when others wouldn't, thru all the marches right to DC with Martin (check that with Spike Lee's interview including the four girls killed in the church bombing). Republican or not, when it came to the news, how it was told and where it took place, he was there with people of all colors. He spoke out when chose not to.

[Olatunje]

If that is the case include praise to CBS because he could have done nothing without the approval of CBS.

[snoops71]

True. As I said before, I grew up liking both of them.

[blucat88]

Don't forget that he was also a 50 year old pedophile... Good riddance.

[snoops71]

I get your point. Yes, I know about the Jackson Five being the original name. I agree he should have said something similar about Michael Jackson right away. At first, he was acting like he was "too young" to remember MJ or something, which is far from the truth. I'm 10 years younger than him, and I remember MJ very, very well. We are in total agreement about that.

[Yazans2006]

I am starting to get real tired of all of Obama's talking.

Let me get this straight, Obama the same guy who is giving the crooks in the Fed more power and virtually no transparency, who replaces Guantanamo with Bangram , who preaches democracy to the rest of the world while his government continues to meddle with the affairs of others is pretending to like a reporter who actually seems to have challenged the goverment.

I will give Obama one thing, he is a damn good actor.

[Squirelbutt]

Cronkite was A CFR propagandist. Anyone who as ever studied the history of the CFR knows they use the icons of hollywood and media as tools of deciet.

[SoOnErSoN2]

You can rate down my comment all you want. Doesn't change the fact that Obama doesn't speak a single lie in this video and doesn't change the fact that Walter Cronkite was a great man and a great journliast in the days where no one cared about ratings and just told the news.

So go ahead and sit on your couches and complain, complain, complain while doing nothing yourself. But just remember you would have nothing to complain about, and you're watching the news while doing it.

[screeniedrop]

We got more celebrities dying before december 20, 2012.

Some of things. We saw murder suicide jumped, suicide rates jumped. The next target is massive disability commiting suicide predicted by mayans. Hope they were correct. I saw flordia shoot out.

We are going to see more.

[amartinjoe]

a very eloquent speaker.

[utubesucks2003]

I feel like every time the president tries too much to sound eloquent it just falls flat and lifeless. You either say words strikingly from the caliber of your personality and they built in people who hear them to be memorable, or you sound like ...that, calculated and cold.

[Gibsonites]

Yeah, I so much preferred the smooth diction and well-constructed sentences of our last president.

"There ought to be limits to freedom."

-George Bush, 1999.

[utubesucks2003]

Implying I was a fan of Bush.

[hdzsound]

stop talknig obama, do some

[max1media]

Who care what Obama thinks! AP enough Obama , please!

[Corvettes66]

Then change the channel you RepubliTURD, no one is forcing you to watch Obama...

[ThinkingLeft]

now thats real class...

[NoCussingClub]

All this shows is that Obama got heat for his response to Michael Jackson so he's trying to learn from his mistake, but in a really obviously contrived way.

[InuzukaCds]

What about Billy Mays asshole!? What about the guys in Iraq!? Your nothing but a liar! Get out of the White House you liar!

[DonFuego1]

what are you talking about? you want Obama to make a video for every person in America that dies? and ignoring that, this video addresses the death of Walter Cronkite, how is any of that lying haha

[InuzukaCds]

No, I am just saying I miss Billy Mays, I saw an Oxy Clean commercial on today and he wasn't on it. I just like Billy Mays and have never even heard of this other guy, not to offend anyone, but as far as I am concerned he was just another liar in the media keeping America from realizing the truth. As far as lying goes you should Google Obama and lie and see what comes up, I don't have the space in the comment to explain.

[DonFuego1]

Ah yea thats kinda lame, but this guy at least brought the news to millions of people. No offense to Billy Mays, awsome dude but he kinda just sold stuff very succesfully. And I did google it, most of it sounds like crackpot stuff. I think its unfair to say he's not keeping promises and lying to us when he's only been in office 100 days though, people need to give him the whole four years to keep them. If he doesn't, then people should start with all that

[NoCussingClub]

Obama's a prick.

[dustinallen1982]

and you're first class huh?

[NoCussingClub]

I actually feel bad for Barack and Michelle. How fucked up they are, what they've gotten themselves and America into. His lies are backfiring, and people are waking up and turning against him and his empty promises of Hope and Change. But he's just a puppet for the bankers. I feel bad for him, because deep down he probably realizes what a sociopath he is.

[dustinallen1982]

yep, that confirmed it.

[InuzukaCds]

He is the spokesman for the New World Order, some people are so sick they don't even have feelings.

[DonFuego1]

What lies are these? He's been in office what...5 months? OH NOEZ HE NO HAZ SOLVED ALL OUR PROBLEMS!! HE IZ FAIL LIAR! We should have voted for the old guy who would have died in 10 days and left us with the retarded penguin dictator. Also, he's not a puppet for the bankers, he bailed them out to save the economy, if anyone has lied and been distrustful its them. And to you're comment on him being a sociopath...do you even know that that means?

[SoOnErSoN2]

Hear Hear.

[InuzukaCds]

Dude, if we give him any longer in the White House then free speech will be banned, guns will be banned, and he will make his national civilian army and instate the GIVE act. I think you need to do your research on this man.

[DonFuego1]

What? Those are fundamental constitutional rights, he can't touch them. I'm srry but that just sounds ridiculous, could you hook me up with some links or something? I'm actually interested, just i don't see how anyone can tell all of that from 100 days.

[witecracker2]

OMG YOUR SO RIGHT...

[barklikeamonkey]

Obama is a schmuck. Cronkite wasn't dead but a few hours & we get a video from Obamatard.

When that abortion doctor was killed, a statement followed within hours also...

How many DAYS did we wait for a statement on the shooting of U.S. Soldiers in Arkansas by a Muslim?

You would think the Commander in Chief would care a little more about U.S. Soldiers than a News Anchor or Abortion Doctor.

What a disgrace...

[mcdemuth]

Great Speech. That describes Walter perfectly. RIP dear friend.

[xs1ner]

but he didnt say something for michael jackson

wtf

[engeo1993]

Even if he did say something, wingnuts that think MJ is a pedophile would be like: "OMFG THE BLAK PRESIDENT ADVOCATES PEDOPHILIA!"

It would just be another bs thing wingnuts would pin on him...

[Sparta4always]

He didn't really say anything about MIchael Jackson but he sent his family a letter saying that he was sorry for the loss and he wishes the best for the family ect...

Obama just didn't publish a speech for MJ like he did for Walter Cronkite.

[dustinallen1982]

yea, our president doesnt pay tribute to pedophiles

[xs1ner]

fuck off

[SSanf]

From the time we could afford our first TV, a rare thing then, until the day he retired Walter Cronkite was in our daily lives. Though he did not know us, he was a valued part of our family. He was in our home and in our hearts.

[snoops71]

I agree.

[kargenlewis]

one of the kings of propaganda died and good riddance. this mans brainwashing helped the corrupt and rule people thru fear and hate. news people are not heroes but professional liars. they are scum and the only people that miss them and think they are heroes is the other liars and in the news industry. GOOD RIDDANCE!

[arequipa1]

absolutely ridiculous.

[MST2k]

kargenlewis - he was one of few who would speak truth to power. Either you are too young to know the difference, or you are ignorant and full of crap.

[SoOnErSoN2]

Wow. Nice. Real mature. Walter Cronkite changed history dedicating his life to his work, depriving himself of his own 1st Amendment rights to protect YOURS.

How 'bout we take the news away and see how you and the rest of the critics survive no knowing a dang things about the world around you?

Just like that, quick to point the finger but slow to do anything to cause any real progression.

[witecracker2]

WOW WELL SAID

YOU ARE TOO COOL

[lildwayne21]

Obama is pure class

[dustinallen1982]

he bleeds awesomeness
