Nation at War Is Change for Obama?

OVER 100 MORE examples of Fox News Bias at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

Republicans took to the airwaves last week spreading this false talking point that a recent speech by President Obama in which he said that the nation is at war is a big rhetorical change for Obama. When Republican former Bush chief of staff Andrew Card tried this fake GOP talking point on real news network MSNBC, an actual straight news anchor, Norah O'Donnell, made sure MSNBC viewers heard the truth, but, meanwhile, the supposed straight news anchor over on Fox News, Jon Scott, hosted one of those unfair Fox News 3-Ways with Matt Schlapp and Susan Estrich on this topic that same day which just seemed designed to emphasize the false Republican talking point, as I show in this video.

The short clip from President Barack Obama's (first) inaugural address I use in this video comes from the public domain video available from the whitehouse YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PuHGKnboNY

The short clip of MSNBC anchor Norah O'Donnell interviewing Andrew Card I use in this video comes from a segment on the MSNBC program "MSNBC News Live" that aired January 8, 2010, available on the MSNBC website at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/34769071#34769071

The short clips I use of the debate between Susan Estrich and Matt Schlapp hosted by Fox News anchor Jon Scott come from a segment on the Fox News program "Happening Now" that aired January 8, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online)

The image of the Washington Times editorial titled "Obama discovers the war on terrorism" I use in this video comes from the webpage at http://washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jan/08/obama-discovers-the-war-on-terror...

The image of the YouTube page playing the bravenewfilms video titled "Outfoxed: Who is Sean Hannity's best liberal friend?" comes from the webpage at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulbu2RBksLw

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

@superdude097 Im refering to a national gov that oversteps the boundaries intended in a federal gov. What we seem to have devolved to in this country is very centralized and powerful national gov. I was simply making a statement on a problem facing us today, I didn't intend to confuse anyone about my undrstanding of the word national. Perhaps next time I will be a bit more descriptive, damn these character limits!

@steviewonder417 In a UNITARY system, there is a central government that holds all the power and any lower states exist (and have any power) at the discretion of the central government. This is what most European nations use as a system of government.

[superdude097]

@steviewonder417 In a FEDERAL system, there still exists the individual states, as well as the central government, the main difference being that with this system of government, the central government has much more power over the states. This is the from of government the US has now.

@steviewonder417 You do realize that a Federal form of government DEPENDS on the existence of a central government. In a CONFEDERATE system, there are several states that are loosely associated with each other, and a weak central government that has very little power over individual states or the states as a whole. This is the from of government the US (officially) had from 1781 to 1789.
