Do you get the feeling that Barack Obama is obsessed with Fox News? He brought up Fox in the last presidential debate, he brought it up again at the Al Smith Dinner last night, and here, in the pages of The New York Times Magazine, he spills on FNC to Matt Bai. It's quite a read:
"I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls," Obama told me. "If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?"
I mean, gee. As we all know, much of the MSM is completely in the tank for Obama, and he worries about Fox? Thinks that Fox is that powerful to be affecting the election by two or three points--quite possibly, the margin of victory in this election?
Well, maybe it is. Certainly Fox stands out, in contrast to the Obama herd.
