Ask -- cal has some concerns from his bunker that has he always does.

Regarding the media coverage of President Obama and what you -- -- a flip flops that he has performed that have not being the focused on by said media -- Yes hi Jonathan I -- it a double standard would be a step up I think for the media on this this is the most remarkable thing I've seen and I've been watching our president's sense John F.

Kennedy.

It's almost as if for the media the president can do no wrong he should not be held accountable for any previous statement or position or promised legislation.

Even if he flips a 100% which he has done over and over again the media see no problem they just move on to the next thing just one example courtesy of the Media Research Center which reminds us today that on November 21 2011 and that's more than thirteen months ago the president said quote my message to congress is simple.

No I will veto any effort to get rid of these automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending there will be no easy off ramps on this well.

And then of course on the -- fiscal cliff measure he he didn't enforce those.

Ari Fleischer the first.

Press Secretary to president George W.

Bush.

Has compiled a partial list.

Obama flip flops of the media have never ever held him accountable for for example he voted against the debt limit increase that supported racing -- -- became president he campaigned against bush tax cuts that extended them.

He promised to cut deficit in half by the end of his first term then proposed trillion dollar deficits I -- there -- many many more for people who want to look -- up.

But I just find this to be.

An incredible aggregation of duty by the media is are they afraid of being called racists or something I don't understand it they're job is to hold powerful people of whatever party accountable and they're doing a terrible job.

Cal isn't how -- we sometimes a little quick.

Two would suggest that -- leaders.

Should have one set of opinions and values and always stick to those -- all allowed to evolve as -- as reality changes.
