Ok, it’s obviously an Obama slam, but does it have to not make sense as well? Is drinking water good? Or bad? Is that Obama, off stage, yelling about the water? Or did he turn into Romey, and that’s what makes it funny?

No, it’s that O’s failures can’t be defended so the liberal media has attacked someone for drinking water. What’s next? Following Republicans into the bathroom and showing them urinating 115 times a day on CNN? It’s comical that the dems have nothing to stand on so they are ALWAYS in attack mode.

It’s purely a slam at the media, actually. All those things are ludicrous or outright lies from Obama, and there isn’t a peep from the Media, yet when Rubio drinks a bottle of water while looking at the camera, OMGZ! It’s news! That’s what the ‘toon is saying. And it’s very telling how biased the media is.

I finally watched a clip of Rubio getting that bottle of water, what a clumsy move. But as clumsy as it was, as unprofessional as it looked what is the big deal? There are plenty of legitimate things for the left to attack the right over (and vice-versa), the Democrats don’t need to follow the republican’s model and fabricate a crisis out of nothing. So Marco was thirsty, big deal, get over it guys. Nothing to see here, move along.
As for the media making such a big deal out of it, do you get so up in arms and call names when faux “news” does it? And yes they do it. You probably don’t see it because it fits your narrative and belief system. That is not an attack, it is simply an observation of reality, we don’t see as clearly what we agree with as we do what we don’t agree with.

“All those things are ludicrous or outright lies from Obama…”
All five statements? Really?

It is about focusing on the important things. And not twisting the insignificant things out of proportion. Rubio was ackward, so he loses to the polished, smooth liar. Such is life these days.

Its not bigger government we need. Government is his solution to everything.
There is nothing modest of Obama’s reforms.
The affordable health care act is not slowing the cost of health care.
The credit of the United States has been downgraded for the first time ever sense Obama has taken office.
The last statement we produce more oil at home then we have in the last 15 years is true but we were in an energy crises even then. It is Natural Gas that has helped ease our energy needs. Also it was all done on private land government land has restricted energy use.
So the media makes all this over a glass of water.

OK, I’ve seen a few things that Fox News does that seem to make a big deal out of nothing. However, I am curious as to what YOU think they are. So could you like post an example?

“The credit of the United States has been downgraded for the first time ever sense Obama has taken office. "
And that has been widely (rightly) recognized as teh fault of the republicans’ obstructionism in the interest of protecting their wealthiest of friends.

How about you post your examples? And of all the assertions I made you can only find that one thing to contest? Thank you that must mean everything else I wrote was true (tic).

@TheTrustedMechanic
My post as an example of WHAT exactly? Are you then so inept that you can not look up one single news story that fits your claim? " do you get so up in arms and call names when faux “news” does it ", you ask? Well, be specific. I’d ike to know which Fox News stories you have actually read and how you feel they are much ado about nothing. A SIMPLE request.
And while I give many of your comments credence, your obsession with all things republican being bad is a bit lame.
Anything accomplished by government MUST be done with a majority of agreement from both parties.

You do know that that is not a logical conclusion, don’t you?
Maybe not. None of your posts are actually “logical.”

“Widely” recognized??
LMAO.
But go ahead, prove your statement, since “illogical” seems to be your forte today….
