HuffPo Video: Rupert Murdoch tells Cavuto that "President for change" Obama is "dangerous"
VIDEO @ the URL below.



Rupert Murdoch told Fox Business Network's Neil Cavuto Monday morning that Barack Obama is not an extremist but that his policies "dangerous" for America. He also said that the Boston Globe will not disappear and that his recently installed #2, Chase Carey, is by no means his "heir apparent."

"I think Barack Obama would describe himself as a pragmatic leftist but he's not an extremist," Murdoch said. "I think he sees himself as a president for change and that involves bigger government. He's made no secret of that. I think that's dangerous."

1. Murdoch's New York Post endorsed Obama in the primaries
Edited on Mon Jun-08-09 02:49 PM by AlexanderProgressive
He praised Obama back then. Why do we hear that Obama is dangerous now but not back then?
Answer: Murdoch is full of it.

6. Murdoch is a douche bag who probably thought if he pushed the "black guy"
he'd lose the general election.

2. Well, Rupe,
seeing as how you've been wrong about most everything else, I take great comfort in the fact you don't approve of the soon-to-be "Best President of the Past Half-Century".

4. Did Murdoch become an American

9. The cat is finally out of the bag. Expose this mofo as much as possible
Everyone who represents the "Left" needs to remind viewers when they are on Fixed Noise that the owner of the network is an devoted Obama hater who thinks the President is "dangerous"... ferchrissakes, this is completely careless on Murdoch's part.
