Frank Luntz’s focus group on Fox was wary and angry

Frank Luntz’s focus group on Fox: “I think he’s [meaning Obama] mediocre and delusional,” “He’s the best conservationist in America because he keeps re-cycling his campaign promises.” There were a few who thought Obama was inspirational and doing the best with the circumstances he inherited — this seemed to divide along racial lines with the black panelists keeping hope alive. However, the complaints on the disconnect between Obama’s rhetoric and his actions dominated. Only one of member of the panel thinks the recession is over.

“He promised earmark reform. He signed the biggest pork-laden bill, $700, $800 billion in new pork.”

“He hasn’t kept any of his campaign promises, so because of that, the words that he said, some of them were encouraging, but they ring hollow to me.”

Luntz pointed out that Nancy Pelosi, as Speaker of the House, is paid $223,000 per year, but the top U.S. general in America who runs the war gets $179,000 per year. Luntz then reminded the group that Obama said we should support the military and asked whether the general deserved to earn more than the Speaker of the House. Everyone said “yes.”

    Luntz fake propaganda group has been debunked, like all of Fox fake made up news. Start with your version of the truth and work backwards, eliminating any pesky truth that stands in your way. You might say that this is news and true, but you could never prove it in a public debate or
    a controled focus group. Selected by both sides! Luntz is paid to not
    be fair and balanced. God I am sick of these lying bastards! Bring back
    the fairness doctrine and see them all crash and burn when the truth and facts show up!

      We have a president who fits your description perfectly. Good job identifying the way the WH works and spins things – a "delusional" politician is a perfect word to describe exactly what the american people voted into office in 2008.

    I'm glad Obama was not kept any of his campaign promises (lies). If he had of fulfilled these promises, the nation would fail, as it is with not fulfilling his promises, then only Obama and his Demcronies fail. And I hope this failure on Obama's part does not change.

    Just another angry frustrated brownshirt who'd send us away on boxcars if he could.
