President Obama's back is against the wall, so he's getting in touch with his inner Agnew, hitting the neo-nattering nabobs of cable and the net.
“If we could just -- excuse the press -- turn off the cameras," he told Democratic Senators at their annual retreat. "Turn off your CNN, your FOX, your MSNBC, your blogs, turn off this echo chamber … where the topic is politics. … We’ve got to get out of the echo chamber. That was a mistake I made last year – not getting out of here [Washington].”
This was received with considerable enthusiasm, particularly by Harry Reid, who said that he had already taken the president's advice.

Some good comments on this one from politico.
The correct interpretation of what Obama is saying: "We got caught doing back room deals because of the internet and cable news. We will have to be more devious in the future."
Interpretation: don't listen to anything that opposes our agenda. Response: the American people will not be ignored and will vote your arrogant as# out of office.
Barack Chavez is chomping at the bit to take control of America's media. Obama has now, in just a year's time, become the single most inept president perhaps in all of American history, and certainly in our lifetime. Never has so much political advantage been squandered so rapidly by arrogant, foolish and malicious behavior. It's astonishing, really, to contemplate what an utter failure Obama is. Let's get Congress out of the hands of Pelosi and Reid to limit further damage from Obama.
