Why do conservatives on FOX news keep attacking President Barack Obama?

Why is it that FOX news cannot stand President Obama. Especially Sean Hannity And for all you fools who keep saying I'm on welfare I'm not. This just shows your ignorance..... If you must know I'm a college graduate in law school at Ohio State University and a huge Obama supporter. Plus, there is nothing wrong with being on welfare if you truly need the assistance!

1. Because they have an agenda of fascism in our great country. FOX "news" is evil.
2. because he sucks and is spending our money. are you on welfare?
3. The same reason why the liberals on CNN do the same thing to EVERY Republican/conservative? Just a guess.
4. Because they are smart. They don't want their country to go to hell like every other country that was once strong and then fell under the leadership of an under-qualified "leader". But you know- if your fine with crappy health care, abortions being given out like halloween candy, a weak military and a socialistic country based on lowering standard to fit the needs of the laziest americans- then Obama was the right choice. However- if you are not someone who follows whatever the celebrities tell you to do- and you actually use your minds- i'm sure you watch and love fox news. Enough said.
5. I dont even watch that bologna and I attack him. peace, welfare recipient.
6. I don't know. I think it is insane how they criticize his every move. I never had issue with a president like that. I try to see the good in people. Fox people must have the tightest colons ever!
7. Oh they are not attacking President Barack Obama , BUT they are exerting that much pressure on Obama that Obama may not stray their POLICY LINE.
8. Because obama keeps attacking America.
9. Because their ideologies are diametrically opposed. Wars and genocide have been perpetrated over differing ideologies. When people's beliefs are so different there can be no peace and harmony in the world. That's why the liberals are trying to tell everyone to just believe in Obama and just cease all dissent and opposition to the divine wisdom of the chosen one. Just believe and chant...Obama....Obama...Obama...Obama...
10. I've got news for you. Conservatives who don't watch Fox News hardly at all are also bashing President Obama every day. We've got to do SOMETHING to keep our sanity intact.
11. The media is very liberal, no matter who the president is, if he was a republican every other news station would attack him. FOX news is the only news that gives us the other side, and usually the truth. This country is basically ran by the media, they can tell us anything and most will believe it. With FOX atleast we can hear both sides. Listen to what they say about Obama, and thats why they cant stand him.
12. They're still bitter that McCain didn't win. lol :-)
13. I agree with you Lawgirl. Why don't fox news go to the judicial branch and let them review the law and bring Bush in for a third term then they would really have something to talk about.
14. Those aren't attacks, that's called truth. I know, you guys don't get that very often when watching CNN and MSNBC. God bless.
15. They know that his ideas are not good for the country. He has some very liberal ideas that he learned in college and in law school just like you did. But, ideas learned in textbooks are not always good in reality. Since you are asking, why did cnn, cnbc, cbs, abc, nbc and npr always attack Bush while he was in office and still attack him now? Is it ok to attack Bush but not to oppose Obama's ideas? Doesn't that show a double standard?
16. Because they are intelligent and love America would be my guess.
17. It's basically the same reason why many on CCN and MSNBC didn't like Bush. They felt the President is taking this country in the wrong direction. Problem is Hannity, Beck and O'Rielly are not reporters (that's a lib lie) but are very much like Obermann they give their views. Personally, I haven't seen much from Obama that makes me want to support him. I've seen more that only reinforces my belief that he is a popular guy, but a poor leader (and I watch about as much FOX as I do CNN).
18. They, especially Hannity, are sore losers/
19. Here's a suggestion for you. Why don't you listen to what they are saying, and you will have your answer.
20. As far as I can see neither Fox nor Hannity are doing anything different from what the Liberals in media were doing to Bush for the last 8 years. I would bet that the majority of your teachers at Ohio State were liberals and had very little good to say about President Bush.
21. Because he said he would have an ethical administration and then picked a serial tax cheat as the Treasury Secretary. This guy didn't know that he couldn't declare his kids summer camp as a business expense and he is now in charge of the IRS?! He signed an executive order saying that no lobbyists would be allowed in his administration and then before the ink was dry on the executive order he lifted it to allow two lobbyists in his administration and since then has lifted it so many times I have lost count of how many are now been allowed in! He signed an executive order closing Gitmo and when asked about it he had to ask his general counsel for the answer. He had to get help to answer a question about an executive order he supposedly wrote!? He must be dumber than Bush! In 4 months he has doubled the national debt. You Democrats whined about Bush's spending but seem to be suddenly mute about Obama's spending. Bush did also double the national debt but it took him 8 years to do it. The amount that Obama has added to the national debt is more than all previous presidents combined. He fired the CEO of a privately owned car company. Sounds like Socialism. He made banks who did not need TARP money take it and now that they want to pay it back he won't take it. Sounds like Socialism! He confiscated the investments of the people who invested in Chrysler and then gave controlling interest to the UAW who had no money invested in the company. He also gave the government something like 15% which is more than he gave the rightful owners who had money invested. Sounds like Socialism. He goes to other counties and appologizes for the US to despots and dictators and then stands there and smiles while they run down the US right in front of him. He promised to stop earmarks and pork in bills (Pelosi also promised this two years ago) and then goes on sign the so called stimulus bill and the Omnibus bill both of which are mostly pork. He says that he is not interested in the government owning and running businesses yet they some how now own and/or control AIG, several banks, Chrysler,and soon GM! Both Obama and the Democrat party are looking for ways to censor people who dissent with them or their policies! Sounds like Fascism.
22. Obama is about the most liberal person ever to hold the office of president. He is actively destroying everything conservatives hold dear. Why on Earth would conservative pundits not criticize him. He's the worst thing a conservative could ever imagine.
23. Obama has said and done things that are unacceptable to many people. Conservative people get anxious when a rookie starts running the show without sensible restraint. Conservative are not attacking President Barack Hussein Obama. They are pointing out concerns that he could have and, arguably, should have listened to. Conservatives find it unconscionable to sign a bill without first reading it. Our President would have earned some respect had he insisted that the legislative branch take a second look at the bill and give him something that would meet the needs with less than half the risk. Conservative people understand that when you find yourself in a hole, that you put the shovel down and start climbing out. President Obama seems to think that we should dig really fast. Conservative people realize that there are times when a somber appearance is appropriate. President Obama and his Vice President frequently grin from ear to ear when everyone else is expressing deep concern - as if there is something humorous or that it is time for a photo-op. Why do many conservative people question the President's judgement and his actions?
24. Fox news and a large percentage of the country are criticizing President Teleprompter because he is bankrupting America with his irresponsible spending. Under Bush the defecit was 2% to 3% of GDP. Under Obama it is 12.8% of GDP. Fox news is not the only ones criticizing the Spender in Chief, Steven Moore of the Wall Street Journal recently called Obama's spending "Insane"
25. Because they cannot handle having an African American President. These Conservatives are also perplexed that more people is leaving the Republican Party each day. Even Right Wing Nuts like Joe the Plumber are leaving the Republican Party.
26. Why did dims bash President Bush for 8years? You guys are hilarious--when repubs do what you do daily--you mind.. The reason obmamam gets bashed is he sucks--and is failure and disgrace to America--and its citizens. Maybe they should have done to him what he wants done to Rush--what a P.O. S. osama is.
27. The knuckle draggers are out full force today. If Rush shows up, that'll be the whole GOP. Who needs FOX5.
28. Well, golly. Because we love America and despise anyone whose actions, regardless of how ignorant and well meaning, would harm her and deprive her people of the strength and freedom that made this nation great. What did you expect? That we'd just roll over and let him and his narrow minded, misguided followers ruin our nation without a fight? And, please. The 'wait and see if his initiatives work crowd' is the worst of all. By the time we, and they, know that they don't, it is too late. The damage is done. And to anyone with two brain cells to rub together it would be obvious. This is not rocket science. So, we'll fight him every step of the way. But good question, hope that helps.
29. They are not attacking Obama as a person but his agenda he has on the USA economy and other things like weaker defence. I am pretty sure Geraldo supports Obama. Nothing wrong with those on welfare except welfare is a crutch for some that find it easier to just sit at home and do nothing. plus look at Cali that state is in deficit because of welfare and illegal immigrants.
30. It just shows how left-wing loonies have overtaken the state university system. Obama is leading us down the path towards Marxism. Even Democrats are scared stiff of this guy who is following Saul Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals". Use your smarts to see reality, not theorize what could be if everyone just smiled. It's like that Walgreen ad... there is fantasy land, and then there is reality.
31. Maybe because he is a Socialist, incompetent, self-aggrandizing, egotistical, ego-maniacal, self-serving and flat out dangerous to the foundations of our country...like freedom and democracy. Beyond that, maybe the fine folks over at Fox just think Obama is a frigging twit in a suit! Oh...and I bet you had noooo problem when all the whiny Liberals were on this site attacking George Bush. Typical of the hypocrisy that is so prevalent in todays society. Especially from the Obama sycophants!
32. where have you been the past 100 days or so?
33. Why do you have a problem with conservatives speaking up? Liberals do it? Were you this concerned when liberals attacked President Bush? Let's not make this a one way street. Everyone has a right to freedom of speech and FOX News is a NEWS show that talks about the news.
34. The intransigent ideologues of the right are simply to dense to see; or, to stubborn to admit that their anachronistic policies are destroying the republican party. It is no accident that 20% of republicans voted democratic in 08, and that 72% of those were under 55.
35. They have nothing worth offering up as a solution, so they are reduced to babbling, like the brooks.
36. Ratings. 'Nuff said
