Jokes About Fox News Creep Into Obama’s Comments as the Campaign Heats Up

[SecularMotion]

Few things seem to pique President Obama like Fox News.

Consider some recent barbs from the campaign trail. At a bar in Ohio where a television was tuned to Fox News, the president joked that one of the customers should ask to change the channel. “The customer is always right,” Mr. Obama cracked.

Last week he used the network as a punch line in his stump speech, saying that “Uncle Jim” — a fictional amalgam of his conservative critics — was “a little stubborn and been watching Fox News.”

Then there was an interview with Valerie Jarrett, one of Mr. Obama’s senior advisers. Ms. Jarrett was asked why some voters had the impression that the president was attacking the rich. “Well, they may be watching one particular network,” she sniffed. “CNN?” the interviewer teased.

3. It's good 'inside' jokes

Fox News will never show him saying those things! So he can say it all he wants!
