You see the key words: "refuse to report", "blunders and faults, of which there are many" (for a president who supposedly has done nothing). He is "not well liked" in "much of the country" though has an over 50% approval rating over the whole country.
Samurai007 you jumped the shark with "government-funded abortions" and basically all the other Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck talking points...men who are paid to spend 4 hours a day pointing out faults in the present administration and then go home to their mansions and fat cigars and 30-year-old single malt whiskeys and think about how they are going to repeat the process the next day.

We don't know what media Noodle listens to. But since it only seems to be giving glowing reports on Obama, that tells you right there that it isn't fair and balanced. The left controls most of the media in the US, and there are many leftist news sources in Europe as well. Maybe Noodle will tell us exactly which sources he was talking about.
Half the country supports him, half does not. That support is generally concentrated in African-Americans (where he has approval ratings above 90% mostly because of his skin color) and the large cities. Outside of urban areas, most disapprove of him. That is "much of the country", as I said.
The health-care bills making their way through Congress do not have exemptions for abortion funding... in fact, there are subsidies in the Baucus bill for abortions that the Republicans tried to remove, and the Democrats blocked. And Obama has already removed restrictions on US aid money to fund abortions overseas (
