In a speech at Northwestern University Thursday, President Obama attacked the Fox News Channel by name.
“But I have laid out my ideas to create more jobs and grow more
wages,” Obama told students at Northwestern University following a
high-dollar fundraiser for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. ”A true opposition
party should have the courage to lay out theirs. There’s a reason fewer
Republicans are preaching doom on deficits – because they’re now
manageable.”
“There’s a reason fewer are running against Obamacare,” Obama
claimed, according to his prepared remarks, “because while good,
affordable health care might still be a fanged threat to freedom on Fox
News, it’s working pretty well in the real world.”
Obama’s decision to attack Fox, known for its tough coverage of the
president, is his latest attempt to rally Democratic voters in the
run-up to the November midterms. Current polling suggests that
Republicans are likely to recapture the Senate this year.
