Barack Obama's office made a call to MSNBC about Mark Halperin, who was suspended shortly after
Yesterday, Time magazine editor and television political pundit, Mark Halperin, called U.S. President, Barack Obama, a "di*k" on national television. MSNBC suspended him, after receiving a call from President Obama's representative at the White House, complaining about the comment that made it onto the air, due to a MSNBC technician pressing the wrong button in the control booth (smooth). Halperin is being punished for exercising his right to free speech, revealing the limits being placed on the Constitution.
President Obama's office did what he instructed them to, as he does not take criticism well. Obama has even employed an individual on the taxpayers' dime, Jesse Lee, to argue with people on Twitter, when they write unflattering stories about him. Journalists and bloggers have publicly complained of President Obama, having blogs and other websites, penalized or shutdown for writing unflattering pieces about him.
Mark Halperin: Uh oh!
Many have rightly labeled this conduct censorship and a violation of free speech, as prescribed by the Constitution. The Judiciary Report has experienced this firsthand and can attest, the President is actively trying to shape his press via censorship, by pulling strings at companies such as Google, to punish those that freely publish the truth.
Under the law, it is the President's job to, "Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" - not impede, thwart, violate or destroy it out of self-interest, when one does not like what is being said or written.
