Apricot Kolaches, the President and the Media

Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Wednesday, January 4, 2012. School is in session this morning and Prof. StoptheBull is lecturing. He will be discussing the unholy alliance that exists between President Obama and the liberal media. Let's prepare Apricot Kolaches for breakfast, fill our thermoses, grab our notebooks and head for class.

You will need 2 cups milk, 4 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, 2 packages rapid rise yeast, 6 cups flour and 1 jar of apricot preserves.

Scald 2 cups milk and add the butter. In a mixing bowl, add sugar and salt, pour in milk and allow to cool to lukewarm. Add yeast and gradually add flour. Knead until smooth, cover and let rise for about an hour. Roll dough into 2 inch balls, place them 1 inch apart on a baking sheet and let rise for another 30 minutes. Create a hollow in the middle of the roll and place 1 tablespoon preserves in the middle. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

You will probably be late for class, so I suggest you mix up a few dozen Irish Coffees and bring them to the professor. He will forgive your tardiness and appreciate the liquid refreshment. See you in class.

Good morning students. If you want a perfect example of what not to do should you become president you have come to the right place. President Obama has been inviting liberal and progressive media people to breakfast in the White House. Three of the invitees are MSNBC hosts. The media stars chat with the president about his economic message and his campaign strategies against the GOP. It is one big unholy family gathering, no conservatives allowed. The pretend journalists make suggestions about policy and how the president should get his message out.

It is absolutely disgusting to watch this president and the media unite in an effort to influence public opinion. This is probably the most transparent President Obama has been since his election. He is biased, not at all interested in the welfare of all of the people of this nation and completely consumed with power and holding onto the presidency. This president is not above using every single means he can to keep his place in the sun. He has the unions working for him, ACORN (even tough they don't exist), George Soros and all of his left wing groups and the media.

The people of this nation no longer have media looking out for them and reporting the unbiased truth. The one news outlook that makes the attempt, Fox News, is a target of the White House. President Obama courts the liberal press and they worship at his feet, doing his bidding and corrupting the intent of journalism. We are at a low point in this country and we had better turn it around come election time or we will continue the descent into ruin.

We need a president in the White House who, once elected, keeps the best interests of the people in mind and not his party or his backers. We need a president who backs off from meetings in the White House with people who are supposed to report the news and not manipulate it. We need to restore integrity into the election process, rid the system of union influence and corruption, require photo I.D. of everyone, restore journalism to it's original roots and adhere to the principles of the Founding Fathers who knew that if we abandoned our beginnings we would come to where we are now.

Let's try to get the "dirty" out of politics by demanding high standards from those we place in office. We can force the phony journalists off the air by changing the channel and we can get the leadership we deserve by doing our research and making the atmosphere welcoming to people of intelligence and integrity. Let's begin now. It's 2012 and we must seize the moment. That is your homework assignment. CLASS DISMISSED...POP
