Vanity Fair writer Michael Lewis agreed to allow the White House to approve the quotations he used from President Barack Obama in his story about the president in this month's magazine."Like other journalists who write about Washington and presidential politics, Mr. Lewis said that he had to submit to the widespread but rarely disclosed practice of quote approval," reports the New York Times.
I venture to guess that during the Stalin administration the writers at Pravda could probably say the same thing. They agreed with their leader and knew what to write without much supervision. Or they would not have been hired in the first place. Occasionally the censors would make a few changes, but Michael Lewis would not feel out of place.

One wonders why Obama was ticked at the Seals revelation. Now we know. He has such a controlling personality that to allow anyone to blame him for anything, takes his pride in Dad's radicalism away!!!! After his dissing of BIBI again and Israel, I would love a story on Bama's views on Israel and Iran NOW. He fears BIBI and he knows that Romney is a friend of BIBI. Can you imagine a story the WH could not censor on the ME and the real Obama agenda and thoughts on Israel coming out now? After these 4 years, it is a wonder any Jewish voter in the US would cast their vote for this Quisling to America and Israel.
