Fox Nation vs. Reality: Obama’s Empathy Exposed

During an online town hall with President Obama a woman asked a question (video below) regarding her husband’s difficulty finding work despite having an engineering degree and ten years of experience. She wanted to know why the country continues to issue H1B visas when there are Americans looking for work? Fox Nation editorialized on Obama’s answer saying that he “came off sounding totally baffled and out of touch.” The Fox Nationalists described it in their headline story as “Not Obama’s Most Empathetic Moment.”

The negative interpretation by Fox Nation could only have come from a seriously prejudiced viewer. Obama’s response was both caring and helpful. He told the woman that there is a huge demand for engineers around the country and that her husband should not be having trouble finding a job (depending on his particular specialty). He noted that H1B visas are only available for companies that have been unable to find Americans to fill their job vacancies. Then he asked her to send her husbands resume and he would see to it that it gets to people who are hiring. The woman then tells the President that she appreciates his response and that she will take him up on his offer.

How the Fox Nationalists saw that as lacking empathy would be a mystery if you were unaware of their desperate determination to see everything Obama does as either evil, incompetent, uncaring, or un-American. But you have to admire their gall in publishing such a biased opinion along with the video that proves their opinion is bullshit.
