		<description><![CDATA[THE WHITE HOUSE &#8211; Despite the President&#8217;s promise of a swift and decisive victory, Obama&#8217;s War on Fox News has developed all signs of an unwinnable quagmire, making the White House even more isolated in its unilateral attempts to crush the growing media insurgency.&#160;
