Obama is a political force the likes of which the country hasnt seen for many years perhaps ever. He is handsome, well dressed, articulate and charming all wrapped up in one extremely charismatic package.

The press writes what the masses want to read. Right now the masses want to read about our wonderful president. All of this of course is subject to change.

I am extremely proud to be represented by a thinking man that, right or wrong, has the best interests of the people at heart. It was embarassing that we actually elected a guy, not once but TWICE, that doesnt believe in evolution. Think about that...and then consider why the media is so in love with this guy.

Of course it will. Plenty of opportunities to stumble when you are the leader of the free world, in trying domestic and international times. The odds of flying through his eight years in office completely intact are nil.

But it's very refreshing to have a leader of the free world that is intelligent, articulate, worldly, doesn't believe dinosaurs and humans walked the earth together, didn't drink his way through college, and publically speaks at a freshman in high school level, rather than a fourth grade level.

Unemployment is at 9.4%. Remember when Obama and co said their plan would never allow it to get over 8%? You know like a few months ago? what about when it hits 10% +? Are we still gonna get puff pieces about Obama's new suit and good looks? When the dollar crashes and oil continues to rise and gas prices hit $3.50 a gallon you think he will still have a 62% approval rating? There a lot of people in this country that are very much against this regime and birth certificates, race, and religion have nothing to do with it.

You got links on that Chuck? I'm not doubting Obama ever said it but anyone with a brain knew it was reaching 10% with the lag on unemployment after a recession so it seems a bit uncharacteristic for him to say something that dumb.

Really who gives a frogs fat azz how the press blows sunshine up the presidents azz , I dont , I have long stopped caring what the talking heads say and have been more interested in what is happening in our country.
I think that alot of Americans are on some polyanna high , consumed with the talking and the speeches which is fine if it keeps you going.
I really dont care about all the blabber and azz kissing and saying we are a sorry azz nation for being a tough guy , I want to see America back to being the productive giant we used to be without all the crutches that the federal government would like to offer us. Its time for Americans to get innovative and off their azzez and prove what we are made of , we are not a country made of government bailouts and government handouts , we are crafty Americans and we need to remember that .

He says a lot of dumb things. He just says it with charisma!!! I distinctly recall one of the lackeys saying that his "stimulus" plan would "create" enough new jobs to keep unemployment levels below a high water mark of 8%. I wont bother to look up a link because the libs here will just blame Bush anyway. While it is an opinion piece (and yes Dala the WSJ is a reasonable source) this op-ed spells out more of the blueprint behind the Obama regimes plan.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124467627264104053.html

The main political question now is when Americans will start to figure out Mr. Obama's pattern of spend, repent and repeat. The President is still sailing along on his charm and the fact that Americans are cheering for an economic recovery. But eventually they'll see that he isn't telling them the truth, and when they do, the very Blue Dogs he's trying to protect will pay the price. And they'll deserve what they get.

Can everyone agree now that Obama's White House staff said 8%???


And if anyone comes back with "well those words didnt actually come out of Obama's mouth"... I surely hope they understand how silly they would look.

Obama AND co would imply Obama said it. No getting out of this one Chuckgirvan. Just admit that there is not ONE quote you can find of him saying that or simply find a link to it. Its okay to be wrong.

Please spare me your ridiclousness. Please open the link, look who wrote the paper and look at the chart on page 5. You see the little line that never rises above 8%???

The problem with so many of you apologists is that you want to get caught up in minutia instead of the topic at hand. Once again...

This is exactly what i said. The Democrats used Burnsteins projections and you are surprised that Obama is making Biden and Burnstein defend thier faulty numbers? Saying that Obama himself wasn't actually quoted is petty.

This is one of the more ridiculous assessments of the strengths of a President that I have ever seen.

The press is supposed to report the news, not give the masses what they want to hear. They are supposed to question politicians pointedly about the issues at hand instead of just drinking the cool-aid. That is what the two articles were about.

Just not being Bush isn't going to work forever.

LOL. You are questioning WHY the press is so in love with Obama and I told you. Is what I said here true, ridiculous or not?

It seems this forum is almost a microcosm of the way the press handles obama. Half of the people on here love him and he can do no wrong. The other half, yourself included, would rather spend your time smearing his minister then actually talking about the issues.

For the record, one wasnt even an article. It was a blog.

I have never bothered smearing his Minister (though the minister seems to do enough smearing on his own) because i believe Obama to be a religious as myself, aka- not very. The Press is in love with Obama because they are mostly left leaning as he is. That is hard to debate. Are newspaper circulations and liberally slanted tv and radio programs rising because of all this is what the people want to hear theories? I disagree with most of his policies and agenda and the double talk and untruths that he propagates yet is given a pass for.

The blog contained a piece written by an AP writer and I posted another link to the same story afterwards. Wasnt the actual plan written by the administrations economists enough for you?
