Jon Stewart (Yes, That Jon Stewart) has a very pointed and very funny piece about the the same ol’ rhetoric being treated in a whole new way thanks to the golden lips that deliver it.
Kudos to Stewart for being one of the only people to point out the obvious during yesterday’s lovefest.

Told to say by whom? The liberal idiots that bash Bush based on horrendously ignorant statements like this, but fail to recognize Obama’s complete incompetence for the executive office that he undeservedly holds was based on what was a surreal popularity contest is absurd. the total idiocity of liberals to rant and rave about “them” and “they” show their chronic stupidity and few people hold them accountable; surely not the media that protects Obama regardless of the facts. The media has totally forgotten about Obama’s admitted Cocaine usage and the yet unresolved issue about whether or not he was foreign born! If you want to state facts that are wrong or just opinion, get ready for a BS flag because although Obama is in office, it doesn’t mean he will stay there.

Vincent – you are a complete idiot and brainless people like you are why America is failing in virtually all of its pursuits. You can’t tell the difference between reality and rhetoric.

Obama now is directing the private sector CEO’s have salary caps if they get public money. Although on the surface a logical idea, in reality it is the nose of a socailist camel working its way into an American tent. Slowly, very slowly and with public and media acceptance, Obama is taking control of more and more areas that the Executive Office has no place. He is in office due to America’s infatuation with AMERICAN IDOL and elected him on the same popularity (not ability) premise, and now is passing judgement on wages of THE PRIVATE SECTOR! Tell me somebody is paying attention!! He says he wants and the media supports him, he fails and they apologize for him, he says he screwed up and the media cannonizes while taking a cheap shot at his predesessor. Obama can do no wrong, and if the stimulus package fails it will be the fault of the nasty Republicans – not that he fronted a horrible bill, but if it is enacted and fails then he will simply blame the previous administration and others. HE CAN’T LOSE! Look closely people as Obama’s mistakes are quietly bypassed as he takes more and more unilateral actions that affect us all while his minions are too dumb to see that they are supporting someone much, much worse than Bill Clinton for grabbing undeserved power.

As a complete indication of Obama’s abilities, focus and ambition take a look at what Obama’s efforts consist of to pass this importaant legislature. Does he spend time talking with leaders on the hill? No. Does he negotiate with other politicians to shape a better bill? No. Does he offer both sides of the isle a compromise? No. What does Obama do? he heads straight for the media to charm them into putting out his pleas. He makes the rounds of TV interviews and writes an OpEd piece. He should appoint a Hollywood press agent as his “Secretary of buzz” as he seems to be consumed with being an icon and less of a President. He is working the press because he knows that they love him and will suck up anything he says as gospel and blow it all over America as the words from on high. No real questions about what if this doesn’t work, what is his recovery plan if the recession persists, and what will America do if a bad natural disaster occurs, or if really bad people attack us again and we are too poor to mount a good national defense? All the media does is sit and giggle in Obama’s presence, toss him softballs and then have their pitcure taken with him off-camera. We don’t have a President – we have a smooth-talking popularity contest winner of “American Idol – The Presidency”.

Hello, anybody out there. Any liberals willing to defend this worthless excuse of a President? Anybody willing to defend his Presidency that seems to thrive infront of media lights but is dismally ineffective with other politicians? Anybody want to say this is the change they thought they were after? Anybody want to say Obama the media whore is better than Bush that led us through 9/11? Somebody. Anybody!!

Obama’s next cabinent appointment is Minister of Hollywood Affairs, followed by Secretary of Televison (news media) and Secretary of television (Fluff). His appointment calender will center around any broadcast events and Madonna will be his coach for shameless self-aggrandizementing. More to come.

Are you saying Obama is like a Kato Kaelan; he shamelessly shows up for any media event that cameras and lights are on, nobody knows why he is there, or how he got there, has a background of living off of others and leaves everyone scratching their heads asking WHY IS THIS GUY FAMOUS? WOW!

Q: How do you get Obama out of the White House?
A: Tell him CBS, NBC, CNN or ABC are are doing interviews in their studios!!!

How come the media has not asked the simple question if Obama was given credit for being so thorough and giving every person that wanted a job a questionarre that was 36 pages long, did that questionarre ask “do you pay your taxes?” a fairly basic question, especially for Daschle. So, if that basic question was NOT asked, then I guess Obama isn’t as sharp as the media touts. OR the question was asked and Daschle lied (but Obama supported him anyway). OR The question was asked and Daschle told the truth and Obama selected him ANYWAY hoping the confirmation hearings would miss it. OR Obama knew and thought it was explainable until damage control got away from him. No matter what it shows media as incompetent at best or biased enough to ignore asking the questions that have no “Obama safe” answer. You guys suck!

Please read RULE BY SECRECY by Jim Marrs and THE TRUE STORY OF THE BILDERBERG GROUP before condemning either President. Our Presidents are now well-paid mouth pieces who take the hits for the policies of those who control them and Congress and The Supreme Court. These rulers are amoral, and abortion is part of their agenda. They have been working for a long time for our financial destruction. If you are going to kill the messenger, make it quick!
