So just how much is this little campaign appearance going to cost the taxpayer? Remember to vote early and vote often.

That is one heck of a movie, and we do need some sort of “V” of course immensely less violent. Fight skills kick ass though.

Not using TOTUS leaves him more then a little challenged in choosing his words. Ever notice how much his speech sounds like an uneducated teenager. I know he’s difficult to follow but listen for him reaching for words. Have you ever played the game, Gossip? He heard about the tea parties and Fox coverage of him, but when he tries to discuss it, can’t come up with the words. He may be a sharp politician but he’s not intelligent.

Sat, 02 May 2009 12:47:02 +0000

[...] Zeleny directly follows by saying, “It’s one of the reasons I asked it …”, thus openly admitting he intended to serve up Obama a ‘softball‘. He went on to compare the timing of the question to a “seventh inning stretch” and posited why not allow the President to stretch a little bit. What? This a press conference and the people need answers to important questions about the decisions he has made, ones he is going to make, explanations for controversial moves made by his administration, and the state of America. It IS NOT the job of the press to give him a breather. Could you imagine Helen Thomas giving Bush a breather? Right. He later tries to justify the question by saying the answers told America a little bit about The One. Wasn’t this what that drawn-out, two-year campaign was for? Does this reporter work for the New York Times or as I stated in an early post, Tiger Beat Magazine? Where is the press?! [...]

the thought that Barack Obama might be grouchy because he feels he’s not getting enough airtime these days is simply mind-boggling.

I don’t think he’s just grouchy because he thinks he’s not getting enough air time… I think he’s just that power hungry and a bit insecure that he feels the need for absolute domination. In that sense FOX is a huge thorn in the side of his success. It’s a bit frightening that this one person/party has almost completely taken over the airwaves.

Journalism is dead. Thank God for Fox. The Tea Parties are a great example of why I say that. The other “news” channels have adopted the tactics of Pravda, and simply refuse to report anything even questioning President Teleprompter, or anything like a movement calling his policies into question…

One day, this Utopia Obama is trying to sell will obviously end up as a massive failure. The only news organization that will have any credibilty left will be Fox. I’m especially looking forward to the corruption charges the Obama administration will be brought up on in regards to GE and the wind turbine conspiracy to bilk the American people. That’s going to make Watergate look like girl scouts on a camping trip…

**ALERT**

I was trying to find the link where I saw that Pres. Obama was going to appear on American Idol. It was a Yahoo link but when I went look for it so I could put it up here I am questioning whether it’s legit. I think at this point Simon Cowell has expressed his desire for the president to come to the show. I don’t think he has committed or may not even know about. Sorry, I don’t want to be a fibber. My mistake for not being more careful about the site.

The stench of the Carter administration in wafting across this country. In 5 years, Oslime-a’s name will be synonymous with Carter. We will be debating who was the most psychologically damaged, and how we cannot seem to find very many people who will admit to voting for this despicable sack of Marxist dung.

My question’s in earnest, incidentally. This may be S.O.P. among president/media relations, although even if it is, the thought that Barack Obama might be grouchy because he feels he’s not getting enough airtime these days is simply mind-boggling.

Dude, he complained during the campaign that he might’ve been even higher in the polls if not for Fox News! Remember the discussion we had yesterday about narcissism? It is not governed by what you and I think is rational.
