Stand with me. I am your power. I am your retribution for the sins and greed of the corporations … and those petty Bourgeoisie who think that they know better than the State. They will be dealt with. They will bow to the People .. to me.

Thanks OhEssYouCowboys, for putting words to the face. These proclamations are President Obama campaigning to replace God, and must be remembered on election day.

Excuse me, but does anybody really believe that the only reason Perella Weinberg caved was because administration attack dogs threatened them with bad press??? Just speculating here, but they couldn’t exactly say they were going to be booted off the Administration consulting team — which would, of course, indicate a massive conflict of interest — could they?

If these allegations are true, wouldn’t that be a clear case of abuse of power?

Not that it matters if it is, just wondering for the sake of argument.

Still patiently waiting for Shrillary to start leaking inside WH stuff…that is, if they let her be privy to any of it.

She’s married. Good thing we don’t have government health care yet because treatment will be doled out by party affiliation.

She’s not married.

Someone in that press room jumped to his/her feet first when Obama came in. I want to know who that was.

The WHPC are such bitches for the Dear Leader, they would pass along all the talking points given to them by the world famous spokesman, Gibbs, and not even know they were being used.

They will ignore as long as possible, then minimize the story ala the tea parties.

Okay, tons of comments on other threads, just a few here. Will any network other than FNC cover the Lauria/Chrysler/Perrella-Weinstein story. When the alphabet networks finally cover this story it will be only to regurgitate White House talking points. And yet they wonder why their ratings suck.

ernesto:

I think the fact that Bush was popular in his first term actually made the press hate him more and go after him more. They made it their job to do everything they could to ruin the man.

I think that if it were up to pitch fork America, Chrysler would just go under. I don’t really think the folks with the pitch forks like the idea of the President of the United States ignoring the 5th Amendment.

but it does stand to reason that a president thats popular would garner better coverage.

ernesto on May 5, 2009 at 2:55 PM

You’re a nitwit. There have been very popular presidents who got crap coverage from your buddies in the press. They were Republicans, if not conservatives.

Maybe we should remind Todd of the very hated, by the press, but popular Richard M. Nixon. I lived through his press coverage and it was all peaches and cream.

Popular or not I just want them to take of the rose colored glasses and focus some criticism on the most powerful man in the world. Is that really so much to ask? We need a different press corps, one that isn’t in awe of afraid of power.
