If this had happened on Bush’s watch, the 1000 dead kids (so far) would be blamed directly on him.

Are you kidding? quoting Liberal Media ONLY Matters? The group OWNED BY SOROS, illegally working as a non profit corp? Who are sponsoring Obama, Clinton, ALL democrats in office today? Who have pressured GE, who own NBC and MSLSD, for fawning coverage of Obama? And, if Gov’t healthcare passes, WILL get medial record keeping rights via GE-IMAGINATION with Daschle on their board, who was to be Obama’s medical Czar? Yes, that same GE who DONATES TO OBAMA.
No conflicts here, move along.

Leaving critical positions within the administration unfilled for almost a year after being sworn in?

That might be something to be thankful about, considering what those appointees would probably be perpetrating.

CrockObama has that covered by those crazy, nut house Czars. Pretty sure that is in the Constitution somewhere…being the constitutional scholar that he is.

Obama’s world is not the same as Bush’s world. Times change. We should judge events on their merits, not project and create imaginary scenarios around past Presidents.

Obama plays too much golf. The media should cover that to some extent. I no longer care how much golf any Bush ever played while in office.

Yea, that three month Obama intervention as “president elect” trying to be co-president and force release of funding by Bush was so yesteryear.

Never let that crisis go to waste.

The issue is the media bias and the fawning love affair by this turd in office now. What if Bush said 57 states? What if Bush spoke in Muslim countries and first claimed he was not muslim, then turns around and says the greatest sound of his youth were the muslim calls to prayer?

We cannot use our heat at 70 degrees, run the AC as much, eat like we did as he does all of those and more?

HYPOCRITE.

There is ample evidence that Bush froze out MSNBC.

I know what you mean. Here he is freezing out Tim Russert on Meet The Press in 2004

And here he is giving Brian Williams (NBC) the cold shoulder all the way through an interview in August of 2006

Oh, and that one time he really dug at Matt Lauer, in August 2004, on the eve of the Republican National Convention in New York City, when Lauer secured an exclusive interview with President George W. Bush

Wow, here he is giving it to Richard Engel in an exclusive interview on The Today Show

Whew . . that took eight minutes. I’m . . . BUSHED!

What if Bush had done it?

I’m slightly more concerned about this:

Brother of Afghan Leader Is Said to Be on C.I.A. Payroll
Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of President Hamid Karzai and a suspected player in the opium trade, has gotten payments from the C.I.A. for eight years, American officials said.

Constant Parrhesia on October 27, 2009 at 3:25 PM

Proof that happened, please? I think MSNBC froze Bush out, much as Air America ‘froze’ Bush out (and hinted to the advocation of assassination of him via Randy Rhodes).

A four-hour stop in New Orleans, on his way to a $3 million fundraiser.

Snubbing the Dalai Lama.

Signing off on a secret deal with drug makers.

Freezing out a TV network.

Doing more fundraisers than the last president. More golf, too.

What…no mention of the Air Force One flyby of NYC?
How about firing an IG without following proper protocol?
Trying to open a window as a door at the White House?
Leaving critical positions within the administration unfilled for almost a year after being sworn in?

But hey, David Axelrod’s no Karl Rove….right?

Big media will pay for this “slobbering love affair”. I will never believe them again.

After they re-structure as not for profits and feed at the bailout trough of the tax-subsidized governmenr teat, they frankly won’t give a damn if anyone watches them anymore. They’ll continue to receive their 8 figure checks (Couric) got to all the fashionable parties and be “someone” in the ekes of the “beautiful people regardless.

In a sense, they created Obama, and his collapse would be their collapse as well.

I’d say they already collapsed! And when Fox starts beating out the NETWORK news, maybe they will throw out the ideologues (of course that doesn’t apply to NBC who is owned by ideologues in GE) and start reporting news.

I wonder how they are going to spin the Virginia gov race when the Republican wins BIG… Hopefully “same same” for NJ…
