Farewell to a Decade of Media Drooling Over Barack Obama
MRC News Busters (Per Drudge Link) ^ | January 9, 2017 | Rich Noyes

Posted on 01/10/2017 3:00:49 AM PST by tired&retired

From the moment then-state senator Barack Obama showed up on the national stage to address the Democratic convention in 2004, the news media were in love. “Obama is a rock star,” NBC’s Andrea Mitchell exclaimed during MSNBC’s live convention coverage back on July 27, 2004.

The next morning, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos echoed Mitchell’s enthusiasm: “He’s the Tiger Woods of the Democratic Party right now.”

“The video at the link is great.”

I will save the video link in case I run out of Ipecac syrup.

This gush of emotion for Obama helps you to understand why they are in a depression when Trump was elected.

In Buddhism they say that attachment causes pain. In the case of Hillary supporters it is easy to see how their “attachment” to her is causing their depression.

They have no individual identity.

0bama awards himself the ultimate Participation Medal.

He drooled over himself more that the media.

Any word, does “The One” on the right bite?

Farewell?

I don’t think so. Obama’s shadow government might get as much attention as Trump’s from the media. Get ready for Obama reading teleprompter sound bites for the media 24/7.

By assuring us that the Current Occupant is a rock star, rock stars everywhere have been diminished and dissed, even as they shout out their perverted and meaningless phrases.

The Current Occupant’s only saving grace in this comparison, is that he would NEVER make references to sexual innuendo or scatological terms. Michelle would never allow it.

The MSM doesn't choose who to love or who to hate. They are TOLD who to love and who to hate.

Garth Tater... Your screen name reminds me of the Ron White comedy routine... Are your children called Tater Tots?

“Obama is a rock star”

Yes, he’s as smart as a rock.

Yes, Barry won’t leave Washington and won’t keep quiet.
And progressives will highly likely push Michelle Obama to run for senator or the President.

I think Obama will be forgotten, just as Carter was forgotten from 1981-1993. It’s too bad Clinton brought him back to the public.

At the local CVS, they have various magazine displays. Instead of a TIME special Inauguration Issue they had “Obama—8 Years” ENOUGH already!
