I thought the journalists are supposed to be independent

voices outside of either party. So busted, so desperate.

It’s RACIST to criticize 0bama.

Catfight!

In a related story, columnist Dana Milbank has expressed his anguished outrage at FBI Associate Director Mark Felt, also known as “Deep Throat,” for his “stunning disloyalty” toward his former superior, President Nixon. Milbank argues that administration officials should maintain a code of silence, while the boss is still in office.

What's to criticize? He's a God.

President Obama will be just five minutes away from the first school in the nation named in his honor, but he can’t step away from his deep-pocketed pals at a Democratic Party fundraiser on Long Island to visit its students, parents at the school say. Students at the primarily Hispanic and black elementary school have been sending letters begging for an appearance by the nation’s first black president ever since they campaigned in 2008 to have the name of the school changed from Ludlum Elementary School to Barack Obama Elementary School.

That’s why the left picked him!

They’ve gotten so much accomplished during his term because the opposition was afraid of thwarting him.

...... LOL .... I don’t want “Loyalty to the President” from the press ...... I want something called “Honesty and Truth” from them which has been lacking for decades ....

[originalbuckeye]

I wonder how Millbank feels about a sitting President running from his record and actually blaming all of the messes/crises/screw-ups/destruction on the former President? The blamee being a man who has now been out of office nearly 6 years. Does that bother Millbank? No, I thought not.

During the GWB Presidency, Milbank stood out even among journalists for the virulence of his disrespect for President Bush. I doubt anyone can find him denouncing the Bush administration officials who wrote anti-Bush books while Bush was still President.

For all the harm Woodrow Wilson did as President, there is no denying that he was smart. He is the only President to have earned a Ph.D. (from Johns Hopkins in 1886). His grades as a freshman at Davidson College included a 94 in Latin and an 88 in Greek.

No doubt Obama had higher grades in more demanding subjects as a freshman at Occidental College, but refuses to release his transcripts out of an excess of modesty.

That arrogant pos and modesty? No he doesn't want to release his transcripts because he has something to hide

BTTT

[Verginius Rufus]

I was being sarcastic. That’s one fault (?) Obama can never be accused of—modesty.

[Author Mike Carnegie]

Panetta is loyal to himself, the Clintons, and the Sandinistas in that order. The alleged disloyalty is part of a Clinton campaign prepare the way for Her Thighness to be crowned in 2016.

Mr. Milbank’s frank and somewhat startling admission that President Obama surrounds himself with toadies and flatterers raises many more interesting questions.

You called it catnip...
