It's happening again! The impatient, ratings loving media is turning on the guy they helped elect. Anderson Cooper and Paul Begala succumb to Ari Fleischer.
This was my hope and my expectation all along.
The media is coming to understand that Barack Obama is a liar and a loser.
Pass the popcorn and watch it unfold.

Paul Begala, aka: “the forehead” never gives a dull moment.
Just loving the backflips righ now :)
Paging Daily KOS....Paging Daily KOS.
They gotta show obuma who’s really the boss! I love to watch inbred family fighting!
Hey, all you obambi supporters out there - still feeling good about electing someone so completely unprepared and unqualified (and quite probably ineligible)??? You're witnessing on-the-job training at the highest levels... (sad but true, not sarcasm)
At the same time Pelosi is trying to pull out of a flat spin...
I’m kinda leaning on this scenario that Rush said today:
RUSH: Yada yada yada yada yada. Okay, so, what he did is he instructed the Justice Department to appeal the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision to release the photos. He didn’t have to go to the Justice Department. He could have issued an executive order. This is key. This is important to understand. The fact that he opposes the release of the photos means nothing, because all they have to do at the Justice Department — let me tell you how these things work. His legal counsel is Greg Craig, the lawyer representing Fidel Castro and the father down there in Cuba in the Elian Gonzales story. All they have to do is write a pitiful brief. All they have to do is instruct the Justice Department lawyers or even Greg Craig himself, in their appeal, to write a half-assed brief.
When you write a half-assed brief, an incompetent brief, or one without passion, you’re sending a signal to the judges that you don’t care how they rule. So we’ll see. If they file a half-assed brief on this and send a signal to the justices on the Supreme Court to uphold the Second Circuit, then the pictures will come out. I don’t know how soon the appeal will be heard, but the bottom line here is that opposing the release. This is what’s incredible. He says, “I oppose it!” He’s acting like an innocent bystander here. He’s acting like members of Congress after the subprime crisis: “Whoa, wha’ happened? Well, we’re not going to let this happen again! We’re going to get whoever is responsible for this, and we’re gonna nail ‘em to the wall.” Obama is acting like, “I — I — I oppose the release of the pictures. I’ll do what I can. (mumbling)”
He could prevent this with an executive order. The statute in this case permits it. But he’s not doing executive order. He’s letting the Justice Department object and appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. If they file a half-assed brief, the judges look at the government’s brief and say, “They really don’t care about this. Okay, we’ll side with the Second Circuit,” and the pictures will come out. So therefore, just because he opposes the release of the pictures does not mean they will not be released. So he’s gonna, I think, get two birds with one stone here. And when the pictures come out, when the court rules against the government, he’s gonna go on television and say, “I tried everything I could,” whatever the teleprompter tells him to say. But he’s going to have it both ways, his buddies on the left are going to get what they want: the pictures released. And he’s going to be able to say, “I stood up and opposed it,” when the truth is, an executive order will take care of this hook, line, and sinker once and for all right now, but he’s not going that route.
“obama’s decision (so far) to not release the pictures show that he is learning.”
He is learning nothing. He is calculating. He is waiting, preparing to strike even harder.
Just wait; he’ll release them and say he really didn’t want to, but the American public insisted.
Probably Pelosi is on many of them...
LOL. thats a good one..could you see her in the background, "hey poke him in the eye!"
I tend to agree with you on this point.
If his lawyer brigade screws up the appeal - he can always say to his followers .... justice was decided - then promptly wash his hands and say it was beyond his control.
That way the Moonbats are satisfied ... the pictures are out. The Joe Six-Pack brigade thinks he tried, and the RINO’s can heave a sigh of relief because they didn’t have to do anything.
