CBS News Chief:Everybody,including Republicans,would say that his first 100 days have been great.

Rick Kaplan apparently has been at the airplane glue again. In a New York Times piece discussing how much more favorable the news coverage has been to Obama than it was to both Bush and Clinton, Kaplan, the Executive Producer of the CBS Evening News, gave a whopper of a quote full of self-delusion, personal bias, and a keen ignorance of what the news is supposed to be.

It’s been great if you like piling up huge, unpayable debt, insulting our friends, sucking up to our enemies, and nationalizing major corporations.

Bow before the Saudi King, apologize to the world, reveal vital national security secrets, turn your back on Israel, appear on Al Jazeera, nationalize the banks, nationalize the auto industry, appoint nothing but tax cheats and nuts to your cabinet, -— shall I go on?

The MSM is delusional.

If by “great” it means “didn’t (fully) turn the planet into something out of mad max, yet”, yeah, it’s been great. Having low expectations has to be good for something.

I'm a Republican, Rick. His first 100 days have been a disaster in which he has actively sought to destroy our economy in order to bring about socialism, a catastrophe during which he has severely damaged our ability to defend ourselves and a debacle in which he has made every effort to end freedom as the birthright of every American.

Obama is a villain who despises America... and self-loathing, weak-kneed Americans voted him into office. More than half of my fellow countryman now desire their own destruction. No nation can survive under such conditions.

All I had to see was the name Rick Kaplan to stop right there... that man has a loooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg reputation going back to CNN when he made it into the Clinton News Network then over to MSNBC where he orchestrated it’s downward spin into the most liberal on TV, he was at ABC either before or after CNN, forget which and now he manages Katie Couric and I would imagine is behind some of her Palin dirty tricks...and he is the one who told Hillary to wear the headband and act like the demure little wife way back in the 60 minutes interview she and Bill did to stop the gossip over his affairs.

Another MediØbamaGasm. CBS is quite comfortable wallowing in the wet spot.

And you guys even left out the DVD “gift”, the big-screen teleprompter, “Scare Force One” and other gaffes, large and small.

The problem with loons like Kaplan is that they won’t debate anyone on the issues. He’s just another mouthpiece for the Obama administration that has zero credibility in my eyes.

Great is not the word I’d use, a nightmare from which you cannot wake is more descriptive.

Would everyone, including Democrats, agree that 8 years of President Bush’s administration have been great, too? ...Oh, is that a No, Mr. Kaplan?
