The media is really brazen on this one. I’ve lost count how many times a reporter or commentator said the President attacked Obama.

BUMP! Propagandists covering for their offended creation/messiah.

It says something for Democrat touchiness that the minute a guy makes a generalized observation about folks who appease terrorists and dictators the Dems assume: Hey, they’re talking about me.

Actually, the piling on that took place by the Dems over the President's generalized observation clearly foreshadows the tone and timbre of the upcoming fight between Obama and McCain.

On a level playing field, McCain might have a chance. But whenever he opens his mouth, Obama and Co. will do what they did this past week.

They are starting even now. Listen for Obama saying words like, "My opponent is going to say" or "Mr. McCain will say".
I have heard him say these words when he was speaking about the furor over Reverend Wright. McCain never said a word. Yet the more impressionable voters who hear Obama say such things will have it stuck in their head that McCain is a racist. They will attempt to paint anyone who opposes or speaks out against Obama as a racist. Sit back and watch the show. It's going to get ugly. Even without Hillary in the race.

The Magic Negro must have thighs of steel from walking around with those yapping MSNBC mutts (Abrams, Matthews, and Olbermann-boy) trying to out leg-hump one another on the Messiah.

Just saw a segment on the TODAY show while surfing. NBC “reporter” interviewed a black writer for the WaPo editorial page...guess what...?

Obama gets as “A” for his response to this “attack” from the Bush White House. Implication is...this was a disgraceful use of the President’s offices in a political campaign...

No one else was interviewed...no other point of view allowed...the casual TV watcher would believe that Obama was unfairly attacked and stood his ground in a way that was outstanding...

this is what passed for tv “news” today.

Propagandists at work, marveling at their creation.

When you think about the level of criticism that ANY politician, regardless of party or affiliation, takes as a matter of course, Obama seems even more pathetic.

Look back on routine day-to-day “attacks” that the Clintons (both of them), President Bush, McCain, Pelosi...any of them...face and then compare with the veiled comments that President Bush made and you realize what a crybaby Obama and his cult are.

President Bush didn't mention any Democrat in his address. But it still stuck a nerve. If these people aren't doing what the President describes, they're shrug it off. But they don't and that's very revealing about their inner psychological landscape.

Barack cleverly presented himself as a victim. The propagandists joyously amplified.

Get used to it. It’s going to be a Obama lovefest until election day. Like you said, it’s already started. You’d think Bush is the most hated person in the world..the worst person ever to be elected to any office...they need to do that in order to keep saying “BUSH’S THIRD TERM.”

THEY ARE ALL IN IN TOGETHER.

Obama may have a messiah complex, but I refer to him as the Obama Lama. Since the elistist, secular progressive gang adores the Dalai Lama almost as much as Barry Obama, the moniker ‘Obama Lama’ seems quite appropriate.

“That's a show of disrespect to me” is the formal way of saying “dissing me” which tends to be an answer that is supposed to end all discussion and often leads to physical confrontation. I find that Obama’s use of that phrase is very telling in and of itself. I also find it very alarming. It shows great immaturity and I shudder to think that this man could be given the responsibility of the Oval Office.

Obama decided that the President’s speech was really about him... “That’s enough. That’s a show of disrespect to me.”

"If you throw a rock over a fence, it's the hit dog that hollers."
~Mike Huckabee~

And, taking their cue from the soon-to-be nominee’s weirdly petty narcissism, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Joe Biden, and co. piled on..."

Soundslike a wholelotta Hit Dogs ahollering over that fence... Musta been quite a rock Bush tossed over there attem.

It's like American Idol Runs for President. If he ever whips out a guitar and starts playing, we are toast.

An "A". No, Obama's response is an "F".

Just like his speech on "race" 2 months ago in response to the hateful Rev. Wright, this retort is an "F". Now if you recall at the time, the media declared Obama's race speech to be amazing and compared him to Abraham Lincoln. The liberal media said the Wright issue was once and for all put behind us.

All lies.

So now its 2 months later and the issue has not gone to rest. He now appears distrustful to "white voters" and is losing swing states in the primaries.

“They will have full complicity of the media, to include Fox.”

Why then have I seen so many FoxNews people gouging Obama over this? I have heard several of Fox people bring up the fact that Obama’s name was never even mentioned.

Increasingly, the Western world has attitudes rather than policies.

Once again, Mark Steyn is doing the work that American MSM journalists won't. I will alwasys deeply regret that I missed him speak last fall at Hillsdale. Next time, for sure!

Thanks for the post, goldstategop. Thanks for the ping, knews_hound.

Are they or are they giving it LOTS of air time.

The hope of the Obama camp is to confront any gaffe or problem with a diversion.....in this instance, manufactured outrage that consumes air time.
