How about a survey: When will obama jump the shark with (a)the media (b) the general public?

They love to raise them up, but even more fun, they love to tear them down

Thats what I thought in 1992. Don't think that way anymore.

This is not the news media of 1978 - these people are a new generation of ideological fanatics who will burn the country to the ground rather than see one of their own brought down.

Totally nailed it.

As the teens say around these parts, "creeper status".

I had my TV off-I wouldn’t have watched that speech if I had an M60 machine gun pointed at my nether regions.

However I heard he didn’t mention dead Granny Dunham, who died, right on cue, just like BO predicted. Is that true?

What happened to her, I wonder?-did the panhandler in BO’s book finally track her down and finish the job?

2. Starting in January, since the socialists are now completely in control of the government, the leftist media can no longer complain about Bush and the Republicans for screwing things up.

No chance. For the next 8 years everything will be blamed on Bush and the Republicans. If terrorists attack in 2012, it will still be Bush's fault.

The democrats will say that they are working to dig the country out of the hole caused by 8 years (or possibly 28 years since they still love demonizing Ronald Reagan) of "failed Republican policies."

You got that right! He’s a mega metrosexual, manicured lightweight. She is the man of the family.

The media are mystified about how Obama became a cult-like figure. They had nothing to do with it, of course.

When the revelations about John Edwards proved true, I remember seeing the highly partisan Paul Begala on CNN reflecting upon how surprised he was that Edwards could have been such a person. He seemed genuinely taken aback that Edwards could have been so deceptive and narcissistic.

The biggest surprise to me, was that he was surprised.

A first term senator, barely in office, suddenly decides he is important enough to be deserving of the Presidency ... and people are surprised that he is a narcissist?

Obama is the embodiment of every megalomaniacal narcissist that has driven a cult of personality to power. His ambition, his sense of self importance, and his dedication to manipulating his image is mirrored in every ascent to power of every infamous 'leader' we have seen in the past 100 years.

Anyone just now waking up to the ‘creepy cult of personality’ surrounding Obama needs to question their own capacity for judgment.

Regarding the MSM having second thoughts—
At this stage, I almost hope that the people who helped to destroy our country did it intentionally-not that it’s good, but at least I can comprehend the idea of an enemy.

What kills me is the millions of Obama-roids—zombies, no brains, no morals, no manners, no intellectual curiosity AT ALL, who with a smile and good intentions, but with no regard for what it is they were doing, screwed us royally.

1932...Nationalist Socialist...a minor character out of Munich city politics moves up over a short period and becomes a household name. The character was a man waiting for people to fall over themselves...and become passionate over the man...not the party. The party is nothing....without the man. The man carries the party and gives enlightenment to the public. Never once does the newspapers of this country ask realistic questions....and if they did....they were quickly discarded. In 1932, a cult of personality was fairly easy. In 2008, a cult of personality was fairly easy.

I think the term you’re looking for is “kapo.”

What I find interesting is how quickly the MSM is turning on him. More and more MSM commentators are beginning to voice concerns, doubts, and fears about the Empty Suit and he has yet to take the Oath of Office!

So...we have 16-40 years to wait for the truth about Obama to come out in the MSM. I hope we are not going to wait around. I am deadly serious that some in the media have been bought by Obama. We need to get busy ‘investigating the media’ and exposing the ones that are BOUGHT!
