Zero is in way over his head. The aura of 0bama being a messiah that can fix anything will fade fast the first time he is tested and comes up short. The bloom will be off the rose and instead of hero worship, he will be vilified by the same groups that sang his praises so loudly.

Our task is to make sure everyone is aware every one of his short-comings and failures. My hope is that the same media that put him in office will hound him unmercifully and he will be unceremoniously dumped in a landslide in 2012. Until then, every day will be hell.

I can see the incredulaty of this title but he does risk turning the MSM against him. O has promised such hyperbole about the future, of “progressive” programs, and extraordinary results. It will be injteresting to see how much O promised that he will, in fact, do. He also promised reaching across the aisle and bipartisonship. He obiviously can’t do progressive programs and bipartisanship simulataneously. As POTUS he may encounter the fickleness of the MSM who, above all things, want ratings.

“CBS News: Obama Must ‘Win Over the Media’”

I predict the amazing young man will do this in short order.

In keeping with the recent Washinton Post article, admitting the paper had an Obama bias during the election, the MSM is showing its contempt and disdain for the intelligence of the public by assuming no one noticed its criminal complicity in the election of the Messiah. A wholesale attempt to repurchase lost credibility.

The MSM has sold its heart, soul and credibility for Obama, and the problem it now has is convincing the public that anything it says about Obama for the next four years can be believed. The media must continue to sell Obama or admit it was wrong (the Washington Post is already trying to back pedal out of its commitment to ‘All Obama, All the Time’). One might wonder how incompetent or corrupt Obama would have to be to draw criticism from the MSM? Or will the so-called ‘news’ get more and more grotesque and convoluted to protect the media’s wholesale defection from journalism to propaganda? And how bad will it have to get before the public unplugs entirely from print and electronic media?

Absurd! The MSM has been in the tank all along and is continuing it’s mindless, fawning adulation - I just can’t watch anymore, not even Foxnews which has sorely disappointed.

He's been leading them around like puppies for years, why would he expect that now all of a sudden they'd now a hold him accountable for anything?.

We got it in spades up here in Canada. One august and "a name you can trust" was reported to be saying "Good news" as a state was declared for President-elect Obama. Canadian woman info babes were very jaunty. One gleefully noted Governor Palin under duress and the special crew that went up on behalf of those who claimed monetary overspending. Taxpayers dollars at work. I wonder what these worthies would say if Americans covered a Canadian election and told THEM to anoint Stephen Harper?

Of course in baseball terms, a man is coming up to bat. He will face some pretty hard pitchers. No bean balls here. He will have his chance and that is right and proper.

What a meaty target all of us have. Americans and Canadians. Ah yes, the purveyors of the Jenningsonian philosophy. Or is it Dan Rather who quoth: "There are some things the public does not need to know". We are at least going to have some fun. Watching the press and their penchant for carping, their snide digs. Their absolutely unprofession verbal murder of GWB,now amost redundant What goes around, comes around.

What the MSM is doing is trying to increase their relevance. They're facing dwindling ad revenues and subscriberships. Obama is truly their last hope for survival. If he allows them to continue their march to irrelevancy, they'll be done as a geopolitical factor by 2016.

If he will pretend to let them influence him, they will fawn over him and get him on Mt. Rushmore by 2025. This is a last desperate cry for help, coupled with a whorish guarantee of historical greatness. I think both sides will be happy soon.
