Bob, you make some good points, but you've ignored a few things.

Yes, the MSM is in the tank for Zero, just like they were for Bubba, but that didn't help him keep a Rat Congress for more than the first two years. The Republican Congress didn't totally keep him in check (the failure of impeachment was a prime example of that) but we did get welfare reform, DOMA, and significant tax breaks out of him.

The 'Toon was considered the first "black" President, but that was just hyperbole. African-Americans wanted some things from X42, but they mostly got a song and dance (while welfare reform was foisted upon them), and didn't expect much more than that from a white Southern guy. Under Obamunism, they're really looking for "payback" (a/k/a "pie") and don't expect to be patted on the head by one of their own.

Either one of two things will happen, either he will dispense pie in a sufficient quantity to meet their expectations, thus shafting no-longer-guilty white voters, or they will seize upon the fact that he really isn't one of their own, since there is no slavery or Jim Crow in his family tree.

He's about eighteen months away from losing half of his base. Even if I'm wrong, he won't get legions of true believers to the polls to vote for white Democrats. Look how Al Franken has had to scrape to steal votes.

The lamestream media is about to get theirs. They've had one last feeding frenzy at the trough of campaign spending, and while they're grateful to Zero for stimulating that money into their pockets and away from the liquor stores and crack dealers, it's over.

Dead tree media is dying, and we have a myriad of online sources of news, information, and discussion. Further, the eyeballs are now trackable, you cannot simply say to an advertiser "Here's my readership," you have to say, "Here's how much I made from previous advertisers who paid me for click-throughs from my website." That's why we call it dinosaur media, it's food supply is drying up. Craigslist and eBay have replaced the classified ads, and grocery stores have started using direct mailings to get their ads out.

We have ways of fighting Obama that Bill Clinton couldn't even see coming when he was standing on the crest of his bridge to the 21st Century.

And if Obama gets thrown under the bus, they media will just pick a new messiah to thrust on an unsuspecting populace.

That is my point. The players come and go but biased MSM hegemony is forever unless we do something about it now.

Dead tree media is dying because literacy is dying, and the likes of Perky Katie are now feeding guano into the heads of Americans Idle. Note the number of threads here discussing idiot box shows. s that a good thing? The death of dead tree media is not necessarily a good thing. As far as the 'myriad of online sources', what exectly are the sources of those sources? The very same APs and Reuters and New York Timeses, unless you count reports of FReepers from Sarah Palin rallies, and eyewitness accounts of highway crashes.
