Maybe some of the media are getting concerned that they touted a fraud since they knew so little about him or if they did, they didn’t print the story.

Hope it is hitting home to the media that they have 401K’s like the rest that could be in danger for their retirment with this bunch of incompetents running the show.

“NOW they notice down in Florida??”

Oh, this one is easy. First, they had to get their man elected. The media wanted Obama because he was a well spoken black man. That’s it, that’s all they wanted to know. So, all the stories were tailored to get Obama in the White House. Mission Accomplished.

Now the media will revert to their normal self. They can attack Obama because it’s safe. Obama’s been elected, negative stories will do one thing, attract an audience. The media loves to attack the powerful, and they need to make money. The love fest can only go on so long before people quit paying attention.

Between 1993 and '96, Obama, the much-ballyhooed "Constitutional scholar," had only an unusually low 3,723 billable hours of legal work accrued over a four-year stint with his law firm employer Davis

After deducting weekends, 3 weeks of vacation, holidays and sick days, Figure 225 work days per year. Hussein was able to bill about half his time during those 4 years.

Now when they are challenged over the next several years on their obvious bias in the 2008 election they can defend themselves by saying “Look, nobody was tougher on Obama than us! We published pieces that took a hard, critical look at his experience and laid it out there for our readers back in 2008”. Never will they add “after the election was over” and how many will remember that detail?

900 billable hours per year as an junior associate in a law firm? That kind of time would get your ass shown the door in a hurry. I'm not a lawyer, but I've known a few, and to a person they've stated that regardless of the size of the firm, a fresh out of law school just passed the bar would be doing 2000 hours BILLABLE as a MINIMUM, and most were doing 2600-3000 a year. And considering that billable is only about 60-70 percent of total hours worked, that's a busy person.

So even if Obama was doing 900 hours a year billable at 60 percent of total time billable, that's still only 1500 hours TOTAL per year. 30 hours a week. Barely more than part-time. Yeah, that's what we need...the part-time president.

We are SO screwed.

As I have mentioned here:

OBAMAO ... is America ready for a Marxist president? [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

Nope, but we are about to get one, good & hard...

...so chroniclers like Yours Truly will be documenting every move he makes, every breath he takes... unless, or until, we are silenced by all that "tolerance & inclusiveness" he & his followers are already practicing....

America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...

I'll keep doing it as long as there's something to say- or until we are silenced.

As far as I am able, I will mirror this on our Canadian sister site, which has been moved to Panama due to censorship issues:

Can anyone say, ‘affirmative action’? That is why and how Obama has gotten so many creampuff jobs and prominent positions. The proof of this is that he has never shown any real talent, or even much hard work, in anything he’s ever done. I also think that the reason he didn’t go on to clerk at the Supreme Court is because it was easy to coast as editor of the Harvard Law Review, but he knew he’d be in way over his head at the Supreme Court and would have nowhere to hide.

Why do you think it is so important to the left that it buy as many votes as possible, dumb down our children and create dependency in every available instance? A poll released yesterday showed 80% + of Hussein voters didn’t know dems were in charge of congress. Perfect fodder for a Marxist takeover.

The press is a collection of purposefully blivovating
idiots , given to avoiding looking any straight fact in the face.

You want Obama facts? Send the press to a completely well researched Data Base:

Now more than ever we need someone in the Executive position that knows what the hell they’re doing, and this is what we have. Just damn.

The leftstream media’s slavish devotion to the Deity-elect is truly pathetic. I have no doubt that Joseph Goebbels would be green with envy if he were alive today. Not even his brilliant propaganda machine could compete with this. Now I see on the cover of Newsweek BHO being compared to Lincoln, and on the cover Time BHO being compared to FDR. It doesn’t get any sicker than this. I am sure BHO’s triumphant inaugural extravaganza will be something comparable to Elizabeth Taylor’s grand entrance into Caesar’s Rome in the 1963 movie Cleopatra.

That BHO is an empty suit with no accomplishments goes without saying. He served 143 working days in the U.S.Senate and other than accumulating the most liberal voting record accomplished nothing. His record in the Illinois state senate was equally unimpressive and his claim to fame there was voting “present” more than any other legislator.

BHO’s real claim to fame is that he authored two best selling books, both about himself. I read them both found them to be incredibly boring. (btw- John McCain’s autobiography is a lot more exciting and interesting) The leftstream newsmedia should be ashamed of itself foisting this radical left charlatan into the most powerful job on the planet. Much has been said and written about the Deity-elect, but NO ONE has have ever said this man is humble. These next four years are going to be insufferable. All about BHO 24/7, even on the sports and entertainment channels. There will be no escape, no refuge. I miss the low key, down to earth, humble Bushes already.

The Obamunist was an affirmative action candidate, and his election had pretty much everything to do with that fact.

So from what I gather here, the democrat philosophy apparently is find somebody who stands out in one way or other get him elected and then investigate him afterwards...

Are these guys so blinded by selfish ambition that all common sense is simply thrown out the window? These guys are like the Plebians of ancient Rome, they care only for their welfare rather then the welfare of others.

Personally, I think we need to pray that God would open their eyes to see their folly and that he would open their eyes to take in the glorious gospel.

The way the MSM has propped this guy is astounding.

0bama cannot possibly succeed with all the expectations the media has used to pad his persona.

Putting him in the Ovalk Office is like putting Eddie Gaedel in the line up to pinch hit for Babe Ruth.
