CNN’s Saturday filled with following Barack Obama’s train trip to the Inauguration was also filled with Obama praise. At one juncture, CNN couldn’t help but metaphorically merge Barack Obama with the exhilarating news of the US Airways pilot who landed his plane in the Hudson River without losing a single passenger.

A few minutes after 2 pm Eastern time, anchorman Wolf Blitzer recalled "Soledad [O’Brien] and I were talking about this earlier and she was saying metaphorically in some ways, the pilot of that airplane is very much like Barack Obama -- that he got the plane down safely, but everybody else had to join together to get out of the plane and pull together to get through that adversity. I thought that was an interesting metaphor.

Jesus is like The One. Lincoln is like The One. MLK is like The One. JFK is like The One. Now this pilot is like The One. Every news story out there is being turned into a story about The One.

I tell ya, this is getting weirder and weirder all the time. I have never, in the life of me, seen stuff like this happen. We are getting very near the time of judgment.

Never in the course of human events have so many vested so much in one who has done so little.

Obama hasn’t made a single decision yet.

His star will fall as soon as he attempts to. He’s so wishy-washy. Those around him will destroy him.

Jimmy Carter II

There’s at least 155 people who DIDN”T make it this week thanks to the likes of Obama’s philosophy.

He hasn't even gotten behind the wheel yet.
He hasn't even done a test flight in the simulator yet.

The bias of the MSM is more than nauseating. It is treasonous at this point.

Yeah right. What a bunch of delusional piles of cow excrement these people are. Sully was a true hero ( ex fighter pilot) who listened to conservative talk radio. BO is equivalent to the dog sh*t on Sully's shoe.

Soledid we all know you are a bias liberal POS. Nevertheless, you need to do a better job at pretending that you are an objectionable reporter instead of the truly rotten political hack that you really are.

Soledad also gushed the other day how 0bambi called Capt. Sullenberger to congratulate him for the great landing. Too bad she forgot to mention that President Bush also called the pilot, as everyone else had been reporting.
