It is going to be a nauseous week from the MSM. And, it is going to get deep.

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.
I usually agree with Kudlow. Yesterday I had to stop at the point where he agreed with the argument that we should suspend our mental criticizing of Obama during the inauguration, in order to more completely experience the event.
Sounds like a very dangerous idea to me.
How many times, during Aitch's* presidency, will we be asked to do this?
(*Bush was "Dubya," so Obama is "Aitch.")

>> CNN’s Soledad O’Brien Suggests Obama’s a Hero Like the Hudson River Pilot
Hell of way to spoil the pilot’s act of heroism and skill.
Sucks for the pilot.
The idiot at Fox who wrote this even intones that Sullenberger has “some explaining” to do because he missed 45 days of school in FIRST GRADE.
Anyone yet seen a transcript for elementary school, high school, college or law school or IQ test on Bambi???? (crickets)
To Obama, it was and is all about Obama. But to a lot of other people, apparently it was all about race. Yet at the same time, if a real African American (Bambi ain't one, not by a long shot), particularly an openly conservative one, had been the candidate, none of this would be happening because the left would actually be very uncomfortable with him. Bambi is a white liberal with a suntan. He has white facial features, he has a white liberal background, he was brought up in a well-off family and shares all their attitudes and even personal habits. That's what the whites like about him and, to some extent, that's what a lot of blacks like about him, too. No darker than a paper bag, remember?
hee hee, you all laugh, but I have a neighbor who DOES think he’s “the One”. How would you like to deal with that?!?!?!?!?!
If he still recognized it after all these years.
I must be in the twilight zone. These people are insane.
Was there a FR thread on this?
There needs to be.
Following the aircraft landing analogy; then at the end of his term, Obama will have crashed and everyone will exit the country just before it sinks below the surface.
The fact that he hasn’t done anything is why they worship him. It’s easy to project all of these wonderful wishful things onto someone who has no history. It’s sort of like in my church; the ones who are criticized the most are the very ones who are keeping the church going. They are doing something and that makes them a target. The ones who are “bench warmers” are loved and petted.
if we are lucky it will be just four years. With the talk of repealing the two term limit of the President, we may be stuck with Stalin with a suntan for longer. If we are still a country.

Same here. It's all so creepy. Yesterday, I kept checking the news, and even FoxNews was sickening.
And so the Obamathon continues.
All this adulation from a media and the soap opera gluttons who only a short time ago chased, adored and listened to every inane mumble uttered by that failed American goddess Paris Hilton.
