Overstated in favor of 0 if he answers one softball question succinctly.

I’ll believe this when I see it. I am still watching the MSM fawn over their affirmative action pick.

Right. Don't believe it.

They've got way too much invested in the empty suit. This is about control of the world.

Actually the turn away from ZERO is starting in the media. Something about ramming this huge pork bill through is not playing well in the Country along with the snarky remarks coming out of Obama. Town Halls and Press Conference did not win him friends with the placement of the WH press corps.

Going to take awhile but the honeymoon with ZERO is going to be short. Arrogance is in full display by the man and his lack of knowledge on almost all subjects has not gone unnoticed. Reporters know arrogance and their being stiffed is not going over well.

When you read Maureen Dowd and she is anything but down on her kneepads, then ZERO has a problem.

No worries. Along with the Fairness To Dimocrats Doctrine Act, will be some sort of control over TV, newspapers, etc. They will have to work their-selves around the First Amendment of freedom of the press, but hey, since when did the Constitution stop the Marxist Dimocrats?

From where I’m sitting, the press has NOT “turned” on Obama. On the contrary, they’re just as complicit to his heinous ideas as they were during the campaign.

It's going to really be something when the media openly disdains him -- they are all he's ever had. Obama could spend the last 3 1/2 years of his presidency as a non-entity.

As a destructive force, he's a lot like Carter.
As a non-entity, he may be a lot like Harding. We should hope for that.

You have to understand the only people who can match his arrogance is the press corps. He has dissed them on more than one occasion they won’t take that for long.

Time is something the country can not afford, the more damage this clown does, the more we have to repair...the press knows this, until they start to actually “attack” ....the “too big to fail” mode is in effect, they created him, they have to take him down...meaning they have to admit THEY made huge mistakes....ain’t gonna happen

Yes they will. Come election time they will shower him with even more messianic praise. We need to move beyond the silly idea that the traditional press can somehow be "turned" to our side if only they see the light. This won't happen.

The nations problems were not instantly fixed on January 20th.
I honestly believe many of his starry eyed supporters expected that outcome.

Now the scales have fallen off their eyes.
