RUSH: There's a blog out there called mediabistro.com, TVNewser and so forth, and the TV people read it religiously. I mean not too many other members of the public do, but it's big in the TV business. They have a show on there; it's a web radio show. Oh, by the way, the Wall Street Journal did publish my op-ed today. We linked to it at RushLimbaugh.com or you can go to the Wall Street Journal opinion page and see it yourself. Terry Moran of ABC's Nightline was the guest. This is what he said about President Obama.
MORAN: In some ways, Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office, I mean from visionary leader of a giant movement, now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.
RUSH: Whoa-ho-ho. Yes, you heard right, a step down for Lord Barack Obama, the Most Merciful. He was leading this giant movement, a la George Washington. Now he's had to take a step down. What did I tell you people? He's too big to fail. Listen to this one more time. This is one of the anchors of ABC's Nightline.
MORAN: In some ways, Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office, I mean from visionary leader of a giant movement, now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.
Yes, it does indeed. The press coverage of Obama certainly does reflect this step down to go to the Oval Office. I guess we can assume from this that Obama has made a mistake and that he would have been better served to stay as this leader outside Washington, this massive, giant movement rather than pin himself down with an executive position.
Sounds to me like Terry has that Jungle Fever.
These guys are complete useless idiots.
ROTFLOL!!
This is borderline insanity.
We are in deep, deep trouble.
Looks like Brent Bozell has next years quote of the year right here..
Obama the Oblivious was merely underemployed!
Obama is so in over his head that he must feel like he is looking at the world through his own butt.
His major accomplishment in life is to be chosen by the MSM to try and bring socialism to America. While a deciated socialist, Obama is nothing more then a foot soldier, he lacks leadership, management and intelligence to do this wiothout the daily aid of the MSM
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Where are all the so-called rich conservatives out there. Let’s poll 100 billion dollars or so, buy ABC/Disney and clean house. Create a news division worth watching. And after the fairness doctrine passes, tv and the internet will provided the only free forms of information to the masses. And I volunteer to run the news division for free to boot.
That was pool 100 billion. Maybe we can buy a network it done cheaper now that the markets are tanking.
In a way his statement s reflects an attitude of disrespect for the POTUS office probably a holdover view from the "evil Bush" years.
Now knowing Obama needs to actually DO SOMETHING besides campaign and community organize, the MSM now actually have to report on his performance as POTUS, which I think is making them a tad uncomfortable, hence forcing the MSM to make the POTUS office seem smaller than the man because the man Obama cannot fail.
You watch, as protests start to ratchet up, the MSM will begin to be even more absurd in their canonizing of Obama.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, Being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Phil 2:5-7
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14
Now that was an incredibly reasoned disposition of the facts... (I’m not sure what that means, but I heard it somewhere)
I think you’re dead -on but I never would have made that observation. Exactly why I like freerepublic. I wish, other than Santelli there was such a sharing of wisdom and true free-thinking in the press. America might have a fighting chance.
I hope Terry’s 401 K isn’t in Disney its about to crash. Disney laying off bigtime at their parks and can’t sell ads.
Honestly, it may be his version of the “Terry Moron bailout plan.” Joe Gibbs is obviously a bad communicator that’s either over his head or doesn’t believe a word he’s being asked to say. After Tony Snow got the position, Moron figures he’s got a fighting chance if he sucks-up hard enough.
God knows, the press wants a piece of the bailout as much as any bank exec...
Fitting verses... and “Pride comes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” comes to mind also.
Do you Homeschool your kids?
Buy the NYT. That shouldn’t cost more than a couple hundred bucks...
