Turning Point: Couric Rips Obama
Newsmax.com ^ | 11/30/2009

Posted on 12/01/2009 9:33:20 AM PST by SonOfDarkSkies

Katie Couric may be best known for her unflattering interview with Sarah Palin. But her nightly news broadcast this past Monday night may be an indicator that the big liberal media are now turning their guns on Obama.

Couric said on “CBS Evening News” that Americans are growing “disenchanted” with Obama and are openly questioning his credibility.

“Is the honeymoon over?” anchor Couric said at the beginning of her correspondent’s report.

“Although President Obama has been in office less than a year, many Americans are growing disenchanted with his handling of the enormous problems he and the country are facing, from healthcare to unemployment to Afghanistan.

“His poll numbers are sliding, and at least one poll shows his job approval rating has fallen, for the first time, below 50 percent.”

Correspondent Chris Reid chimed in: “The president is getting battered on everything from the economy to foreign policy. Some polls show Americans are increasingly questioning his credibility.”

The report asserted that while Obama talks about dealing with unemployment, which is over 10 percent and expected to rise, he has developed “no new ideas” for dealing with the problem.

Katie Couric has revealed that she is a foaming at the mouth bigoted racist who just can’t stand it that a black man is in the white house...

Katie's pissed because Obammy's sending more troops to Afghanistan...

Katie thinks the man-child should tell the mean old General that he can't have more troops....

This is perfectly predictable, but so much fun!!

He can't dither and ignore the issue any longer...He can't go against the advice of the General or HE'S the one who lost the thing...He's already used "Bush's fault" so many times even the libs don't beleive him...He's already bled the idiot "Republicans" who supported him..blew thru the idiot independents, and now the decision he has to make is going to piss off his idiot liberal base....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I agree. I suspect that “Little Katie Couric”, and the othe MSM crowd, are critical from time to time, so they can point to that segment and say they are “hard-hitting, no-nonsense journalists”, but I seriously doubt you’ll ever see them oppose zer0 on any big or important issues. Of course, Chrissy Matthews is too busy with his “leg tingles” to EVER criticize Hussein.

If she were criticizing him for being too liberal I would be stunned. But, you cannot promise the loony left everything they want and then not deliver. She's a spoiled child who didn't get what she wanted for Christmas - let the tantrums begin.

Photos of Katie Couric reportedly celebrating her September 2006 debut as anchor of the CBS Evening News have made their way onto Facebook, and the pictures show Couric letting loose on the dance floor.

Yeah, she wants to go "honeymooning" --- personally I believe that Little Miss Katie is taking her orders direct from the White House who is writing her talking points, as well as her atrocious "poetry."

From the headline, I thought perhaps we were talking about Katie’s colon again!

“I was very heartened by the fact that even the incredibly liberal RS is turning against this administration..”

But for the wrong reasons. And the result can be spun as Obama being a centrist.

Is that her daughter? She looks freaked to death by Mom’s behavior. And is the woman behind her freaking her, or trying to hold her up?

" The report asserted that while Obama talks about dealing with unemployment, which is over 10 percent and expected to rise, he has developed “no new ideas” for dealing with the problem. "

That's because he never had any new ideas.... he got the idea of the stimulus from President Bush, but, he didn't lower taxes like Bush did.
