Diabetic or not, you might want to have a dose of insulin handy while watching this morning's video clip. The Early Show's review of the past year this morning was one sicky-sweet adoration--in overtly religious terms--of Barack Obama.

Harry Smith set the tone with his opening comments:

"Politics, and patriotism and the presidency: it is the place where the secular and the religious merge. One of the sacraments of our national religion is the inauguration. So it was that as many as two million pilgrims made their way to Washington and the Mall to witness this most sacred event."

Back to the studio for the personal testimonies of the Early Show crew . . .

"Politics, and patriotism and the presidency: it is the place where the secular and the religious merge. One of the sacraments of our national religion is the inauguration. So it was that as many as two million pilgrims made their way to Washington and the Mall to witness this most sacred event."

I can really see CBS saying this for a Republican inauguration. Really, I can. /s

LOL: yes, they will undoubtedly pronounce the same words in 2013 regarding the inauguration of . . . Pres. Sarah Palin ;-)

[Hardastarboard]

More like, “Women, children and minorities wept openly today as a new regime of pain and terror was inaugurated in Washington at a lightly attended ceremony. Most of the attendees were wealthy, angry white men descended from slave owners. Immediate, far ranging round ups of dissidents are expected to commence later today, with several illegal, immoral wars for oil to follow.”

If love of Obama is now our national religion, call me a heretic.

Harry K. Smith... one of the most insulting, partisan hacks out there.

I remember the venom he spewed out at the Swift Boaters during the John Kerry run for the Presidency.

It was embarrassing to watch.

[PGalt]

Happy New Year, Mark! Thanks for reporting. Champagne corks popping, propagandists propping, is there no stopping?...Barack Hussein Obama...mmm...mmm...mmm.

[Northern Yankee]

I'm with you there.

To use such words about one of the most socialistic cowards in our country's history is something to behold.

[GnuHere]

Sacred event?????????
OMG

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Same to you, PG, and many thanks for your encouragement throughout the year.

I saw ZERO driving a Chicken Truck down Highway 65 this morning.

CHICKEN TRUCK, CHICKEN TRUCK, CHICKEN TRUCK, Just My Luck.

I'm thinking that the chosen one's numbers are dragging and he's chosen 2010 to try and re-enter campaign mode. The difference is, THIS TIME he has a TRACK RECORD.

We know who he is, we know he lies, and we have a pretty good idea of his goals for "fundamentallly changing America as we know it.".

There are "live-for-the-moment" voters out there whose opinions vary with the last speech he made, these are people with NO CORE PRINCIPLES and who are a used car salesman's wet dream...they'll buy into anything.

Today is the first day of 2010 and there's already a couple or three "human interest" stories pumping up zero...so the lie has begun...again.

Remember, we all know the difference between obama, and his dog "Bo"...."Bo" has papers......

Curious they are using that estimate of 2 million attendees. Capitol police in DC told attendees that 9/12/09 crowd size was bigger than the 1/20/09 freak show.

[basil]

I found it interesting that Harry Smith opened up by casually saying (as if it's fact) that 2 million people attended the immaculation.

From all the park personnel and DC city police that I had conversations with during our 9/11 march, our crowd far outnumbered the inaugural attendance.

Yet, it continues that any time our march on DC is brought up, that press says that we were about a couple hundred thousand strong.....

[toddausauras]

It won’t help Harry, Obama has been unmasked. The American people Don’t like him. He’s a dweebish character who seems too small for the job, too distant and too thin-skinned.

[Kakaze]

I have said for years,10 years, Harry Smith, should do that show in a skirt.

He has survived countless remakes of that show by being , simply the palace gelding.

He sits down welcomes the next "Hen Party" in and then attempts to act smart.......but you know he does make money.

[VRW Conspirator]

...angry, gun-toting, bible-thumping, homophobic, teabaging, white men descended from slave owners...

There! Corrected it.

[Liberty Valance]

Harry called. Wants his helmet back ...
