I just want to make sure he doesn’t develop a desire to fist a bottle of aspirin.

Maybe we could pitch in for a Chastity Belt?

Obama and the media actually have a surprisingly hostile relationship — as contentious on a day-to-day basis as any between press and president in the past decade, reporters who cover the White House say.

The only possible point of contention I can imagine between them is whether The One is liberal enough, and why doesn't he just declare himself king already?

Actually, what both of us want is for them to drop the rose colored glasses and see him for what he is.

I was pointing out the irony that, rather than that, they’re mad because they can’t write all the glowing bylines they want to do.

After the election, I thought maybe they’s sort of lord there help over Obama. But instead he was able to p|ss right in their faces. And incredibly they took it! And still are!

Moral of the story? Somewhere deep inside, people who are not very bright actually know that about themselves. They can be bullied pretty easily.

I thought the same thing about the Clintoons, especially after Hillary started screaming at a reporter, after he asked Bill something about Monica. Liberals, especially media liberals will never turn on a rat president, even if they do hate him.

Hmmmm -— down on? Fantasy or for real? Monica would know...

“Down with” may have been more appropriate but then again with this 70s slang you never know...

Whine, whine, whine. I’m sure the press conferences for Castro and Chavez are far more accessible. Since you WANTED to be governed by communists, don’t be shocked when they treat you reporters like communist media are treated. Dim bulbs. I think the IQ of the entire Washington press corps must equal the amount of IQ I blow out my nose every day.

Not an honest one among ‘em.

Not one has any interest in the pursuit of truth.

What we are not getting about Obama:

(1): A CEO from The Marketing Department, NOT Accounting, or Engineering.
Obama does not know what is in the bills he is fighting for, and he doesn't care. In fact, in terms of factual knowledge, this guy is probably the dumbest POTUS we have ever had. Doesn't matter. His job is to sell bills, and get them passed. Used cars. Obama's teleprompted face is on TV, but Rahm Emanuel is the closer.

(1a): A CEO who doesn't know beans about nuts and bolts

Obama is handed things by the team that put him in, and he runs with it. He is the political equivalent of a single-wing halfback, with great blocking but no brains. The only question to come out of this administration is, "Who exactly, is using whom to advance the Socialist agenda?"

(2): The Obama Phenomenon (Obamenon?) is far from over.
2010 is going to be very hard-fought, and remember, the Stimulus is a Discretionary Slush Fund for the Democrats. In 2011 and 2012, Obama will stonewall everything going to Republican districts, whether the GOP has a majority in the house, or not. He is still POTUS, and he will either run in 2012, or he'll pick the candidate. And the Supreme Court.

The "Master Plan and Program" of the Democrat Party is to so change the social fabric of the USA, that a 35 year-old man alive today, should he live until 2050, will not recognize this as his country. We have had the two-decade equivalent of single party rule with the centrist Democrats and centrist Republicans. Now we will have true, one-party rule, moderated (hopefully) by occasionally centrist Democrats. We are supposed to fight this "Master Plan and Program" with a political party that has NO PLAN, NO PROGRAM, No LEADER, and NO CLUE?

A national strategy led by the current GOP led by the likes of Michael Steele will not cut it. We need the states to rise and reclaim their fair share of American sovereignty. Can that happen?

I sure hope so. We are looking at a social revolution ... and not a nice one.

PS: Karf Rove attacking the actually very mild, and completely common-sensical Arizona Immigration Law? WTF? Over. I wonder if he still believes his Mexicans are "The Republicans of the Future?" A smart Michael Steele would be fighting illegal immigration with all his might in the African-American community. African-Americans are being economically crushed by it, and many are damn smart enough to realize it. Need a job, Steele, want an Assignment Karl? Get us 20% of the African-American vote --- you know, get some of'em to rejoin the party that ended slavery. Get'em out of the Democrat Party, with its history in Segregation and the KKK!

Well, doh. What else would they say?

These journoturds deserve no sympathy. They were a large part of the reason the U.S. is saddled with Obama and now whine about how badly they’re treated.

Well, press folks, how do you like the sh!tty deal (hat tip: Sen. Carl Levin, D-3rd World) you’ve gotten?

Semper Fi, mofo’s.

Agreed. The only reporters "down on Obama" are the sluts wearing kneepads.

Bias and bigotry are baked in at this point.
