ABC Marvels at Obama Filling Bush's 'Vacuum' So 'We've Got Two Presidents'
NewsBusters ^ | November 24, 2008 | Brent Baker

Less than 12 hours after George Stephanopoulos, on Good Morning America, glowed that “we have not seen this kind of combination of star power and brain power and political muscle this early in a cabinet in our lifetimes,” he popped up on World News to hail how Barack Obama's team recognized the Bush administration's “vacuum” and so decided to “step in and fill” it by showing “the President-elect taking action on the economy” day after day.

Anchor Charles Gibson set up Stephanopoulos by marveling: “George, I don't think I've ever seen a President-elect getting so involved in policy so early. It does seem like we've got, at the moment, two Presidents.” Stephanopoulos admired Obama's take charge actions:

I think what the Obama team saw -- starting last week with all of that uncertainty in the markets, in the dropping stock markets -- is they had to step in and fill a political vacuum. It began with that leak of Tim Geithner's name as Treasury Secretary on Friday, an announcement of a jobs plan on Saturday, carrying through to today, and there will be announcements both tomorrow and Wednesday to show the President-elect taking action on the economy.

From the Monday, November 24 World News:

CHARLES GIBSON: Our chief Washington correspondent, George Stephanopoulos, joins us now. George, I don't think I've ever seen a President-elect getting so involved in policy so early. It does seem like we've got, at the moment, two Presidents.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: It's never happened before, Charlie, that's exactly right. I think what the Obama team saw -- starting last week with all of that uncertainty in the markets, in the dropping stock markets -- is they had to step in and fill a political vacuum. It began with that leak of Tim Geithner's name as Treasury Secretary on Friday, an announcement of a jobs plan on Saturday, carrying through to today, and there will be announcements both tomorrow and Wednesday to show the President-elect taking action on the economy. But you're exactly right, this has not happened before, and we've never seen an entire economic team appointed so quickly.

I think Obama is going to crash and burn. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he’s trying to do it super-fast.

Obamababble on the MSM is beyond belief. They think they have finally reached the land of Utopia and the world will now become Sunshine and Lollipops.

Putin in Russia,Chavez in Venezuela,Imanutjob in Iran...and others...will surely do their best to eat Hussein's lunch.My money is on them succeeding....in spades.

My Torture Contract excludes me from ABC CBS PSNBC and Communist News Net.

” WE Have Parallel - Presidents “

gag me with a spoon.

The MSM are busy building up the Obamabubble. Like all bubbles, it will burst, surprising the MSM once again.

The good news is, with the ass-sucking that will be going on in the next four years, I’ll probably lose 40 pounds from all the upchucking I’ll be doing.

Well, I am glad that someone is keeping tabs on what the DBM is doing because I have not watched one alphabet channel newscast since the election and don’t plan on watching any anytime soon.

( Old spiritual, "Shadrack, Neshack, Obendnego: )


If we aren't all rounded up and re-educated at

Camp Obama


Learn more about Camp Obama

it should provide endless opportunities to hector, catcall, and kibitz from the sidelines.

I hope all the MoonBats really, really enjoy having Duh!1© ( AKA, The New Little Big Fraud©... ) at the helm. It's going to be quite a ride...

This guy really is Bad News.

As I have mentioned here:

OBAMAO ... is America ready for a Marxist president? [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

Nope, but we are about to get one, good & hard...

...so chroniclers like Yours Truly will be documenting every move he makes, every breath he takes... unless, or until, we are silenced by all that "tolerance & inclusiveness" he & his followers are already practicing.... ( "we in charge now" )


America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...

I'll keep doing it as long as there's something to say- or until we are silenced.

As far as I am able, I will mirror this on our Canadian sister site, which has been moved to Panama due to censorship issues:

America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...

...and no, I'm not kidding about that tagline- I wish I were...

Who wants to draw up a pool and see how quick Obie's cabinet starts to jump ship; remember Les Aspin, Secretary of Defense for 13 months.
