Finally... A President who can Walk, Talk, chew gum, Solve Problems at the same time
I'm going to start referring to the networks in lower case because they are not really as important as they think they are. If you caught Jon Stewart's take on cnbc and Gibbs take as well, we can now see that pundits don't rule the world anymore. Money, trumps many things. People start paying attention when money is involved. Obama is saying the right things... even when they aren't saying what you want to hear them say. Extrapolate from this that Obama is doing the work of "thinking" pragmatically while the pundits, entertainment and otherwise (cnbc) and yes even Buffet have decided to take a knee-jerk reaction to everything financial. (r)epublicans will always be on the opposite side of the Democrats because... well they are fighting for their political lives. We have to remember a lot of things and here are just a few things we should hold onto while Obama undoes the catastrophe republicans made while they held the country hostage.

-President Obama didn't start this economic mess. President Obama will end it.

-President Obama has been on the job for less than 90 days. He has done more than any president in 60 days than most could do in a year.

-No matter how nice republican pundits talk, even happy talk of seeing President Obama succeed (Newt Gingrich), understand that they want to see him fail miserably today, tomorrow, 2010 and 2012.

-republicans can not afford to lose another election cycle. They plan to wage war on everything President Obama says. They can not afford to see him pass health care. They couldn't even afford to see him lift the stem cell ban. Every time President Obama puts another accomplishment up on the board, has another summit, republicans lose. Saying no to him clipping his finger nails is anathema to their survival.

-Stop thinking that the traditional networks like msnbc, cnn, abc, cbs, nbc, fox want to see him succeed. Get a load of the poll that was attacked by neo-cons and yes msnbc as well sighting President Obama's grade in office so far. msnbc's poll gives Obama a whopping 59 percent "f" and a 20 percent "A". Talk about a JOKE! msnbc is trying to play us for fools. They are trying to fuel the fire of distrust in this new president. Write them, if for no other reason than to say, "this dumb trick will not work".

-ask yourself if having Obama is much better than what we had the last 8 years. If you say F**k yeah then you must continue fighting for the values you voted for.

-Do not let a pundit, republican spew lies unchecked. Make little networks like fox, msnbc, abc, nbc, cbs account for their misstatements, lies... just like Jon Stewart did.

-Michael Moore, Olbermann, Maddow, Schuster, push back because little david gregory wants to be part of the media elite.
-Remember... truth is not fair and balanced.

-President Obama is president because of us... not because the media anointed him to the highest office in the land.

Obama is a man of impeccable character and thoughtfulness and insight and even if I don't agree with everything he does... I still recognize that I agree with most of his policies. I'd rather have that than what we had the last 8 years.

Kick it high! President Obama!

1. The media did it's best to discredit President Obama
before the election. Endless hours of what this pastor said and what that reverend said. In the end the people went for Obama.

2. And, if ture that he is getting gray hair
he will start to look more like me :evilgrin:

Here is a suggestion: don't try to pull the grays out. You'll regret it later..

Hey, every day when I hear him talking I have to wonder on how could we have possibly tolerated that mumbling inarticulate impostor that we had in the White House for eight year.

6. They definitely missed their mark on that one
I thought they were trying to show how President Obama is getting sexier when they were just trying to imply he was getting old. Old, hah! He's only two years older than me. Thank you but no he's not getting old. He's getting gray (sexy!!!) hair.

3. Rec'd~ This should be required reading
for every American whether they're brainwashed or not(you never know what facts may break through).

"President Obama is president because of us... not because the media anointed him to the highest office in the land."

5. Why do we have to have morning joe for most of the day on the web?
we need another point of view. I don't watch them on television but why not give us another point of view other than a wacko?
