David Letterman, who still regularly ridicules former President George W. Bush – and has even accused him of committing “war crimes” and lacking “humanity” – didn't hide his affinity for Barack Obama during his Monday night Late Show interview of the President, while remaining unable to contain his disgust for Bush. “I can't tell you how satisfying it is to watch you work,” a beaming Letterman gushed to Obama at the conclusion of the program.
When Obama, who took two weeks of vacation in late August and early September, displayed some jealously as he quipped that his two daughters “basically just goofed off all summer, which I couldn't do,” Letterman interjected, in an obvious jab at Bush which delighted the audience: “Others have.”
In the midst of Obama reciting the benefits his health care quest would deliver, Letterman mocked Obama's opponents as he expressed befuddlement at criticisms of single-payer, government-run systems: “I know whenever you invoke like Great Britain or Canada people start to shudder, people go 'oh my God, it's socialized medicine, oh my God, it's socialized medicine.' And I'm not a socialist, but it don't sound that bad to me.”
Even with Obama as the sole guest for the hour, Bush couldn't escape derision in a “Top Ten” list pivoting off Obama's appearance – though Letterman's reading of the list was edited for time from the show that aired. In the “Top Ten Reasons Why President Obama Agreed to Appear on the Late Show,” the #2 entry: “Said 'yes' without thinking...like Bush did with Iraq.”

Four Letterman
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 07:03 ET by GeneralAlLetterman is a four letter word as far as I'm concerned! he is only funny to liberals because the only humor they see is in the filthy bashing of Conservatives and Republicans in general. Thats why he keeps going with the Bush and Cheney jokes! At least Jay leno goes after them all but doesn't limit his jokes to politics! Letterman couldn't make it as a weatherman in Indiana and certainly doesn't make it as a comedian in New York or Hollywood! He definitely belongs on a stage! Put him on the next one bound for deadwood!

Tue, 09/22/2009 - 05:13 ET by OldJoe20 years ago, he could be funny. Now he is just pathetic. Old and tired.
FROM THE HOME OFFICE IN OMAHA...
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 15:45 ET by danybhoyThe last time Letterman was funny on a regular basis was when he was still on NBC. He had just signed with CBS, but he was still allowed to finish his contract at NBC. So with 1 foot out the door, his show was fairly edgy, & funny. Since he went to CBS, not so much. By the way folks, Letterman left NBC in 1993, so he has sucked for quite a while.

Notice he provides no support for his statement, or reason why he feels that way about Letterman. He just takes the opposite position and waits for people to come after him. He's the blogging equivalent of a bomb-thrower.
Barry craves attention. Barry craves an argument. Barry craves the opportunity to make himself feel superior. Barry needs professional help.

I Wonder What Letterman Would Say If...
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 08:00 ET by Wildcatter1980I wonder what Letterman would say if his son, Harry, had been born in the hallway of the hospital. Somehow, I doubt he would be jumping for joy or ready to say how wonderful the health care system is. Do you?
Or, what if he had had to wait to get treatment for his shingles? Do you think he would saying how wonderful the health care system was if he did not get to see a doctor ASAP?
Would his family, friends and company's employees be singing the praises of a health care system that could not have immediately operated on Letterman when they discovered all the clogged coronary arteries in his heart?
Letterman’s company, World Wide Pants, has its own physician, Dr Lou Aronne. It is highly likely that between having his own physician and a very famous name, Letterman and his family would never have to face the realities of the Canadian or British health care systems. Therefore, it is out of line for him to comment on the forcing of radical changes in the health care system on others that he and his family will likely never have to suffer themselves.

Chicago Now
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 09:54 ET by QueenMumThank you for pointing that out, IJ. The article was linked on the Trib's Home Page. Here's more information re: Chicago Now .
I think this clarifies the connection:
"One of the projects introduced to the Chicago journalism community at
the conference was the Trib's newest blog project, a news aggregator
called Chicago Now (check out their promotional video here, via the Reader)
that's being billed as "Huffington Post meets Facebook, for Chicago."
It's attracting a lot of bloggers, (they hope to have about 80 blogs
hosted on the site) - from established voices to a variety of new
writers seeking a piece of the Trib's reputed 100 million monthly page
views. But the money factor - and the perks - seem fairly limited at
this stage. Bloggers writing for the site are independent contractors,
paid wholly from traffic to their individual articles, and they're
policed (mildly) by community managers. There's no access to Trib
content - no photos, no editors - and most importantly, no press
credentials. The Chicago Now site is the online home of RedEye, the Trib's free, if content-lite youth-oriented newspaper."

Did anyone see the comment that Obama made a couple weeks ago when he was discussing the potential failure of Obamacare, should it pass? He said, words to the effect that it had better succeed, after all, his reputation was on the line.
Gee, thanks, Oh Great One. Nice to see that he kows what's really important. Only second to his reputation would be the complete mangling of one sixth of the nations economy and the healthcare/potential lives of millions of Americans.

Tue, 09/22/2009 - 12:01 ET by Airforce_5_OI am tired of a President who is more interested in his press coverage then his job. I am tired of my Troops going down range with a President in charge who is spending more time prepping for Speeches, Town Hall meetings, and late night TV.
He got this message 3 weeks ago, “I need 40,000 more troops by October or WE LOOSE!” Gen. McCrystal. 3 FREAKING WEEKS!
He says Sunday he wants a strategy before he makes a decision. What has McCrystal done by asking for more troops? He is taking on a counter insurgence position. Protect the population, find the enemy (who is hiding behind civilians) and kill them one region at a time. Hell Stevie Wonder could see that!

AirForce...Your post
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 12:19 ET by celatorAirForce...Your post illustrates exactly why I think we should, under this president, get the blue blazes out of Afghanistan. With a committed CIC, a clear strategy, and tactics which would allow the strategy to succeed, I'd say go get 'em.
Obama has been doofing around, delaying a clear expression of an end goal, not really saying much of anything, beyond the most vague cliches, about why we should send our troops to Afghanistan. His real purpose, it seems to me, is to create confusion and low morale in the military and, therefore, attack yet another institution in the US.
But with the militarily hapless Obama, who quite happily notes that he is uncomfortable with the concept of "victory" in Afghanistan, we are sending our men and women on a fool's errand. They are far too precious for us to allow that to happen.
Lots of us here on NB still have clear memories of Lyndon Johnson and the debacle his leadership created in Vietnam. We did more than read about it in a book. We lived through it. Nuf said.
Nope, not this time. Not again.
No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

Tue, 09/22/2009 - 13:25 ET by Airforce_5_OClearly he is a suit and nothing but a suit with puppet strings. The only reason I can see for him not acting on Afghanistan is he doesn't want anger his base. Period. He has managed to anger both the ultra-left and right. He knows he can't get the right so get back the way lefties.
As for LBJ, your right, he let Congress fight that war from their arm chairs.

PRESIDENT ACORN...
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 22:40 ET by danybhoyAir Force,
Obama does'nt know how to be President, or a politician of any level. He knows how to run for office, read a speech off of the telepromter, sound good at doing that. But he has no clue how to do anything, because each post was nothing more then a platform to getting elected to some higher office.
The only place he stayed for any length of time was in the IL state assembly, & all he did was vote "present". The moment he got elected in 2004 to the US Senate, he gave a good speech, on a very bad night for the Dems with Bush43 getting another 4 years. Right after that speech, like within minutes after, the MSM was throwing out the idea that this fresh face Obama guy could/should run for President. They did everything they could to make it happen, & it did happen. They are to blame as much as anybody for the damage this idiot will do to the USA, & we should remind them of that, all the time.

Tue, 09/22/2009 - 16:59 ET by j17ghsLetterman's ego caused him first to lose his lead writer Chris Elliott in the late '80s and his show suffered greatly without Elliott's wit and comedic inventiveness. Then Letterman lost The Tonight Show to Jay Leno in the '90s, and Letterman's ego couldn't handle that at all, so he defected to CBS as a result. But Letterman's rating have never been very good because Letterman was never that good without a talented staff and a huge budget.
Letterman only means of maintaining his celebrity status and salary was to cater to Leftists in Hollywood and Washington, and, as a bitter man himself, this suited him well because Letterman was just getting back at an "unjust" system, and so he admires the minions and morons that populate the Obama administration today.

Short term loans are more common, workplaces are more casual and relaxed, people use the Internet to communicate more and they realize that some traditions hinder progress instead of helping. I think President Obama’s appearance on “Letterman” shows that he is in touch with this new generation.A lot of the clips out there will only show you the jokes from the Obama on Letterman video. However, Obama did share a lot of interesting insights and messages about the economy, racism, health care and the situation in Afghanistan.Perhaps the most talked about segment of the Obama on Letterman video is the part in which Obama addressed whether cries of racism against him are valid.Read more at http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/09/22/obama-letterman/

Letterman Kisses Obama's Butt
Thu, 10/01/2009 - 13:28 ET by pumpkinpieSelf-imposing penance: "voluntary act of devotion or self-mortification to show sorrow for a sin or misdeed."
In some Christian churches penance is considered a sacrament which includes contrition, confession, acceptance of punishment, and absolution.
Through misplaced contrition, Letterman uses his public stage for subliminal confession. He continues to punish Bush, Cheney and Palin for the sins Whites committed in the 1800s through the institutions of slavery and of the Jim Crow Laws. Letterman thinks he needs to assign penance onto whom he sees as symbols of White America. These symbols are in roles of leadership, serving their country to keep it the greatest nation that it is. Bush, Cheney, and Palin make themselves bigger targets because they rightly refuse to feel they are personally responsible for the transgressions of slavery and segregation .Letterman does this to present himself to Blacks as being on their "side." All this to appear hip, cool, chic, urban, part of the Black-is-in crowd. This is the liberal's absolution?! Thanks, but no thanks. I'll say my Hail Marys.
