I still have no respect for this man.  He's using this opportunity to go along with public sentiment, that is Obama is still personally popular but his policies are not.  That goes to show you how ignorant the American public is right now.

When the people fear the government it's called tyranny, when the government fears the people it's called liberty!

In the Bush years, everyone but Bush got face time. When there was a foreign policy crisis, Condi Rice (or Powell before her) was on, not Bush. Or it was Rumdfeld. But not Bush.

Now, while Obama is hot, they're using him all the time.

I realize that government is not basketball, but any male who was sentient during the 1990s knows the Michael Jordan story. Michael was a great ballplayer, but he couldn't win a championship by himself. It was only when he dedicated himself to building a team that the Bulls won six championships.

In any team sport (and government qualifies as a team), you have to get the rest of the team involved. And when it comes to the egos that find their way into government, sooner or later, you're going to have to give them face time. Larry Summers is going to need some face time. And let's not kid each other, any administration which employs Hillary Clinton ... she's gonna have to get some face time sooner or later. But it's not so easy. Right now, all those personalities are on the Obama reservation. If he lets them out, they may develop a life of their own -- and then he's in trouble.

This is where experienced management comes in handy. It takes experience to handle huge egos. The easy way out is to smother them, but then you don't get the benefit of their talent. If you want their talent to help you, you have to figure a way to let them out without being afraid of their initiative.

Obama is just keeping the lid on them right now. That isn't management, it's fear.

Obama said it himself - 'You aint' seen nuthin' yet'.  He knows now that his personal approval rating is tied directly to his media slaves, and even THEY are getting sick of him.

There's a reason why he said 'it's now or never' for his Communist Medical plan.  The next election cycle is going to get ugly.  I mean REALLY ugly.  What the media did during the Obama campaign against Palin will seem like Sesame Street compared to what they're going to do in 2010.

These media slaves to the Obama thug machine will fight like dragons to KEEP the demorats in the majority in the house, the senate and everywhere else.  They're going to slime and trash every Republican  in their desperation to help their party of choice maintain their absolute control over your lives.

The template is already set people, and your'e seeing the first volleys already.  Every shooting and act of violence happening in the country right now is being blamed by Obama's media slaves on Republicans.  

Rush was right.  Demorats are fighting to try and criminalize their political opponents.  Mark my words, it will get to a point before long where the media will be asking questions like 'should the Republican party be outlawed - for the GOOD of the country'?

It seems that every morning I turn on my tv there is Obama 'live' and I am sick of it. Do I really need the Smoker-In-Chief to hold a press conference to tell me to cover my mouth when I cough or sneeze. Do I need him to explain that the govt is now honoring the GM car warranties, ad nauseum? It isn't necessary to address the nation every single day. Does he ever put in a full day at the office? Do your damn job, sir. Stop playing the part of the attention whore.

actually going to do something?!!  Is he serious?  His hero has done more to destroy the economy and free market in America than anyone imagined was possible.

1) Barack Obama wants to accommodate the Citizens who refuse to provide for themselves, by stealing from those Citizens who do provide for themselves and 'Spread the Wealth'.

2) Barack Obama wants to redefine 'Perverted Behavior' as good, so that those bound by perversion can have 'Self Esteem'.

3) Barack Obama wants to declare that 'Good is Evil' and that 'Evil is Good', in order to destroy any moral codes, values and the idea of right and wrong.

4) Barack Obama wants to perpetuate Racism and Bigotry as necessary to achieve 'Equality' and therefore bring about 'Social Justice'.

5) Barack Obama is against 'Equal Rights' and 'Protections', provided by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights for every Citizen in America, because he 'Feels' that certain races, genders and sexual preferences should have 'Special Rights and Protections' other citizens should not have.

6) Barack Obama believes that a 'Certain Class of Citizens' (babies), should have no 'Rights or Protections' in order that another 'Class of Citizens' can kill them.

7) Barack Obama has great 'Empathy' for criminals, rapists, murderers but NO 'Sympathy' for the victims of those criminals.

8) Barack Obama 'Feels' that America's enemies, who have 'Sworn' to kill and destroy all of America's Citizens should be treated with 'Honor and Respect', even if that means the 'Destruction of America'.

9) Barack Obama wants to view America's veterans as potential terrorist who must be constantly monitored. At no time does Barack Obama treat Veterans with 'Honor and Respect' except to pay lip service during a photo op. (thanks Russ)

10) Barack Obama is 'Ashamed' of America, because its Citizens have created the most powerful and free Country in the history of mankind.

11) Barack Obama believes that 'Socialism', which has caused over 100,000,000 deaths by murder and starvation, is the 'Best Approach' for 'Change' in America.

I've been trying to find a place to borrow the old Anthony Quinn movie "The Secret of Santa Vittoria".  There is a scene at the beginning where town drunk Quinn has climbed the water tower to paint an anti Mussolini slogan after the fall of Mussolini and he tells his young friend how when Mussolini took powers all the fools cheered, and who was the biggest fool cheering loudest, it was I, Bombolini!

I didn't put that in quotes because it is just a paraphrase.

With all due respect, Maher played you.

This is more propaganda, just far more subtle than is his norm.

The point of the piece isn't Obama's overexposure. The point is that despite all the radical changes Obama and the Democrats have shoved through Maher doesn't think they've been radical or fast <i>enough</I>.  He's saying that Bush was unapologeticin all the things he did that Maher deems wrong, and so Obama should just shove through whatever he wants and stop explaining.

This isn't a positive.  It's a call to arms to the Liberals to push for more radical change.
