CNN’s Saturday filled with following Barack Obama’s train trip to the Inauguration was also filled with Obama praise. At one juncture, CNN couldn’t help but metaphorically merge Barack Obama with the exhilarating news of the US Airways pilot who landed his plane in the Hudson River without losing a single passenger.
A few minutes after 2 pm Eastern time, anchorman Wolf Blitzer recalled "Soledad [O’Brien] and I were talking about this earlier and she was saying metaphorically in some ways, the pilot of that airplane is very much like Barack Obama -- that he got the plane down safely, but everybody else had to join together to get out of the plane and pull together to get through that adversity. I thought that was an interesting metaphor.
Since Democratic heroes were the primary topic, Blitzer also described how he skipped school to go see Robert F. Kennedy speak in Buffalo. Here’s how the pilot metaphor emerged:
BLITZER: But we've been going through a number of years now where people were starting to lose faith in the country. They were starting to lose faith in the future. They thought our best days were behind us. That's very, very -- that's a big break from our tradition. We've always been optimistic people. Well people are starting to lose confidence. And he has come along and rekindled that confidence.
I think that airplane that went down, the US Air flight and the pilot -- and Soledad and I were talking about this earlier and she was saying metaphorically in some ways, the pilot of that airplane is very much like Barack Obama -- that he got the plane down safely, but everybody else had to join together to get out of the plane and pull together to get through that adversity. I thought that was an interesting metaphor.O'BRIEN: And it's a metaphor that Barack Obama keeps emphasizing, which is it is not about me. And there's a host of reasons to do that. Number one, you can't turn the economy around by yourself. That's not going to happen. So push that back on people.
O’Brien later turned around and suggested that President Bush did a bad job of inspiring young people after 9/11 to offer themselves in public service, unlike Obama. She constructed a straw man Bush that only told young people to go shop:
ANDERSON COOPER: Clearly the inauguration in this is the first step in that. They've wanted to make this the most inclusive inauguration. They've said repeatedly that's part of the reason behind the train journey, allowing more people to play a role in this. And this day of service which we talked about on Monday, the day before the inauguration.
O'BRIEN: They have to give them a real role. When you look back to Martin Luther King days, a lot of these young people, you saw the pictures of the children in busses hauled off to jail. Their parents had jobs and their parents could not lose those jobs.
So who was volunteering to be part of that? The kids were. The 16-year-olds were. So you have to give them a real opportunity, not a, ‘go shop’ or ‘go do something that doesn't matter.’ Be part of a movement, of a campaign. I agree, in New York, after 9/11, people were so touched. You'd get on the subway and people wouldn't speak. It was jam-packed and just so quiet, but no one knew what to do.
Then came the part where Wolf Blitzer talked about skipping school to see the liberal heroes speak:
BLITZER: All of us, I'm sure, remember -- we can go around. All of us can remember a moment when we were teenagers or something, we saw a major political figure. I remember growing up in Buffalo, Robert F. Kennedy. I saw him when he was running for the U.S. Senate with a good friend of mine, Carl Vizzi (ph). We sort of skipped school and we went to see Bobby Kennedy. It was a pretty amazing moment. I still remember it. Anderson is freaking out.
COOPER: You can admit that you skipped school now. You have to hedge it. The truant officer is no longer --
BLITZER: I was a good student, but once in a while you wanted to see Bobby Kennedy.

Who you goingl to fly with
January 17, 2009 - 22:03 ET by Robert S LaRuersl775
That whole thought is absolutely preposterous. The pilot has spent a whole life in preparation, training and doing. He has a resume showing he is qualified and his qualification can be verified. On the other hand the President elect has none of these credentials he is an unknown. He is the total polar opposite of the pilot. I would get on any plane this pilot was flying but I am being asked to go flying with other guy. I'll be in the terminal on this one.
What kind of delusion are these people under
January 17, 2009 - 23:00 ET by bpjamat what point has this entire year been about anything BUT Obama??
Obama is the beginning, the middle and the end, the cause and effect, the entire reason for this 'new happiness' the media feels. Nothing has changed except they got their guy elected. Obama has yet to accomplish anything, propose anything of any specifics, change any dynamics or realities in the universe.
The only 'change' is in how the media feels about themselves and everything else now that their Messiah has arrived. If that was all it took for them to love America, well....it pretty much proves that Bush wasn't the problem at any point in time. The media creates their own reality and then they spend their days trying to impose that viewpoint on the rest of America. And unfortunately they still have influence. But at least they don't have any more incentive to want America to fail like they have been lobbying for over the last 5 years.

Well gee, that's insulting to suggest an actual hero is like their phony hero.
And also notice Blitzer is suggesting that the adversity we face is now in OUR hands because obama has showed up and has done his part by inspiring us. So if we don't get out of this mess you can't blame obama. We will have failed him.

Yes I also noticed that...the msm are already getting armed with their talking points, plans all laid out if things like the economy or anything else doesn't turn around, as if they aren't going to be the very people to destroy it futher....along with some spineless RINOs.
Can you imagine if this was a conservative republican.

January 17, 2009 - 22:58 ET by ConservativeRexBT,You can get away from it. Since the election I have sworn off of all television news. I thought it would be difficult, it's not.
NB and Drudge and Conservative Grapevine are usually enough to keep me up to date, and at times cause a rise in my BP.
I had noticed that Fox News was nearly as lousy as all the rest of them, but I reckon they have to make a living too. Just not at my expense.
Needless to say I will not watch the crowning of Obami. I will however, be working to defeat him, the rest of the libs, and all RINOS in the next four years. That is something I can contribute.
That's my plan,
January 17, 2009 - 23:04 ET by motherbeltThat's my plan, too.

Heck, I already listen to only a couple of shows as it is now since the election, not all of them either...I listen to the radio during the day, which will also be covering this.
Bad enough getting cabin fever here in the winter...this is worse.
We had our power go out here about 13 years ago from another global warming storm....lasted about 2 and half weeks...well, this would be a good time for that to happen if ever to happen again.
Being a little melodramatic here....but I am just past fed up, that's all.
I have never in all my years seen anything like this.
I am a political junkie...I never thought I would see the day when I won't even keep up with the enemy networks that carry the political shows....well, I have reached that point, maybe with time I will get back to normal...who knows, all I know is at the moment I am about ready to explode with the msm.
Well, that's my rant...I feel better...especially after watching that video from fedup on the Saturday videos...if you haven't watch it...you will die laughing.

January 18, 2009 - 02:45 ET by thebutlerdiditI always appreciate your point of view, BT. I have read dozens and dozens of political sites, and even though this one has more to do with media bias, it is still has the best commenters on politics. You mentioned that you had roof issues, can I recommend a metal roof? That is part of my profession, I buy/sell steel coils for commercial and residential use, and also own a business that sells metal roofing and components. If you've never had a good metal roof, you are missing out. Just thought I would throw that out there. As for the pilot being like Obama, no. He is sort of like Ted Kennedy, though. Except he didn't let anyone drown in the river.

An intresting metaphor, for something that hasn't happend yet? I hate to make you face reality, Wolfie, but Obama hasn't done a damn thing yet except for talk. I think better metaphor would be a pilot talking about what he was going to do, AS THE PLANE CRASHED INTO THE WATER!

"[P]eople were starting to lose faith in the country"? "[P]eople"? "They were starting to lose faith in the country"? "They"? "They thought our best days were behind us." "They"? "Well people are starting to lose confidence"? "[P]eople"?
Translation: Leftists like Wolf Blitzer "were starting to lose faith in the country" and "thought our best days were behind us" and "are starting to lose confidence". It's a favorite technique of leftist political activists like Blitzer, but anytime you hear Blitzer or his like-minded fools allege that "America", "Americans" or "people" "think" something, that merely means that leftists like Blitzer "think" something.

Millions are serving because of 9/11 and Bush
January 18, 2009 - 00:06 ET by nkviking75O’Brien later turned around and suggested that President Bush did a bad job of inspiring young people after 9/11 to offer themselves in public service, unlike Obama.
What the hell were all of those brave men and women who enlisted, or reenlisted, after 9/11 doing? These people were willing to risk life and limb. And for the last seven years there has been story after story after story of people on the home front taking on all kinds of projects to show support, like sending school supplies for our people to distribute to Iraqi and Afghani children, or sending necessities to make of people's lives easier while on duty overseas.
How stupid do you have to be to miss the obvious fact that millions of Americans have been serving this country in one way or another as their response to 9/11? And a major part of the credit for inspiring this service rests with one George W. Bush, who again and again and again has called us to serve and then praised the people who did.
Welcome to the era of unity, you racist!

January 18, 2009 - 07:58 ET by motherbeltWell for one thing, liberals don't consider the military as "public service." To them it's a "necessary evil."

January 18, 2009 - 09:48 ET by BDYou are right about the left not seeing the military as public service.
I continuously see idiots being interviewed on TV saying that they were saddened that the president did not ask the american public to sacrifice immediately after 9/11. What crap.
Usually right after that comment on TV with the interviewer nodding sagely a commerical comes on asking for people to join the military in some form.
And many have.
But what these nutcases want is for people to go on aluminum scavanging hunts or ration gasoline etc. Niether of which is necessary nor wanted.
Sully is a hero; Obama's "heroism" is pure PR
January 18, 2009 - 00:35 ET by nkviking75Capt. Sullenberger is a hero because he was prepared, and because he performed amazingly well when the moment arose.
Obama is a "hero" because of relentless PR, and since he is not yet the president, his moment isn't even here yet. But the preliminary signs are far less than promising.
Sully may lack a lot of the usual qualifications for the job, but based on what I know, he's more ready to be president than the man who's about to take the oath.

Obama, his cronies, and most of the Hollywood elites wouldn't know or recognize a real hero if one was standing next to them getting presented with the MOH.
The only hero that Obama, his cronies, and the Hollywood elites know is the sandwich. And then only because they see it on a menu.

Statues will be erected to him.
Calls are already being made to repeal the 22nd Amendment to allow him to stay in office forever.

January 18, 2009 - 08:48 ET by eaglewingz08I agree. The true heroes were Sully and Bush. Sully did a miracle with the plane that may have happened only once before in the past hundred years. Bush too is a hero but in a way like Moses (I know only Obama can be compared to Moses, but I'm a heretic of the Obama cult). Bush, like Moses, took a stiff necked people (democrats) who constantly complained about his leadership, and against the complaints, constant snipings and vicious attacks by them, took his country to the promised land of victory in Iraq, through the surge. Then on the precipice he saw the victory, but could not enter that victorious celebration. Luckily for Bush, he won't be dead before the democrats start celebrating the victory in Iraq that would be now in a genocidal mania, had it not been for Pres. Bush's steadfastness. The pilot of Flight 1549 had unified passengers pulling together. Pres. Bush had to pilot a plane with traitorous passengers actively seeking to toss him from the plane.
Pres. Bush wasn't perfect, who is, but he kept us safe for seven years and he has my praise.
Liberals 'Comprehension Challenged'
January 18, 2009 - 08:57 ET by Retired GeekHow could anyone explain anything to a Liberal?
Liberals do NOT use facts, logic and reason to make decisions.
Liberals use emotion, intuition, feelings and sensations to make decisions.
Barack
Obama has NO executive experience, he has NEVER even run a lemonade
stand (my six year old granddaughter has more business experience) yet
Liberals using (emotion, intuition, feelings and sensations) think he
can solve the economic woes.
What a 'Nutty Group' Obama worshipers are!
Obama is NOT a hero - Obama is a Malignant Narcissist
January 18, 2009 - 09:05 ET by Retired GeekObama and His Cultist Worshipers
Obama personifies the 'Narcissistic Elitist'. Narcissists have a gnawing fear inside of them - their fear of inferiority.
They try to validate self by attacking and belittling others wisdom, knowledge, values or belief system.
Narcissists
expect everyone to recognize their 'Superiority' and give them the
special treatment they so richly deserve - not because of skill or what
they have accomplished – but because of whom they are.
Barack
Obama believes his very presence solves problems and relieves pain.
Barack Obama has great disdain for those who do not see his “special”
abilities and uses those who believe in him – like tissue to be
disposed of when no longer needed - he throws them 'Under the Bus'.
Barack Obama and his 'Cultist Followers' know the truth, so facts are not only unnecessary, but bigoted statements.
Some famous narcissists are Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Pol Pot and Mao.
Narcissists are intelligent, yet emotional wrecks.
They are deeply disturbed people.
Barack Obama has set himself extremely high goals. The Obama goals always have to do with domination, power and respect.
Barack Obama regards and treats other people as objects to be exploited.
Barack
Obama uses others to obtain narcissistic supply. He believes that he is
entitled to special treatment because he harbors these grandiose
fantasies about himself.
Barack Obama is a deeply disturbed individual!
Malignant narcissist? That's good, but I'd modify slightly . . .

Soledad, not all of us voted for your hero
January 18, 2009 - 10:15 ET by WorriedLive risking actions make a hero. What has Hussein ever done for him to be perceived a hero? Keep it up CNN. You just continue to go to the bottom of the heap.
For sheer Obama Madness ...
January 18, 2009 - 10:21 ET by drewinmass61It will be hard to beat the Boston Herald's Margary Eagan today -- her editorial is titled "Heroism, Grace in a pilot and in a President". I kid you not.
Can you imagine Obama in
January 18, 2009 - 23:59 ET by SvenCan you imagine Obama in the cockpit of that plane?
Pilot Obama: "ah, errr, ahhh, ohhhh, ahh, errrr and uuhhh...is there a telepromptor so I can ahhh, err speak with the tower?"
I would love to hear here
October 6, 2009 - 20:34 ET by johanna10I would love to hear here your opinion about Obama. Personally I used to hate him for some time but now I see that people actually like him. He have a certain karma and I couldn't step over without noticing it. Well I have to admit that he also gave me a dream job at West Des Moines roofing but honestly I loved him before he did this for me.
