Basically the Obama admin. don't want anyone to ever say anything negative about Obama, no matter how factual. Of course no one wants negative things said about them, but the level in which it's gotten to is absurd. When SNL made fun of Obama's lack of accomplishments, the Huffington Post acted like that was a horrible thing to say. "An overly harsh criticism." Good grief... it's SNL, and after how EVERYONE destroyed Bush they whine about that? Our media is liberal as hell.

Once more, Obama underestimates the intelligence of the American people.

It's unfortunately true. In fact try to find any satire or political humor on President Obama. You won't find very much.

Fuck the New Yorker... it's time for that piece of shit, politically biased, ego-driven rag to be flushed down the toilet.

The New Yorker is just a secret club that only a special few get to join, after the insider clique has had another coven meeting.

It's a new world, and there's no place for these fucking archaic, nepotism-ridden boat anchors who just want to drag everything down.

Just like the Seattle PI and the rest of those fuckhead pubs, I hope the web destroys them all...
