The media outlets have shifted mode to elevate Obama's status.

Afghanistan rages on, Iraq had a massive bomb attack killing over 95 people. Remember Bush's term there was not a day without casualties being reported. Code Pink, Cindy Shehan all now hate Obama but can't manage 30 seconds of airtime.

The media may as well be state run,.

YAARRRGH! what a clown

[mrREDBIRDFAN]

Somebody pull the plug on Howard Dean.PLEASE.

I'm not a "sheep," but I give him the benefit of the doubt because I know what he's up against.

I didn't become a conspiracy theorist just because a Democrat is in office. I was actually paying under Bush, including his intention to tie the next presidents hands on the wars. I'm not foolish enough to think it's all going to change overnight, campaign promises or not.

Remember Bush achieved nearly everything he promised, and look how that turned out. At LEAST Barak is saying the right things.

[animeownage86]

umm because he IS a clone of Bush he's just a FAR better conartist then him. Has he gotten rid of the Patriot Act? No. Are we going to be out of Iraq within 18 months of him becoming president? No. Did he follow through with not having lobbyist's in his cabinet? No. I could go on for hours but it would be a waste of time since your probably one of those sheep who believes whatever the president or media say's blindly off a cliff.

[CavemanSynthesizer]

That's BS. Bush was a horrible president elected under controversial circumstances who proceeded to govern hard-right despite his narrow victory.

Now we have a Democratic president elected by a large majority seeking consensus and carefully trying to roll back his predecessor's policies and he is painted on the one side as some kind of radical socialist, and on the other as a clone of Bush.

BTW I'm shocked you heard any calls of "racism" over the deafening cries of "reverse racism"

It wont be government agencies working these claims, it will be corporations with government contracts. This whole thing is not about expanding the government its about putting money into a different set of people's pockets.

[animeownage86]

Might as well say being American "Despicable, Awful!" because that's what the government wants when Bush was in office and you didn't like what he did it meant you were a terrorist now that Obama is in and you have a different opinion your racist... two sides of the same coin more government take over, more media propaganda.
