Obama is a communist. He has a history of surrounding himself with communists. In his own book, he states that he hung out with Marxists. His grandparents belonged to the communist party. He supports and promotes policies that are clearly Marxist in nature.

For Fox to play Soviet music over the pictures of the Obama administration isn't a stretch.

Welcome to America.
Ever since the election of Bill Clinton, the presidency, itself, has been entertainment.

Without that entertainment, even fewer Americans would even know who the president was.

Actually, since the election of Bill Clinton, this whole nation has been entertainment to the rest of the world.

Unfortunately, the nation has been, and continues to be, a laughingstock.

Oh, so Bill Clinton had that distinction. I do have to agree that we've become a laughingstock. What is going on in America?

Really. who coined using this term? There is a lot of controversy brewing about these appointees as it is, titling them as Russian royalty is tossing kerosene on a fire.

the term "czar" has been used to jokingly refer to various american politicians and officials since at least the 19th century. but the term solidified as a way for the media to refer to people in the president's administration who focus on a particular issue with roosevelt, and got really well known with nixon and his drug & energy czars.

i honestly haven't followed the whole obama czar non-issue - is he actually calling them czars, or are other people? he does have a lot of them, but so far he has less than bush.

The necessity of Fox News to do such is a stark reminder of the failure of mainstream network news to uphold the rights and responsibilities incumbent upon them in exchange for the use of public airwaves. More than anything, this demonstrates how mainstream news networks are NOT reporting for the public good, but for the good of the President.

Thank God for cable news. An alternative point of view is key.
