IF he would have been elected at all.

While making a point of taking pictures of Obama with a "halo" light effect.......they were digging thought Palin's hairdresser's trash can.

Pig headed, and someone with a childish bullish nature, when he does not get his way. Never seen a President act like him.
Well when someone is arrogant that is because they don't care what "anyone" thinks. And Obama's constant blaming of everyone else, republicans. He is talking to his base, trying to rile them up. He doesn't care if we listen to what he is saying.He does't care if anyone agrees with him.

Oh don't you know if he was a R, the press would be hounding him 24/7 for him to just give it up. News Paper articles, would be asking for him to resign. CERTAIN News Outlets would be all over his butt 24/7 and wanting him to resign, we all know this by now.

He would be getting attacked day in and day out, no relief in sight.

Which I find disgusting, because Obama deserves everything and more I just said.

We basically handed them a blueprint for how to replicate it. He pretty much got a free pass on the failures to implement the counter-terrorism strategy handed to him by Clinton. Rice's comment was that they weren't given a plan, just a "list of actionable items" or a plan as other people would call it.

Bush got as fair of a shake with the media as he deserved and he didn't go out of his way to engage them unless they were Fox News.
A lot of the anti-Bush stuff was by MSNBC which is what Fox News is to Obama. It goes by political lines. I do notice that more and more Obama is starting to get the Bush treatment by other than Fox New on a regular basis. MSNBC. I don't like MSNBC or Fox News because both are cheerleaders for their side of the aisle. I rather come up with my own assumptions so it's RT America on YouTube, Young Turks and CNN for me.

Talk about revising history at its finest! Even Comedy Central aired Lil Bush while Bush was in office.

How would you feel about a cartoon making a fool of Lil Obama?

How would THAT not be perceived as racially charged?


Bush was treated fairly

That is absolutely incorrect. No major media outlet is as vile and filled with hate rhetoric towards conservatives as MSNBC. I watch both Fox and MSNBC on occasion, and I've yet to hear the level of blather from Fox that MSNBC puts out. I mean come on... they have Sharpton on at prime time! Nuff said!

Lil' Bush was about bumbling Bush similar to making jokes about Clinton and the cigar after the Monica Lewinsky story came out. Presidential satire existed since even before clumsy Ford on SNL. It's nothing new. Obama just hasn't had it as much or as blatantly for whatever reason.

Hold on a second! We are talking about a weekly cartoon series devoted to trashing Bush.


Name a dedicated series designed to trash any other sitting President.


You look like a fool trying to say Bush was treated fairly, or that he wasn't trashed on a daily basis, fair or not.

None but there were regular SNL bits claiming Ford was bumbling putz when Chevy Chase lampooned him. Hell, Animaniacs used that their factoid about him in their presidents song.

SNL targeted every politician! The entire show wasn't dedicated to the trashing of a sitting President. You can't deny these facts, so why are you trying?

Obama's administration is nothing short of Nixonian, and main stream media has been his protector. They come to his defense on even the most indefensible of his actions.
