Both sides should learn how to call BS when they see and hear it. I am pretty disappointed in the American public. I had given up on the media long ago.

The Obama phenomena is about to play out. A good comic will play well for a season. Once the routine gets old he has to come up with some new material or he becomes just another jester.
Maybe Obama could learn to juggle or pull a coin from behind your ear or something.

God what a pathetic bunch!

Since this thread is only designed to show the OP's complete contempt for the President and not lead to any engagement or discussion, why is it not flagged as trolling?

Dear god,

Please let us have a little fun picking on the prez. Cuz we all know he is crazy, but can't help it. Mercy upon him. Help us not to say anything too offensive, keep us circumspect, even though curses are silently uttered in our hearts. And please protect us from the wrath of those who would flag or roll over us.

Amen.

Funny how the media is just beginning to realize the truth - he's been overexposed for a while - they just love him so much, they haven't noticed.

Yet after six months in office, perhaps no other president has been more attuned to, or done more to dominate, the news cycle he disparages. Mr. Obama has given roughly three times as many interviews as George W. Bush and held four times as many prime-time news conferences as Bill Clinton had by comparable points in their terms.

The all-Obama, all-the-time carpet bombing of the news media represents a strategy by a White House seeking to deploy its most effective asset in service of its goals, none more critical now than health care legislation. But longtime Washington hands warn that saturation coverage can diminish the power of his voice and lose public attention.
I'd say he's definitely lost it.

Everyone around me has voiced that they think he's "starting to lose it." Maybe if he wasn't on the TV every other dingdong day, we wouldn't know he's going a little bonkers.

I mean he makes statements such as comparing the healthcare reform to putting a man on the moon..I hardly doubt the astrophysists at NASA would agree it is the same degree of difficulty. Does everything he says have to be like Moses on the Mount?
Just shut up and do your job.

The Associated Press: Reid: Vote on health care to wait until fall

At the town hall, Obama likened his health care effort to the race to put a man on the moon 40 years ago, saying some dismissed President John F. Kennedy's effort as "foolish, even impossible" and were proven wrong.

What will we look like to the world if he sits down and cries. I don't hink he can take it. He might actually quit under the pressure Bush sustained with grace.
