Wow, Madeline, how long did it take you to find one example of them not bashing Bush or Republicans in general?

NPR is another liberal lovefest that needs to go away or support itself. And, the left talks about bringing back the “fairness doctrine”? Gimme a freaking break.

Here’s the irony about Obama. He’s getting nearly every thing he wants. Cooperation from the left and right. The Republicans arent fighting him on anything and probably wont. So, Obama basically has free reign to do whatever he wants when he gets into office. Its going to be interesting to see the excuses he comes up with when he can’t produce results. He cant blame it on the evil Republicans not cooperating. They are bending over backwards to help him. My guess he will bash Bush for at least two years saying “things are much worse than I ever imagined” and claim that’s why he cant get anything done.

I do find it telling that his apparent first act in office is to close Gitmo. Way to go! Then what? Where are all these terrorists going to go? Release them so they can rejoin the fight?

America wanted the “historical” moment of electing Obama. Great, we’ve got that. Now he needs to be a leader. Being President is not easy and is more than just getting a cool place to live, picking out a dog for your kids and having your mother-in-law shack up in the White House.

Sometimes I feel like I am living in an alternate universe. What was America thinking? Gore is looking like an excellent alternative right about now! Ditto for Kerry.

Hey, does anyone remember the Frontline documentary “The Jesus Factor”? It was a rather flattering look at how GWB’s faith informs his political stances. They interviewed a bunch of Bush advisors and evangelical leaders. Of course, this doesn’t fit into your narrative of “PBS hates Republicans”, “The media hates conservatives” and “everyone is against us”, so I’m sure you’ll just ignore it.

If you choose not to ignore it, you can view the whole thing online here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jesus/

The media, fair and balanced? Sounds like wishful thinking to me! I’d love to see it too, but don’t hold your breate. They are a joke, it’s really no surprise to me how the election turned out! The sheeple are in the palm of their hands. This is but only one example of how our taxes are being wasted on garbage. I think they just may succeed in taking down this great country…what a shame!!!

Fox News is the fairest, we need a Network that does not have a political agenda,
FOX and AFR radio seem to be the best in my judgement.

“Frontline” has already written President George W Bush’s history and Chaney’s history in thier left wing version; “Frontline” propaganda. I stopped watching PBS and have written to my congressmen to limit funds to PBS because of the slander. I hate to think that our tax dollars are supporting the crap they put out about history, conservative people, global warming, etc.. and misrepresent it to be FACT.

I’m sorry, Did I miss the second coming of Christ?? Although I am not sure their would be commemorative coins. I could be wrong, though!

They are really setting this guy up for failure. –And I am going to sky write “I told you so!”

Pete:

The point of my questions was not whether Obama’s transcripts from Columbia is important – I don’t know that it is.

But the point is that the media made sure to investigate everything about Gov Palin while ignoring the background of our next president. As evidence look at how all the stories about the corruption in Illinois that Obama came out of but somehow was never a part of. Those media bulldogs really made sure the voters knew everything there was to know about Obama didn’t they?

We have Richardson and now Schapiro, two appointments by Obama that tanked. Regarding Blago, Obama and Emanuel know all about his scheme. They were both strategists for him on his run for governor. One of Obamas friends Bernadine Dorhn is being investigated for the murder of a police officer in a San Fransisco bombing. Do ya think he knows that? Obama earmarked money to Aidscare in Chicago when he was a senator. The founder and CEO of Aidscare is a former Chicago preist and accused child molester, James Flosi. The Archdiocese of Chicago have substantiated the claims against him. Do ya think he knew this? Do ya think after 20 years, he knew Rev Wright spewed racial hatred every week at the Trinity church in Chicago? Michelle Obamas college thesis is available online. Why hasn’t the new messiah released his college thesis. The Obama fanatics will give him a pass on everything, as they beleive he can fly, then nose dive into the ocean and swim underwater from Los Angeles to Hawaii while saving the Whale. Obama is way in over his head. Its fun to hear him talk about his “team” so often. He uses the word “team” about 9K a week. He told Tom Brokaw that his “team” is crunching the numbers regarding the economy. What president says crunching the numbers? He’s a goof.

Pete after seeing your rants and then your defensive posture perhaps Nicol may have what, hit a nerve? Apparently Sara Palin must bring up bad high school memories and the girl that got away? Its eitehr that or some wierd psychosis that overcomes you the moment you see a female more successful than you are. Chillax boy, life isn’t fair and teh world keeps on a spinnin whether you like it or not.

As a member of the vaunted MSM, the only good thing I see the next four years is most of my co-workers being in good moods for at least the next couple weeks until reality sets in and they realize Obama is actually human.
