For the most part, when it comes to politics these shows are against the current Obama administration, the House, and the Senate (both of which are currently Democratic majority). We all know this because during the Bush administration, this media outlet was extremely pro-Bush and pro-Republican. Previously, the majority of Americans believed whatever Bush and his administration said because most media outlets in the beginning gave him positive coverage. That explains why we had the majority of our country supporting Bush’s plans to invade Iraq and Afghanistan on WMDs that didn’t exist. (We have plenty of American sheeple in our country)
All the other organizations have been very gentle with criticizing Obama and his administration and very generous on complimenting his accomplishments (whatever they may be). They seemed again too much in love with our new “black” President just like they were in love with President Bush when he first arrived on the scene. You may not remember it because of the last few years, but his first few years in office everyone loved President Bush. Quite frankly, most media outlets are still infatuated with President Obama and really do a poor job covering stories that might have negative impacts on our beloved President or be considered racism. Regardless, if you don’t like the channel you are watching please simply turn the TV off or change the channel.
The United States is in dire straights with 2 pointless wars still being waged (you promised to end them and we are still waiting) costing literally billions of dollars, unemployment at 10% (which your entire economic team and cabinet mis-forecast that it would top out at 8%), foreclosures turning countless families into homeless people, a health reform that will cost about a trillion dollars (but does not deal with the real problems: health insurance and drug companies PROFITS), between 15-30 million unemployed (depending which government reports you use), and the worst federal deficit ever that is still growing (so big that it is an ugly bubble waiting to burst) with continued corrupt bailouts (bank executives making million dollar bonuses funded by taxpayer money even thought the company is posting Losses) and stimulus packages that don’t stimulate.
The campaigning is over and Obama won the Presidency, Congratulations! now lets see some real change with real results. It is almost November and the bad economy President Obama inherited from the once-loved-then-later-despised President Bush is in much, much worse condition under his watch. We can no longer accept that excuse he inherited a bad economy because he claimed he knew how to fix it in the Presidential debates. I can no longer listen to the loyal Obama fans saying give him some more time, he has only been President for 30, 60, 90 ….3xx days. The more time passes the worse it is getting. Visibly worse.

“This Week” Roundtable: The White House’s War On Fox News (I think George Stephanopoulos’ Man Crush on Obama is fading.)
The “Roundtable” of “This Week” discusses the White House’s war with Fox News Channel.
Referring to comments made by White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, George Will says that Fox News might be “opinion journalism,” but that also “describes The New York Times, and certainly MSNBC.”
Will also tells George Stephanopoulos that there is “a bullying aspect” in the Obama administration’s tactics toward the cable network.
Laura Ingraham pointed out that when “an esteemed journalist” in Charles Gibson had no clue about the ACORN scandal, there was “a collective gasp across the United States.”
“Every administration tries to manipulate the news media,” comments Cynthia Tucker, before giving an example from the Bush administration propping other journalists.
Says Bloomberg’s Al Hunt: “I must say I’m amused that Karl Rove is shocked that they would go after the press.”
The fact is the American economy is much worse now than January 2009. The New Year is around the corner. President Obama has the majority support from the country right now. Don’t let TV shows be the focus of the energy and effort spent from the White House.

One year will not fix eight years of being flushed down the toilet.
This is delusional rationale. President Obama has made the economy worse in this last year alone. Unemployment is over 10% and his administration forecast it to reach only a maximum of 8% if we approved that Wasteful Stimulus package. Foreclosures are through the roof and are continuing to increase, while his programs and arrangements with banks after giving them billions is unacceptable.
This kind or reasoning is no different than the people who voted for Bush. Always making excuses for poor performance and whining about his predecessor.
Forget about that, how about ALL the campaign promises he has not kept? We are still occupying Iraq, Gitmo is not closed, gays in the military policy has not changed, he did not acknowledge the Turkish genocide, there are lobbyists in congress, there is no transparency… the list is endless. YES, ONE YEAR is more than enough to make the changes he promised. In my eyes, mindless support for Obama is no different than the mindless support for Bush.
