Never has the media shown its true colors the way it has this past year. Fortunately, the Obama tax hikes will be enough to provoke the immune system of voters. When that happens, media cheerleaders won't be able to keep their Democrat darlings in control of Congress. Voters will eventually boot the tax-and-spend Democrats out of office. Except for the Teflon Messiah. He will get a second term. After all, he is the media's Anointed One.

Oh c'mon Ward, you cannot still be harboring all this anger towards Obama. You cannot seriously tell me that, if McCain had won and in the event of his early demise, you would want Sarah Palin running this broken down country right now. Obama inherited a shithole, and this man, no matter how much you may disagree with him about whatever issue, you have to admit that he as intelligence and a total dedication to serving. So far, he seems to be a very honorable guy who wants to work hard and do what is best for the country. We had two choices. McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden. I think those of us who voted Obama/Biden made the best choice. There is nothing he could do right now in either direction that is going to fix the country asap. Nothing. But let's give him a chance.

The Obamedia, from the major networks to the major papers, are like lapdogs, cheerleading Obama's choices and agreeing with his bailout plans. I liked the way the Tribune's front page story--unintentionally an opinion piece--told what Obama "....must do." What must he do, according to the Tribune? Continue spending government money to reward industries for failure--and thus ensuring future failure. Meanwhile, a major Obamedia member, the Associated Press, had a typically fawning article---an ARTICLE, not a column---yesterday touting the Messiah's plans. The AP's article had the beautifully oxymoronic headline, "Obama Pledges Fiscal Restraint, Big Spending." Bush's spendathon shows his stupidity, clear to all for years, and now Obama will continue the bailout debacle. What a waste. Responding to damage by creating more damage.
