Well I wouldn't go that far. But it is definitely weird. I mean really; who hasn't killed a fly?? Anyone? Why in the world was it played on every channel - including Fox - as an impressive feat; swoon worthy? I just flat out don't get it. I think we're getting dumber as a people.

So, in other words, when you said you flaming libs "went through it with Bush", you didn't really go "through it", that was just one of the usual liberal "exagerations" that the rest of us call a "lie" because we can't spell the big words too good.

For the same reason that clearing brush somehow made Bush more manly and rugged? I don't get why this bothers you so much. It is typical nonsense-turned-story that we see on cable news all the time.

You know, trying to twist peoples words just makes you look bad.

List the times Bush was donated an exclusive hour of free prime time to promote a specific domestic policy program by any major media outlet.

Answer: Never.

You do realize Obama is our 44th President, not our 2nd one.

Besides, Rove bought up plenty of prime time to sell policy -- they dressed it up as legitimate news reporting-- VNR's.

You keep saying that but I didn't see it at the time. During the campaign Chris Matthews actually said on live television that Obama gave him a thrill up his leg. That is f-ing straight up weird. Calling him a ninja cause the dude killed a fly is f-ing weird. Doing specials vs press conferences, state of the unions, or press briefings is ------ f-ing weird.

It would if that was what I was doing.

I'm merely pointing out what you're saying, since you don't seem to want to admit that what your'e saying means what it means.

You either DID go through the same thing under Bush, or you did not.

You admitted that you did not, after you claimed you did.

But you're insisting that because it's the same, it's no big deal that The Messiah is getting a free pass.

But you admit that it was different under Bush.

Not my fault you're in quicksand.
 
This was f-ing weird too....

Chris Matthews is weird, though I do like Hardball.

For the rest, it sounds like Obama is being Obama. He found new and creative ways to get his message out. Do you think any network would turn down an opportunity like this for any president?
 
Point blank we need to snap out of it. And I blame us and the journalists - not Obama.

Yes.

I note Bush didn't get any such opportunity, and yet, ever since that clown with the big ears helped The Rapist President get elected in 1992, the usefulness of the infomercial format as a propaganda tool has not gone unnoticed by the political classes.

Maye it was because I was pulling for Clinton at the time. Funny how our preferences effect our perceptions, isn't it.

Not Obama's fault Bush never offered something like this.

Cite definitive proof that Bush never offered full prime-time interviews for softballs only to ABC or other media outlets.

I really cannot imagine any media outlet turning down an exclusive hour with the president.
 
And just yesterday, poor, widdle baby Obama was whining because mean ole Fox network never says anything positive about him. He's got all the other networks in the saddle with him - but thinks he should have them all. And this guy is President? Of what? Disneyland? :roll:

Did he really say that? That would be among the stupidest things he has said this week.
