And Osama seemed to really love it, didn’t he? And to think one of the symbols of hatred towards America by Islam is the fat bespectacled woman ululating with her hands in the air after 9/11. God how I wish Americans would wake up and see this terrorist loving POS for what he is.

That has been in my head for weeks. I can easily see Obama using a child as a shield.

LOL! I’m going to rent that movie again...It’s a classic! I was thinking about it for the scene where Martin Sheen’s character is at the newspaper editorial office forcing the editor to change the editorial. It’s sounding eerily familiar.

OMG...You MUST rent this movie..it’s very timely. It’s about a gentle man, played by the great Christopher Walken, who awakes from a coma with the power of foresight. By touching you, he can see your future. It’s based on a Stephen King Novel. After shaking the hand of a charasmatic Senate candidate, he sees the future with him in charge, and it ain’t pretty!

Nagourney wandered off the plantation and paid the price. You know what the massahs did to the slaves who had the gall to do that?

In the end, though, no matter how used and abused, the MSM 'Rats will remain loyal to their masters. They'll whine and cry about being abused, but not enough not to vote for their messiah.

“...reporters will be emboldened to challenge his campaign ever more aggressively.”

If the MSM doesn’t do the job, I’m sure Hillary the Heinous will. At this very minute, she has her minions working day and night, digging up dirt on Hussein. Both Hillary and Bill have been VERY quiet, and that does not bode well for B-HO. Look out for an “August Surprise.”

[Gibbs is] "Obama's hired gun, skillfully trained to shoot at reporters whose coverage was deemed unfair."

I suggest a more accurate reading might be, "whose coverage was deemed unflatteringly honest or questioning of the myth"

Worth looking at.

Also factoring into this is the free-fall of media stocks. People are sick of this incessant fawning over Obama and are voting with their feet. Journalists (if you can call them that anymore) writing non-stop puff pieces spoon-fed to them by Team Obama may be starting to think about their paychecks evaporating.

One would hope that none of them are stupid enough to think that their love for the Obomination would be reciprocated. They are being used and played, and once the Coronation takes place, they will be of no further use (except for the next election)

Lastly, constantly covering the gaffes and making Odimbo try to appear brilliant has got to be causing serious angst. A good deal of the print journalists are pretty smart (if misguided ;) and the idea of this second-stringer getting the big prize has got to be somewhat galling.

Not everyone has lost ardor for Obama.
