Insiders claim that Obama's media dweebs in Washington want to force the broadcast networks to give up either a full hour, or perhaps a half-hour, of prime time every month so The Great Obama can conduct his televised version of fireside chats.

Like I said in an earlier post, tonight's press conference of an hour of rambling about nothing had a Fidel Castro feel to it. It wouldn't surprise me that he wants to subject us to it on a regular basis. Maybe we will get extra food credits for watching that we can use in the Obama Depression.

Isn’t it funny how liberals with money always want to make more? Business owners don’t want to lose business. You might be onto something...

“Now I hear Obama also wants to control the CENSUS!...He wants to be a dictator and have control of everything, and everyone.”

You’re right.

Yep, I checked the poll out...looks like a poll a dictator would authorize.

The best scenario is maybe AOL’s poll is our STUCK ON STUPID award winner tonight.

“Eh second thot, I think Rush needs to start broadcasting offshore—a Radio Free America. Not kidding :(

The thought of pirate stations did cross my mind.”

<<<Maybe Belize or Costa Rica?

I'll bet the lefty networks are just thrilled that they helped this Marxist bastard seize control of our country. They are learning the hard lesson that the useful idiots are the first to get lined up against the wall.

“No wonder Hussein Øbama the Magnificent wants to delay the switchover to digital signal TV. That would delay the Firesign chats “explaining” his learned and superiorly educated point of view.

Good Heavens! The peasants might turn on AM radio and hear the truth if the TV goes out.”
****************

That’s the first thing I thought of when they began discussing this digital delay - and that may even be their theory. However, I have a feeling that the people with rabbit ears tend to be more conservative, while most of the people “who can’t afford to buy the converter boxes and so need the (stupid welfare) coupons” are paying $75/month for cable and dishes.

Question, does Copp have the legal/constitutional right to “demand” the relicensing every 2 years??

Just a point of order. The companies currently licensed are also the OWNERS of the hardware that constitutes the radio or TV station. Just because ACORN or a labor union garners the license doesn't convey the right to use the hardware of the previous licensee. They would have to either purchase it or set up their own hardware. That's millions per station. A wise owner could simply wait out the little game. A license without hardware is worthless. It also takes skilled personnel to operate the gear.

“Check out this AOL poll.. No thumbs down allowed???”

******

LOL - that’s hilarious. Also, Obama’s Grandma called (from Kenya), she is missing her Barack photo album.

Obama will get on the TV and use his NLP programming/hypnosis. NLP is not BS by the way it is real.

It doesn't work well if the TV if OFF. I refuse to waste another minute watching that disgusting Marxist turd.
