Early Show Displays Obamacized Neda Poster
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/22/2009 5:31:01 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Who says Pres. Obama isn't backing the Iranian uprising strongly enough? Why, supporters of the struggle have chosen to immortalize Neda, the young student reportedly slain by the current regime, by creating a poster of her in the style of the iconic Obama poster made famous during his presidential campaign.

Might that have been CBS's subliminal message this morning? Of all the possible posters of the fallen girl who has become the symbol of the Iranian uprising, the Early Show chose the one displayed here in the unmistakeable style Shepard Fairey used to create his Obama poster.

So the government sponsored media has chosen to pretend that barry supports the freedom seeking people of Iran by making this poster, even though anyone with a smidgen of a brain knows he does not believe in freedom.

Disgusting. 0bama is a coward who didn’t even take a side on this issue until he saw which way the prevailing winds were blowing. It is an insult to Neda and everything for which she died to defile her image this way.

There’s a website somewhere that will “obamacize” any photo. Try searching “obamacize me.”

I’ve heard at least two talking heads on CNN credit the Messiah’s Cairo speech for the uprising in Iran.

One talking head contrasted his approach with Bush’s and explained why the Exalted One got it right.

This morning on Fox, they played a DNC ad, that used the term ‘unclenched fist’.

Apparantly the manger rider used this term in his address to his constituents in the muslim world....and this will be the buzz word in the ‘Praise Allah...er...Obama’ storyline of how the chosen one caused all of this.

The golden child’s problem...the ‘reformer’ in Iran doesn’t smell too good either.

“0bama is a coward who didn’t even take a side on this issue until he saw which way the prevailing winds were blowing”

Obambi the coward still doesn’t want to “meddle” in Iranian affairs, the only recent difference is the nuanced language his speechwriters are injecting into his public comments to try and make him appear more “tough” on the mullahs when in truth nothing has changed. It’s a joke and disgrace, the mullahs and all of our enemies know this and will try to take advantage of it. Obambi you coward!

The Obama “Administration” has chosen to negotiate with whoever wins, including the masters of the thug who shot this young woman.

The Obama “news media” should know that we do not share their slavish adoration for Mr. Obama.

That's the spin the Obama-worshipping media have decided to take.

All that is good to come out of the Middle East will be the result of the Exalted One's speech.
All negative to come out of the Middle East will be the result of Bush's policies.

Winston Smith would have been on the fast track to upper management had he the deceptive skills of the modern US media.
