It was one thing to prop 0 up when there was a chance that not many people knew the facts, but 60,000,000 people saw the debate last night and there is no hiding from it. They know they will really look foolish if they even try, but more importantly, the MSM **WILL NOT** tie themselves to a loser! Image is everything to them and 0 looked, sounded, and acted like a loser and 60,000,000 people saw it. Some of the hard-core will continue to make excuses for him, but the meme is going to turn. You are right about their vanity: they have to be “with-it” and “hip” and “cool” at all times and 0’s “coolness” and “hipness” is gone - replaced by bumbling and foolishness. Didn’t Anderson Cooper tweet last night that “Obama really does need a teleprompter?” (I think I saw it on the Live Thread.) This is an indication that changes are coming in the media’s treatment of him. This change is in the media only; 0’s followers will probably get more rabid.
Because it can't be that the policies are at fault, therefore it will have to be Obama's fault..
Off topic...I see that you're in Texas...I know that Cruz will win easily ( and can't wait to see and hear him in the Senate) but he's been pretty much off the national radar last few weeks...after the convention, he'd been out there often as an advocate for Mitt. Is this by choice?
Excellent comment. Rush has expressed on occasion that you want to achieve greatness on your own merits and not because of external forces.
Obama owes his status, fame, achievement, and power largely to the media. He should remember that as the media has built him up, the media can tear him down.
