I’m convinced Obama is nothing more than a walking PR person, trying to sell the ideas of those who are telling him what to say and do.

There is no way a community organizer, with an affirmative action law degree from Harvard, knows economics, history, civics or anything else of how the world works. He has his idealism but no clue what that means or what will happen if he accomplishes what he thinks he wants to do.

[snugs]

In a way I hope he has done something similar in the Czech Republic or else I will fear that Britian was singled out in an attempt to get our PM to tow the line.

[Morgan in Denver]

Judging from Obama’s actions and statements, along with other Democrats, I think he’s more of a fascist than a socialist. Both being statist big government control programs.

sure it was bush league of Michelle to put her arm around the Queen, but it took moxy to feed those carrets to Camilla

[snugs]

I boil sometimes when I hear day after day each problem or new initiative being attributed or compared to GWB. Many of the so called Obama administration new ideas and outreach are just continuation of the Bush administration policies but shouted from the roof tops more.

If one searched the archived GWB White House Website it would not take long to find many out reaches that he championed throughout not only America but the world.

I watched geraldo last night and it was disgusting. I watched in stunned awe at his slobbering over mrs bo. He must have said “style” a hundred times. For the life of me don’t know how I didn’t turn it off.
I guess with all the reruns we get on the weekends from Fox now, it was the first actual live show they had on, so I was hoping for something better than what I got.
FNC weekend line up is terrible. I like Hannity and Glenn Beck, but don’t want to watch them over and over.
What the heck???

[Carley]

As we see from all the posturing regarding NK’s missile launch, he’s all talk and no action.

The false bluster is ludicrous. Particularly after Gates comes out and says there is nothing we can do about NK.

The entire administration is filled with fools and traitors.

[Miss Marple]

Morgan, the most disturbing thing is not that he doesn't know these things, it's that he doesn't consider them important.

How could they not know there is an Office of Protocol in the State Department? Hillary knows that, even if Obama didn't.

The answer is that they didn't bother to check because it didn't seem important to them.

A humble person would know that he isn't up to snuff and would be getting advice. Obama thinks he knows it all (examples include GM, budget, stimulus, etc.) and will not consider any alternatives.

I am very worried about North Korea, and the BEST person we have on board to deal with them is....Hillary Clinton?

President Bush drapes the Congressional Medal of Honor on Ed Freeman of Boise, Idaho, in the East Room at the White House Monday, July 16, 2001. Mr. Freeman was awarded the honor for his actions in 1965 when, as a helicopter pilot during, he flew through gunfire more than 20 times during a single, ferocious battle, bringing supplies to a trapped batallion and flying more than 70 wounded soldiers to safety.

One wonders if the current President has posted anything on the current White House website - am I brave enough to go over there and check?

Major Garrett's report on the Obama visit to the Czech Republic said, "the crowd was chanting Obama, Obama."

He left out part of the quote: "The natives were chanting Obama, Obama, don't step in the Obama".

C-Span has EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson.

C-span has some doofy environwacko greenwire reporter female.

They are saying it will take THOUSANDS of years to fix man made global warming.

C-Span is drinking the green kool ade if this is the best they can do for journalism. Sould have known by the michele obama frumpiness of the females on the show.

[Morgan in Denver]

I believe it’s using perception over reality.

0 and the Democrats are trying to sell us, just like a snake oil salesman. I’m starting to like Billy Mayes these days.

[Morgan in Denver]

Agreed. Completely, as a matter of fact.

Hope everyone is ready of four years of screw ups while a willing media/press keeps saying how great he’s doing.

[W-Girl]

I know, the comparison, is comical !!

Jackie O bred from class, tradition and old money who wasn't faking it !!

Michelle “the frump” from Chicago-land making it up as she goes along !!

The MSM craving another Camelot .....getting NO CLASS-NO CLUE IGNORANCE OF FOREIGN PROTOCAL that even the average person would have better sense about !!

[cookiedough]

You said: “I am very worried about North Korea, and the BEST person we have on board to deal with them is....Hillary Clinton? “

Don’t worry — she will send Jane Fonda to deal with NK.

Any time geraldo comes on, my TV goes off - no matter what program he is crashing.

[Morgan in Denver]

Bush 43 was a conundrum. He was too liberal on some things and good on others. One thing for sure, Bush & Co failed in the public relations department.

[Bahbah]

Axelrod trying to tell us that Barky was an enormous success with the NATO countries is going to give himself a hernia.

As an aside, I wish these people would stop using the word “embrace.” It’s so Oprahish.

[jackv]

Wow. An amazing man. I can’t stop crying.
Thank you for this story.
Shame on the media is right.

[mathluv]

At least Billy is OPENLY trying to sell something.
