Katie Couric may be best known for her unflattering interview with Sarah Palin. But her nightly news broadcast this past Monday night may be an indicator that the big liberal media are now turning their guns on Obama.
Couric said on “CBS Evening News” that Americans are growing “disenchanted” with Obama and are openly questioning his credibility.
“Is the honeymoon over?” anchor Couric said at the beginning of her correspondent’s report.
“Although President Obama has been in office less than a year, many Americans are growing disenchanted with his handling of the enormous problems he and the country are facing, from healthcare to unemployment to Afghanistan.
“His poll numbers are sliding, and at least one poll shows his job approval rating has fallen, for the first time, below 50 percent.”
Correspondent Chris Reid chimed in: “The president is getting battered on everything from the economy to foreign policy. Some polls show Americans are increasingly questioning his credibility.”
The report asserted that while Obama talks about dealing with unemployment, which is over 10 percent and expected to rise, he has developed “no new ideas” for dealing with the problem.

I’m esctatic...Thanks to Obama, I own GM!!!
OWWWWWW! the monkeys HURT when they fly out!
“he has developed “no new ideas” for dealing with the problem.”
Of course not! Do they think a doctor can heal a patient while simultaneously trying to kill that patient?!?!?!
Anyhoo, the "political" story of this week's issue was along the lines of "Why is Obama in bed with the banking system?". I didn't read it, but I skimmed it. Looked like a mildly critical piece.
More important - and what I did read - was the lead editorial from the Editor. A *Very* Critical piece on BO, I thought. Took him to task for not doing any of the things that he ran on, continuing many of Bush's policies, and not doing *enough* about Global Warming, "The Biggest Threat facing us".
Whatever. Hyperbole aside, I was very heartened by the fact that even the incredibly liberal RS is turning against this administration. And, we're not even a year into it, yet.
Coming from the SRM, it's probably a prelude to urging him to stick to his liberal ideals, and not compromise with those hicks from flyover-burg. Like when slick Willard blamed the 1994 loss of Congress on the Democrats not being liberal enough to shove socialized medicine down our throats, instead of anger that they even thought of such a thing, plus anger about the assault weapons ban.
Katie Couric Blasting OBAMA HUSSEIN is equivalent to the Day in Infamy that CRONKITE Blasted Lyndon Johnson and said the War in VietNam was LOST!
WONDERS NEVER CEASE!!
He was incompetent in all respects. And everyone should’ve had that pointed out, Katie.
You’re partially responsible for this mess by virtue of your irresponsibility.
You can keep your stock next to the hole in the doughnut.
You and the UAW!
Especially after a colon cam -
Watch it. That's the core of Obama's new health system!
Hey Couric, ask Obama for his BC.
“many Americans are growing disenchanted with his handling of the enormous problems he and the country are facing”
Translation—it’s Bush’s fault.
We are making a difference.
Will it be enough and will it be in time?
Just CYA, so the media types like couric aren’t held accountable for getting the one elected.
But Obama accepted your friend request on Facebook.
That means he’s cool, doesn’t it?
Even those who blame the problem on Bush are asking where are Obama’s solutions. *snicker*
