lost_in_this_world Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 well as long as people are obsessed with him and keep treating him as God it will never end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 All it takes is a scandal that a reporter wants to make his bones with, or a some kind of Katrina fiasco that falls at his feet. It's only 4 months until hurricane season, and 2 months until tornado season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 I know the media builds people up only to tear them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galloglasses' Alt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'd actually give it 3-5 weeks more then 3-6 months. He's already showing signs of slipping with regards to 'openness', lets see how he handles the oncoming weeks. I have a feeling the political stormfront will cool down for the moment.

Saint Therese Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 i saw today that his approval ratings were slipping a few points. I wonder when they'll start asking him hard questions? I for one can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 [quote name='Saint Therese' post='1770149' date='Feb 2 2009, 07:59 PM']Input please![/quote] What is the media love affair? Does it include Fox? Hannity? Talk Radio in general? How about the numerous right wing newspapers? I just saw a CNN piece criticizing Obama for his Cabnit position picks, just to mention that.

He's very like FDR in this respect. I think he's very strategic. -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 I don't think so. I think he's in for a very rude awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems pretty smart regarding this kind of thing, but obviously anyone is subject to the whims of the media. -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidei Defensor Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Seeing as the media has never reported on anyone named "O'bama," I contend that it never started and will thus never end. Obama, on the other hand... I don't see a love affair. Just because they like the man doesn't mean they're in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Actually the topic of the thread is the media love affair with President Hussein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the media is in love with anyone, I think the media loves newsworthy items-like the first black president. I'm sure they'll be just as quick to crucify him when it suits their needs, just like they did with Clinton. Again, though, what's up with the "O'bama" thing? I'm just curious. -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 +J.M.J.+ stop hijacking people's threads and turning them lame. (not just directed at Hassan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
