"I’m going to answer this question about the beard. I think it was a mistake for him to get rid of it. I thought that whole western, rugged look was really working for him."

I love watching little liberals whine :).
Fox gets better ratings than CNN (by far) because they are by far the better and fairer network. When FOX first came on, who do you think were their first major group of viewers? Ex-CNN viewers, sick of CNN’s nonsense and looking for a fair alternative. The only reason little libs hate Fox News so much is because they are pissed off that FOX doesn’t kiss their liberal asses like CNN and MSNBC do, and that people have gone to FOX over their choice. Even the one decent anchor at CNN, Bernard Shaw, saw a huge sinking ship at CNN and was smart and got the hell put of there!
So keep on whining, little libs – you are amusing to no end – you keep watching your little CNN and millions of others with actual brains will get their news from a real network.

What did Obama say? I wish the newspapers would print all of his ‘ems, uhg’s, ‘ums. Some fifth grader give this boy a script so the rest of the world can stay awake with his uncertain speaking. Its been noted that if you speak and use many ‘ums, ‘ems etc. that it means you are not confident in what you are saying (in some cases lying).

I get so sick of Breitbart constantly putting their own twist on every little event. As a news source, Breitbart sucks. It is even more slanted and biased than Fox. I rarely bring these clips up anymore, and this will probably be the last one for me.
Obama is personable, likable, capable, extremely intelligent, and he looks like he will be 100% better at leading us than the dunce that you people voted in the last two times.

@Arjuna9:
“I get so sick of Breitbart constantly putting their own twist on every little event. As a news source, Breitbart sucks. It is even more slanted and biased than Fox. I rarely bring these clips up anymore, and this will probably be the last one for me.”
“To succeed, a talk show host must perpetuate the notion that his or her listeners are victims, and the host is the vehicle by which they can become empowered,…”
Of course, conservative exploitation media is getting pretty old and warn out. With the election over, they are just sounding like anti-American traitors now.
Real Americans are just that. Their party may have won or lost, but their heart is “always” for their country.
Of course, it is easy to tell them to “love it or leave it” when ‘your’ guys are in office! :D
Steven's Math LessonDecember 3rd, 2008 - 3:42 pm
Steven,
If there is one single “conservative” news outlet, and multiple “liberal” news outlets, as the republicans continue to cry about, then simple algebra (I’ll assume that you are from a red state and dropped out of school before taking algebra) tells us that with a relatively even split of the population between cons/libs, the outlet without competition will win. It is kind of like how Cheney gave all of our money to his own company Halliburton…lack of competition.
PUBLIUSDecember 3rd, 2008 - 3:52 pm
Steve,
Succinct and to the point!
Of course Steve’s Math lesson is the attitude all Liberals have: I’m so brilliant, and you are stupid or at least inbred. However the brilliance in SML’s comments betrays a logic fallacy that can’t be overcome no matter how many times he tosses salads at the NYC Gay Pride Parade: The lack of competition is not the reason a conservative news channel does better than all the other liberal ones. If you calculate the total percentage of viewers, you will find many more watching than are represented solely by the conservative population. Liberals are commie scumbags and I hate them all. Go ahead and start with letting terrorists and Islam wreck havoc while you attempt to solve it with law enforcement. Jerk off losers.

I wonder if any fans of Obama’s supposed “eloquence” have actually ever bothered to listen to him answer a question spontaneously. This man can not speak.

Hey Rocket Surgeon, I don’t know you managed to ejacul, er calculate an algebric angle out of that, hmmm…let me use a blue state term here, gooblegook. Many v. One favors Many. Period. Here’s a blue state equation Many>One Lots>Fox= skew in info available to said voting public. Now, wasn’t that just a walk in the park?

To all of you armchair-political-semi-pro,”never ran, but I think I can” xperts; It has been said that “He with an experience is never at the mercy of him who has an argument”. To understand this requires some of you to do what appears to be difficult for you to do….Think.

What a great team of liars so far: Hilllary dodged bullets in Bosnia – NOT; Richardson drafted by the Kansas City Athletics 1966 – NOT; Biden wrote all his speeches – NOT.
Just makes you all tingly waiting for his next pick! He’s doing a bang up job! People we can really put our TRUST in!

Good grief.

“To all of you armchair-political-semi-pro,”never ran, but I think I can” xperts””
I open these links and see you bums bad mouth Obama. Let me spell it out for you, Obama is a democrat, he will chose democrats for his cabinet, most of the democrats with any experience were in Clinton’s whitehouse. Clinton ran a successful presidency so it makes sense that Obama would want to ‘hire’ many of those same people.
There, I wrote this in terms that even you dopes can understand….now, lay off Obama, he won, get to supporting him!
if you’re going to try to impugn obaba’s rhetorical prowess in the shadows of duh bush, you’re going to come off like bigger idiots than you do now.
how about our constitution?
how about that they are giving all of your money away?
how about over stressed under cared for military people?
this has become a nation of saggy diaper children.
the longer you continue this sour grapes soiree, the longer it’s going to be before you realize there is no red vs blue, there is only green.
fox, cnn, msnbc all lie
kill your television and actually DO something or shut the hell up and let’s just enjoy the ride down to “post america”.
Obama's jockstrapDecember 3rd, 2008 - 5:34 pm
You bimbo’s couldn’t carry Obama’s jockstrap.
Fox News? uh...noDecember 3rd, 2008 - 5:43 pm
So Obama finally called on Fox news. Big deal! The truly amazing thing is that they allow someone from Fox news to participate in this news event. Fox knows NOTHING about the news. They check with Bush’s whitehouse everyday just to see what they should talk about.
Obama's SpeechDecember 3rd, 2008 - 5:50 pm
OK… it’s a given that most of the comments on Breitbart are written by ignorant school drop-outs…. but SERIOUSLY: Criticizing Obama’s abilty to communicate? You can’t be serious.
Have you listened to the jack-h#le we’ve had since 2000? After 8 years, he still can’t pronounce the word “Nuclear” (which is scary, especially since he’s the guy with the Button) and he can’t even complete a sentence when he’s reading it from the teleprompter.
But it’s over now, they’ve raped and pillaged the US for 8 years and now Obama is left to clean up their fetid mess. God Bless him if he can do it. God Help us if he can’t.
But it will NEVER get better with all of the bitter partisan crap going around. If we don’t unify this country, and stop the bitter Conservative – Liberal name calling… we’ll all be working for Chinese Corporations in 10 years.
I agree with Obama's SpeechDecember 3rd, 2008 - 5:59 pm
Finally, an intelligent post. Thanks for pointing this out, I second your sentiments sir (or ma’am) we will never get better with all the bitter partisan crap going around.
Wise up people and get on board!
MattDecember 3rd, 2008 - 6:01 pm
They must have really worked Obama during the last 2 months of his campaign. The Uh Uh Uh’s were gone. THEY’RE BACK. Yes sirree, we get uh uh uhbama back. He sounds like an idiot without his teleprompter. The comics will have a field day, oh wait, they’re liberals. He’s ok, they’ll protect him.
Bush's SpeechDecember 3rd, 2008 - 6:13 pm
Let’s see… it was a complex question with a complicated answer. I’ll alow him ums and ahs, because, as you learn in Intro Psychology, that’s not a sign of intelligence or lack thereof.
Here is how the current ppresident might have answered the same question:
Bush: (with a goofy “deer in the headlights” expression) “It’s gonna be hard. Times are tough. We… we … we … our enemies want us to fail! We need to support Americans. It’s gonnna be tough. Er… What was the question again?”
At least Obama tried to be specific, concise and he answered the question. That was a refreshing change.
Jon17December 3rd, 2008 - 6:17 pm
So Obama is done punishing Fox News because they were the ONLY one that told the truth about him. Shame Shame Shame, now he will just have to go back to the Fairness Doctrine that mouseface Nancy Peolosi wants to do and pretend he has nothing against Fox.
SigmondDecember 3rd, 2008 - 6:24 pm
Wasn’t that a nice touch by Bill Richardson to speak in Spanish at the press conference? That should really piss off the Asian Americans, who are already PO’d at him.
HitlerDecember 3rd, 2008 - 6:25 pm
How many times is this guy going to stutter and stumble? He is just as bad as Bush.
Hey Jealous Idiots!!!December 3rd, 2008 - 6:57 pm
Hey Jealous Idiots! Thank you for pointing out a very important aspect of both the Clinton Administration and the future DUHBAMA Administration, they could only find the same democrat morons as the last time to run things. Not a very big talent/gene pool over there in the democrats party tent?
DUHBAMA will make Bush look like a genius in less than a year. As for coming together to support the country’s future, you sorry a** libs want to give it all to the UN or Islam rather than get your nose bloodied in what this is really all about. Talk about IDIOTS!
SigmondDecember 3rd, 2008 - 7:03 pm
“Here is how the current president might have answered the same question:”
Obama hems and haws when answering questions because he doesn’t have answers. Probably due to his lack of real world experience.
grikDecember 3rd, 2008 - 7:23 pm
Fox News. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Getting it straightDecember 3rd, 2008 - 7:31 pm
Fox is not news. It’s a joke where people who choose not to think for themselves go to get words to spew because it’s easier than doing any thinking.
Breitbart $hit stirsDecember 3rd, 2008 - 8:45 pm
Breitbart is a piece of crap just like Fox. Trying to make a story where there is none.
Farse-err-LarseDecember 3rd, 2008 - 8:46 pm
Larse – Posting a link to a article that fits ones need/agenda from some 20 something journo (oh – they know soooo much – experts on everthing – some buddy source tels em)isn’t goin to convince anyone other than your a useful idiot ;)
GoldilocksDecember 3rd, 2008 - 9:08 pm
Those of you who sound as if you have swallowed lemon balls for breakfast really do need to get a new gig.
Your sorry assed criticisms of Obama and everyone else Fox or Breit Bart rags on really do show you for what you are. Unhappy, illtempered, and undereducated misanthropes whose only joy in life seems to be sucking the life out of everything good and decent. Do yourselves and the rest of us a favor and go crawl back into the cave you lurched out of.
here here GoldilocksDecember 3rd, 2008 - 9:14 pm
I could not agree more with Goldilocks. Breitbart & Fox fools!
Greg MDecember 3rd, 2008 - 10:58 pm
Goldilocks, I neither lurched nor crawled out of a cave to answer your partisan statement, which by the way, makes you appear to be nothing better than a typical liberal who believes in their elitist mind they are better than others.
My new ‘gig’ as you put it, is to insure your empty suit is spotted and reported on for every 360, 180 and spin out he manages to put on display to the American people. He is so bound to those who put his unqualified backside in office, he will be pulled like taffey by those behind him.
I figure it is our right as citizens, regardless of how you describe us, to point out his shortcomings in the same vein that your side has employed for the last eight years – in particular for the last two. You have been unrelenting, seditious, undermining, intractable, ineffective, and tumescent when needed at best. It will be extremely comical to watch the 360’s, 180’s and spin outs of this slow-motion auto wreck as it happens. A sad, but amusing wreck to be sure as we watch it unfold before our eyes.
We will be watching, you have no excuses. Shoot your blanks, they have no sting because we tried to warn you before your mistake and we realize these are the coments from a frustrated Obummer voter who is just now begining to realize their screwup.
I will give your guy the same amount of respect your side has afforded the Bush administration for the past eight years. I would think that is only fair and balanced, wouldn’t you.
In the meantime, for those who want to be prepared for the future look here and join the group:
“Of course, conservative exploitation media is getting pretty old and warn out. With the election over, they are just sounding like anti-American traitors now.
Real Americans are just that. Their party may have won or lost, but their heart is “always” for their country.”
Two points: being a Democrat and claiming to be pro-America is just laughable, I won’t even get into that. Think of what your party stands for: closing Gitmo, civil rights for terrorists, no Patriot Act…it goes on and on.
But regarding the person that won the election? I intend to treat him with the same respect you on the left treated President Bush during the past 8 years.
di butlerDecember 5th, 2008 - 2:11 am
This is so laughable! A bunch of people trying to inpugn Breitbart, if you don’t like them, why do you click on their site, and bother to post? And for the comments from Arjuna9, and others, I am curious, Obama is smart, because he is Harvard educated, correct? so, going by that logic, George Bush, who also attended Harvard, and Yale, would be, also? Or, no, becuase you don’t like him? And I like the assumption that anyone that is a conservative is from the south, and didn’t finish high school. let’s see, I have a degree from Harvard Business school, am conservative, and live in the South. And you? The best part of all is none of you got the reason for the clip being posted. It was to highlight the very uncomfortable joke that Mr. Obama made. It was very weird, and not very manly. So what? It was funny, now it’s over. As for Fox News, I don’t watch much television, but I saw recently where several non-partisan oranizations have conducted research showing that Fox News is the most balanced of all stations on television. I don’t watch much television, but the times I have, I can see that seems true. Perhaps you should actually read up on things before you post on them and then insult people’s intelligence….these posts seem to have been written by children.
Hallelujah, the Embargo by The One has been lifted.
Evil Fox has finally paid for its transgressions. Of course, they get better ratings than CNN.
Hosanna Obama!
