If Wacky’s methods make us safer (as he claims), why don’t we feel safer?

a) Is it because North Korea for the first time has become emboldened enough to threaten Hawaii with nuclear attack.

b) Is it because AlQueda(?) is threatening to fire Pakistan’s nuclear weapons at us.

c) Is it because President 2 Year Old goes over to Saudi Arabia and bows to the murdering sultan. (And tries to cover it up with some garbage BS about the guy being shorter)

d) Is it because he laughs uproariously when a reporter expresses the opinion that some Americans think his policies might be “treacherous.”

e) Is it because he uses a taxpayer 747 for Democrat photo ops and trips to St. Louis for pizza.

f) Is it Acorn, birth certificate, Preacher GD America, Bill Ayers?

I wouldn’t trust this jerk to buy me a hot dog at the ball game (he might put “Dijon” mustard on it)

Well, people are starting to catch on. As of yesterday his Presidential Approval Index is now racking up negative numbers.

Yet another example of this scrawny CBS creep trying to spread lies about Bush.he does it every day. he never fought for anything in his punk life..he just tries to get away with any lie he can think of to support his Immoral Leftist lifestyle.
And Obama used this to make it look like he is a good guy., But the truth is BUSH is right about Obama’s actions or lack of actions on everything he has done since he because President.

Perfect R.J., you sure know how to stay on topic and respond to a video!

Obama, who I don’t support but don’t hate, didn’t get to finish his statement about what Bush said. CBS and all other networks on TV, cable, print and radio are doing all of us a terrible disservice by stretching the truth just enough to keep it on a level of nut-cases. I wonder if responsible news reporting will ever return to the US. Still Obama seems very pragmatic and logically cautious when talking to the press. I don’t blame him.

Can our news media possibly suck any more?

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   June 22nd, 2009 - 7:20 pm

America…this grieves me to say this because I voted for George W Bush and George H Bush…but both of these men are in bed with the Bilderberg Society!

It was from the lips of George H Bush on the floor of the Senate where we first heard the words the “New World Order”!

It is no wonder, that now, Bilderberg Bush-Obama comes to “his” defense!

George W Bush did the initial laying down of events in his term(s) that has allowed Bilderberg Bush-Obama the popularity he is enjoying!

George W Bush took the pipe for Bilderberg…so to speak!

I just don’t understand what these men think they will get from this treachery against America and it’s people!

Harry Smith-Obama is a complete cheerleader for the Big Zero. Soon he’ll be carrying Barry’s love child. Are there any journalist’s left?

Larse   June 22nd, 2009 - 7:31 pm

Obama caught Harry off guard on the facts. Sweet!!! :D :D

Obama may have been born in Kenya, but he wasn’t born yesterday :D :D :D

Anne   June 22nd, 2009 - 8:01 pm

Obama – created in the image of the press!!

You know it’s bad when the Big Zero has to correct them himself on camera for lying in his name. That should send the leftists into a frenzy.

You are right, RJ. They should have to wear a jumpsuit with their corporate sponsorship showing for all to see. Most of them would be in orange jumpsuits if the law were enforced for them like it is for us.

mary M.   June 22nd, 2009 - 8:26 pm

CBS, what can I say? I know. Your entity has sunk to an all time low. For goodness sake, you are suppose to be a journalist Mr. Smith. Does that mean anything anymore to your profession? Is this truly what your profession has become. Possibly, this is what it has always been. Everyone knows that you cannot be objective with words. Objectivity lies with science and your profession is not a science. It only pretends to be science.

Sundowner   June 22nd, 2009 - 9:34 pm

Notice once again how the accusation gets put there like some twisted good cop/bad cop routine then the empty suit gets to correct the buffoon looking like an upstanding gent when it could have all been cut out of the loop on the editing room floor like so much of Sarah Palin’s interview. The message got out to the brain dead masses that they wanted them to hear….so easy to figure you morons out on the left how you’ve been so indoctrinated into being sheep.

TruthTeller   June 22nd, 2009 - 10:22 pm

Jeez- what a stupid dumbazz…

Bush/Cheney Policies:

Take the fight DIRECTLY to the terrorists;
Never, Never compromise when the safety of the American people is at stake;
Understand that Islamic Fundamentalism wants EVERY non-believer dead;
Stand strong, believe in America, salute the flag so many have died defending;

Obama Policies:

Bow to the Saudi King;
Support the murders in Iran:
Appease the terrorists whenever and wherever possible;
Hamstring, foil, and negate all the EFFECTIVE things Bush/Cheney did to keep the USA safe;
Obfuscate every issue (especially this one) with empty, high-sounding rhetoric as much as possible;

Obama is a national disgrace, perhaps the worst “president” we’ve ever seen, and what’s worse, a grave danger to this nation and it’s safety and security…

Rickles on Obama

As for President Obama, what can I say? They say President Obama’s arrogant and aloof, but I don’t agree. Now it’s true when you enter the room, you have to kiss his ring. I don’t mind, but he has it in his back pocket. His mind is open to new ideas — so open that ideas simply pass through it. Obama lies so much, I was actually surprised to find out his first name really was Barack. Just don’t ask about his middle name! But Obama was able to set a record… he actually lied more in 60 days than Bill Clinton. As far as his administration — what with the tax cheat and lobbyists — well, in the words of Patches O’Houlihan, “It’s like watching a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob out there.”

Obama wasn’t defending Bush – he was defending himself.

Pat from Texas   June 23rd, 2009 - 2:58 am

Obama wasn’t defending Bush – he was defending himself. If he admitted that Bush really meant all those “nasty” things, he’d have to admit the possibility that where there is smoke, there is fire.

SMACK! Right in the middle of that conniving agenda-filled bald head, and worse still, by the very Messiah that the bald man worships! That HAD to hurt, and exposed for all to see!! Obama just went up a notch in my book for HAVING to begin to expose the agenda of these pathetic political journalism dilettantes! It;s even become too much for Obama to have to bask anymore in the glow these lackeys create for him every step of the way! Now if Obama could just go over to MSNBC and correct them on every single sentence and remove all of the clowns who masquerade as newspeople there, he might do honest journalism a favor! But putting this clever clogs in his place with that head smack is a good start! Nice one!

@Pat from Texas

Defending himself – You got it!

Can't Spell CBS without BS!   June 23rd, 2009 - 3:12 am

That hack reporter probably went home to his million dollar house in Connecticut, or wherever you’re “supposed” to live in that echelon, and beat up his Ivy League-educated wife and perfect cookie cutter kids after that embarrassment. You could see the pain in his face, caught with his sycophantic pants down! Hey, maybe do something new and report the truth next time, Squeezix! Look up the word “truth” first, of course, you might need a foreign dictionary!

CommonSense   June 23rd, 2009 - 9:40 am

The Messiah’s rear end must be getting too chapped with all the kisses – it’s too tender for such a smooch from the likes of CBS

Obama-derangement syndrome is working overtime on this site!

Matt   June 23rd, 2009 - 3:41 pm

You know, for all I dislike about Obama, I have to give him this one. The so-called reporter threw him a high visibility orange slow pitch softball to hit. Obama took the pitch and didn’t swing. In this day and age of the visceral attack at any time, on every opportunity by the left, I had expected Obama to jump all over it. He didn’t.

I didn’t know he had that amount of respect for the office. I also realize he realizes the position he sits is very easy to second-guess by the bleacher crowd, but it is a different ball game when you’re on the hotseat.

Welcome to the real world there Mr. College professor. This isn’t theory, it is practice.

Elections have consequences….this man is in the White House thanks to ACORN,Unions,and stupid people who have no business in a voting booth…ACORN is getting a few billion in payback…Union labor is getting a car company and tax exempt from healthcare benefits as payback…and the dumbed down masses have there “change you can believe in” hero….its not what he says that counts…its how he says it….recent polls have found that there are way more people who consider themselves conservative than liberal…Obama got over 80% of the Jewish vote…yet he leaves Isreal on its own…figure that one out….I can’t.
