Posted by Amarissa on february 8, 2009We are facing a major financial crisis, possible surprises on the world front and two endless wars and yet, thanks to a mayority of voters and a biased media, we have a President who does not seem fit to cope with most of these challenges.
Now that the 2008 fanfare is over, the media pundits have begun to put down their "selected" President. Maureen Dowd, one of his biggest koolaid drinker and fan had this to say: "On 9/11, President Bush learned of disaster while reading “The Pet Goat” to grade-school kids. On Tuesday, President Obama escaped from disaster by reading “The Moon Over Star” to grade-school kids".

Here's a list of other recent articles showing media displeasure with "The One":

It is very sad that our mediocre media did not vet this fiasco of a President when they were supposed to. Now they, as well as all of us, will have to live with his dysfunctional administrative behavior for the next four years!
If our press "reporters" (???) had read into some of the high alert warnings made by some, even inside Obamas own Democratic Party, instead of mocking them, maybe this fatal "Hopey-Changey"result could have been prevented. Fortunately for us, not everything coming from "Barry" has been bad. His decision to appoint Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State will probably be his one and only intelligent decision.
Here are some of those "high alert warnings" referred to in the above paragraph:
Barack Hussein Obama in 2004: "I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years . . . .I am a believer in knowing what you're doing when you apply for a job, and I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate. There may be some who are comfortable with doing that, but I'm not one of those people."
Biden at the National Press Club, Washington, DC, 8/1/07 on whether he would meet unconditionally with the leaders of Rogue States as Obama said he would: "Absolutely Positively No." "Would I make a blanket commitment to meet unconditionally with the leaders of each of those countries within the first year I was elected president? Absolutely positively no."
Biden on "The Diane Rehm Show," 8/2/07: "If the Democrats think we're going to be able to nominate someone who can win without that person being able to table unimpeachable credentials on national security and foreign policy, I think we're making a tragic mistake…"
ABC's George Stephanopoulos: "You were asked is he (Obama) ready. You said 'I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.'"
Sen. Biden: "I think that I stand by the statement." (ABC's, "This Week," 8/19/07)
Hillary Clinton on November 20, 2007: “I think we need a president with more experience than [Barack Obama]. Someone the rest of the world knows, looks up to and has confidence in.”
Hillary Clinton on November 20, 2007: "With all due respect, I don't think living in a foreign country between the ages of 6 and 10 is foreign policy experience, I think having the first hand experience with so many leaders that I have had over the last 15 years equips me to be a President who can start on day one."
Bill Clinton on 12/14/07: “When’s the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the senate before he started running?” "In theory, we could find someone who is a gifted television commentator and let them run. They'd have only one year less experience in national politics..."
Hillary Clinton on March 6, 2008: “When that phone rings, whether it’s 3pm or 3am, in the white house, there is no time for speeches or on-the-job training.”
Hillary Clinton on 03/08/08: “In this election we need a nominee who can pass the commander in chief test. Someone ready on day one to defend our country and keep our families safe. We need a President who passes that test. There is no time for speeches or on the job training. Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign, I will bring a lifetime of experience, and Senator Obama will bring a speech he gave in 2002…”
James Carville on May 2008: “Hillary is the tougher of the two, the candidate you want on your side in a knife fight, if she gave him one of her cojones, they'd both have two."
