Hey, what a surprise, an editorial from a Murdoch-owned News Corp paper showing Obama in a bad light!

I've been trying to explain this to my parents for a while now. Obama isn't Jesus. He's just a guy that the media loves.

Though it makes sense that they can only do this with Democrats. People get excited about change whereas the very definition of a conservative is the opposite of that. You can support it, but its kinda hard toget caught up in an irrational frenzy.

Boo hoo, for once a lefty just couldnt take how the media concocts narratives so he decided to talk about it.


and hasnt SNL talked about how the media fawns over obama. And obama used the words himself that editorialists wrote "anguished stories" about how Obama couldnt put the election away sooner.

Obama wins in November, and we all drown in the tears of right-leaning internet posters everywhere.

If you were as hard on posters who post links to Huffington blog or other left leaning sources I would have agreed with yout. But its a shame.

99.9% of movies with a President character, they never mention his party. Thinking about it, I can't name one!

Bill Paxton, Independance Day, which was he?

That guy, X-Men, which was he?

Shit, the Eddie Murphy movie where he becomes a congressman, they never mention any political party at all!
