A Year Of Obama: Top Ten Highs And Lows Of The Last Twelve Months

Jackass!

Later that same week, in what began to feel like a series of outbursts that kept derailing Obama’s great media plan to talk Health Care, ABC’s Terry Moran twittered an ‘off the record’ remark by the President in which he referred to Kanye West as a ‘jackass’ for his treatment of Taylor Swift at the previous night’s MTV Video Awards. Eventually the video reached the public, making the whole incident just that much less shocking.

We need a change to the Constitution that allows for a referendom on the quality of an administration after the first year.
It would allow a choice. Pick one in each section.
The President is doing a great job, lets keep him……………….___
Oh crap, what have we done. We need a do over………………..___

Congress is doing a great job, Let’s keep them as is…………___
Who elected those morons? Let’s switch party’s in
every district, nationwide. Let’s hold a lottery, any adult
citizen can buy a ticket (max 5 tickets per adult)…………………..___

9 Months… and what has been accomplished. A dead fly, beer, and a failed attack on FNC. A few good speeches, an (admittedly) undeserved award, and some legislation that probably won’t make it to law.

Woo-hoo????

Well… Bush didn’t have the same kind of situation when he took office, now did he? No wars, no recession, etc. Additionally, by this time, 9-11 had already happened, and we were in Afghanistan… Bush’s approval numbers were way high.

But more importantly… does it matter? I thought Obama was elected to be BETTER than Bush… not to be equal to? Why would you want to compare them, to show how parallel they are? What does that prove?

Stephen Colbert: ‘Sarah Palin is a F***king Retard’

10:06 am, Tuesday

The usually reliable Keith Olbermann's inability to nail Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin on Limbaugh's use of the term "retard" has been pretty frustrating. Sure, he has posited Palin as a hypocrite, but several times he has repeated Rush's and Palin's dueling assertions that he was "quoting" Rahm Emanuel, or that he was being "satirical," without really challenging it. Luckily, Stephen Colbert actually knows what the word "satire" means, and deployed a pile of it on Palin and Rush last night.

Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart Fail to Eviscerate Sarah Palin

9:12 am, Tuesday

Hyperbole must be over. How else does one explain the extremely disappointing bits that Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann did on Sarah Palin last night? Handed (thank you, I'm here all week) 3 days of Palin material that rivaled anything George W. Bush ever gave them, Olbermann could barely manage a molecule of spittle, let alone a lather, and Stewart deployed his seldom-used Nerf™ jokes.
