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

The War Against Fox News

Phew. It’s been a long nine months! NINE MONTHS. Sometimes it’s difficult to remember just how short a period of time Obama has been in the White House when you, say, regard today’s election coverage of three rather smallish races that in past election cycles would not have merited a blip (and yes I know Virginia is a battleground state, and NY-23 is considered by some to be a measure of whether the G.O.P. has completely gone off its rocker, but still!). Apparently the White House sussed out that we are now a country in need (want?) of continual campaign-like coverage because their declaration of ‘war’ on Fox News certainly successfully submerged the news cycle for the last three weeks. And voila! We have a sort of health care bill. Maybe in another nine months we’ll also have a sort of ecomony. Dare to dream audaciously! Below, Anita Dunn on Reliable Sources.

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?

Bret Baier Part II: Obama Opines On Iran, Israel And Tiger Woods

by Colby Hall | 7:05 pm, Wednesday

video

After serving over a year in office, Barack Obama finally sat down for an interview with Fox News today, when chatted in a for roughly 17 minutes in a pre-taped segment with Bret Baier. The sometimes combative tone of the interview stands in stark contrast to the "walk and talk" segment between Baier and Obama, likely recorded in advance of the actual sit-down taping. While walking in the halls of the White House, Obama addressed foreign policy issues like Israel and Iran, and even gave a rather forgiving opinion on Tiger Woods.
