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.

    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’

    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

    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.
