Even some of the new shows seem like reruns.

Well, at least Skywalker stay and fight the phonies.

I see the “West Wing PR Machine” is alive and well in 2011!

Fact: That’s got to be one of the best post I’d ever read. Very nice Lib feels like November 2nd all over again!

Nice try, Stewart. Everybody knows that Obama is like… aw heck. Obama isn’t worthy of being compared to any Star Wars character. Obama is a joke so stop kissing up to him.

Hmmm. Obama’s approval rating according to Gallup is now at 50%.

ES on that you filthy little AHs.

I didn’t know that Luke Skywalker presided over a national debt that became $14 trillion, or a deficit that was $1.3 trillion.

Well, those of us with a brain (meaning conservatives) called this weeks ago and the media is following to a T, as usual. We said the meme of the New Year would be, “barack, the comeback kid”. I really enjoy it when Rush puts together a montage of the media using the exact SAME language. The media in this country has become a joke and the folks know it.

Come on, the right fully controls talk radio, and virtually owns FOX News. So to say that the media has become a joke is to either be out of touch with current reality, or must include Rush and FOX in the joke (which is probably more accurate.)

I stand corrected, Val, I should have said, the media EXCEPT for FOX has become a joke.

Hey, you libs slamming Republican’s that are against raising the debt ceiling, this is what Luke Skywalker said about it in 2006:

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

It is the opportunity for TEABAGGERS to rectify the wrong that they feel was done to them when the banks and auto industry was bailed out. They should back up the bellicose rhetoric by doing it.

However, the reality is that the rich donors who secretly funded their campaigns are going to be opposed to causing instability in the financial markets. But since the angry rhetoric plays well with RW dirtbags in comment sections, they will continue saying it publicly while privately telling their rich supporters they will increase it.

Here is the whole speech that Obama, then Senator Obama, read from a piece of paper on Jan 2006. Is he now a hypocrite? Of course he is. Are there Neocons and “conservatives” that are hypocrites? Of course. These guys are freakin crooks.

Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.

Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.

And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.

Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities.

Well the reality is both groups get a rather significant amount of $ from donors. For example:
-Finance, Insurance and Real Estate Pacs handed out $57 million to politicians. 48% went to Dems, 52 to Repubs.
-Health Care Professionals handed out $48.6 million. 56% to Dems, 43% to Repubs.
-Lawyers and lobbyists handed out $14 million. 71% went to Dems.
-Labor Unions handed out $56 million. 94% went to Dems
-Agriculture handed out $20 million. 51% went to Dems, 49% went to repubs.
-Energy and Natural Resource PACs handed out $25 million. 54% went to Repubs, 44% went to Dems
-Foreign connected PACs handed out $13.9 million. $7.2 million went to Dems, $6.6 million went to Repubs.

There was a little bit of media analysis from the montage of pundits declaring Obama “over” and then the commentators all calling him Bill Clinton, but though Stewart’s first segment has become the traditional first post of the day from this site, I actually think the second segment about “Happy Meals” would’ve been better trollbait.

Stewart should have declared Obama the new “Flip-Flopper” considering the reversal on his position regaridng tax cuts for the “rich,” in creasing the Debt ceiling, troops surges, war, and gitmo just to name a few.

…okay, maybe not “better” because the whole “hero” theme and the “Palin” reference will naturally boost comments and pageviews, but Aasif Mandvi’s focus on the San Francisco effort may have been a more unifying theme and would’ve opened the discussion to more than tits for tats and a regurgitation of talking points.

You should be happy that he is following in the footsteps of your hero W. The next thing he needs to make him more acceptable to you all is a letter R next to his name.

“W” was never my hero. He was nothing more than a big government/ open borders neocon. I didn’t like the fact that he increased the size of government, increased the debt, didn’t like the Patriot Act, didn’t like his amnesty scam and didn’t like “No Child Left Behind” or TARP.

I’m not a partisan hack Skyfet. I call ‘em as I see ‘em and Obama is pretty much the same as Bu$h. Bush was no Constitutional Conservative, and he didn’t have libertarian leanings.

That’s where your’re wrong. I liked alot of things about Bush, but he also drove me crazy on issues of spending and immigration. We’ve said it repeatedely, you just choose to ignore it.

Just occurred to me this is the second time that Obama has been compared to a sci-fi character, last time it was Spock. Yahoo! search ‘Obama Spock’ and you’ll see. If he was a sci-fi character I’d compare him to a tribble, nothing but brainless fluff.

Yes, Bush was a moderate republican who cozied up to the conservative right in order to get elected. The conservative candidate, your candidate in 2000, was Buchanan. There were not enough conservatives to elect him, however.

Val says:

It’s not partisanship, it’s just being right. I guess they are one in the same in this case.

First off you don’t know who my candidate was or is. Second off, I would never have voted for Buchanan because of his support for policies that violate individual liberties.

Luke Skywalker? More like Anakin Skywalker, the “chosen one”. Or better yet Jar Jar Binks! I even think Jar Jar was a Senator in Episode 3…….but really, who cares?

That’s not fair. To the Modern Liberal/Progressive what is said at any point in time is fact, it’s important and we are supposed to heed, but it has a very short life expectancy as circumstances change. In other words, when a Modern Liberal/Progressive is presenting a point, you have to think of them as a sort of psychopathic – they believe it wholeheartedly AT THE TIME, but thye may have a very different angle on the very same subject at a later time and get mad if you mention their prior position.
