mnealtx 0 #26 June 24, 2009 It's "The Obama Show"!! Hit link for the full article. Wasn't "media plants" one of the things the libs were accusing Bush of? QuoteStay Tuned for More of 'The Obama Show' By Dana Milbank Wednesday, June 24, 2009 In his first daytime news conference yesterday, President Obama preempted "All My Children," "Days of Our Lives" and "The Young and the Restless." But the soap viewers shouldn't have been disappointed: The president had arranged some prepackaged entertainment for them. After the obligatory first question from the Associated Press, Obama treated the overflowing White House briefing room to a surprise. "I know Nico Pitney is here from the Huffington Post," he announced. Obama knew this because White House aides had called Pitney the day before to invite him, and they had escorted him into the room. They told him the president was likely to call on him, with the understanding that he would ask a question about Iran that had been submitted online by an Iranian. "I know that there may actually be questions from people in Iran who are communicating through the Internet," Obama went on. "Do you have a question?" Pitney recognized his prompt. "That's right," he said, standing in the aisle and wearing a temporary White House press pass. "I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you a question directly from an Iranian." Pitney asked his arranged question. Reporters looked at one another in amazement at the stagecraft they were witnessing. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel grinned at the surprised TV correspondents in the first row. The use of planted questioners is a no-no at presidential news conferences, because it sends a message to the world -- Iran included -- that the American press isn't as free as advertised. But yesterday wasn't so much a news conference as it was a taping of a new daytime drama, "The Obama Show." Missed yesterday's show? Don't worry: On Wednesday, ABC News will be broadcasting "Good Morning America" from the South Lawn (guest stars: the president and first lady), "World News Tonight" from the Blue Room, and a prime-time feature with Obama from the East Room.

LOL I can see this so clearly - with the old soundtrack of Howdy Doody - Give obama a vest and a cowboy hat - He's already a puppet - Now ABC gets to pull the strings It's Howdy Doody TIME . . . It's Howdy Doody Time - or is it more like Chucky where the puppet comes alive as a psychotic?. killing all that is good.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makeithappen40 0 #34 June 25, 2009 Y'know, I think it was wrong wrong wrong for Bush to have involved us in two wars. I mean, think of the cost! We could easily be spending more money unnecessarily. Hell, what is the record for number of wars involved in within one term of presidency? Two? Maybe Obama can beat that record. Cmon nationalism, lets get this party started baby!

It just shows that you found a picture of a guy washing a car in a rainstorm. Well done. I'm not sure I could find a picture of a guy washing a car in a rainstorm that is as good as that one.

I never said that you FIRST mentioned funding in this topic either. I started with a caricature (your gonna like that word, Tom!) to have a little fun. You broadened the issue to other kinds of unnecessary funding. I don't really care if you use that. Discretionary funding that neither of us had said we preferred (ever) is applicable here. Are you done HERE? You have been doing a great job of bleeding threads dry. (Mothafucka.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
