I'm surprised no one mentioned this one back in March, where Obama snubbed and diplomatically humiliated British leader Gordon Brown.
Britain is just, you know, our closest ally and the most reliable friend the United States has.
If Barack Obama were a communist manchurian candidate sent to destroy America, I don't think he could be more dangerous to this country. By incompetence or by cunning design, either way he is doing great damage to our nation.

Come on, that's typical behavior for a TV anchor no matter who's President. Don't you remember all the times the press cautioned us not to make fun of President Bush when he had a mishap?

It's not unusual for a President to use one when talking to reporters. Since it was held in an elementary school I suppose some conservative are trying to pass it off that he needed one to talk to kids. I hope we can agree that's being overly silly.

This morning the President and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan paid a visit to Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia where they had a chat with about 30 6th grade students.
What the Obama School Teleprompter Photos Show Steve Pendlebury Editor (Jan. 25) -- President Barack Obama needs a teleprompter even when he's talking to children.
Conservative bloggers are gleefully spreading this story, saying photos prove their claim that Obama always needs a script.
A few examples:

It's red meat for the president's critics. The only problem is, it's not true.
Here's what is true. Obama did bring teleprompters along for his Jan. 19 visit to Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va. They were set up in a classroom where the president made a statement to reporters about expanding his Race to the Top program to improve schools. That happened after he chatted with the sixth-graders in a separate classroom -- with no teleprompters.

Oh, okay. The liberal blogger is contradicting what I took off the official White House web site. So I guess we should all believe what the liberal blogger wrote.
I don't see this so much as Jon Stewart mocking Obama as it is his own form of damage control. Everyone knows he's liberal, and so now he has to make great strides to divorce his own image from Obama's due to his his current drought of popularity. If Obama were still wildly popular after pulling the exact same shit, there is no doubt in my mind that he would leave Obama alone.

And what is with the name calling? We've dissagreed before but you used to be able to seperate that and not resort to [that]. Life can't be that awful for you to go there is it?
If you hadn't attacked first I wouldn't have responded in a like manner G-man. Do you feel that you should be able to lie and name call without some of it being returned?
