What we should really be worried about is not some stupid movie, but where the country is going. I'll leave it at that because there have already been enough discussions of whether it's going in the right direction or not. Time will tell, not some stupid movie.

Indeed he looked like he knew exactly what he was doing and exactly what people wanted to hear.

Wether or not it was true is irrelevant.

Whoa, somebody's calling Obama unqualified in a thread about a Palin apologist movie? I know hypocrisy is a natural part of politics, but that's a bit too far for my taste.

Hey at least the 'ONE' can belt out a great speech (provided the telepromter is on). The last POTUS could barely string two words together.

Speaking ability is definitely important for a POTUS. Then again the media does seem to give President Obama a pass on stuff they'd have ripped Bush about.

Correction: the majority of the country APPROVES of Obama...

...which is pretty typical for ANY president during their first few months in office. Doesn't really mean squat. In fact, Obama's approval isn't even an all-time high for a president in their first February. He's in a 3-way tie with Reagan and Eisenhower ... for 4th.

A got a little supprise for you Obama's approval rating (for the first 30 days) is actually lower than that of GWB's.

It is not a Palin apologist movie. It is a movie about how the media was / is in the tank for the chosen one and helped to shape public opinion by doing so.

Sorry, but it always just feels like sour grapes with you Demon. Hell, he had the Republicans on their feet and Fox News saying that the Republican response was "childish" and weak tonight. The majority of the country feels Obama is doing a great job. There are obviously those few that would prefer he wasn't, and that's fine. Democracy and all that....

All things considered, I think Barry O is doing fine. He is still under the thumb of the old Washington way of doing things and this is the dirt he needs to shake off. We see the old Washington way with the latest stimulus bill of things that just do not add up for stimulating anything.

Anyway, this movie is about the media and how it has the ability to drive things in certain directions. In this case, the media was in the bag for Barry O.

I don't think he's doing fine at all, Well of course ther than putting up a pretty sounding speech. So far he's doubling deficits after complaining loudly about deficits. He's closing Gitmo with no viable plan in sight for terror detainees in place. He's on the way to slashing our military budget in a time of war. He's drawing up plans to reduce our nuclear deterrent to 1,000 warheads or less(absolutely dangerous). So far his "stimulus" plan is really a welfare and redistribution plan. We know what "tax cuts to 95%" actually means. Even though Democrat drones have no idea what it means. His message is also never consistent from day to day. That's why I say, he's totally out of his league. I watched his speech and other than sounding nice, it had no real substance.

B. Hussein Obama's speech worked only for those who are believers in big government. It was bent towards those focused on class envy and think government can do no wrong while private businesses are the focus of all evil. Even while government actually produces nothing, builds no wealth, and is dependant on private incomes to sustain it. It was actually quite predictable. Obama and Democrats like him believe America is great because of government. Not because of individuals pursuing their lives under a system of economic liberty and law. That was indicative of his speech. This guy actually sounded like a true demagogue. Nowhere in his speech did he mention the true role that government played that helped lead to this mess. And he is proposing the same activity that created the trouble as a remedy to fix it. :doh: Absolutely stupid. And the idiots who bought the "Change we can believe in" crap cannot even see it.

Why not just start copy/pasting?

-Democrats are stupid and do not think for themselves.

-B. Hussein Obama, blah blah blah

-Drones

-And the overall idea that you are smarter than the majority of the country.

Every post is the same. I'm just saying, why not save yourself some time?

You'd think we were talking about a President at the end of his term. A MONTH into this administration, and your mind is made up. To me it suggests that if Obama fixed the economy, cured cancer and made great strides in foreign policy you would still have a complete disdain for the man, his party, and anyone that believes in him. You wouldn't be alone, of course. The fringe is not an empty place....

Ok so it's a documentary from the sounds of it.

Funny how the left wing can pump these out like welfare babys and few bat an eye. But something with conservative views comes to light and holy frack the bleeding hearts crawl out of the woodwork.


This may be a bit off topic but I believe the U.S. would be a much better place if people would stop kissing hollywood @ss.

Read a bit closer...first line...."all things considered" It is very screwed up out there and for a guy like me, who is 3 years younger than Barry O, would not even know were to start. Barry O is on ground that has not been walked on in years if at all. Currently he is being led around by the nose. He needs to get his spine and shake off old Washington. Just like past presidents, they too made stupid quick decisions. Barry O is allowed his. Either he is a puppet or he gets hair on his kiwis and starts running the place.

Sorry, this is nonsense. Moore, for example. The right hates him with vitriol. I'm personally in the camp that thinks Moore's movies hold an insane bias, and that they suck. "few bat an eye"?

Lets see....

Moore has had at least 2 films made entirely for the purpose of attacking him pesonally. One entitled "Mike Moore Hates Amercia". Ray Bradbury took Moore to court for using the title "Fahrenheit 9/11". He has been sued by veterans of Iraq, he has been investigated b the Office of Foreign Assets Control, has been publicly taken to the woodhouse by elected officials, TV talking heads and the creators of Southpark.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying Moore didn;t deserve any of the above. Lets just not pretend that when liberal film makers mak a film, "few bat an eye".:doh:

And so the hero worship with no substance sounds all the same to me. Yes, the first month of this guy has been a complete flop. And a first impression is an important thing. If this guy was actually going in the right direction, I would give him credit. But he's disincentivizing taking capital risks in a free market and expanding businesses. He talks, the markets hate it. Hard to grow jobs in such an environment. Yes, this guy is very unqualified.

Tell me Enigma. What business has Obama run? When has he ever met a payroll? How many jobs has your hero actually grown in our economy? Where has he actually served in an executive capacity? What makes him capable of leading a military? He never served in any capacity. Do you think it's such a great idea to reduce our nuclear deterrent to 1,000 or less warheads? What is nuclear deterrence and what has been it's role in keeping the peace for the last 60 or so years? Do you know what capital risk is? Do you know what disposable income is? Do you understand how inflation is created and how it impacts an economy like ours? Did you listen to B. Hussein Obama last night.....and actuaslly hear what he said? Did you comprehend it? Yes, I think most of those who voted for this guy did so not understanding any of this. It's clear that many were caught up in hero worship, blatant economic ignorance, and class envy as a means to vote for somebody so dangerously unqualified to be the POTUS. Perhaps you were one of those.

Seriously, if you understand anything about how incentive, economic growth and true national security works....you could never vote for somebody like this. Almost everything this guy talks about in principle and planning is antithetical to all of this. Even though it sounds pretty and sounds "fair".
