Jack & Jill Politics

Jack, good job, you made some great points.

PO is going to slammed if Chicago doesn't get the Olympics but on the other hand people who don't like him are going to slam him anyway so what difference does it make.

I'm tired of this meme too. And Tell Me More has really gotten on my nerves for the past few months. I briefly stopped listening and now I half listen b/c it comes on btwn two other shows I like to listen to in the afternoon. They talk about good stuff sometimes but so often they pick up silly stories, like this one, and I know she is just doing her job but Michelle Martin irritates me with some of the assinine "devil's advocate" question she asks. Oh and those Mocha Moms drive me UP THE FREAKING WALL!!!

He needs to step up, stop playing mayor of Chicago and make some decisions.
1. 43 soldiers have died since the General asked for more troops...
make a decision.
2.Healthcare reform needs leadership.
make a decision
Let the mayor do his job, and a president do his!!!!

You need to shut the hell up.

That's my decision.

The media is the one who's overexposing Obama, so they are still the ones controlling the narrative. But Obama should htank the media for that, cause it's the only reason why he got elected.

The Humpty Dance is Yo Chance to do the Hump....

...First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shakin' and twitchin' kinda like I was smokin'
Crazy wack funky
People say ya look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty ...

This issue of over exposure is a prime example of how in love the media is with itself. Using terms like "The Full Ginsberg" when discussing the President's interviews last Sunday. They could only think about how they feel and didn't actually care about the issues he was talking about. No one at home was thinking he was over exposed. No one cared about that, they want to hear what the President of their country plans to do to bring health care coverage for all and how he is dealing with the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's really infuriating to see these people get paid to just sit around and bitch about nothing.

PBO's "exposure" dampens rethugs hysteria. Should U.S. media "ever" return to some form journalist reporting PBO would not have a need to directly address the American public to "set the record straight".

Bingo.

What RonnieB said.

The white wing media wants President Obama to be seen and not heard. They want to make him a token figurehead so they can control the narrative with lies and spin.

I'm with Booky and the WWM!

PBO is NOT over-exposed. Would they rather he be hidden away, not commenting telling us to mind our own business 'cuz HE'S THE DECIDER, and you don't need to know what I'm doing anyways.....

If "over-exposed" means that the President is harming the media's ability to control the narrative ...

then, yes, I guess he's "over-exposed".
