It has hurt him from Day One of the campaign when they turned him into a god. His entire presidency could only be a decline from his promise.

3 Does the lenient media realize that Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure?

4 Let's not forget the countless photos of Obama with a halo behind his head. And the fact no one in an otherwise cynical media snickered at bullshit like the "Office of The President-Elect," something that would have had them rolling in the aisles if Bush had done it.

5

I don't know if a hostile press would have made President Obama more energetic.  The man has always been a dilettante and has voted "present" his entire political career.  I personally think a hostile press would trigger a Captain Quigg moment.

10 i agree....the media...like helicopter parents, coddled him.....never gave him a tough question....never questioned any of his actions just lulled him into a false sense of security where he got lax in having to prove himself......so now he stutters.....he can't think on his feet......he's a miserable failure.....i don't think they purposely lulled him into a false sense of security....they were just trying to protect him from the conservatives....

16 Walter Russell Mead made the same points about the Wisconsin Dems as Barnes did about Petey.

The media was cheerleading rather challenging making them 1) overconfident, and 2) unprepared to defend policies after they're vetted

17 Hey, the media is useful! Otherwise, they'd be reporting that my half-uncle, Omar Onyango Obama, got busted for DUI and ramming a police car in Massachusetts Wednesday. And surprise, surprise, surprise, he's not in the country legally! No wonder I support immigration amnesties - half mu family is here illegally!

You're giving the SCOAMF a lot of credit there. I don't think he's growing at all. That would require him to admit he got something -- all kinds of shit -- wrong.

21 Posted by: Velvet Ambition at August 28, 2011 12:27 PM (0OJd9) It just has to PAIN Obama to interrupt his down time to travel to a photo op. Every time his handlers try to portray him as "large-and-in-charge" he comes off looking "small-and-not-on-the-ball". The FEMA photo op was disingenuous and gratuitous. You can see through it like Ace's best t-shirt.

22 .......caption......this was supposed to be my katrina......

23 Mark Steyn has been making this point for ages - that the media shilling for D's constantly leads them to make mistakes due to overconfidence. This goes all the way back to Reagan - where the media constantly blared that Reagan was a stupid idiot. Unfortunately, the D's believed it as well - and they made mistake after mistake believing that they were dealing with an idiot, not with one of the most wily politicians who ever lived. There you go again...

Obama's illegal uncle arrested; 'Uncle Omar' hits cop car, tries to call White House

35 Ok if you had a choice between having the media in your pocket, or having the media actively tell people you are a baby killing racist monster...which one would you pick?

36 When the media attacked him over gaffes in the 1980 campaign, “Reagan responded like all competitive men by working to improve himself,” says Reagan historian Craig Shirley. “Experience taught him to be better and try harder.”

Evolution and natural selection.  Is there anything they can't do?

37 Sorry for OT, but this greeted me in the Sunday paper this morning:

"Republican presidential hopefuls Gov. Rick Perry and Mitt Romney will be in San Antonio this week for the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention, but for the first time in its 112-year history, no one from the White House has committed to making an appearance."

Even the lefty reporters and editors of the local fishwrap are pissed about this.

38 27 To say he has been hurt by the media's leniency is retarded. It is how he got the presidency, and how his approval numbers include people who aren't retarded.

You are correct-for the first election.  After that, though, his failure as a president is so manifest that even the braindead can see that he is completely unfit for the office.  The only ones who will vote for this guy are blacks, who will never admit that the historic first black president was an utter goober.  Even they won't be enthusiastic about it, though.  They just don't want the margin of loss to be so huge as to be humiliating.

39 --ItÂ’s counterintuitive, but Obama has been hurt by the mediaÂ’s leniency. Both his presidency and reelection prospects have suffered. HeÂ’s grown lazy and complacent. The media have encouraged him to believe his speeches are irresistible political catnip, though they arenÂ’t. His overreliance on words hasnÂ’t helped.

It's not counter-intuitive.  Affirmative action hurts those it purports to help and it puts all who fall under its purview into a rightfully suspect position of not having the ability or talent to be where they are.

Further, Barnes is totally off-base in thinking that Barky ver cared about a second term.  The Indonesian didn't expect to even be allowed to remain in office until the end of his first term, which is why he pild on in the first two years with every single thing he could possibly think of and pushing it all through with as little knowledge of it or discussion as possible (with the epitome of this being the Porkulus that was specifically forced through with the specific idea that people could not read it before voting on it, or we would all die).

Barky is just a political suicide bomber who looked to take America apart.  He set about doing everything possible from the Oval Office to achieve this (and has come extremely close to his ultimate goal) and never gave a shit about a second term.  Barky is probably still surprised that he wasn't thrown out for being ineligible - which he always knew that he was.  Luckily, the Vichy Right were sticking up for Barky and got him through that hurdle.

40 Weasel Zipper has the Ace/Pamela spat in his sidebar.

41 Is there any leftard president that the media and the left didn't give a tongue bath to while in and out of office?  Maybe, LBJ, but he wasn't black or perceived as black (Clinton).

42 19 And then they took the strawberries! Tell 'em, Daley, you saw the strawberries, and now they're gone!

Then they started calling me old yellow stain...

43

Our lives are being controled by the MSM to a large degree. Why do we even let this happen? Is there no way to change this? Do we just sit here and watch our lives and country morph into some grotesque unrecognizable blob to be integrated within a NWO scheme? Where are we headed? What is our future?Our current state of affairs both social division and economic hardship has been concocted by the left with heavy doses if media propaganda. We must change the media if this country is to survive. Thank God for the internets!!

45 Having the media in your pocket is a great advantage in some respects, but it makes you make stupid mistakes.

Posted by: That's MR. Jehovah to you! at August 28, 2011 12:43 PM (Hu/Da)

Barky hasn't made any stupid mistakes because of the media.  Barky never gave a shit what the media said.  He's done what he wanted to do and he's listened to NO ONE in the process.  NO ONE.

Barky's made stupid mistakes because he's stupid.  Most of his "mistakes", however, were not - not by his estimation. They were designed to harm America (as with his intentional screwing up of every single aspect fo the gulf oil spill - EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.) and Barky was going to do them with or without the MFM.

46 "Republican presidential hopefuls Gov. Rick Perry and Mitt Romney will be in San Antonio this week for the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention, but for the first time in its 112-year history, no one from the White House has committed to making an appearance."

I was just over at Blackfive and they're at the Am Leg convention in Minneapolis.  I think Obama is going to make an appearance there. 

From local news:

He's scheduled to speak Tuesday morning following remarks by Minnesota politicians including U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, Gov. Mark Dayton and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak.

Wednesday's speakers include U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (by video) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Minnesota congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann speaks Thursday morning, the last day of the convention, which takes place at the convention center.

47 "You are correct-for the first election. After that, though, his failure as a president is so manifest that even the braindead can see that he is completely unfit for the office.

Meh.  Barky has asshole genes and an IQ in the mid 80s.  That has nothing to do with his home life and upbringing.

If you want to talk about Barky's problem being raised in the third world, in the biggest muslim nation in the world, as a muslim, then that is something else.  But, that only goes to his total lack of any American sensibilities, at all, and his utter contempt for America, our culture and our institutions.  Of course, even without that he would have asshole genes and a low IQ. 

Barky is a factory second.  Period.

Vermont case — litigation that could decide the fate of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power station’s renewal license and three Vermont statutes — resumes in U.S. District Court in Brattleboro.

According to the groupsÂ’ press release, additional analysis could yield substantial results and the possible rejections of some license applications by the NRC.

Nuclear facilities addressed by the groupsÂ’ contentions include Diablo Canyon (California), Watts Bar (Tennessee), Bellefonte (Alabama), Summer (South Carolina), South Texas, Comanche Peak (Texas), Vogtle (Georgia), Turkey Point (Florida), Indian Point (New York), Calvert Cliffs (Maryland), Davis-Besse (Ohio), Seabrook (New Hampshire), Fermi (Michigan), Levy County (Florida), Shearon Harris (North Carolina), North Anna (Virginia), Bell Bend (Pennsylvania), and W.

Unfortunately, so did we.

77 The head of the VFW seems a little touchy to me or there's something wrong with their communications team.  He also made a scathing attack on Perry because at first the governor was not able to attend.  Perry adjusted his schedule a day later. 

Here's the quote:  Eubank, a Marine Corps retiree and Vietnam combat veteran from Eugene, Ore., was also critical of Texas Gov. Rick Perry. "The VFW also has a tradition of inviting the governor of the host state where its annual convention is being held to come and welcome and greet our convention delegates. Although Gov. Perry was similarly sent an invitation three months ago, apparently our invitation was deemed not important enough for the governor's office to at least accept or decline the invitation.

"Gov. Perry's candidacy for president does not provide him an excuse for bad manners.

"The White House and Gov. Perry can rest assured the 2 million of the VFW and its auxiliaries will remember the discourteous treatment for a very long time to come."

It seems to me that it is not in the best interests of the VFW to have their leader go eleventy in public against major politicians, even the president.  It just makes me wonder wtf is going on there that their staff could not get a response from Perry for three months and that the tradition of the POTUS attending was broken, especially in light of the apparent poor scheduling of their convention's and the Legion's.

Luckily, Powell is totally irrelevant.  I can't think of anyone who REALLY takes Powell seriously or cares to hear what his opinion is on anything, other than to use as a snippet in some minor ad.  And supporting Barky wasn't even close to the worst thing Powell did, anyway.

85 There is no way that the MSM fawning coverage of obama hurts him. The 52% ers lap it up. The women who read Vogue, and all of the other trashy fashion and celebrity magazines are bedazzled by the wondrous coverage Mooshell gets. Just think, they look at her as a standard of fashion and beauty. With a bar set that low, is it no wounder that she has a following of low self esteemed women? Men on the other hand read of his brilliance and stumbling oratory skills and think, yes I was secure enough in my white skin to vote for the first incompetent community organizer, and now my vote is being validated by the news makers and shakers of the MSM.

the media, whether you call them msm, mbm, or mfm are a group of boot-licking ass-kissing suckers of cock. Obama's personal ball washers, knob polishers, feckless cum guzzlers and they appear on tv later and you can just imagine it dripping off chins and mustaches.

And they think no one even cares !

Fuck Them.

Carney is a tool/fool and Gibbs was a clown

You would think the media could at least get past those 2 idiots, that just shows how much of a farce those press briefings are.

What few hard important questions get asked here and there are ignored and drowned out by the 24/7 Spin/Lie machines of the suckers of cock horde (sort of like the Juns) with shows on MessNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC

And the fucking JOURNOLIST is still alive out there in some new form, that whole cabal should have been tossed into jail then given jobs as gas station attendants in New Jersey somewhere.

92 Did I mention that Rick Perry is pro-jihad?  Yup I bet he is wearing a suicide vest right now.  Better search him.  Can't trust those Texas dhimmis.

93 Post hurricane Irene analysis by reputable meteorologists indicates that the rare track of the storm was not dictated by prevailing winds and sea temperatures as previously thought, but by the fact that NY Mayor Bloomberg sucks so bad.

94 " I'd call it childish if it weren't so reptilian."

RD, you do a terrible disservice to honest reptiles.

95 Obama looks small and inconsequential in that photo op.  You know who came out looking good through this disaster?  The governors of the states that were affected by Irene.  Obama is small and pathetic.  This is why we elect governors as POTUS.

96 Bloomberg presser:

"I care about you more than you care about yourself, so shut up and do what I tell you or I'll arrest your ass and stop caring about you."

He has a breakdown on camera. You know what would be the most incredible thing? Not such a hypothetical breakdown, but instead the subsequent MFM hand-wringing and making of excuses for Dick's collapse. How we put too much pressure on him, how we failed him, how he's too good for us, how we must unite to heal our Preznit and get him out of the Walnut Academy. We would be told anyone else in his shoes would have cracked, and sooner. Actually, we already hear how the awful American people have failed Dick. So maybe it wouldn't be that novel after all. But it would be delicious to see him beg to be measured for a strait-jacket on camera.

106 What can I say?

It's hard to keep your killer edge up when there's someone's lips around your dick 24/7.

107 The VFW PAC endorsed a bunch of libtards in 2010.  The VFW itself was pretty thoroughly pissed.  The two are actually legally separate entities, and the people at the PAC were either plants or idiots, or both.  Barbara Boxer got their endorsement FFS.

112 I got this under control, fellas. How do you like my Dukakis Commemorative Hurricane Commander hat the guys gave me? It's got my name on it!

113 That pic of the prez dealing with the hurricane response is hilarious. What president gets into the nuts and bolts of such stuff? That's for the professionals, not some national leader who doesn't know squat about emergency management.

Sort of like Cap'n Kirk beaming down for every dangerous, life-risking situation on unexplored alien planets, when he should be up in the control room doing his job.

I always wondered about that. Now I know what it looks like in real life. Yikes!

114 No, Mr. President a "cyclone" is not what you ride wearing a helmet and mom jeans.

115 Taranto keeps pointing out that this cocooning stuff hurts Dems because they read the papers and think everything they do is supercool - if all you read was the NYT you would think that everyone wanted more taxes and gay people should get married and adopt stem cell babies. But that's not the real world, and so long as they are isolated they won't change. Thing is that Axelrod has to have polling that says that *something* is amiss and yet they keep doing the same old thing. I still say that their only hope is doubling down on hope and change and putting Colin Powell on the ticket.

120 ....that has never been applied to Obama. If it had, I suspect heÂ’d be a more effective, disciplined, energetic, and popular president today.

Barnes is mistaken here- if that fey, bonesmoking, stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure had been subjected to ANY amount of "media pressure" whatsoever, he'd not have come within 100 miles of the White House.

121 Alexa noted this specific part: Residents, with DC identification, may pick up sandbags (up to five per household) at RFK Stadium, Lot 7. Alexa found the whole “DC identification” thing rather amusing. “Need ID to pick up sandbags, but not to vote,” she snarked. Totally hilarious, no? You need a valid ID to save your home, but you don’t need an ID to vote The Nation Below Canada in a nutshell. Or sandbag, as the case may be.

That's because Cap'n Kirk was the leader, it used to be that leaders would lead their troops into dangerous situations.  Back in the good ole days this was required in order that men would actually follow you.  If it were Cap'n Obama he would have stayed safe up in the Enterprise and would have blamed anything that went wrong during the mission on someone else, after dressing all the men in red shirts of course.

161 The media's leniency didn't hurt Obama, it hurt America. Posted by: Socratease at August 28, 2011 02:00 PM (/ijYB) This. Without a complicit, compliant, almost all Dem-donor press corps, Obama would not be President - he probably wouldn't have even been the candidate. I think it's a little bizarre to frame the effect of a biased press corps on the country in terms of issues of personal growth for the President. It strikes me as a little "Dear Leader"-ish.

162

Oh, bullfuckingshit that Obama had it so bad as a child.   A hell of a lot of successful people had it worse than he ever had it.   He had good grandparents, and actually knew his mother.   He knew who his father was, too, and he made a conscious decision to be of the same mindset as the stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that his father was.    He went to good schools and was raised middle class.

This idea that using someone's childhood as an excuse for them being a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure is so much BS that it's effin laughable.

163 minority women with fatherless welfare childrens hardest hit..

164 It doesn't matter what the press does.  Obama's philosophy and politics will always lead to failure no matter how competent he is or how hard he works.  Indeed it is likely that the more he accomplishes the greater a failure he will be.  Look at Barney Frank.  Not content with bringing a nation to its knees through the mortgage mess he has doubled down with financial reform.  I assume he is a relatively intelligent and hard working, if thoroughly unpleasant, man.  But he would have been much more a success had he slept in every day and never run for office.  In fact he would have done the country a much greater service had he spent his days hunting crack and robbing liquor stores.  Because the policies he promotes are much, much worse than anything he could ever do on a personal level.

Barnes is a hack in that he seems to think that one philosophy is as good as another and that either can work if a president just tries harder.  This is manifestly stupid.

165

 Obama "Birth of Hope" baby doll, complete with t-shirt saying "The Birth of Hope, January 20, 2009" with "Yes We Can" on a sleeve. 

Does it come with a birth certificate?  (Signed by K. Gosnell?)

166 Bah! This is more 'Inside-the-Beltway' blather from an Inside-the-Beltway 'conservative'...I don't like being 'talked down to by a so-called 'smart guy'.

ItÂ’s counterintuitive, but Obama has been hurt by the mediaÂ’s leniency.

What complete and utter HORSESHIT. This is where Barnes, intentionally or otherwise, provides 'cover' for the current pack of whores (disguised as journalists) who have cast aside their traditional roles to become the shield & cudgel for the Left.

he media have condoned ObamaÂ’s avoidance of leadership. It started when he let Nancy Pelosi draft the $800 billion stimulus and continued when congressional Democrats put together the health care, cap and trade, and financial industry reform bills.

This is the part where he's 'talking down' to the reader: there was NO surrender of 'leadership'. There was only the execution of pre-written 'mission packets' from Leftist (Soros-funded) think-tanks that were handed out as it became obvious that the next president of the United States was going to be Obama.

The script for the first term of Obama was clear and concise; the only 'leadership' required was a whip, and the dispensing of large packets of Obama's 'stash' (the transferred wealth of taxpayers) to loyal allies. The press' only job was to convince the masses that the meat-puppet in front of the teleprompter (and getting 'guidance' via his pet BlackBerry) was the long awaited Savior of Amerikkka™ and Healer of All Things Bad In the World (mainly us ignorant, knuckle-dragging, insensitive despoilers of the planet...i.e. 'Amerikkkans').

All that, and to convince said masses that the smoke and flames outside their windows was an illusion cast by evil right-wingers.

[Painting 'uneasy' average Americans as unenlightened racists is merely the bonus round.]

If it had, I suspect heÂ’d be a more effective, disciplined, energetic, and popular president today.

Huh...WTF? On which fantasy plain of reality would that be Fred? Aren't you kinda assuming that Obama actually wants to 'make things better'? Based on what's transpired thus far, a reasonable, sane,  'thinking' person would begin to doubt that premise.

Ronald Reagan is a good role model in this regard.

Okay Barnes...that's it. Knock off the fucking analogies of Obozo and Reagan...that whiny POS sitting in the WH couldn't measure up to Reagan's belt buckle, let alone be put into the same 'rhetorical room' as RR.

THERE HAS BEEN NO LENIENCY. PERIOD. Full stop.

Barnes' opinion is either 'self-deception' or deceit.

This is one pack of socialist/'progressive'/marxist deceivers covering the ass of a worthless marxist meat-puppet...not a body of 'journalists' hoping for the best for a 'troubled leader' in a time of 'great trial & struggle'.

I know a crap-sandwich when I see one Freddie, don't try to tell me it's otherwise.

I didn't fall off the turnip wagon this morning, yesterday, or last year. I've been watching these leftist scum-bags gathering steam for decades.

And so have you, Barnes. You know better.

Shame on you for writing this insipid excuse of a 'thought-piece'.

167 This is the Potty Training Presidency, with Barky as the toddler and the MBM as the doting parents. Barky: "Look! I made a doody and I wiped myself all by myself!" MBM: "Oh, what a smart Barky you are! And so clever and all grown up! Yay!! ( * clap! clap! clap! * ) Yay!! Yay!!!

168 "That's because Cap'n Kirk was the leader, it used to be that leaders would lead their troops into dangerous situations.  Back in the good ole days this was required in order that men would actually follow you.  If it were Cap'n Obama he would have stayed safe up in the Enterprise and would have blamed anything that went wrong during the mission on someone else, after dressing all the men in red shirts of course. "

Yeah, but that's not how it works in real life, these days. In the modern military, the general doesn't lead the troops into battle. He generally sends a competent subordinate in to do the job while he stays back and does his job, coordinating things so he doesn't get killed and leave his men in the lurch, and thereby keeps as many of his men alive as possible.

Kirk was a leader, but in today's military he would be considered irresponsible in the extreme. (Remember in the first STTNG when Ryker pointed out to Picard that the First Officer should beam down somewhere, not the Captain). That's great for a TV show, but it doesn't fly in the real world.

Of course, Obama is worthless in the White House, too, but I'd think he was doubly worthless trying to command some disaster control center. And triply worthless if he shows up there with his camera crew for a photo op, thereby interfering with the people doing the real job.

169

Potty training--lol.

SCoaMF's had his butt wiped for him all the way--even now, the MFM has to follow up him with a wetnap.

170 "The kind of media pressure that can cause a president to sharpen his game, act with urgency, or take bolder steps—that has never been applied to Obama. If it had, I suspect he’d be a more effective, disciplined, energetic, and popular president today."

I disagree with the previous statement from Barnes' editorial.  I think that tough questioning from the media would have turned Obama into a quivering mass of whining, incoherent, blubbering, post-breakdown goo.  The fact that they coddle him allows him to continue to be no worse than a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure.

171 follow him up....sheesh

172  Tough questioning from the media would have exposed him as a SCoaMF, if not an enemy of the Republic, and would've probably cost him the election.  Too bad the MFM didn't do their job.

173 Tough questioning early might well have given us Madame President Rodham.

174 When you live in your own amen corner, all you can hear is the echoes.

175 Remember the days when the press rudely shouted questions at Ronald Reagan during news conferences? I do. There were times when they seemed angry and wouldn't let him answer. Now they won't even hit-up Obama over something as serious as, say, Operation Fast and Furious where lives were lost and the trail of dirty deeds appears to lead all the way to the White House.

Not a problem. Just make sure to rub it in when a new president takes office in 2013.

"Why are you guys shouting all these questions? You couldn't be bothered to do that during the tenure of the previous holder of this office, and you want to do that now??"

179 If your formula only scores NPR as a 66 out of 100 for liberal bias I propose that your formula has a huge problem.

180 RD, that thingy by Groseclose is an excellent find.  I've been mulling over something similar for years and lamenting the fact that some other person with more time than me hasn't done it.

Now we have an excellent start.  I'm going to use those ideas to come up with something similar in a different area, but it's really good to have this happening.

It's not exactly "science" but it's at least an indicator.

And Bob Saget, I expect the reason the NPR score isn't higher is that, despite their obvious bias, they do the reporting on "normal" stuff that the mainstream media doesn't do.  I can't stand to listen to them anymore because the 66% stuff hits my brain like speed bumps taken at 65mph.  But the flat parts between those bumps is better quality than CNN at any time.

A Marine colonel on his way home from work at the Pentagon came to a dead halt in traffic . . .

The Officer replies, "The President is just so depressed about the thought of moving with Michelle to Kenya, that he stopped his motorcade in the middle of the Beltway and he's threatening to douse himself in gasoline and set himself on fire. He says his family hates him and he doesn't have the money to pay for the new house. I'm walking around taking up a collection for him."

"Oh really? How much have you collected so far?"

"So far about three hundred gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."
