Obama losing his mojo?

For all the glowing attention the media has showered on the President, it's hard to imagine his 100-day prime time TV press conference viewership dropping 29%. Maybe it's because he holds them too frequently? Since February he's had one each month, and of course the TV networks are losing ad revenues because of them. And it looks like Fox made the smarter move by rejecting Obama's request and carried on its regular programming. It does help the economy, right?

As jobless rates rise and the recession deepens, many Americans are starting to realize that their President can certainly talk the talk, but he cannot walk the walk. (And he only talks the talks when the teleprompter is present and operational.) His economic policies follow just one plan: let the government take over. Translation: transfer the burden to the taxpayers. The federal government is on a multi-trillion dollar spending spree. Future generations of Americans are going to suffer greatly.

Internationally, he may be well received but world leaders don't always see eye-to-eye with him. Even with our longtime allies like Britain and France and other NATO members. When he attended the Summit of the Americas, the biggest news that came out was Chavez's friendliness toward him and how other Latin American leaders were criticizing the U.S.

A dip of nearly one-third of viewers is significant. The media absolutely loves him, but I'm starting to think that the public has seen past the honeymoon period with this new president.

Selling policies to Americans on late night talk show

The first black presidential candidate of a major political party. The first black president. Soon he'll be the first sitting president to appear on a talk show. (Yes, another historic event! Now go on with your lives, please.)

Jay Leno and his producers would be proud. Clearly the White House thinks Obama supporters are the young, hip, night owls and couch potatoes, and by doing the Leno interview he'll be more effective in pushing his expensive and expansive policies. Well, good luck with that now that a lot of these supporters are also jobless and upside-down on their mortgages...

The majority of Americans have no desire for more bailouts. If Obama and his Democrats cannot understand this and continue to push their anti-capitalistic agenda, it will backfire on them as soon as 2010.

Coulter banned on NBC

According to the Drudge Report, controversial conservative author Ann Coulter is banned from appearing on NBC:

"We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now. It's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."

That's probably true. Whoever watches NBC probably isn't interested in Coulter's criticism of liberals. But a complete ban based on the reasoning that she's critical of our president-elect? NBC ought to be ashamed! Why didn't they ban those who were highly critical of President Bush? The elite media double standard at its best.

The Donald endorses McCain

Obama, you're fired!

Donald Trump has endorsed Sen. McCain for president on CNN's "Larry King Live."

Sarah Fey? Tina Palin?

Saturday was season premier of SNL and featured Tina Fey as Gov. Sarah Palin. The V.P. candidate and her crew watched it on a plane en route from Reno to Denver. The money quote?

"She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween," her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt said, according to CBS News.

Score another point for the governor!

MTV VMA host talks American politics, makes idiot of self

Maybe there's a reason MTV had to settle with British pseudo-actor/comedian Russell Brand in the last minute as host of its Video Music Awards... 'cause nobody wanted the gig. Brand begged the audience to elect Obama "on behalf of the world." He also called President Bush a "retarded cowboy."

When did MTV become CNN- or MSNBC-like to offer left-wing political commentary?

Well, keep it up. Although VMA viewers are most likely young voters in support of Obama, they absolutely, like, hate political stuff on MTV 'cause, you know, like, they want to see music videos and like, reality shows with beautiful young people.

Yes, the MTV Generation knows a good backlash, too.

The Oprah Winfrey no-show

We know that Oprah has already expressed her endorsement of Barack Obama and now after a Drudge Report flash, would "love to have her [Gov. Sarah Palin] on after the campaign is over." She also claims that there has been no discussion within her staff about interviewing Palin on the show.

Yeah, right! Please don't insult your viewers' intelligence, Oprah. I hope you read the comments on your site regarding your statement. You may be losing a chunk of your audience.

Obama finally talks to O'Reilly, attempts to steal GOP thunder

FOX News' "The O'Reilly Factor" finally gets a chance to interview Obama. It will air at 8 p.m. ET tonight. According to the program, the senator concedes that the troop surge in Iraq succeeded.

Obama was invited to the program in early 2007. Why grant the interview now?

After Palin's show-stopping speech last night, the Obama/Biden campaign is panicking. Palin totally ripped the Dem ticket apart. The media is in a feeding frenzy. Nobody's paying attention to The One, and that's not a good sign. Liberals are scared... Can't blame them, their own leftist media CBS even released a poll with McCain and Obama dead even at 42%!

The Obama campaign finally talked The One into being challenged on FOX News. It's all about media coverage and generating buzz. His campaign simply cannot sit idle while newspapers, blogs, and TV shows continue to run stories about Palin. Not to mention showering some rain onto McCain's parade tonight as he delivers his acceptance speech.
