So CNN goes with the Obama is overexposed theme and lets a RW pundit have the only word on it
Anyone see Wolfie a little while ago on the Situation Room? Lets Alex Castellanos have the last and only word about if Obama is overexposed and of course that hack said Obama is now being seen as a good orator but who does not get anything done with his speeches. Were the Rethugs and media not too long ago just saying Obama needed to be more out there and forceful on health care? In other words, no matter what he does, the Rethugs will say its wrong and bad and the media plays along. I wish the opposite were true in Bush's early days.

1. I think somebody is scared to see the guy out there making his case. Either that that
or they officially have run out of topics to cover. Apparently there is nothing I repeat nothing occurring in this world right now that merits the same amount of coverage.

2. More proof that they are right wing water carriers
Expose yourself Obama! :rofl: That is their real complaint. Most Americans find the President persuasive.

3. This is NOT about news -- it's a PR question. And something that Just.Doesn't.Matter!
So, that's what the "news" does now -- in place of actual "news."

If they are going to do "inside baseball" - maybe a show or two about how Bob Woodward got the Bush WH leaks, and the Pentagon leaks. Great journalist, or intelligence stooge?

Huh? Bob? Huh?

9. Oh it does matter! Obama is taking too much time out of Wolf's 24/7 Screaming Teabagger coverage!
If Obama is out talking, they can't promote the "views" of the birthers/teabaggers and other assorted fringe kooks.

5. Huh. I think John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham
are over exposed. Funny how they never ask about their excessive appearances.

Edited on Mon Sep-21-09 05:03 PM by emulatorloo
I guess Wolf would rather do 24/7 coverage of Teabaggers/Birthers/Obama is a Socialist Nazi types.

12. "I wish the opposite were true in Bush's early days."
I recall wishing, daily, that W* would go on (and stay on) vacation for the remainder of his Residency.

Then again, he wasn't really running the show....

13. uhhh....Mr. President..WE'RE supposed to frame your debate--not you.
They are mad that he goes to the people and he speaks directly to the people without the media filtering the message their way.

Maybe CNN's just bad he didn't go on their shows?

14. Well, Wolf did get crushed on Jeopardy by Conan O'Brian's sidekick.
He was also beaten in score by the lovely Dana Delany.

That makes Wolf the 500th smartest person in the room (including studio audience).

15. The President is not a celebrity whose public might balk at paying for what they can see for free.
IOW, "over-exposed" is a meaningless term for any POTUS.

16. Two buttons to push...
Button #1:
Obama Isn't Doing Enough

Button #2:
Obama Is Doing Too Much

Wolf's tiny soft hands can pick either button depending on whether he reminds himself he's 4 foot 9 inches or not.

:puke:

17. Leslie Blitzer
is a member of the Republican think tank, American Enterprise Institute and some say he secretly works for the CIA spreading propaganda disguised as news.
