Sorry to say it but it's true... They all want to make HIM look BAD
The media, like the GOP and some Democrats from conservative states and districts all want to make President Obama look worse than he really is... worse than Bush! They are doing their level best to tarnish the accomplishments he's made. Was criticism this bad when Clinton was in office? I don't think so. Was it this bad when Bush senior was in office? I don't think so. This president has done more than any other president has and at a pace much quicker than past presidents and look at how everyone is acting. He tried to fix the meltdown and congress wouldn't let him do it properly. He tried to get a robust health care bill passed and the other branches of government took it and neutered it. Wanted to close Gitmo. Sorry, no go.

Morning Joe, the idiot that he is said he was too inexperienced to be president. Has he seen the Republican field? They're almost all whacky! And the media is taking these bunch of losers seriously. We don't help when we do too much denigration of elected Democrats. The media takes that and uses it. You do have to ask some very unsettling questions about why the media has been tougher on him than on any other president. I'm not saying that Obama has done everything the way I'd like but the way the media, many of his supporters, independents are carrying on, it's as if they want GWB back. That is insane.

1. K&R but one correction......
the GOP are ALL wacky, and liars. He certainly does not enjoy the press coverage that Bush did (essentially ingnoring the fact that he was a complete buffoon, liar and cheat).

2. Only 9% Of President Obama’s News Coverage Positive
Only 9% Of President Obama’s News Coverage Positive

It isn’t easy being the guy in charge. A new study from Pew Research Center of campaign coverage finds that only 9% of news reports on President Obama have been “positive,” easily the lowest number of any of the major candidates. Surprisingly, Rick Perry fares the best with 32% positive coverage and non-candidate Sarah Palin is right behind him at 31%. Take a look:

3. The more they talk him down, the more ridiculous they sound
especially as the administration quietly goes about getting things done and putting lie to the rhetoric.

I think the yammering heads are going to find that people aren't just impatient with the economy, but with nonstop, nonproductive bashing.

4. If by "they" you mean many DUers, and by "him" you mean President Obama, then I agree.
Sadly.

8. Yep. But the good news is, we all know what's up
I don't think anyone takes those folks seriously. When someone is "disappointed," "let down" and "done!!1" over every single action the man takes, it's not all that hard to realize they aren't serious.
