Well... At least they didn't bow.

Maybe they were getting ready to run if he was going for THIER wallets? No, just sucking up to to all mighty "ONE"

That's just so enchanting.

Shame on them.

BTW, did they stand for Clinton and Reagan? I don't recall seeing it if they did.

Leviticus 19:32

You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the aged, and you shall revere your God; I am the LORD.

They can't even get the grayheaded part right.

WOW. good observation. What a bunch of sycophants. I wonder if they will be changing the course names at universities from Journalism to Socialist Cheerleading now?

Brent: Are you sure that Leviticus didn't mean
Nappy-Headed?

I recall the press conference in Ottawa when Prime Minister Harper and President Obama entered...only half the media stood in respect.
Canadian journalists sat.

They've taken suckupery to new levels. That was just disgusting.

Atric:
Well, I think it is very clear what was intended.
However, if you are implying that the MSM has their own (very modified) version of 19:32, well then,..... LOL.

"White House threatens lawyer's client in Chrylser bankruptcy discussions, bringing in "the full force of the 'White House Press Core' would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight."

Interview here, and this statement starts at the 1:40 mark...

All the better to tonguebath you my dear....

'rise ye up before the hoary head."

Can you imagine how much different the approval ratings would be for Obama if the media actually carried out its historical role of lucidly criticizing government of all stripes instead of engaging in partisan public support of a black Democratic President?

That +1 difference would probably be a -10 or -12.

There can be no doubt now that the Left-Stream Media is in the tank for Obama and the Democrats.

When CWII comes around I will take great pleasure in Waterboarding them.
,

OH yeah, BB. I heard about this. And note that the 4 big banks who were owed 70% of the Chrysler debt are all getting big time TARP money. This is all getting remarkably crooked, and shameless too. they aren't even trying to hide anymore.

Going to be interesting on the 4th of July this year. Police presence at tea parties? Cameras? Maybe the SWAT team? Because hey, you never know eh? Them teabaggers could be trouble.

Even more interesting on the 4th -next- year after Bary has had some time to pack the courts a bit more. National Guard call outs, anyone?

Oh well, I already cut off my TV and don't get the papers, it'd be tough to boycott these cretins any more than I do now. It's y'all's turn. Unplug yore TV, cousins.

Now, these things run in cycles. So if it is this good for him now, it won't be this good for him in about a year.

It has only been 100 days, as we were so consistently remonded a week or so ago.

The smile will wear thin eventually and there will need to be defence of objectives. ABC seems to be the only mainstream media org taking a more nuanced view. I write Fox off, not becase they are wrong, but because I would be shocked if they acted othrwise. I guess Disney isnt getting any government bailout money.

I am guessing this is a youtube vid of the "enchanted" question? (no flash installed on work puters).

And for Gellen, yes they did. They may not have wanted to, but there is no surer way to get your butt kicked out of the WHPC than to break protocol in public. Asking utterly moronic questions unfortunetly is not cause to get booted.

Proves the independence of the media. Fox news was not selected to ask a question in the prime time love-in. Are journalistic standards so lax that the approval of bambam is a job requirement. O said he isn't in the car business. Four of the six board members are appointed by the government and Ratner 'The Rat' is car Czar. The Rat has made lots of money for his pals but is known for not paying up when it goes bad.

Well Phantom, I can only go so far on that TV thingy. I live and breathe Nascar, F1, Busch, Trucks, ARCA, Rolex, Indy, F3000 and anything else that has a V8 and a round de round.

What a I may give up in 2 months is the $90 bucks a month worthless Hughes Net. Me and mine live out in the boon-docks and can't get DSL or Cable, had an ISDN Line 2 years ago, but when it finally hit $235 a month had to shut it down ( I mean, God Lord, that's a bass boat note.)

Be thankful they didn't drop their pants and undies for Obama.

They do it occassionally as a special form of greeting, moonbat-to-moonbat. Saw it at Zombietime.com a couple times. Bizarre freaks.

they havent bowed to him like he bowed to the Saudi king. yet

The cult of bamarama is pathetic. These adults in msm act like pre teens gushing over some singing idol (Elvis comes to mind). Fox news has adult reporting and commentary; the rest of them are just like the Howdy Duddy Show from the sixties. I have suspected the IQ of the writers in msm for sometime and this video is living proof that this press gang (like the Canadian press gang) are just out of control gushers for whatever/whomever they can get an emotional gusher from (for my generation it was Elvis, and the adults in the room nodded off in boredom - Elvis was not the President of a nation, he was an entertainer). This chronological adults are seeking to 'outrage' the establishment by gushing about a President who is stealing the Liberty of the greatest free nation on earth. The man that the American people appointed leader of their nation is obviously 'clueless' (eg the teleprompter), he seems to 'stimulate' other emotions far removed from governing the most powerful country in the world. This fella is not a Caesar or a Pericles; he has done nothing to earn respect. The new President is a hollow man that all women's libbers like because he is harmless and looks and acts like a boy toy (President Bush certainly did not fit into the boy toy mode and he had a lovely wife who obviously did not have her own agenda). The boy toy thingie is what caught my eye when the Owe came onto the political scene - he is like a flash in the pan union organizer: all hat, no cattle. I won't even comment on the msm males.

The press gang are reinforcing the perception that this new President is just a guy speaking 'lines' like an actor. If the press gang suspected that he had his own brain they would be pressing him. They are not as stupid as they appear to be - IMO - remember the teacher that brought 'treats' to school and let the students 'decide' what they would do in class and gave the students the exam the day before so they would all pass? Compare that teacher's overt popularity with the one that made the students work for marks and appeared to not care about his popularity with the students.

The msm outfit is mocking the new President because he caters to them, they know his job is DEPENDANT on them and msm are playing the game.

I miss W.

Oh, the American people will learn to bow to their govt all right..if only so that they will be in the right position when 'big govt' comes for them from the rear..

The senior manager enters the sales meeting.

"White House reporters stand for Obama"
While Canadian MSM reporters and talking heads both "kneel and genuflect" in adoration!

Just wait until Big Algore the snakeoil salesman joins Marxist Obama and General Electric company's carbon "cap and trade" Ponzi scheme.

Global Warming - Gone insane!!

FYI, any Civil War that erupts in the U.S. will be the first.

They've fought over Southern independance (aka Northern aggression), but they've never fought over who would control the gov't of the U.S.

They rose for Bush as well.

Nice try though.

Should they have stood for Bush is perhaps the more pertinent question.

Well if they are standing they can't be accused of working on their knees.

Maybe Monica Lewinsky wants to reprise her job in Washington.

Then Hillary and Michelle can have something in common to talk about.

Tony said: "Well... At least they didn't bow."

Trust me, they're bowing in their minds!

It would be interesting to see how many of those reporters - female & male - constantly have a pair of volleyball kneepads with them ... just in case the opportunity ever presents itself.

Obama is a lawyer and head of United state
he must get respected like Judge in Canada
who rules and this manner used
in court house as well before Queen of England too I guess
matter of hounorable to judge
saying Hounrable Jusitc X for example
this is for bring them more respect and
ask them or at leat wish they care about
profit of American president

respect to prime Minster Harper is necessary too
this is not proper when I watch the Canadian parlement other opposition keep break his words
they must repsect him more to take care of Candian right more
next time when PM Harper are talking other must respect him more as l ong he is majority of vote
judge are rule the law so as prime minster and so as president of United state

On other hand there is more link to issues

that culture or personality of BUSH he does not care ormind I guess to this matter
Character is matter
even assitant of court say all people stand and all peopel seat for judge they must used for all leader in countries too.
Middle east always stand for even regular guest respect of standing not necessary need to be president or prime minster

Chrysler bankrupcy is kind of stingy bankrupcy to me the owner must took bunch of money or ready to sell it to Fiat to Italy
this embrasing that Usa do not wish thier manfacure bankrupt or sell to foriegh contnries while Canadian keep their company to American
American are more nationalist

chrysler can bring stock price down and if 400 million american buy a share of 200 with cheap price tehy can help 40,000,000,000 which is
40 billion to chrysler to help them and later when share of stock goes up they can made more money out of it
share stock can be 10 per share and 200 X 10 for $ 2000 lend money by bank to public to buy

or other organization can buy this share likke teachers in university and school in USA or
government of USA can buy all share when it goes up they can share the stock to public and made profit out of it

or sell chrysle to $ 6000 to 10000 car and change yearly tonew car recycle the raw materials and act like cell phone or computer

Canada is land of immigrants
Include English immigrant to Canada too
Who left London England to made birth of population growth up to 20 million are English background in Canada and not body call those 20 million are mosquito!!!!
Immigrant 100 year from today number of Muslim from middle east grow with same ratio then what they may gossip us land of Canadian born children must have fun to have so many kids born here who know may right or subsidize housing pay them to use their free time spend better for best out of it.

If all Muslim Canadian and other Chinese must forgot their country they come from
Then, English must forgot picture of Queen everywhere in wall in court house or in penny or etc which is hang there every where in power and money positing and let Canada sees all immigrants based on law in Canada and position and expertly not where they come from. If you say Sirlanko and Palestinian must forget their back home so as English back ground too

I have not opposition with English people while I do not see they are got their job from reference from each other how about the rest of Canadian
While I like so many people or friend of mine
I just can not handle some one who is not smart act smarter than you only of where he or she come from is not my country!!!

excuseme

Your link of proof is poof.

Nonetheless, think there's a difference when a "non hand picked" group of reporters spontaneously stand for the POTUS, instead of having to grovel like pups for the privilege of even being in the same room as the MSM annointed TOTUS.
Smells bad.

FYI, yer wrong grok.

The war was about State's rights being trampled by a Federal government that had very little concept of what actually concerned southerners.

this links works. the Totus checking to see if the king is wearing those shriner shoes.

Like Ratt there are some sporting events I can't do without. Unlike Ratt I suspect; because I choose to have TV I am forced to pay $29.95 for the basic package that I don't want. Fck the basic package! On top of that, the satellite company conveniently laces every channel package that has one or two American channels I want with five or six Canadian channels I don't want. SCAM!

As far as I'm concerned I couldn't care less if there was a Canadian TV industry or not!

It may be easier to stand every now and then when you've got a hard-on for the man like these clowns do...

FYI, AtlanticJim - grok is technically correct. The Confederacy did not want to control the government of the North. The Confederacy wanted independance FROM the rest of the union, not control over the other states. You are correct the the industrialized Northerners did not understand the agricultural South (rural/urban divide is nothing new) but the real issue was all about money - the south was selling their cotton to the UK for milling because it cost less and the North wanted that cotton in their mills. Both UK and the Northern states used wage slaves to process raw material so the issue was never about human rights. Abraham Lincon was not an abolitionist when he ran for President. He came up with that notion during the war to gain international support. Lincon was a politician.

The great Martin Luthor King had a dream that one day his childern would live in a country where they would be judged for the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
I fear the Americans have turned that on it's head electing a man for the colour of his skin not the content of his character. The bowing to the Saudis, the empty platitudes, are not POTUS Obama and Mr. Ignatiff graduates of Harvard?

Bush nor his cronies in his regime of deception and torture were not worth for standing for. He brought shame on the Office of President.

T stands for troll.

Garbage Mr. T. GWB did all the right things to do what he was elected to do - protect the American people. On his best day Obamarama couldn't carry W's briefcase. Every day Zero shows in one way or another that he lacks both the capability and understanding to effectively lead that nation.

Standing and kneeling at the same time, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

one more time. you all know how to spell stupid and you know what stupid is? right, right, right. silence.

Won't engage directly OWG :), but will always point out a MSM/leftist's lie.

Think if Bush W. had received a JB in the oval office while carpet bombing Bosnia he'd be given a bit more respect with the MSM and the left?
Remember when they were all hand wringing, screaming and crying of: "it's ALL for the oil!"?
NOW the new mantra is TORTURES!! While ignoring the murdering TERRORISTS that they bed with.
What utter retards.

{Pardon the misspelling of "anointed" above; seems there's a 'new' kind of buggy software in the spell checker of firefox lately.}

"GWB did all the right things to do what he was elected to do - protect the American people."

You can claim all you want that the Afghanistan War helped protect the American people (almost certainly did), there was no way Bush could have stopped 9/11 even if he did read the materials put in front of him (possibly could not), you can even say that the Iraq War was a good humanitarian thing to do because Hussein was a monster (he certainly was and they probably, in the long term, are)... but how can one claim that sending Americans to topple a foreign dictator with no ability to attack the US, no imminent ability to attack the US was "protecting the American people"??

Especially if you look at it from all of the things he might have done and done better had he not screwed up so badly in Iraq, like do a better and more focused job in Afghanistan, put more pressure on any number of countries that are now more belligerant because of Bush's failings in Iraq (Russia, Iran, N. Korea).

This may be just my opinion but to our commentor "New", you are trying to put too much in a single comment. Try to keep the related points together so your comments can be easier read and understood. You have many valid points and your comprehension in the English language is getting better.

I must, however, take exception to your references to the Queen and her portrait in various government offices. As a nation Canada has the Queen of Canada as her sovereign head. This goes back to the time when Canada was a mere colony of the British Empire. If, in the future Canada decides to separate the monarchy then I'm sure it will eventually happen.

The problem with many immigrants today is not that they remember their heritage but bring their politics and hatreds with them to their new country. Culture, religion, foods anmd heritage are celebrated by all Canadians but leave the war, strife and politics back where you came from. Also try not to be a hyphenated-Canadian or a Canuck of convenience.

end of sermon, amen.

Here is the question I would love the press to ask. When Bush had shoes thrown at him he dodged both. How many of those shoes would have connected to the side of your head as you read the teleprompter and how long would it take before someone put ouch up to read? Can't help it, got a visual.

" no ability to attack the US, no imminent ability to attack the US "

Nope; totally agree with your "thinking", surely only retarded flight school dropouts possess that "ability".

No excuse me!

After 911 Americans made it clear that countries that supported and harbored terrorists were on the naughty list(that means Iraq). Democrats and Republicans alike were hand in hand when Bush declared you're against us or with us. Just because YOU don't see the value in invading Iraq, it doesn't mean it isn't there; Clinton, Pelose, Dodd and Biden thought it was the right war, so I really don't see your point. If you'd prefer to say it was a war for oil; so be it. It's accepted on the left and right that energy security is part of national security, so I win that argument also. Have you asked an Iraqi lately their thoughts? Probably not, liberal thinkers assume, they don’t concern themselves with results.

Seriously, can you not see the benefit of establishing a strong democracy in the middle of the middle east? Can't you see how success in Iraq would be a positive catalyst for the rest of the middle east and a positive for world security?

They stand up like good little footsoldiers. Can a salute be too far off? Along with some nice matching uniforms?

Geead, but I hate knee-jerk reactions to questions that ignore the original comment.

I did not say whether or not there was any value in invading Iraq. I did not say it was about oil. I specifically did not say it was not good for the Iraqi people or could be a positive catalyst. It was not even a comment opposing the Iraqi War, Mr. Blind-support.

It was a very specific response to a specific and pretty outrageous comment that "Bush protected the American people".

I fully accept that there are lots of very valid and good reasons to knock of a murderous dictator like Hussein (or the far worse and more dangerous dictators Bush was afraid of in Iran, Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc.). But I do not accept that the Iraqi War protected the American people.

In fact, I think the war made the world a more dangerous place for Americans and so, in addition to all of the reasons that going to war in Iraq was studip, it failed in its fundamental purpose and Bush failed in his primary obligation as President.

"In fact, I think the war made the world a more dangerous place for Americans and so, in addition to all of the reasons that going to war in Iraq was studip, it failed in its fundamental purpose and Bush failed in his primary obligation as President."

Proof?

You've got nothing. I was simply demonstrating that almost EVERYONE felt it was in the best interest of national security to invade Iraq. The fact that YOU don't think it saved American lives is irrelevant. The fact that Democrats and their supporters would like to revise American history and forget they agreed with GWB is simply politics; your politics. Keep playing small ball and keep ignoring the bigger picture. Ignore the fact that a strong democracy with liberated people and a growing middle class helps protect America!

They stood up to honour a fellow professional.

What the US has is a constitutional lawyer that does not understand or respect the Constituion. Why are his educational records sealed? Is he listed as a foreign student? Was he marked as a an affirmative action student? A young Masters student I knew (competent by the way) said there is no way a female could fail her orals. I worked with affirmative action hires that couldn't have passed old school science classes. It is known that black males have the easiest ride, easier than black females. I sat on a Board that a black male failed the knowledge section which is an automatic fail. He had a Chemistry degree. He had failed previous Boards and had claimed discrimination. We were not informed of this fact pre-interview so our rating was not clouded. We hired a young woman that had one science class and was trained as a Vet Assistant. She did however have a good mind and a lot of common sense.

Heh, Circular concrete logic MSM style well displayed.

The MEDIA and leftists made the world more dangerous for Americans. They shouted and cried "everyone HATES Americans" day in and day out for almost a decade now, and at ever opportunity and on every continent.
They, the MEDIA/leftists, love to divided and that's why they worship the big OWE, suites their simplistic mind set IMHO. Don't have to think about it, just go with the flow eh?
Stuck on Stupid indeed.
Instead of delivering factual intelligent news, they follow the shallowness of algore, george soros and jon stewarts(all leftists/Media) that just make up $hit, while ignoring history and science to suite their lies and line their pockets as they know their adoring audience won't fact check them.
The leftists MSM, needs to die - faster.

@10:27

"nappy-headed," eh?

Gotta lurve this place.

ya all know the old hymn, stand up stand up for j--- oops obama.

speedy, you be too true. he was just plain fast.

" I was simply demonstrating that almost EVERYONE felt it was in the best interest of national security to invade Iraq."

I'm not denying lots of people felt it was the right thing to do. But who cares? You are caught up in history and conservative talking points and ignoring reality.

The statement made up above was that Bush actually did protect American lives. Not that he felt it would.

Back when we all thought or were led to believe that there were WMD - either from outright lies, incompetence or wishful thinking - there were grounds and knocking off Hussein would have conceivably protected American lives.

But we all know better now.

And so going to war in Iraq made the world more dangerous for Americans.
- obviously, soldiers lives were at stake so it was certainly more dangerous for them.
- CIA estimates showed a marked increase in Middle East sourced terrorist activity and bombings.
- Afghanistan was not pursued as vigilantly and with the full attention and resources that were required, and was therefore a more dangerous place and, not only was an opportunity to kill or capture Bin Laden squandered, but the Taliban were allowed to settle into stronger positions. We are seeing the fruits of that now.
- by pursuing an illegal war with no foundation and no imminent threat, and then screwing it up royally, worse dictators than Hussein's have gotten much more beligerant: Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea as only the most obvious examples.
- then there is the debt. History has shown that great powerful regimes have blown it when their military affairs exeeded their budgets and longterm revenues. From Rome to Louis XIV's France, to the British Empire and now to the US. The amount of money spent on the Iraq War has had a direct negative impact on the ability of the US to defend itself and strengthen itself.

So yeah, I do believe that there are a lot of good things about the Iraq War, including tossing Hussein, but no, I do not believe for a second that the Iraq War protected Americans. In fact, the evidence is the exact opposite.

When you get a group of dumb pricks they stand for anything

Okay Excuseme, you win./sarc

I guess a page of unsubstantiated bloviating passes for proof in your world.

You still haven't said anything real. For example: "by pursuing an illegal war with no foundation and no imminent threat, and then screwing it up royally, worse dictators than Hussein's have gotten much more belligerent: Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea as only the most obvious examples."

Please explain
1)What law has been broken that you use the term "illegal war"?

2) Explain how the Americans have "screwing it up royally"?

3) Explain how invading Iraq is related to the increasing "belligerence" of "Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea".

As I said, you're statements are nothing but bloviating. You draw connections between unrelated events to suit your argument and never offer anything concrete.

a diffferent bob: 'GWB did all the things he was supposed to do - like protect the American people'.

Did he protect'em from the biggest mass murder ever to take place on the watch of any President in the history of the country? Nope.

Amazing how you guys always *conveniently* gloss over that.

bleet:

If somebody kills you, we'll makes sure to pardon them ... since it's obviously your fault.

Let's see now, in may day, they called it kissing ass!

it will be interesting to see if the glow ever wears off, and they refrain from standing for even Obama.

set you free - heh. Nice one.

I wonder if there will be a Republic after four years of this rabid socialist?

Rev:

Yes. We The People will see to that.

Why so pessimistic?

The majority of the MSM in the U.S. have betrayed the Founding Fathers, and the very Constitution which provides them with special protection and priveleges.

They are not fulfilling their duty of providing arms-length, independent information about the government. In fact, they have become a de facto mouthpiece for one particular political party. It is a sad state of affairs -- it's pretty obvious Zero would never have been elected had the media reported on him impartially.

There will be hell to pay, down the road, for this bastardization of the U.S. political system.

The MSM isn't biased.
Imagine a person holding a 'coming out' party at their home to introduce a up and coming senatorial candidate.
That senatorial candidate later rises to become a leadership candidate for the Presidency of the United States.
The person responsible for the original introduction is then discovered to be a America hating unrepentent terrorist bomber and murderer.
We all know that the fine journalistic standards of our media would demand a investigation into such a unbelievably important allegation.
Right?
