      Everything with right-wing nuts is personal and petty. Guys like Loon Dobbs are incredibly jouvenile.

      Is this the same way the press in Spain & Hong Kong are treating their country's leaders for failing to bring home the Olympics???

        Spain and Hong Kong don't have an uppity, popular black President. The right wingers want to keep Obama in his place.

          Unfortunately, it's not just the right wingers. These AP and Politico stories are ridiculously overblown:

          I must concur. I never thought I would admit this, but a lot of this hostility seems to come from the fact that Chicago is about 40% black, Obama is black, Oprah Winfrey is black, Michelle Obama is black and that a lot of the press focused on the above (even though there were a lot more people in Chicago that pushed for an Olympics coming to Chicago). There is racism in America. I think a lot of Republican G.O.P.ers feel that Oprah Winfrey, with all her money and fame, had a lot to do with Obama getting started in his Presidential campaign. I also think that as soon as Michelle, Oprah and Obama were in the press together again it made them extremely agitated.

          Just my two cents. Ofcourse everyone will deny it, but that is why I think these people are so happy about the olympics not coming to Chicago (a great city).

        ... which was a rip-off of Matt Drudge.

        Funny how the right-wing noise machine echo chamber works, isnt it?

          The infotainment, noise machine is worthless. I guess Bush is a "crony".

      I'm disappointed in Dobbs. After watching him criticize the Bush administration for years, I never thought that he would turn in to CNN's variant of a Fox News wacko and not give this new president a frigging break!! President Obama is trying to deal with 8 years of failed foreign and domestic policies caused by the wacko wing of the GOP.

      If he doesn't tone his comments down, fickle America will reverse course again and we will have a Congress with more extremists a la Michelle Bachmann ......... shut the eff up Bobbs!!

      What they didn't use "Mission Not Accomplished" but I guess they don't want to be reminded of that!
