It appears the White House has succumbed to the vicious non-stop attacks by the right wing noise machine. Not good. If President Obama, et al., aren't tough enough to rise above a hostile media, then the Breitbarts, the Becks, the Hannitys, the Murdochs have won control of America. But before the right breaks open the champagne, you might consider what that will mean by 2012 if Republicans win back their "power" in Washington. The left wing noise machine will be locked, fully loaded, and ready to fire back. Karma. And there goes my country. I'm glad that I probably won't live long enough to see Sarah Palin become President, Michelle Bachman her Vice President, Bill Kristol Secretary of State, Glenn Beck Communications Director, and robotic Dana Perrino back as Press Secretary (unless Fox gives her a big raise.) No need for predictions beyond 2016 in anticipation of Democrats coming back around again (for Round 3 of the vicious cycle the media circus has created), because by then probably some idiot would have made decisions that lead to a nuclear war, and the only competition left will be man v. wild. I've had a great life. If future generations don't wake up to the destruction of America by brainwashing, what will their lives be like?
They knew the right wing media was able to define the story in such a way as to obscure reality. That ability is now severely damaged. They have pushed so far their ability to LIE to the American people their lies are now front page news. they jumped the shark and are now fucked. No one will EVER believe breitbart again except the people on here who are sooooo braindead they believe ANYTHING from the right wing media machine no matter what the facts are. Fox has damaged themselves and will continue to do so because they are hell bent on supporting the R party no matter what the truth is. This is the momment in time when their lies have been outed for all to see.
In other words, the political cycle will continue like normal as it always has. Stop being such a crybaby.
Sorry, but I've been in the business for more than 30 years and it's never, ever been this bad. Gridlock and your generation's continuation of paying the salaries of lawmakers who rely on party-first priorities dictated by the mass media network which is now overshadowed by the Internet is what you have to look forward to.
A continued shift of controlled government from party to party like we have seen in the last eight years would be a disaster. Look where it has us now. We need a divided government.
