Anyone find the Meme: Pres. Obam is doing too much, a farce.
President Obama is pushing thru so many changes and so much policy so fast, the Pugs and the Media cannot keep up. They don't have a week to chew on one item. One minute its last yrs budget and next Pres. Obama is talking about his outline for this years budget. He's got so much going at one moment, and the rest of msm and pugs want to still re-hash the stimulus. How has ever doing too much been a problem? If he was doing one thing very slowly at a time, then they'd say his first 100 days were terrible.

I've seen many pugs and msm say over and over again, he needs to focus on the economy. Healthcare and education should not be on his brain too. They are either the dumbest or the slimiest people in the world because everyone on mainstreet can see the connection with economy, healthcare, and education... they all go hand in hand right along with becoming energy independent.

1. If the media says it, it's a farce. Unless it's covert-mediaman Jon Stewart. nt

4. They want a one-ball juggler and they want it to be their ball. They
don't want to share the proceeds with anyone else. Thieving bankfuck thieves.

3. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The media is contrary. If Obama were focusing on just the economy, they would be whining that there are so many urgent issues & he should be focusing on more than just one!

Fuck the media. They are a good part of why were in this shit pile.

5. Yes.
Here's a great analysis of how it's getting done despite the gnashing of teeth from the r/w. Lots of embedded links in the article that source their points.

The Case For Walking and Chewing Gum

If anyone says otherwise, send them this. That should shut them up.

6. President Obama could be seen walking and chewing gum without tripping and the Repukes would say
Edited on Sun Mar-15-09 11:31 AM by 4lbs
he's doing too much. They only have the drooling idiot Bush as a reference.

7. Let's ask mainstream america if he is doing too much too
quick.. i am sure they will say, President O is doing just fine. It's the media coming up with bullshit to discredit everything President O is trying to do.

I hope P.Obama slams back at this meme...

9. Look at the source....
Those complaining the loudest that Obama is doing too much were perfectly complacent for years to have Bush & Co. do too little.

10. The media is only interested in keeping the fear alive for the American people
This gives them something to talk about and keeps their ratings up. The don't really care about the seriousness of the current environment.

12. Because being against everything at once, makes them look like
what they are; against change....and since they don't have any good ideas to counter each of the many proposals that Obama is putting out into the pipeline, they have decided to just criticize his overall strategy instead of his individual proposals. They hope to slow him down, so that they can then take down one issue at a time and not look so obvious while doing it.

13. I never saw so many petty issues in detail like this before.
Edited on Sun Mar-15-09 01:01 PM by Life Long Dem
Bush never was even questioned by the news media, and now they are "keeping them honest".

Let me add... and this being the most honest President I've ever witnessed on top of the news media's real importance this time aground of "keeping them honest". Until their next round of course.

14. Absolutely!
How many times am I going to see that as a headline, I'd like to know. I'm reminded how Obama has promised change. Because he IS shaking up the status quo, he has media and conservatives reaching for anything to try to get public opinion see it their way and so that the meme becomes a self-destructive virus. I'm just hoping we who elected him stay wise to their trickery and continue to support Obama's much needed changes.

16. David Gregory put it right in his Meet the Press intro today
"Has the White House tried to take on too many problems at once?"

That shows ya the Repuke DC establishment is pissed.
