Let's list all the people we used to like when they rodes bush's ass but that we now
dislike (or hate) because they're riding President Obama's ass now. I'll begin:

Jon Stewart

1. I always said the left would be sorry.
Jon Stewart is a comedian. He isn't left or right, just funny.

11. Why would the left be sorry about Stewart's take down of Obama?
Edited on Tue Apr-05-11 11:46 AM by damntexdem
Stewart is correct.

3. You started with the #1 person that is about to get bashed hard
I've already seen it. Jon Stewart deals in reality. Ideologues don't like reality - they want their side, and only their side, even if their "side" isn't dealing with reality. It's like dealing with a fan of a sports club. Even if their sports club is playing terribly, they still pretend they are playing great.

Some are unwilling to face the reality that "support the Dems!" doesn't work unless the Dems support their constituents.

4. David Gregory wins that award hands down
It's like he's a different person than when he was at the WH Press Briefings.

6. I like Jon Stewart just fine. His comedy is wicked, but that's just him.
I have far more problem with DUers who refuse to see anything that Obama has done well.

14.  To some of Obama's most sted-fast supporters on DU...
...other members who criticize anything Obama has done are painted as those "who refuse to see anything that Obama has done well.

Have you ever noticed that??

16. Have you ever noticed the proliferation of posters who claim Obama has done nothing?
:shrug:

Where do you stand on that?

18. You haven't addressed my question/point.

Attempts at re-directing the conversation is another thing I have noticed.

22. I would agree.
Some of it, however, is a reaction to the unmistakable anti-Obama sentiment that goes so far as to deny that he has made any progress at all.

Have you noticed that, too?

17. +1. In the early days of WI protests, I kept pointing out that Hilda Solis is
a MAJOR union supporter--and that his choice of her for Sec of Labor. I said the same when she was appointed--deaf ears.

I'm no Obama fangirl--just objective.

7. If that doesn't prove people lack principles and integrity, I don't know what does.
Sad. I thought Dems stood for something.

12. I find it amusing that some think Jon Stewart actually has a
"side" he takes. Tomorrow he'll say something that pisses off those to the left of Obama and they'll be complaining.It happens every time. Jon Stewart isn't supposed to be on anybodies "side".He's a comedian, when he finds a joke somewhere,he goes for it.

13. +1
The exact same people singing his praises today for cracking jokes on Obama will be whining to the end's of the Earth tomorrow because he say's something mean about Dennis Kucinich.

23. Most of us feel too disenchanted
Edited on Tue Apr-05-11 01:57 PM by Enthusiast
to find jokes about Obama especially humorous. Mostly we feel a deep sadness about what we see as clear betrayal.

32. Stewart simply said said both sides use fallacious arguments, and have a
bias towards their own opinions.

31. I've even seen Keith Olbermann bashed
and incredibly, even journos like Jeremy Scahill, going way back.
