That makes this one scary as hell...... Some of us survived Johnson's War and Carter's Incompetence....

The Democrats in all their shining wisdom said back in 1964 that if I voted for Barry Goldwater, we would have a War in Vietnam, Higher Taxes and a completely Screwed up fool for a President. The Democrats were right.

Big sample you are drawing from there, droski. Three presidents, 40 years apart. Yep. Inevitable that Obama will fare as they did. Inevitable.

how many did you think there would be and what makes you think the dynamic will be different.

We just watched a R generate a very similar pile of disasters from a similar style majority.

Any groupthink possibilities from those two gov't branches is a problem, IMO.

My point is that while some of the dynamics might be similar, you cannot conclude that Obama's presidency will be like theirs were. I mean, the differences in the conditions are staggering when you think about it.

not really. you have a republican president generally disliked and considered dumb which results in the populace electing a president far further left than they normally would. now which seems more likely. obama continues to be far left and pushes his social programs and taxing the rich (i.e. he is who he has been his entire career) or he decides to go more moderate to do what is best for the country?

yeah, Johnson and Carter didn't have Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid running Congress.

The best thing that is going to come out of the next two to four years is that there won't be any way for the Democrats to blame the Republicans for the Obama administration's failures.

You thinking that it is even remotely indicative of Obama's future performance and trying to correlate the two is further proof of your growing ignorance.

is there anything in Obama's record to indicate that all is going to be sweetness and light?

keep in mind, that for at least the next two years, the democrats won't be able to blame republicans for anything. I'm sure they'll try, and with a fawning media they'll get away with it. Your side would go apoplectic when the right invoked Clinton's failures and their effects on the Bush administration. Get ready for equal time.

Don't worry about it, unless Fox News reports it you will never hear a single news report of Obama's failures.

Actually they were very fair between the two candidates.

The studies showed their coverage was even when it came to McCain and Obama, even in the negative vs positive. Same cannot be said for any other network.

The only thing Faux News is good for is an appalled laugh.

Ever see the footage of the wet t-shirt contest while they talked about the Spring Break serial rapist? Quality reporting!!!

I'm sure you thought the same of Chris Wallace at 60 Minutes and Greta at CNN. Similarly, I assume you consider the networks complete garbage along with CNN, MSNBC, NYT, LAT........and on and on and.........on and on........and on and on.

Does that compare to the little gems we've been given from MSNBC over the past six months?

I have not seen the video you speak of, and I don't watch enough of any of these cable outlets to compare.

I was speaking more of the news content, or lack thereof, of the shows that I have seen.
