Obama compares GOP to hostage takers

In the spirit of bipartisanship, Obama referred to Republicans as hostage takers. At a time when you can't refer to real terrorists as terrorists, that was certainly an interesting analogy Obama chose to use. He can't seem to help himself. You'll recall before the elections that he referred to Republicans as the "enemy".

That strikes me as very harsh political rhetoric coming from the leader of the free world. Somehow, I don't think the press will be alarmed by it like they were over Republican use of age-old campaign jargon like "battleground states" and "targeted districts".

Couric: Is it Islamaphobia or Obamaphobia?

A breathless media seeks to correct the record on Obama's religion. But on the way to correcting the record, they conflate several issues and seek to merge the legitimate issue of the GZ mosque with the birther nonsense. Chuck Todd even throws-in Jeremiah Wright for good measure, implying that the criticism against Wright was a false controversy.







Who knew that this little clip with candidate Obama was just a sign of things to come. Once again, George Stephanopoulos was happy to quickly jump in and correct the record.
