I think the people who do commentaries for CNN are morons. Democrat, Republican, Moderate, whatever.
An excerpt from Jack Cafferty's list of things he thinks Obama discovered in his first week:
You can't overturn President Bush's executive order banning abortion funding for charitable groups overseas without incurring the wrath of anti-abortion groups in this country.
I'm sorry, does he think Obama is lacking a brain and/or common knowledge about politics? Wait, okay, so after overturning an executive order passed by someone against abortions, he pissed off people who are against abortions? SERIOUSLY? OH MY GOD. THAT IS CRAZY AND UNEXPECTED.
The stimulus package is not going to be a walk in the park either.
Fixing the biggest recession in 26 years is not going to be easy. Huh. Thank you for alerting me to this fact.
There's also Campbell Brown, who only comments about the most obvious news in the world (although when the bigger issue is too hard for her to understand, she focuses on something stupid and insignificant instead). I kid you not, one of her commentaries was called "Idea of selling Senate seat is delusional." Another commentary on November 20th was called "Big Three must show a plan."
I almost want to go into journalism just so I can slap these people in the face someday. Thankfully there are even more idiots writing for television, so there will still be plenty of future opportunities to do good via slapping sprees.
