1. They'll keep it up, so long as it's working.
From DKos' weekly tracking poll:
...the highest percentage of Democrats to date (45%) indicated this week that they are either unlikely to vote, or certain not to vote.

republican

4. They have been bashing them both for some time. In fact, I remember huffington when she was a
republican. When I saw her kissing up to darral issa(sic) on Bill Maher's show, that told me exactly where her true sentiments lie, other then making big money off exploiting Democrats

10. Huffpo is trying to deliver the message Obama desperately needs to hear.
You people are desperately trying to keep him stupid.

11. so we dare not question our leader?
since this is still a democracy it`s our right and duty to question what ever he does. as far as i`m concerned he has a failing grade.

12. If Obama changed direction, I'll bet the tone of the articles would change. nt

13. Whatever direction or position he chooses, I bet it will be slanted in the direction that puts
the most negative spin on it.

15. That's what the media does.
You want it to be different? Regulate the airwaves, break up the monopolies, and institute a new, updated version of a fairness doctrine.

If Obama decides to do a 180 and suddenly step on to a leftward trail, I'll be thrilled, and as positive as I know how to be.
