I'm Totally Creeped Out Now

I've seen the SNL skit making fun of Obama and I had heard about the CNN Fact Check of that skit. In finally watched the CNN bit. Here it is.


What I had thought was silly and vapid before I watched it is truly disturbing after seeing it. This is propaganda with a 21st Century sophistication. CNN is serving notice that they will go after anyone who makes fun of the President. It's so fundamentally weird to see this. It's like watching a live M C Esher drawing.

Luckily, there's a Twitter thread making fun of CNN's idiocy. If it weren't for that, this would be even more surreal.

  1. This is absolutely bizarre. What opinion makers understand is that Obama is teetering on the brink and faces being negatively defined (like Ford as clumsy, Reagan as a lazy nap-taker, etc.) The no comment from the White House just reminds us that you can bet every last Bernanke buck in your wallet that they are paying close attention to this at 1600 Penn. Ave. Expect some high level effort to push His "accomplishments" very soon.

  2. Oh yeah, and dig the ridiculous "fact check" that couldn't even get the facts checked. Inability to pass health care legislation is wrong because the bill is bottled up in congress?
